    Is this guy really serious?

    I mean just when you think you can't hear anything more asinine here comes fool like this.

    This assclown should resign immediately and never be heard from again.

    Unbelievable.

    Much as I think this whole thread has already veered off into the Twilight Zone in record time, let's run with it. For instance, mathematically that gives you a much better chance at survival here than there, so you actually made his point for him.

    Or put it this way: Where would you rather have been born: Here - or in Uganda?

    315 Years. 20,528 Voyages. Millions of Lives.

    It's sad that mankind can be so cruel to his fellow brothers and cousins...

    Slave trade between the African continent from mostly Muslim Arab slave traders and the Western hemisphere and some parts of Europe and to Iceland.

    Many European indentured servants came west too from Ireland, England, etc.

    There's a difference between slavery and indentured servitude.

    This animation depicts a different narrative than modern progressive textbooks.

    That's easy to say for black folks living in America today, but those who came in the holes of ships in chains would probably disagree with you. The whole concept of you have it better today is asinine.

    Slaves? That is about right. Libs love cheap products hence they love "immigrant slaves".

    That's like saying Jews should thank hitler for his role in the creation of Israel

    It's not really saying anything when whites make up 78% of the population but black men make up only 6% of the population.

    Now that you mention it World War II was very profitable for the Jewish people. They gained alot of money and power from it and as you pointed out a cool brand new shiny state of Their own.

    I'm sure you already know how well Soulja Boy's comment about the slavemasters getting a shout-out flew. Kinda like a lead balloon.

    Nevertheless, you didn't answer the question: Where would you rather have been born - here, or Uganda?

    First of all, he did say that they were an another type of immigrant and did not ignore the fact that they came over on the bottom of slave boats, which paints an appropriate image of their status.

    What's wrong with saying they had dreams about the future? Isn't that part of being human?

    The idea that we are all descendants of immigrants (including the descendants of slaves) has been a part of American politics since at least FDR.

    In his book, A Nation of Immigrants, JFK treated slaves as immigrants.

    I believe your opinion is colored by your dislike of Trump and your view that Dr. Carson is an "uncle Tom" for being part of Trump's administration.

    Lighten up and laugh with Mohammad Ali's , "I'm glad my daddy got on the boat."

    Dr. Carson gives a speech to employees at HUD and they betray him by running to the press, who put a negative spin on it.

    I have read that Carson is a good surgeon - my theory is that he inhaled too much anesthesia and has suffered brain damage. He has said :"Joseph built the pyramids to store grain".
    I don't know if he knows that while there are some spaces inside the pyramids, they are far from hollow.
    I don't think Carson could pass a sanity hearing.
    I don't understand why any non-caucasian male would even consider being GOP - the GOP is not for you. I don't understand any woman being in the GOP either, but then Charles Manson, Jim Jones, and other similar nutcases had their followers.

    The Black slave population in the United States grew faster than any nation in Europe at the time, even twice as fast as England.

    Sleep sound tonight knowing since you are white it will be unlikely you will be killed by a black person.. Around 80% of white victims of murder were killed by another white person. Pretty much the same for blacks, will more likely be killed by another black person.

    Seems groups within our society still like to stick to our own even when crime is involved.

    While worded strangely this is a common view among "conservatives." That slavery and all it entailed was just like a job and that Black people should be more thankful for the "opportunity" to "immigrate" to this country given to their ancestors by their slave masters.

    It is a rather sick view of history.

    Of course. They did not immigrate under force.

    Immigrate - come to live permanently in a foreign country.

    English not your first language?

    I love America. I'm not sitting here whining and complaining about it.

    I'm happy just where I'm at. And if I weren't happy here I would move to where I would be happier.

    Someone should have asked him if they carried the grain that was stored in the pyramids as well.

    I love America also, that is why I served to keep her free. I missed where I am whining and complaining, I guess I need to be like Carson and claim that slaves were immigrants then I would be a good one in your eyes. Sorry that is not going to happen.

    How do you know you wouldn't be happier in Siberia.

    Did they immigrate or were they forced to come here?

    Awesome!

    That means you're grateful that your ancestors immigrated to this wonderful country.

    Muslims are referred to as immigrants and they still practice slavery.

    SBB, how long is the black community going to complain about something that happened a long time ago, ended a long time ago and doesn't impact any Americans today? How many blacks wouldn't even be here today had it not been for slavery?
