Our forgotten slavery horror

[Sallow]

It's 2016.

Maybe we could start acting like it's 2016. American Blacks are just as capable as anyone else, let's treat them that way for a change.
.

If they were just as capable as anyone else they would be doing what "anyone else" would be doing.
They are not because they can't.
If the country started treating negroes just like any other race the UN would be calling for world wide sanctions.
Face facts. The negro race is essentially the world's 'Special Needs' race and it must be treated 'differently' than any other race.

Facts.

Well, please fill me in on which country/state/nation in Africa hasn't been under European domination and colonialism at one point or another.

If you study history...EVERY region has dominated others at some point. Asia has. Europe has. The Middle East has. Not breaking news there Sherlock.



You lefties want slavery to always be a topic...because it justifies your anti white racism. That's all.

 

[Sallow]

Liberals ***** about slavery 150 years ago. But ignore modern slavery in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

Cool.

Start a thread on it.

Well you folks are constantly bitching about poverty and dependency with not to subtle racist undertones about how the impoverished just "made bad choices". Interestingly enough, you folks lavish praise on the insanely wealthy for making "good choices".

When that little fallacy gets broken up by the facts, part and parcel of which is the history of this nation, you guys start screaming about "anti-white" racism.

It would be hysterical if it wasn't such a profound part of the problem.

You guys may be on to something.

If folks, who weren't alive, aren't responsible for bad stuff, historically, why should they be bothered by it?

And in the same vein, if folks BENEFITTED by things done in the past, that they had nothing to do with, then really? There should be no benefit.

It's high time to do away with inheritance.

Man, you guys are good!

Nice attempt to correlate people passing down assets to their own kin to the concept that some people are owed something due to past sins.

Wait what?

You want profit passed down but want nothing to do with liability?

Gotta love that.

what you are whining about is fake liability.

But nice try on being a sponge, again. your worthless hack.

So sue Europe and Africa..

Atlantic slave trade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Atlantic slave trade or transatlantic slave trade took place across the Atlantic Ocean from the 16th through to the 19th centuries. The vast majority of those enslaved that were transported to the New World, many on the triangular trade routeand its Middle Passage, were West Africans from the central and western parts of the continent sold by other western Africans to western European slave traders, with a small minority being captured directly by the slave traders in coastal raids, and brought to theAmericas.[1] The numbers were so great that Africans who came by way of the slave trade became the most numerous Old World immigrants in both North and South America before the late 18th century.[2] Far more slaves were taken to South America than to the north. The South Atlantic economic system centered on producing commodity crops, and making goods and clothing to sell in Europe, and increasing the numbers of African slaves brought to the New World. This was crucial to those western European countries which, in the late 17th and 18th centuries, were vying with each other to create overseas empires.[3]

The Portuguese were the first to engage in the New World slave trade in the 16th century, in 1526, and other countries soon followed.[4] Ship owners considered the slaves as cargo to be transported to the Americas as quickly and cheaply as possible,[3] there to be sold to labour in coffee, tobacco, cocoa, sugar and cottonplantations, gold and silver mines, rice fields, construction industry, cutting timber for ships, in skilled labour, and as domestic servants. The first Africans imported to theEnglish colonies were classified as "indentured servants", like workers coming from England, and also as "apprentices for life". By the middle of the 17th century, slavery had hardened as a racial caste; they and their offspring were legally the property of their owners, and children born to slave mothers were slaves. As property, the people were considered merchandise or units of labour, and were sold at markets with other goods and services.

The Atlantic slave traders, ordered by trade volume, were: the Portuguese, the British, the French, the Spanish, and the Dutch Empire. Several had established outposts on the African coast where they purchased slaves from local African leaders.[5] These slaves were managed by a factor who was established on or near the coast to expedite the shipping of slaves to the New World. These slaves were kept in a factory while awaiting shipment. Current estimates are that about 12 million Africans were shipped across the Atlantic,[6] although the number purchased by the traders is considerably higher.[7][8]

Hell for that matter sue African blacks, they traded as many slaves as anyone

They traded all the slaves…….every slave that left africa was captured and sold by Africans…….

Well no.

Slavery and Colonialism had some very real world consequences that still permeates our society today.

 

[boedicca]

The OP is a loon.

Anyone who thinks America has forgotten slavery is a babbling nutjob.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

There are half a dozen Progressive countries that STILL practice slavery

Hey, can I have that money your kids don't deserve???

Oh, wait... Folks on welfare don't have any, unless WE give it to them...

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Get over it libs.

 

[boedicca]

And in the rest, the Progs are feverishly implementing 21st Century Serfdom.

Hopenchange!

You might want a cold compress for that stretch

Not a stretch at all.

Many of today's wealthiest folks had ancestors who had a very "casual" relationship with the law.

But still?

They got the loot.

Really?

Most Wealthy Individuals Earned, Not Inherited, Their Wealth

The Decline of Inherited Money
The Decline of Inherited Money
1. According to a study of Federal Reserve data conducted by NYU professor Edward Wolff, for the nation’s richest 1%, inherited wealth accounted for only 9% of their net worth in 2001, down from 23% in 1989. (The 2001 number was the latest available.)

2. According to a study by Prince & Associates, less than 10% of today’s multi-millionaires cited “inheritance” as their source of wealth.

3. A study by Spectrem Group found that among today’s millionaires, inherited wealth accounted for just 2% of their total sources of wealth.

Each of these stats measures slightly different things, yet they all come to the same basic conclusion: Inheritance is not the main driver of today’s wealth. The reason we’ve had a doubling in the number of millionaires and billionaires over the past decade (even adjusted for inflation) is that more of the non-wealthy have become wealthy.

So it’s not just that the same old rich folks are getting richer. The more-important shift is that the rich are getting more numerous.

No worries.

Crazy rich man Forbes and Rupert Murdoch's WSJ bear little weight in the real world.

So no pardon needed.

 

[whitehall]

Nobody ever forgot slavery but I bet "Salon" forgot that it was New England that profited most from the slave trade. While ignorant lefties are content to blame the Confederate flag it was the state flags of Connecticut and Rhode Island and even the Stars and Stripes that flew off the stern of slave ships. The Confederacy only lasted four years and slavery went on for two hundred..

I guess you just don't have enough class to credit other people's writing using quotation marks.
No surprise there.
On any other forum you would have been permanently banned for your behaviour. But you know this of course.

Look at this jackass! First one to comment and its not about the topic at all. Good Job!

Twice in a row, this morning, Dannyboy tried calling Sallow out for the same thing.
He can't address the topic.....only the structure

Ahh another white people discussing whats wrong with...everyone else thread. Get ready to be enlightened

Thats why you are so hard on the Jews and Passover!

It's 2016.

Maybe we could start acting like it's 2016. American Blacks are just as capable as anyone else, let's treat them that way for a change.
.

If they were just as capable as anyone else they would be doing what "anyone else" would be doing.
They are not because they can't.If the country started treating negroes just like any other race the UN would be calling for world wide sanctions. Face facts. The negro race is essentially the world's 'Special Needs' race and it must be treated 'differently' than any other race.

No. American Blacks are as capable as anyone else, although they are hamstrung from an early age in our country due to the conditioning to which they are subjected from birth by those who claim to "care".

Treat them that way and they will respond accordingly, just like anyone else.
.

When you have a race that has generally IQs in the low eighties living on the same planet as other races who generally speaking have IQs above a hundred plus living in one of the most competitive social constructs the world has ever seen some things become blatantly obvious.
To utter this "racial hate" is in fact racial reality.
A hundred years from now does anyone in their right mind believe the negro race would have 'risen up' intellectually and begin to actually compete with the other races?
Ya ******* right.
Will other races still be pretending the negro race is "just as capable as other races"? No one believes that.
