    Wow that's the best you've got. That analogy is about as good as saying, "if I wouldn't have bought those jewels if somebody else hadn't stolen them.

    Come on dude that's weak.

    You can't make this crap up folks and you try and tell black folks racism is a thing of the past.

    I'll be voting Libertarian again, but I don't think you understand what the word "arbitrary" means. If you think that the distinction between a KKK member and a former KKK member who quit, renounced the organization, and turned his life around to pushing for civil rights is an arbitrary one, then maybe invest in a dictionary.

    You and others claimed they all switched to the Republican party, I have shown how laughable false is that assertion and you keep dodging.

    Of the 21 Southern Democrat Senators who voted against be CRA and VRA how many were in this rush to switch to Republicans? How many switched parties? How many stayed retaining their leadership positions and were re-elected as Democrats?

    LOLibertarian - o_O - and you may not understand what the word "understand" means. If you think that the meaningless/arbitrary distinction between butchering sociopaths like Lincoln, Sherman and Grant (for instance) as *good* and confederate dirt farmers as *bad* is meaningful, then maybe invest in a course in basic logic. :)

    The point remains the same. The nation of Africa practiced slavery long before white settlers journeying to what would become the united states ever entered the picture. It was literally black individuals treating their fellow black individuals as having no worth, and like they were not even their fellow human beings.

    If your ancestors were truly slaves in the united states, there is the very real possibility they were betrayed by their own family to get rid of them. Meaning your family line would have been hated across two continents. Not just by those who did not know them, but also by those who did know them.

    Andrew Jackson was nothing more than just one more individual, no more or less noteworthy, than countless millions of other individuals involved in an industry that has existed since the beginning of human existence.

    Are you actually trying to say the racists are not currently in the Republican party.

    Or are you arguing that because some of them are in of the organisations for racist psychotics, that invalidates the assertion that racists went Republican.

    That's a microscopic fig leaf..

    One last thing, as I have said repeatedly, that this took time doesn't change anything. It's the way American politics works.

    Assuming, of course, this conversation hasn't left the real world. I'm guess you simply cannot respond to my points, because any relevant response forces you out of your fantasy.

    Of course, two wrongs make a right.

    We still need to clean up the mess.

    We don't know if any of that is true for the simple fact we were cut off from our history and we have been told His-Story. Quoting from PE, once we were brought here we were robbed of our language, robbed of our names, we lost our religion, our culture, our God and many of us by the way we act we even lost our minds. Now here you come trying to tell black folks it is our fault we came here as slaves. Smfh.

    You and others claimed they all switched to the Republican party...false. Are you actually trying to claim there are no racist in the Democrat party, the Socialist party, the Workers party or any other party.

    The time it took was for the segregationist Democrats to finally retire or die and as the younger generations came up and replaced them and kicked out the Democrats whom we had witnessed support segregation and discrimination.

    The only alternative available is the notion that those who were traveling to what would become the united states, made the decision to make a detour to the nation of Africa, rather than any other nation that was along the way on the journey, for the express purpose of going into unfamiliar, unexplored jungles to hunt down black individuals like animals, for the purpose of taking them along for the journey. An impossible premise, such the ships would never have enough provisions for such a course of actions.

    The only reason for the black community to deny the facts and claim otherwise, is because admitting to such would destroy the victim narrative at all levels. They would be forced to acknowledge that their own families did not care for them, and their culture is nothing but one of violence and suffering, indistinguishable from other countless cultures that are considered backwards when view through the lens of modern standards. The culture of the nation of Africa is one soaked in blood from tribes slaughtering and pillaging other tribes. One would be hard pressed to take pride in such a heritage if they were to learn they descended from someone who took part in the wholesale murder of an entire region of people, regardless of what the reasoning for the slaughter might be.

    Will the descendants of those who took part in the Rwanda Genocide look back on their ancestors with a sense of pride for knowing where they came from? Or will they instead wish they never found out about such a heritage being attached to their name?

    I didn't like that post.

    So I spent about 20 minutes writing a better one. There is a wacko 15 minute edit limit, and all that work got blown straight to hell.

    F*** it.

    If you don't believe there are racist in every party I got a bridge to sell you.

    That was what my post got into.

    The important stuff is the policy.
