IF the government apologized for racism, it would be doing so partly in my name. That would do me damage. Your claim that it has nothing to do with me is pure horseshit. The government the current generation elected did nothing wrong, and neither did the people who elected it. Those who want it to apologize can go to hell.Well which one is it because you're giving yourself WAY too much credit.No. Your point? If my government apologized for racism, then it would be doing so in my name. Anyone who supports that can go fuck himself.Are you your government?Why should my government "apoligize" for racial hatred when I had nothing to do with it?How did our government atone for 181 years of racial hatred? When did it apologize and what specifically has it done to atone for it's sins, because some of the civil rights legislation is still pretty wobbly.The fact that its in there at all tells me the government endorsed slavery, therefore America was and still is a racist nation.
Guilt by association.
Your argument is invalid.
You completely ignored the fact that the government reformed itself, it admitted its sins and atoned for them, you seemingly are devoid of forgiveness.
On one hand you all state that you're not racist, you never had slaves nor did your ancestors therefore you have nothing to apologize for. Fine, but our government was and did. They are the entitiy that did the damage and allowed damage to be done by others therefore they are the correct entity to make amends and apologize.
The apology is for the wrong done and allowed by them, it has nothing to do with you and honestly there is nothing you can do about it. Except leave I guess.
"Why do you imagine the Founding Fathers were supposed to perform this miracle?"Slavery existed in every country in the world then. Why do you imagine the Founding Fathers were supposed to perform this miracle?It was critical to end slavery when the founding racists punted on taking action. If they had done their job at that time we most likely would not be dealing with a racist america today.Imagine the Confederate States holding more sway over the government at a time in American history when it was critical for slavery to be ended?
What a token response from you.
The problem with you leftwing douchebags is that you place absurd standards on the Founding Fathers. Everyone else gets a pass.
You're mistaken if you believe ending slavery was their job.
No one asked your insignificant inbred ass to care. Stop whining about the traitor statues bitch. That shit was long ago and they got their asses kicked.Then don't get over it, but don't expect me to give a flying fuck about your crying. I whine about confederate statues because you and your douchebag friends are tearing them down. This happened yesterday, not 160 years ago.I'll get over when I say its time to get over it. Youre still whining about confederate traitor statues so dont be a hypocrite.After you've been bleating for 160 years, it's time to get over it. You're mistaken if you believe a majority of American support all this looting and riot.it may not be relevant to you but you dont count for shit anywhere.That was 160 years ago. It's no longer relevant.I never said anything about the concepts being racist because those concepts came from the Iroquois nation. The institution was hypocritical and racist. If it wasnt why were Black people only 3/5 of a human and had no rights that were to be respected by whites? Remember this?The institution and concepts America was founded on are not racist, but keep convincing yourself that I said something I didn't say.Sure. I'll point it out.Once again, you fail to point out how I am backpedaling.Yes you are back pedaling. Just calling it to your attention.No I'm not." far less racist "Racism did not end on any of those dates.You show us the date that racism actually ended in America and peer reviewed evidence of it's elimination.Actually we have disproved every claim you have made. You're dreadfully ignorant.
I would LOOOOVE to see that.

Want more?
I can give you more. Or you can bow out. Gracefully.
Lincoln signed words on a piece of paper but were those words actually honored?
Not really.
At the time of "emancipation" 80 percent of Americas GNP was tied to slavery. America, not just the south. Blacks got none of the money. In January of 1865, Special Field Order 15 was issued. Special Field Orders No. 15 - Wikipedia In July 1865, Circular 13, Resource Sheet #7 was issued by General Howard which fully authorized the lease of 40 acres of land to the newly freed slaves. As a result of this action 40,000 former slaves began work on several hundred thousand acres of land.
President Andrew Johnson killed that by his doing so removed those 40,000 blacks off that land and destroyed any income they could make. Meanwhile Johnson advocated for the homestead act and wanted to take plantation land and distribute it to whites without money.
Johnson pardoned most of the confederate leaders and they regained their prior positions of state leadership. By doing this, Johnson unleashed a reign of terror on blacks that really was nothing short of attempted ethnic cleansing. Blacks were beaten, scalped, killed, set on fire with their bodies left in the streets to rot.
A representative from the Johnson administration traveled the south and reported seeing black women scalped, or had their ears cut off, thrown into rivers and drowned. Black men and boys were clubbed, beaten, shot, some chained on trees and burned to death. State to state this man witnessed the stench of dead decomposing black bodies hanging from tree limbs, lying in ditches, and piled up on the roadways.
But blacks were free, right?
Three months after Sherman issued his Field Orders, No. 15, the U.S. Congress created the Freedmen's Bureau for the purpose of ensuring the welfare of millions of slaves being freed by the war.
One task of the Freedmen's Bureau was to be the management of lands confiscated from those who had rebelled against the United States. The intent of Congress, led by the Radical Republicans, was to break up the plantations and redistribute the land so former slaves could have their own small farms.
Andrew Johnson became president following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln in April 1865. And Johnson, on May 28, 1865, issued a proclamation of pardon and amnesty to citizens in the South who would take an oath of allegiance.
As part of the pardon process, lands confiscated during the war would be returned to white landowners. So while the Radical Republicans had fully intended for there to be a massive redistribution of land from former slave owners to former slaves under Reconstruction, Johnson's policy effectively thwarted that.
And by late 1865 the policy of granting the coastal lands in Georgia to freed slaves had run into serious roadblocks. An article in the New York Times on December 20, 1865 described the situation: the former owners of the land were demanding its return, and the policy of President Andrew Johnson was to give the land back to them.
It has been estimated that approximately 40,000 former slaves received grants of land under Sherman's order. But the land was taken away from them.
Sharecropping Became the Reality for Freed Slaves
Denied the opportunity to own their own small farms, most former slaves were forced to live under the system of sharecropping.
Life as a sharecropper generally meant living in poverty. And sharecropping would have been a bitter disappointment to people who once believed they could become independent farmers.
Sharecropping was a system of agriculture instituted in the American South during the period of Reconstruction after the Civil War. It essentially replaced the plantation system which had relied on slave labor and effectively created a new system of bondage.
Under the system of sharecropping, a poor farmer who did not own land would work a plot belonging to a landowner. The farmer would receive a share of the harvest as payment.
So while the former slave was technically free, he would still find himself bound to the land, which was often the very same land he had farmed while enslaved. And in practice, the newly freed slave faced a life of extremely limited economic opportunity.
Generally speaking, sharecropping doomed freed slaves to a life of poverty. And the system of sharecropping, in actual practice, doomed generations of American in the South to an impoverished existence in an economically stunted region.
Beginning of the Sharecropping System
Following the elimination of slavery, the plantation system in the South could no longer exist. Landowners, such as cotton planters who had owned vast plantations, had to face a new economic reality. They may have owned vast amounts of land, but they did not have the labor to work it, and they did not have the money to hire farm workers.
The millions of freed slaves also had to face a new way of life. Though freed from bondage, they had to cope with numerous problems in the post-slavery economy.
Many freed slaves were illiterate, and all they knew was farm work. And they were unfamiliar with the concept of working for wages.
Indeed, with freedom, many former slaves aspired to become independent farmers owning land. And such aspirations were fueled by rumors that the U.S. government would help them get a start as farmers with a promise of "forty acres and a mule."
In reality, former slaves were seldom able to establish themselves as independent farmers. And as plantation owners broke up their estates into smaller farms, many former slaves became sharecroppers on the land of their former masters.
Yeah, figures you aren't satisfied. Look at you living your past as if it were your present. Time to snap back to reality pal. You need to understand America is a far less racist country than you think it is.
That wasnt your original claim. Now youre back pedaling.
You are putting words in my mouth. Again. Like I said even OldLady got what I was trying to say. You are too dense to get that.
You absolutely 100 percent cannot be helped.
You said to never tell you that america is racist. Then you said....
"America is a far less racist"
Youre back pedaling from your original position and its ok. You looked like a fool for saying it in the first place.
"[African Americans] had for more than a century before been regarded as beings of an inferior order, and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations; and so far inferior, that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect; and that the negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit. He was bought and sold, and treated as an ordinary article of merchandise and traffic, whenever a profit could be made by it."
- Roger Taney
Those are the most damming words uttered in the history of this country and direct contradiction to your bullshit narrative.
You dont have a clue what would have happened. Your ignorant ass isnt a postdictionist. You can barely tie your fucking shoes.Tough shit. I could give a flying fuck about the constitution being ratified.
Then no equality for you. Ever.
That would be the consequence of the Constitution never being ratified.
You possess such total, complete ignorance of the ramifications of what you say.
Go retake a civics class and tell me if it would have been possible to ratify the Constitution with a ban on slavery and racism.
You either value the constitution, or you are so entrenched in your argument that it isn't valuable to you--just convenient.
I dont expect anyone to sympathize with me. At least not some pale recessive racist. White women sympathize with us alot.If you're going to do something you do it right. Don't bullshit me with flowery words and expect me to feel like you're an honorable person.
Go on, just show us how unreasonable you can be. Don't expect anyone to sympathize with you or your cause afterward.
I just did explain it. Youre a miscreant.In other words, you can't explain it.You specifically being yourself is what makes you a miscreant.Pointing out irrationality makes you a "miscreant?"Thanks for your commitment to remaining a miscreant.Thanks for demonstrating your inability to commit logic." Sorry, but being intelligent does not make you correct. "Sorry but if you dont mind I think I will go with the more intelligent person on this one.All intelligent people agree. Racism is americas greatest disease and its a disease of the white man.Actually they were. That's why the 3/5's compromise was written in the constitution.The institution and concepts America was founded on are not racist, but keep convincing yourself that I said something I didn't say.Sure.

Lol. "Disease of the white man."
Only idiots like you think it is purely confined to white people.
Einstein should have stuck to physics. Being unaware that racism was practiced by many races and many civilizations of the past. Not just white men and white civilization.
Sorry, but being intelligent does not make you correct.
By that token being a idiot like you means youre always wrong.
Total baloney and ridiculous propaganda, brainwashed functional moron. I know you love that. Jews vote for Democrats at about a 80% rate and what Democrats think about right-wing assholes in Israel has nothing to do about how they feel about Jews. Netanyahu is scum and so was sharon. Democrats are not racists or at least they are trying not to be.Like Democrats do to Jews? Got it.Brainwashed conservatives don't even know what racist means anymore. It means you believe a race is inferior and discriminate against them. Like many Republicans and of course all the militias and white supremacists. and the people that are very polite about it but just won't hire minorities..... It does not mean you hate whites because you think they are racist.....My guess is that are far more racist blacks than there are whites today.Never tell me America is racist.
Do you see how many white people are protesting with you? Do you see how many white cops are showing solidarity with you?
NEVER tell me America is racist.
Ask any black person who lived during the civil rights era. They didn't have white support, if they did, it was minimal support at most. They did not have a broad coalition of support you do now in the 1950s and '60s.
Not only do you have the support of hundreds of millions of white people all across America, but the WHOLE WORLD has also come to stand behind you. I will stand behind you.
But never tell me America is racist.
You offended me with that post. I feel hurt like the Holocaust all over again. I am going into my safe space now.Total baloney and ridiculous propaganda, brainwashed functional moron.

If racism is still in practice in the United States in violation of the laws that prohibit it, then it is patently false to claim that America is not racist, no matter how ardently you might wish otherwise.It has. The African American in my day an age only has to deal with the remnants of racism, not the actual apparatus you had to endure.
I said over and over in this thread that racism is still a practice in America, but it isn't a predominant practice. It is a fringe practice that will get you excommunicated from society with all due haste and speed. Therefore I contend, America is not racist.
You dont have a clue what would have happened. Your ignorant ass isnt a postdictionist. You can barely tie your fucking shoes.
My whole point is and always will be is that when the US wants to get something done it gets it done. When it comes to repaying for its fuckups with Black people we gotta wait. That is the primary reason I know for a fact the country is racist.If racism is still in practice in the United States in violation of the laws that prohibit it, then it is patently false to claim that America is not racist, no matter how ardently you might wish otherwise.It has.

No one has denied that strides have been made to attempt to abolish the racism in society but it's a huge task and if you think of our society as being represented by a scale such as the scales that Lady Justice holds up, in which each side needs the right amount of weight to be perfectly balanced, those efforts have barely been enough to get the side representing racism up off of the table let alone fully offsetting the weight on the opposite side.
Or if you don't understand that analogy, think of a glass full of water dyed red with drops of food coloring. The red represents racism. If you add a drop of bleach to the glass, the red color may lighten. As you add additional drops it will begin to lighten eventually. If you add enough drops you can eventually cause the red dye to be completely bleached out, and the glass will then contain clear liquid, the red dye no longer discernable.
What you keep referring to as the United States' effort to end racism is comparable to the point at which several drops of bleach are being added to the glass. As long as that glass has any red in it, racism still exists
and until the color turns pink and begins fading to clear can it be said that the U.S. has made major strides in conquering it's racism problem.
If racism is still in practice in the United States in violation of the laws that prohibit it, then it is patently false to claim that America is not racist, no matter how ardently you might wish otherwise.
He never had credibility to begin with. He does use sissy emojis as he is a prancing Nancy boy.You dont have a clue what would have happened. Your ignorant ass isnt a postdictionist. You can barely tie your fucking shoes.
You have no credibility left. You deal in grief but not in solutions.
And before you call me a postdictionist, make sure you know what the word means.
I'm not making predictions of the past, which postdiction is. I am going off of what the founders did and did not discuss at the Philadelphia Convention, which you clearly did no research on. That is called extrapolation, not postdiction.
(Read a fucking dictionary, will you please)
LMAO!!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha aha ha ha ha. Now that is a funny post. You’re a comedian. I get it now. This is a satirical account. My bad. I used to take you seriously.

That is the primary reason I know for a fact the country is racist.If racism is still in practice in the United States in violation of the laws that prohibit it, then it is patently false to claim that America is not racist, no matter how ardently you might wish otherwise.It has. The African American in my day an age only has to deal with the remnants of racism, not the actual apparatus you had to endure.
I said over and over in this thread that racism is still a practice in America, but it isn't a predominant practice. It is a fringe practice that will get you excommunicated from society with all due haste and speed. Therefore I contend, America is not racist.
No one has denied that strides have been made to attempt to abolish the racism in society but it's a huge task and if you think of our society as being represented by a scale such as the scales that Lady Justice holds up, in which each side needs the right amount of weight to be perfectly balanced, those efforts have barely been enough to get the side representing racism up off of the table let alone fully offsetting the weight on the opposite side.
Or if you don't understand that analogy, think of a glass full of water dyed red with drops of food coloring. The red represents racism. If you add a drop of bleach to the glass, the red color may lighten. As you add additional drops it will begin to lighten eventually. If you add enough drops you can eventually cause the red dye to be completely bleached out, and the glass will then contain clear liquid, the red dye no longer discernable.
What you keep referring to as the United States' effort to end racism is comparable to the point at which several drops of bleach are being added to the glass. As long as that glass has any red in it, racism still exists
and until the color turns pink and begins fading to clear can it be said that the U.S. has made major strides in conquering it's racism problem.
You will support the cause or get rolled over. Nobody has asked for your sympathy.
You are making predictions of the past dummy. You just said I wouldnt have my freedom. You actually predicted the past twice.You dont have a clue what would have happened. Your ignorant ass isnt a postdictionist. You can barely tie your fucking shoes.
You have no credibility left. You deal in grief but not in solutions.
And before you call me a postdictionist, make sure you know what the word means.
I'm not making predictions of the past, which postdiction is. I am going off of what the founders did and did not discuss at the Philadelphia Convention, which you clearly did no research on. That is called extrapolation, not postdiction.

I'm not ignoring it, you'd just not making any sense probably because you won't state which document you were referring to and whether you believe the initial interpretation was correct or incorrect assuming you're refering to "all men are created equal".You proved no such thing because it's indisputable that the document didn't change (as if I didn't already know this).
I know it didn't. As I said earlier, the interpretation of it did.
Why do you keep ignoring that?
Then you will get your ass ran over like roadkill. We aint asking.You will support the cause or get rolled over. Nobody has asked for your sympathy.
Oh look at you issuing threats? I would rather die than support your twisted cause, old man.
