BEAUFORT, S.C. (AP) — Beto O’Rourke took a path somewhat less traveled on Friday, meeting with a small group representing a community of slave descendants in South Carolina as he strives to make connections with the black voters who will play a dominant role in next year’s Southern presidential primaries.

In the community room of a Baptist church in Beaufort, a picturesque historic enclave on the state’s southern coast, the Democratic presidential candidate and former Texas congressman met with leaders of the Gullah/Geechee Nation, a culture of coastal slave descendants.

Known as Gullah in the Carolinas and Geechee in Georgia and Florida, the culture is based on farming and fishing and has its own Creole language, history, cooking and crafts, with its communities nestled primarily among a 35-mile cascade of barrier islands. Scholars say separation from the mainland allowed the Gullah to retain much of their African heritage, including a unique dialect and skills such as cast-net fishing and basket weaving.

Let's wallow in the pain of the Great Irish Famine... or better let's wallow in the millions of people murdered by Stalin - and the hundreds of millions murdered by Mao...

Why always back to ‘slavery’? Americans were the first country in the world to outlaw slavery. We are the saviors in this drama - not the villains.

Slavery has existed since the dawn of time - and OUR LITTLE COUNTRY - FOUNDED IN 1776 - OUTLAWED SLAVERY BY 1865 - LESS THAN A HUNDRED YEARS AFTER the United States came into existence.

Black citizens should be falling on their knees thanking us... not wallowing in self-pity. (and yeah, I know how that sounds)

My suggestion if 'liberals' want to do something meaningful with their lives - they should travel to Arab states and where ever slavery still exists and FIGHT IT THERE. Same with their crybaby thugs in the press. Pack up and fight slavery where it exists today - the Middle East and almost every commie hellhole on the planet.

As long as racial hucksters can make bucks riding the slavery train, we’ll be hearing about “America’s Shame.”

It is not the shame of America” generally but that of the Democrat Party.
