    I think you are being racist and calling white people lazy. The vast majority of people in that era has no slaves and did the back breaking work themselves, yes. Get off your high horse, stop blaming others for your own shortcomings, and lets treat everyone of all races as equals.

    Kind of goofy looking mocha colored individual. Think of a walking fudgsicle without the stick handle.

    That shows you just how foolish the South was. If they had went along with Abraham Lincoln's program, they could have kept their slaves AND avoided the Civil War. When I first heard this I couldn't believe it.
    Somebody was giving Jefferson Davis bad advice. Then, Lincoln decided to free the slaves after all as a political tactic.

    The civil war was about more than just slavery. Slavery was a big part of it, but there was so much more.

    So what. His mother was white so if there were any advantages for declaring himself as the Easter Bunny don't you think he would have done it.

    not all white people are rich, rich privilege is something some of us do not have, both black and white

    we need to stop making this about race, poverty effects many in America

    we could start by raising the min wage

    And that's the same way you'd identify him to a police officer.

    INDEED!

    If white privilege actually existed blacks wouldn't be allowed to talk about it.

    The country is not divided along racial lines, but by education & wealth.

    Moriah you seem like an intelligent lady that has unfortunately succumbed to the liberal narrative but I am enjoying our conversation. Earlier you recommend three books. I'd like to sincerely recommend just one to you. It has no agenda and is simply a well researched biography that really gives insite into the antebellum period and the causes of the civil war. I recently read it and came away with a real understanding of that brutal but interesting era.

    Obama was a great President. I miss him. We sure need him right now during this pandemic and social unrest in the cities. We need a compassionate, intelligent man in the White House.

    Nope, he/she would thank me for the detailed description. Beats the old they all look alike description.

    some black people hate white people cause they are white

    some white people hate black people cause they are black

    some only want to help their own race

    some want to raise everyone up regardless of race

    Absolutely. He identified as black knowing that would give him a leg up in the election.

    Thank you for the recommendation. I will put it on my reading list.
    And thank you for the compliment. It's kind of you to say I seem intelligent.
    You seem to be intelligent also. :handshake:

    Obama set a bad example by condoning this kind of crap with the occupy protesters. I'm sure you won't hear a peep out of him.

    It wasn't meant as a backhanded compliment so don't take it that way. Have a good evening.
