Beck Blames Evils of Slavery On Government Regulation

[Ozmar]

Why do people get so worked up over Beck? He doesn't mean any of it. It;s all an act that makes him money. He told Forbes as much.

Then he should recite a disclaimer before he spews his garbage, something along the lines of "for entertainment purposes only."

Forbes isn't exactly obscure. Besides, if you can't tell the guy who ripped his show off of an SNL sketch might not be entirely ingenuous, you might be an idiot.

And I do believe you are.

If you think he's serious and don't realize he knows jack shit about history, you're an idiot.

I don't think he's serious, but I do think that a lot of people do take him seriously, and that he does practically nothing to dissuade them.
That's what makes him dangerous.

Beck is stark raving mad.

"And it started small, and it started with seemingly innocent ideas. And then a little court order here, and a court order there and a little regulation here and a little more regulation there. And before we knew it, America had slavery.

It didn’t come over in a ship to begin with, as an evil slave trade. The government began to regulate things because the people needed answers and needed solutions. It started in a court room then it went to the legislatures. That’s how slavery began. And it took a long time to enslave an entire race of people, and convince another race of people that they were somehow or another, less than them. But it can be done."

He is right on this one.

Yes, slavery totally started out with seemingly innocent ideas.

Y'all are fuckin' retarded.

I hope for piety's sake you are being sarcastic.

that's all I needed to see too. What were the innocent ideas that inspired the birth of slavery?

Anyone who at this point doesn't realize that Glenn Beck is a total fraud IS retarded.

Did you see the end of the rallies 8/28 and 10/2?

At the end of 8/28 there was no trash to be seen. These trailer trash people you talk so poorly about took it home with them and threw it away.
At the end of 10/2 there were signs, bottles, and any kind of garbage you can immagine everywhere. These fucks you support even left their trash on the WW2 memorial.

So who is trailor trash and whose a disgusting bunch of fucks that can't show enough respect for the land they walk on to put garbage in a bin?

And you still defend yourselves.

pfft

The left is filth and proud of it.

Why don't you go down to the Post Office and salute a flag?

How low can a "person" be to use saluting The Flag as an insult?

Are you also offended when you hear the Anthem?

Damn, what a heaping pile of garbage you are.

Hey fuck face, it's assholes who hide behind the flag who dishonor it. The flag is a symbol and it belongs to everyone.

Beck and his apologists on the innocence on Slavery's Roots in the American Colonies

He actually gave a small lesson on the origins of slavery in this country. It had a lot to do with court cases that sent precidents and alowed it to continue for so long, but the original poster would never talk about that. Its much to easy just to dismiss Beck instead of prove him wrong......

"And it started small, and it started with seemingly innocent ideas..." - Beck


The first English colony in North America, Virginia, first imported Africans in 1619, a practice earlier established in the Spanish colonies as early as the 1560s. - Dante/The Original Poster

I. Slavery's Early Presence

A. First African-Americans that arrived in Jamestown in 1619 were brought as servants, not slaves.

B. Very small numbers of slaves in the Southern colonies in the early years. By 1650, only 300 blacks lived in Virginia

C. Slavery formally established by the House of Burgesses in 1670 with law declaring "all servants not being Christians imported into this colony by shipping shall be slaves for their lives."

D. By 1700 there were 25,000 slaves in the American colonies and by 1750 there were 100,000 slaves in Virginia, far outnumbering indentured servants.

1. Breaking of the Royal African Co. monopoly in 1697 opened the slave trade to competition, forcing prices down and increasing the number of slaves.

Colonial Slavery

So in 1750, the House of Burgesses (way over in Merry Olde England) established in law all non Christians as slaves for life, and the Southern slave holders go innocently from over 300 slaves to 25,000 slaves in less than 30 years?

Wow! The innocence and blaming government argument just blows me away.
