    Me too. You'll enjoy this guy. 13:55 - 16:00 is black history in a nutshell. Even this guy knows who started slavery (14:55):

    Them big black hearts! :applause:

    Africans have excelled where it counts, though. Weren't black Africans the biggest slave traders of them all?

    You sound like these Palestinians who wants to return to homes they once lived in, abandoned them, and hate the country they're trying to return to :D

    How does it feel to be a perpetual victim? Not all blacks by far, do. Some decided to excel in life and live the American dream!

    The era is responsible... the era. Everyone had slaves, and so had America, the country of Immigrants.

    The era has changed, and America has changed with it. Why can't you just accept this historic fact?

    And that's it right there in a nutshell.

    We tend not to put labels on people or use check boxes, but the left certainly has plenty of labels and check boxes and everyone of them are told they're victims.

    When conservatives create jobs and improve the economy then things are improved for everyone, not just the people with labels and have check boxes.

    Indeed. And it does feel good being a victim. No need to live a stressful life, trying to better oneself.

    ~ It feels awful. These people are unhappy and seldom enjoy life. Low self-esteem and anger prevail. All the resentment is very stressful .

    What have the Democrats done for you?

    The black Democrats do everything they can to reject any attempts by anyone on the right to do anything for them. When was the last time you gave Trump credit for anything like sentencing reform?

    Biden sponsored the 1994 Violent Crime Reform Bill that put so many blacks in jail for minor offenses. Trump is trying to fix that.
    What the First Step Act achieved
    "More than 3,000 inmates have been released and another roughly 1,700 people convicted of crack cocaine offenses have seen their sentences reduced thanks to the First Step Act, according to data from the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the U.S. Sentencing Commission. Some of that activity stems from a 2011 change made by the federal sentencing commission affecting people convicted of certain drug crimes and a provision of the First Step Act. That provision made the sentencing guidelines of the Obama-era Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 retroactive.

    The majority of those released under both acts have been black men, the group which the "war on drugs" campaign of the '70s and '80s effectively targeted."

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/po...ead-reform-what-has-criminal-justice-n1079771



    "Nick Turner of Vera put the human costs even more starkly.

    "If you're a black baby born today, you have a 1 in 3 chance of spending some time in prison or jail," Turner said. "If you're Latino, it's a 1 in 6 chance. And if you're white, it's 1 in 17. And so coming to terms with these disparities and reversing them, I would argue, is not only a matter of fairness and justice but it's, I would argue, a matter of national security.""

    Keep wearing those crap colored glasses however.

    So ONE black man was responsible for slavery in America and you actually expect us to believe that.

    Well yes, it's a fact. Now if you want to cast blame on the blacks who captured and sold other blacks in Africa, well I suppose you'd have a point there too but Anthony Johnson created the market for slavery.

    Just as one white man was responsible for WW2, one black man was responsible for slavery in the British colonies that carried over to the newly formed United States of America.

    Would you like for me to link from a black heritage website or would they be uncle toms for stating truths?

    The biggest slave trader of all time is an Afro-Arab man named Tippu Tib, a native of Zanzibar, who led expeditions into Central Africa to trade in slaves for Zanzibar's clove plantations and also ivory.

    ArchStanton said:
    Anthony Johnson was responsible for slavery in North America. He was the first legal slave owner and he became the first slave owner while America was still under British rule. He was black too....but let's not talk about that since it doesn't fit the 'all whites are racist' narrative. Blacks started slavery, whites ended it.

    Arch is not telling you, superbadbrutha, whether Anthony Johnson enslaved these people or entered them of their own free rule into economic servitude, which was not slavery. No one knows the answer to that, so you can discount Arch's statement.

    Well, no, it is not a fact, Arch, and you know that.
