Arkansas GOP State Rep Thinks Slavery Was Blessing in Disguise for Blacks

[SniperFire]

I sent this statement over to my friends at the U who will use it in their class as an example of Tea Party and libertarian 'scholarly' thinking.

You have black friends? And they say slavery was a "blessing"????

If it wasn't for slavery, they would be back in Africa suffering from HIV, living in abject squalor and probably dying before they are 40 years old. Check out the lifestyle of Obama's half brother if you want to understand the joys of living in Africa.

Your butthurt recoil at the truth in the statement is not a rebuttal of the facts, Jake.

 

[JakeStarkey]

You are the one who loves the butt hurt, so let it flow through you, once you get back to you male customers.

The lack of truth in your statement is the point. Your statement is self defeating.

 

[zeke]

It is really to bad snipper that you are not from a family that had been held in slavery.

Then again. Maybe you are.

But what could be worse than being a slave? How about being the slave holder. And a great number of you must be from slave holding backgrounds. Why else would you try so hard to justify the inhumane, cruel treatment that slaves went through? Except to salve your own conscience.

Kinda like the rapist that says; she really wanted it, I know she did. It was good for her, I could tell.

Just like saying that slavery was good for the slaves.

Stupid fuks you rethugs are. Stupid.

Your butthurt clouds your ability to use reason and logic.

The clumsy point made by the politician addresses the wellbeing of people TODAY.

Is the American African-American better off than a native Rawanda African, or not?

 

[JakeStarkey]

SniperFire has taken a break from serving the male customers to let the butt hurt abide.

The conscience of the defender of the inane and insane legislator is morally defective.

No other sane way to describe the SniperFires here.

She likes to call it "affirmative friendship." The fact that her friend would day that the slavery of generations past was a blessing just goes to show that he is an idiot. Since he was not alive then, and was not a slave himself, he cannot speak such a thing in the first place.

You're deliberately misconstruing the argument, moron. No one says it was a benefit to the people who were actually enslaved. However, it was a benefit to their descendents because they were born in America as a result.

Turds like you are just too fucking stupid to assemble a cogent argument.

What's next? Should we start saying that the Holocaust was a blessing for the Jewish people?

That would be about as rational as claiming you're intelligent.

The children and grandchildren of slaves were not given the American dream. They were offered second class citizenship and offered menial jobs.

To try to offer the "You were better than a Jungle Bunny" argument is offensive

Friend of mine said something similar... and he's black, and descended from slaves. Go figure.

A remarkably ignorant and idiotic statement, however unsurprising given the poster.

The condition of Africa today is the consequence of centuries of colonial exploitation, including slavery.

That anyone would attempt to justify or mitigate the crime of slavery is reprehensible.

You have not refuted the point.

This is another example of right wing Whites telling Blacks what is good for them because they are not intelligent enough to figure it out for themselves.

Again, in lieu of logic and reason, you lash out with blind butthurt.


LOL

African blacks sold their own people into slavery.

In fact, they hold all the records for selling people into slavery.

 

[JakeStarkey]

You continue to have no point, merely continue to service your customers front and aft, allowing the butt hurt to flow.

How am I "pimping for big government?"

It's only "offensive" to liberal morons who would never admit the truth if it conflicted with their agenda. Today few blacks are doing menial jobs. Even if they were, they would still be far better off than 95% of blacks living in Africa. They don't have to worry about dying from Malaria or a thousand other diseases. They have television, air conditioning, clean running water, good medical and dental care, cars, decent homes and a thousand other things that blacks in Africa only dream about.

Anyone who says they are not better off is simply a sleazy dishonest propagandist.

That's horseshit commie propaganda. Africans were better off as a result of colonialism. furthermore, the Colonial powers have been gone for over 50 years, and the condition of African states has grown worse, not better. The example of Zimbabwe provides a valid object lesson in causes of the problems of black Africa. When the whites ruled it, Rhodesia was a food exporter. Now it imports food and many of the people living there are starving. South Africa is headed down the same road.

No one is justifying slavery. That's just a leftist con. The facts are the facts. Pretending they don't exist doesn't make you morally superior in any way. It makes you an idiot.

Do they? Could you provide us with a cite to those "records"? What you fail to mention regarding African vs. American slavery is the racial component that was added to the system in the Americas. In the past one became a slave as the result of war, debt or criminality. In America, even when manumitted, the ex-slave was not the equal of other citizens, a situation that we're seeing the effects of to this day.

They DID? No. They are still doing it. It's not like Africans stopped selling people into slavery.

That's pure horse shit. North African Arabs were enslaving whites for a thousand years. Why do you think Thomas Jefferson sent ships and U.S. marines to fight on the shores of Tripoli? To this day, Arabs are enslaving blacks.

The treatment of white galley slaves was even worse than the treatment of black slaves picking cotton. But there are no movies or television dramas about it comparable to Roots, and our schools and colleges don't pound it into the heads of students.

Everything liberals believe is a big fat lie.

The fallacy of your "Jungle Bunny" argument is you neglect the obvious alternative of what would be the economic position of blacks today if Africans were given the option to immigrate to the US on their own initiative, be paid a fair wage and receive free land

You know....like whites were

 

[Wry Catcher]

I've heard some blacks say the same thing. Damn racists.

Yeah im going to guess they meant it a different way than blaming the decline of our education system...just a hunch.

Well, that is a different matter. Here's what was said:

“… one of the stated purposes of school integration was to bring black students up to a level close to that of white students. But, to the great disappointment of everyone, the results of this theory worked exactly in reverse of its intended purpose, and instead of black students rising to the educational levels previously attained by white students, the white students dropped to the level of black students. To make matters worse the lack of discipline and ambition of black students soon became shared by their white classmates, and our educational system has been in a steady decline ever since.”

Decades of data shows he is correct. Personally, I place the blame squarely on the government for destroying the black family unit and lowering educational standards for everyone.

It's always helpful to point fingers and blame others.
