    It's part of the historical record.

    How do you mean?

    Lincoln was an anti-Capitalist, pro-labor, who wanted to add value of productivity back to the laborer not to the capitalist who owned that laborer.

    Because slavery was heinous and racist. Whites were never slaves in the US. Never, no matter how much you want to try and equivocate a 7 year debt of indentured servitude to slavery.

    Slavery was brutal, and evil, and it doesn't matter that SOME slaves at SOME TIMES were treated "better" than other slaves.

    They were not equivalent.

    The owner of an indentured servant's contract rapes her, impregnates her, and then tries to treat the child as his property: he's committed a crime that in most states was punishable by hanging.

    A slaveowner rapes a slaves, impregnates her, and then tries to treat the child as his property: he gets elected 3rd President of the United States.

    They aren't (*)(*)(*)(*)ing comparable.

    So when discussing a topic, one is required to bring up everything about it if it is part of the historical record?

    Seriously, what was the point?

    Yes, that is what history is all about - the facts, all of them.

    Conversations with you must really be long winded and uninteresting if you believe when discussing a topic you must bring up every single aspect about that is part of the historical record. Someone asks you about your house and you start explaining the process required to make the screws that hold up the dry wall.

    Leftists only pretend to oppose slavery. casual perusal of their social and economic agendas prove a wish for authoritarian Big Government to not only be their masters, but yours.

    The Democratic party's stance on minorities is that they cannot succeed on their own and that they can only succeed with the help of the left. It is the bigotry of low expectations.

    What's not to like about drywall screws ?? :clapping:

    Yep, lily white liberals let their pigmented pet minorities know they think they're too stupid to get photo ID every time the subject comes up.

    The funny thing is that in states which instituted photo ID laws the left lawyers tried to find people who had been prevented from voting because they could not show a photo ID. They could not find anyone. Except for a lady in IN who was not allowed to vote after presenting a FL drivers license. :smile:

    The Black slave population did grow faster than the rate of Europe at the same time, which would support that they may have been better fed than the peasants of Europe who had to fend for themselves.

    Well I just did.


    That's what the world was like back then and today Africa is still in the slave trade business and the Muslim world in the Middle East are still buying these slaves, the same slave owners that the Clinton Foundation and Hillary's campaign accepts money from.

    America would have followed suit and ended slavery at the same time Great Britain did in 1833 if it weren't for the Nat Turner Rebellion of 1831. A black slave prolonged slavery in America for 32 years.

    Then you must be so ignorant about both that you opinion isn't even worth considering.

    They need their Useful Idiots thinking they can't navigate life in America without the Democrat Plantation Masters' "help".

    truly despicable ideology. One of elitist condescension cloaked in conspicuous "compassion"

    Bill O'Reilly once again proves that he is a shmuck. Someone tell Bill that livestock were fed well too because property must be cared for and maintained so as not to lose its value and prolong the mileage you can get out of it..:wall:

    So did Bill O'Reilly's ancestors.

    Maybe your ancestors were drinking buddies with O'Reilly's ancestors ???
