How do you think seeing someone flying the Confederate flag affects black people?

That's ancient history! Black people in America had better be very grateful for slavery in America. If it weren't for slavery in America, today's blacks would be scratching around some third world country to survive. As it is, all things being equal, today's blacks fare better than today's whites.

If you doubt this, I suggest you read Myths That Divide Us, by John Perazza.

Slavery isn't ancient history. I do not know of any black American greatful for slavery. Do you? I can see someone rejoicing in the ability to bring something good out of profound suffering. Your statement comes off as a kneejerk offense to someone else's kneejerk offense. You aren't God and have no idea what would have happened without slavery.

That's ancient history! Black people in America had better be very grateful for slavery in America. If it weren't for slavery in America...

You are one sick SOB and an embarrassment not only to Free Republic but all Americans, Christianity and humanity itself. Your statement is the equivalent to anti-Semitics stating that Jews are better off because of the Holocaust because now they have their own nation. What a disgrace and embarrassment you are.
