Thread Name: BS: Slavery is a blessing in disguise
Subject: RE: BS: Slavery is a blessing in disguise
Here were are 150 years removed from slavery yet we have never, as a nation, come to grips with it's effects... We have failed to repair the damage inflicted to black people and allowed white people a "wink-wink-pass" to blame black people for that failure...

As recent as 1979 white America gave that "wink-wink-pass" as the KKK opened fire on a non-violent protest march in Greensboro, N.C. killing many of the protesters... No arrests were ever made...

As recent as 4 years ago a white vice-presidential candidate said nothing as white people yelled "Hang him" in reference to Obama at her rallies...

As recent as the 1960's black people were still being lynched for perceived behaviors that white people didn't like...

Our nation is like a broken car that we continue to drive knowing it is broken... Rather than fix it correctly we patch it up a little here and a little there...

We now have re-segregated schools through out the South... We have an expensive and winless war against black people with stupid drug laws where penalties for crack cocaine (the choice of black people) are 30 times greater than those for the powder form (the choice of white people)...

I'm sorry, but the major problem in the country ain't black folks but white folks who have shirked their responsibilities for shit that white people have done... I don't give a flying fuck if you, as a white person, didn't enslave black people... You are enjoying the wealth and infrastructure that was built on the backs of black people so quit with all this self-righteous bullshit... Man up and quit with the washrag, crybaby mythology...

Yeah...

Man the fuck up!!!
