I was asked and even accused of being racists while serving in the army and always by black soldiers. Of course they would ask me if I was a cracker or a red neck. And if I got promoted there were always guys who were saying I got promoted because I was white or they didn't get promoted because they were black. I tell ya if I wasn't racist before this I damn sure got that way after awhile.

A peaceful slavery...ROFLMAO!!! I guess if you keep your head down and don’t get uppity with them it might be peaceful.

I’m as compassionate as I know how to be, so it must just be ignorance and a poor upbringing on my part. Or perhaps your dog

"Slavery is the only explanation allowed for black crime, general lack of achievement, and other behavioral pathologies. It doesn’t really explain anything; it is just the only explanation permitted. "

Black (ex-slave) immigrants from the Caribbean who live in NY city have a higher average income than the White majority.

I saw one of those immigrants quoted saying,"Isn't America wonderful, anyone here can get rich just by working hard".

"I always ask: just list me any invention that came from the sub Saharan africa continent?"

"Times up and sorry the blow gun does not count as it was in use in South America long ago too."

9. The Blowgun

This weapon dates back thousands of years, however the specific time of origin is unknown. Although the blowgun was used (and still is) throughout the world, there is no actual records of it's use by the Pygmies or Forest People of Africa. I believe the blowgun originated in S.E. Asia, for there are records dealing with its use throughout this area, including Malaysia, New Guinea and Borneo. It was probably taken by migrating peoples to what is now Japan. There blowguns carved from ivory are still intact. Blowguns are not used in warfare unless by the under strength insurgent groups, such as in the Philippines during the Spanish American war.

For some reason American blacks think they are the only people ever enslaved in the history of the world. The entire history of the world consists of stronger cultures colonizing and enslaving weaker cultures, which are eventually assimilated.

Wouldn’t the stone axe or stone hammer be a sub-saharan african invention?

“I was asked once if I was a racist.”

Racists are people who are winning an argument over a liberal.

“Is this guy a “affirmative action scholar” or a regular scholar?”

That’s the exact question I was asking myself. His ‘arguments’ wouldn’t pass muster in any critical thinking course I could name.
