    You have no clue. Cotton was not grown in Normandy.

    You need to enhance your, reading comprehension, since I never once said cotton was grown Normandy.

    What can you admit to saying about Cotton? Why divert a topic or derail one by bring up cotton, as you clearly did?

    Please sir, do show me which post here explains how you get to, dictate, what racial-questions that I ask a Dem candidate? ... Most notably since "cotton-picking" is still the largest racial issue in USA, history, since we've yet to repay Black citizens what they are owed for their ancestors making America great on their backs as beasts of burden.

    I heard that people from southern Italy have a touch of African DNA too. Theirs comes from Hannibal and his army occupying southern Italy for several years a long, long time ago.

    I went back to read that again. I am still smiling. Did you learn that in school or from Democrats?

    Cool.

    IMHO the part from 1:28 - 2:28 is the most, eerie, in terms of the likelihood of his comedy showcase eventually becoming real life.

    Well, then, let's just say that you can go learn about that Cotton in >here< so then you can better comprehend true American life.

    Such as, truth about why America would have never been able to brag about a historical 'Normandy' event, if it wasn't for Black slaves making this country so great and so envied by the World during the years leading up to Normandy.

    Here are just a few more results, of what that cottonpicking skillset, hath unfortunately earned Black citizens:

    You painted a smile on slavery by bragging about the "good" they did for America.

    I can almost win a lot of money off asking Democrats, how many of you chopped Cotton?

    I chopped cotton in CA during the good weather of 1949. I was living in tents on a cotton farm then. Was that as good as what the slaves did? I was paid as a child. I think we got .35 cents per hour.

    I picked cotton and cut grapes in California as a child. Working in the fields is hard, but I would never, ever compare it to slavery.
    1) Nobody whipped me if I failed to meet a certain quota.
    2) I wasn't owned by anybody.
    3) I was free to go home anytime I wanted to.

    My school year ended as I lived in the Valley of CA so Mom picked me up and moved me back to the SF Bay area ahead of the cotton picking of the crop. In high school, I worked cutting grapes in the Livermore, CA area and realized I was not cut out to cut grapes to earn much money.

    I saw where slaves lived in VA and frankly they had decent shelter, food on the table, clothing to wear and a good many actually were fond of the family they lived with. A good many of them adopted the family name as well.

    Slaves actually for the most part in America were born here. Early on slaves on ships were imported in the north east of this country. But most slaves from Africa ended up in the Caribbean. I do not see all the whining over those slaves for some reason i do not know.

    As a child in the 5th grade, I had to learn how to sharpen the special hoe used to chop cotton. Those field workers have a lot to learn to pick cotton or cut grapes in order to actually earn a living. My uncle has his kids on the same farm doing what I had to do. So for him and my aunt, we kids were a profit center for them.

    Note the different profile of the blade compared to other hoes.

    I believe too much focus is placed on whipping. We all realize that slaved did get whipped. But do you whip your dogs? Dogs can be difficult to control. but do you then whip the dog? It takes a particular type of person to whip human. I do not see the bulk of plantation owners all that willing to whip humans. If you whipped one slave, the lesson probably sunk into the rest of the slaves not to do this or that. Home was on the plantation for slaves. When they were freed, they truly did suffer a lot. They had to relocate. They had to seek a paying job. They did not have government welfare to use to support their lives. A lot of people think former slaves by being free at last were free and happy. A huge number of them perished lacking the base they had as slaves.

    By the way, research has upped the combat deaths in the violent civil war from 630,000 to 750,000

    I do not read on forum pages the horror imposed on this nation when Abe Lincoln chose to invade the South with his Army.

    Sumter suffered no combat losses. But Manassas was the start of the Abe suffering campaign. To free some, others ought not be killed.

    Then vote "No" to Bonespur Trump. Coward. The guy who was so spineless, he waited for his mistress to publicly confront his first wife instead of having the balls to tell her in private himself.

    I will answer for the Dems, since they've been quite vocal about their positions regarding these things.

    All lives matter, but some lives matter more than others. (Sounds a lot like Orwell's book 'Animal Farm', doesn't it?? Think about THAT one for a second...)

    Yes, we should. Potentially even to all black people. We should make white people, even families who had nothing to do with slave ownership, pay for it.

    Nope. We support open borders and illegal immigrants flooding into the USA, since those are votes for us, and that is our best shot of turning the USA into a fascist Oligarchy where we are the ruling class.

    Nope. I painted a smile on, Black slaves, by reminding us privileged-Caucasians of what slaves lived through ---and still managed to make America great.
