i still don’t really think the ‘gop’ will dissolve or that a third party will make a serious challenge to it, but i get less and less sure of that, seemingly with every passing day…

The Young Republican probably does not care about 99% of people.

Do rich, old, white men make up 1% of the population?

These “PATHETIC MORONS”,need to be exposed every time they come out of their “HOLES”.

Whether Rep. King, acknowledge the contributions of the Slaves to building the Nations Capital is “IRRELEVANT”, because Rep. King is “IRRELEVANT”.

It happen, and he nor any one else can ever change that History.

In other words, Rep King agrees with MLK that the Vietnam war was “senseless, unjust”, and that the US must change from Capitalist to Socialist.

Keep digging, Rep. King, keep digging.

1,612,500 Africans would have been kidnapped

976,500 (3 out of 5) would survive the march to the sea.

645,000 (2 out of 3) would survive the Middle Passage and would ultimately arrive in North America.

So for the 645,000 people who made it here alive, 645,000 people would have lost their lives during the overland death march and 322,5000 would have lost their lives during the Middle Passage. I know these are only estimates but they are estimates on the order of magnitude of a Holocaust. We are typically not very accurate at calculating the body counts of our own crimes but making the effort would show that we are actually serious about presenting a “balanced depiction of history”.

There is also the problem of capitalism wanting people to work for nothing. Or today, as close to nothing as they can get.

Nobody cares about blacks

I suppose you want them wiped off the planet as well.

How many times must it prove its racism with offensive and ridiculous remarks? How many times must the posters point out the blatant plagerism without citation?

Honestly – what do you have to do to get kicked off this site? This isn’t just a matter of differing opinions, it’s a matter of the complete lack of any decency in someone who hates people because of their skin color and steals other people’s intellectual works. Not banning him is tantamount to condoning his actions, and I expect more from people who claim to be progressive.

It was they who were primarily responsible for bringing the majority of slaves from Africa to work on plantations. Why? Because they didn’t want to do the work for themselves.

That’s not exactly true. It is easy to assume that the reason for slavery was lazy white people, but that’s really not a fair assumption. The South was THE source for the farmed goods that the entire country depended on. You didn’t have many cotton plantations in the urbanized North, for example. The main reason that the South refused to give up slavery was not racism, but business interest. Slave labor was free labor, and to pay people to work the fields would have made the cost of the goods so much more that many would not be able to afford it, and thus business hurts.

Now, I’m certainly not defending this. It offends my sensibilities in so many ways, I can’t even begin to get into it here, but the truth of the matter is that it wasn’t evil racism that made the South pro-slavery, it was the almighty dollar.

On a different note, I’ve had the same experiences as a Southerner as missmolly. I have noticed that when I’m in the North, or in a city, the areas are much more segregated and the people much more distrusting of their fellow citizens of color, and are frankly quite rude to everyone else. Here, though, we all live in the same neighborhood, and everyone is treated with the same level of courtesy and hospitality. There are some jerks, but most people are just simply nice to everyone. People are people, and everyone needs other people to give a damn every now and again. Most people who visit the south suddenly understand why we say that Northerners and city-folk are rude. It’s because compared to us, they are.

In fairness to the farmers, one must realize that the farmers get scr*wed on both ends, by the big seed and fertilizer companies and the commodities market. Farmers have little say on how much they get for their crops.

Few urban people appreciate the hard work and difficulties the farmers face.

Now, the racist south (some states who still wave the confederate flag) is mostly Republican and still entertaining the thought of breaking off from the union after all these years. (Can someone say Texas? Lol)…

Do you think you are telling us something we don’t know? Absolutely everyone here knows this.

The civil war was fought to keep the racist south -who were then mostly democrats- from breaking off from the rest of the nation. Lincoln had to be pressured by liberal radicals and incrimintalist to free the slaves, and he only did it after he saw a military advantage in doing so.

If Lincoln could’ve kept the union together and kept slavery at the same time, HE WOULD’VE.

He was a racist by todays standards, just as many of the Union soldiers were, but he was viewed as a good man when measured against the men of his time because he was considered the lesser of two evils. Now because of Lincoln’s efforts -and his relationship with Fredrick Douglas- post slavery, mostly all blacks were REPUBLICAN.

When the republican party decided to employ the racist “southern strategy” to attempt to appeal to the racist south, blacks abandoned the party of Lincoln and defected to the democratic plantation in DROVES.
