This Wayne Bennett character believes that a crime committed against an innocent person needs to be balanced by one ostensibly committed by an unrelated person from another era.

Anyone have a relative who owned slaves? Didn't think so... Anyone have a relative who's been a victim of black crime... Yep, thought so again... Maybe Wayne Bennett can't do math...

Actually I do. On the other hand my direct ancestors got to come here without paying passage since they were sold into bondage as they were caught stealing sheep to live after their tenancy was abolished in the second wave of enclosures in the 18th century. Since they were thieves they got to do a double rip of 12 years as bondsmen before they were let loose and told to get out of South Carolina pronto. They moved on to Virginia and started moving up the food chain. I tell this tale to the Amish I sometimes hear bewailing their lot at the hands of evil Whitey. i also ask them how many of their ancestors owned slaves back in the ‘old country’. This stuff does make for some intriguing conversations.

******

Yes. What of it? They clothed, fed, housed and cared for them so nothing has really changed.

They also fought for their freedom, family against family. 750,000 Americans died because of slavery and it was a war that Blacks still want to hang on to...Boo Hoo!

White people died in the Civil War to abolish slavery and nig nogs still b!tch.

Get over yourselves and get a job. That is all.

As a matter of fact, one of my great grandfathers owned slaves, so what. If I am attacked by one of Obama’s sons that fact will not slow me down for one nanosecond in responding with deadly force.
