What were they considered by black slave owners in the nation of Africa who sold them to anyone willing to pay? Were they one half a human? One third? One quarter? Did black slave owners consider their slaves to be humans at all?
Black individuals do not even treat other black individuals as citizens, much less human beings. Why should they receive any greater level of consideration from anyone else, when they cannot stop murdering one another with reckless abandonment?
I like the song a lot: But it seems to be written for a trained or natural vocalist like Whitney Houston et al. imo most people couldn't sing it very well. I could sing this one, and I like it a lot, too, except I'm not quite good enough to sing the solos:
exactly. So stop acknowledging race. Race should never be mentioned, ever. No more than hair color or eye color. Stop teaching black history, white history, and whatever other histories about race except that it was a label we used when we were more tribal and primitive. We are all just humans and Americans. Eventually one day we will even be able to get rid of the label of American and just be human, but I don’t think we’ve advanced to that point yet, thanks mostly to ******* politicians and global elites that try to keep the world as divided as possible. But we can take this step and eliminate the idea of race. It is opportunistic politicians that won’t let the idea of race go, and they use race identity as a weapon to keep us as divided as possible.
Why was there a civil rights movement back in the 1960s? Why did MLK have to be the leader of that movement? Why was there a redlining policy in USA for 40 or 50 yrs, legally. And then covertly after it was made illegal?
It means the freedom the country gained and the reason for writing the NA, didn't pertain the the black people that were not free and were owned by white people. Why does that need to be explained?
My philosophy it to treat all people equally. Sorry you feel that's divisive. But I don't view that as divisive. I seen quotes of tRUMPs speech. He wants to make his campaign about idolizing traitors of the USA. Those that went to war so they could continue to own black people. That's a divisive message he is banking his campaign on. You are one who supports tRUMP. Therefore it's not my equality philosophy that's divisive. Is it?
Did I say it. If not, then I don't think that. Just stay with what is written. Not what you think is written. But I do think blacks were not part of the freedom the country gained after the Revolutionary war. Black people being slaves and property is not freedom, is it?
Maybe the traitors from the south should remove the traitor statues that represent the people who started a war so they could own the ancestors of the BLM. Would that not be better? Make blacks part of the country instead of idolizing those that wanted to continue to own them?
Tell that to tRUMP. He is angry that the people who had ancestors owned by white southern traitors have statues idolizing them. He devoted a lot of the speech talking about how he wants those traitors statues to still stand.
And the biggest Confederate monument of all, the democrat party, should be removed. All dems in office should step down immediately.
LOL. Such drama. But it's tRUMP trying to rally his base to keep idolizing the traitors to the USA. Those that started a civil war against the USA for the right to continue to own black people. It's not the dems trying to keep racial divide strong.
Maybe because 1) Most of them do treat others fine and 2) Rights aren't based on what you think on what you think of others who share the same race as the subject in question. That's not how rights work . . . otherwise they aren't actually rights.
How is that any worse than what the rioters are doing? Both sides are acknowledging race, deepening the divide. People need to stop looking to politicians for leadership and look into their own souls. That’s where the answers are.
No, there is no way to go. The way to go is to ignore race. Ignore the history of what blacks went through, because it doesn’t matter. What matters is how we treat each other now. The past is the past and it needs to stay there.
