Virginia city limits Confederate flag-flying

They're just older and were brainwashed by the Southern hating media back in the 60s seeing those poor black people denied entry to white universities and fire hoses, police dogs. etc, etc. Most people think the Selma to Montgomery march was a blood bath when in fact no one was killed, yet they call it "Bloody Sunday". It was nothing compared to the British crackdown in India where they really did gun down protesters, no need for fire hoses there when British rifles can get the job done. Younger people are tired of this victimization nonsense. They don't see blacks as oppressed.

I'm not THAT old, LOL!

Younger people today are part of the most coddled generation EVER. Hell....you can't even spank your freakin' children in your own home without possible worry that someone will report you and you will get paid a visit from CPS.

Young people today don't have it so tough. Of course, this does not include those individuals who were sent off to the Middle East to fight a war that SUCKS only to come back with their asses shot off.... I am not referring to those young people at all.

Can I ask if you saw an afro-american that you thought was good looking, would you not mind him having his way with you, assuming there was no altercations?

Whaaa? Where the hell did THIS come from?? LOL! Sahson....I'm married. There's your answer. I don't do the cheating thing because my marriage vows actually MEANT something to me.

My views on interracial relationships have been presented in several other threads on here, however. Look them up

Given in lecture? At a university? Spin job garbage. They get that (fallacious) figure by dividing the number of slaves by the population and there was 1 slave for every 4-5 people. Slaves also cost about the equivalent of a luxury car back then, so most people couldn't just arbitrarily buy slaves. So this notion of people buying slaves and then arbitrarily abusing them and starting them is just utter horse shit. A slave was a BIG investment. Of course they wanted them well fed and healthy so they could WORK. They get the "just one slave" figures by calculating average income and figuring how many people could afford a slave, etc. The truth is that 2% of all Americans, and 5% of southerners were actual slave owners. Most slave ownership was concentrated with wealthy plantation owners. It was rare that someone owned just one slave. Usually slave owners were farmers/plantation owners and owned many slaves.

Another inconvenient fact that they don't like to include in their lectures: being a slave trader was one of the number one employers of freed slaves. One in four freed slaves was a slave owner or slave trader themselves. Would that not also impute some guilt upon blacks themselves for slavery? After all, the slaves came from AFRICAN slave owners in the first place. NYC was the no 2 per capita city in terms of slave ownership. Oh, and that "emancipation proclamation"? It only freed the slaves in the confederate states. If the civil war was about slavery, why did Lincoln only free the southern slaves in his emancipation proclamation? Why is it never mentioned that Lincoln fully intended to "repatriate" all the slaves back to Africa after abolition?

I don't know about only 2%, from the numbers given in lecture 20% (still a minority) had 1 slave, less than half of those slave owners having more than 2 slaves. Still fewer slave owners than non-slave owners either way.

I said with no altercations, meaning if you had the chance to sleep with an afro-american, would you? sleep meaning more than just catching some z's. I.E. copulation.

No. I'm married...remember? Black dudes aren't my type anyway.

Nice try. LOL. Would you sleep with a nonwhite woman?

It would be racist if I didn't.

No it wouldn't. No one can dictate who or what you are attracted to. It's when there is legislation telling you that it is ILLEGAL for you TO sleep with the person you are attracted to that we are entering the slippery slope.
