There is no civil discussion to be had with people who think blacks make up racism as an excuse for our failures.
“Actually, its ignorant to claim that all slaves were unhappy as slaves. And there were positive aspects to being a slave---lower crime rate and no welfare pop to mind. Being a slavein America--was far far better than being a slave in South America, Africa, or on the islands.
The slaves in America growing up as a slave on plantations knew nothing else. And hell even when given the chance to be free, many did not want to be–see my favorite over hyped story of slaves HARRIET TUBMAN–she went back to FREE her family as she was paid by the head by abolitionists to“free” slaves. Many of her own family refused to leave andopted to return to the plantation. Her daddy by the way, wasgiven a house and lands by his owner and was freed...like aretirement package.
Many who owned slaves did not wish to abuse their slaves and often treated them quit well (Iknow we aren’t supposed to know this but it is historic fact,but you know the libs would have a melt down if the truthwas posted.) MANY MANY slave owners released their slaves, while Many others felt slavery was evil but could not find a way to release the slaves and make it possible for them to support themselves if they were free. Slavery in America was like no other place and certainly not always as portrayed by the race pimps of now. There were very abusive slave owners –but there were many who didn’t have malice–they just grew up with slavery as a way of life but held no malice against the slaves.”
This was not spoken in 1823 or 1923. It was posted in this forum by member Mary L. Others here have repeated the same crazy. Mac 7 I believe he calls himself, has consistently told me how grateful blacks should be for slavery. While these kinds of comment are floated around here on a daily basis, we are told thst our demand for reparations is unfair because whites are being blamed for the actions of their ancestors.
“The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, socially & physically. The painful discipline theyare undergoing, is necessary for their instruction as a race,& I hope will prepare & lead them to better things. How long their subjugation may be necessary is known &ordered by a wise Merciful Providence.” -Robert E. Lee
Funny how many people here are repeating the same beliefs of those ancestors and since that attitude remains, we have seen everything that goes with it.
‘I Got Tired of Hunting Black and Hispanic People’
Multiple police officers in Brooklyn say they were told by a commander that white and Asian people should be left alone.
Published Dec. 6, 2019 Updated June 17, 2020
At a police station tucked into an end-of-the-line subway terminal in South Brooklyn, the new commander instructed officers to think of white and Asian people as “soft targets” and urged them to instead go after blacks and Latinos for minor offenses like jumping the turnstile, a half-dozen officers said in sworn statements.
“You are stopping too many Russian and Chinese,” one of the officers, Daniel Perez, recalled the commander telling him earlier this decade.
Another officer, Aaron Diaz, recalled the same commander saying in 2012, “You should write more black and Hispanic people.”
The sworn statements, gathered in the last few months as part of a discrimination lawsuit, deal with a period between 2011 and 2015. But they are now emerging publicly at a time when policing in the subway has become a contentious issue, sparking protests over a crackdown on fare evasion and other low-level offenses.
The commander, Constantin Tsachas, was in charge of more than 100 officers who patrolled a swath of the subway system in Brooklyn, his first major command. Since then, he has been promoted to the second-in-command of policing the subway system throughout Brooklyn. Along the way, more than half a dozen subordinates claim, he gave them explicit directives about whom to arrest based on race.
