Mob in Peoria shoots fireworks at police, firefighters...

Your ignorance of the subject is noted. I am not downplaying what people who were sold by African tribes to slave traders experienced. I don't think you should downplay what people who were kidnapped from Ireland (note that they weren't sold), and brutally beaten experienced.

I suggest that if you are going to play the slavery card that you get with the pciture and understand that it wasn't just those with black skin. Shall we also discuss Asian slavery?

FWIW, your "outrage" is based on ignorance of the topic of all slavery. Once you do some research, I am sure that you will find yourself with more tempered responses as you discover that more than those with dark skin were slaves.

 

Superbadbrutha, can you please address my questions ? I won't be rude to you, no matter what you say, I promise.

 

Dang, where'd the bruthas run to?

<sound of crickets>

 

Honestly, I hope he is researching slavery of the Irish as well as slavery in

Japan
China
Korea

 

but then he won't be able to play the slavery card

 

My point is, why is 1960 the cut-off.

Really, if that is the case then why are young whites the biggest consumers of gangsta rap.

The Great Society was not a disaster the fraud and the running of many of the programs is were the disaster came in.

I am not familiar with that cultural meme maybe you can bring me up to speed.

I guess slavery and Jim Crow had nothing to do with it. I guess racism and discrimination have never played a role in that either. How about the so-called Justice System in this country I guess it hasn't played a part either.

Check out the picture on my Avatar and google it, that should pretty much answer your question.

Now I have a few questions for you.

Why is it that the Good Cowboy wore white and the Bad Cowboy wore black.

Angel Food Cake is white, Devil Food Cake is Black.

Stock Market crashes its called, "Black Monday".

Its ok to tell a little "white lie", but don't ever tell a black one.

If your tricked or duped out of a business or faternity, etc. its called, "Black balled". Why not whiteballed.

Do you see where I am going.

See above.

Thats good advice just make sure you follow it yourself.

Is that good enough for you.

Likewise.

 

Again Irish people as a whole have never suffered the atrocities in this country that black folks have. That is not any thing that needs to be researched, anybody with a HS diploma (except those in denial) knows that.

 

He could still play it and that would be OK. But, at least he would show his willingness to learn and understand that there are misconceptions which he obviously has been force fed. Should we even dare get into forced marriages, brides that were sold and more beyond the obvious slavery which I previously mentioned. I do not condone any of that. All men/women are meant to be free.

It's just natural for us to want to make decisions for ourselves and choose our own paths. Maybe that's another reason why I am a conservative. maybe I view the statist attitude of liberals to be akin to a form of slavery, or at least indentured servitude.

 

perhaps we should purge the dictionary so that it doesn't oppress you

 

Natural order of things, slavery is alive and well in Africa by Africans. Africans sold slaves to Arabs to go to the America's, like PB&J, that's the way it's supposed to be I guess.

 

You have tried to rewrite History before, it didn't work out to well did it.

 

now I'm oppressing you

 

Yea, but we live in America don't we.

Interesting, so if you walk out your front door and someone splatters your guts all over the door is that the way it should be, now that sounds pretty stupid doesn't it.

 

Now that sounds really intelligent coming from someone in the Education field. Thanks for the all your hard work.

 

I didn't get where I am with a SAT score of 600.

I'll leave that to you

 

This is kids stuff really.

Black Pearl......................Highly Valuable

Black chip.........................100 dollar chip

Being in the Black................Is profit

Black Beauty........................Wonderful horse and Movie

Come on Super,,,this is childish.....

 

I would say that things started to fall apart in the Black community at that time, again, cuz of the great society welfare programs which drove the men out of the home.

Ironically young Whites are adopting the gansta culture too. It's a bad influence. The music is often inciteful, violent, and denigrating of women.

I totally disagree with you there. It drove men out of the household in order to qualify for benefits.

You should be. You've never heard Black kids think "school ain't cool" ???

I didn't say they didn't. You shouldn't assume that I think that.

I know it's James Brown. I'll give you that point.

But, the larger point is something I'd like your response to:

There is so much sentiment among young Blacks that being bad - breaking the law - IS cool, and talking and acting "bad" is cool too. That's wrong and not only harms the victims but ultimately the Blacks who have the poor judgment to follow that type of behavior.
They end up in trouble or dead.

In fact, you mentioned White kids are buying so much gansta music. I see them dressing more that way with the bling and the gang colors and the pants pulled down. The culture of incivility among young Blacks and gansta pop culture is so prevalent, it's spilled into White culture and civility is declining in general.

Black and white as representing good and evil go back to biblical times and predate association with race.
Black also represents death and always has.

See above. And Devil's Food cake is brown because it's chocolate.

Really? REALLY ???
Again the association with death. Market crashes mean bad new for finances. It's not a race thing.

Basic association with good and evil as stated above. Not race related.

That has nothing to do with race.
Here's some background on the origin of the phrase:

"Have you ever heard the expression of being "Black Balled"? This has to do with the size of a ball rather then the color. Well this fabulous piece was made by some Swedish immigrant carpenter, somew in the 1900's to 1910's, to use in voting. The members must have been given 2 different sized balls or marbles and when each member filed past the box, they dropped in their vote by adding a larger or smaller marble. If the wrong sized BALL was found, the man was not allowed in as a new member or the idea being presented, was vetoed. Better known as "black balled."

Again this was not associated with race, but the basic concept of good and evil.

"Black" is a colloquialism. Black people are differing shades of brown. There is no true black skin.

I almost think you're testing me, because blaming these things on race is SO ridiculous.
Having some fun with me, sir?

 

Prior records

 

Yes, we live here but genetics seem to shine through. The cream rises to the top, the sludge to the bottom.

I see no reason for anyone to splatter my guts anywhere since I have no propensity to do it to anyone else unless it was to defend me or mine.

 

Really?

You didn't feel that way a few days ago:

 

What are we going to do to stop these lawless animals?

 

What if they had concealed weapons? Lol. So instead of getting beat up, you are now dead.

 

Your claim you back it up with cites to your assertion.

In the mean time explain why you are defending the actions of these lawless animals?

 

And this is "a current event" how exactly?

 

Electing them to public office isn't working.
