You..Porter..same ole..same ole. But sure..sorry for getting the wrong racist idiot. Still...it was your comrade in supremacy that brought up blame..and you just ran with it.Not a quote of me. SHOW it. Then apologize, you clumsy oaf.Idiot..i was quoting you!How interesting that you speak of "whites" when talking about blame for slavery, when the particular whites who engaged in it, were only a tiny % of those living in only one section of the US.I neither like or don't..it is history and it is a data point. No one is advocating punishing anyone..they are advocating addressing historical wrongs--in a variety of ways. I would point out that the British were also the first nation to outlaw slavery--and the first nation to aggressively attempt to end the slave trade by conducting vigorous and effective naval patrols and interdiction's.Like it or not, the United States was founded for the white people. Nobody has a problem with slavery unless they can blame the whites. Forget the fact that the Constitution began phasing out slavery AND it under British rule that blacks were made slaves. How many times have you advocated punishing the British, the slavers and / or the blacks how sold their brethren into slavery?
Every ethical person has a problem with slavery..whether or not the 'whites' can be blamed. Jefferson and company were groping in the dark...attempting to codify the philosophical underpinnings of our nation, but actions DO speak louder than words.....and equality may be a right....but it is one that has not yet been attained.
I'm curious..as to where in the original Constitution..do you find this, 'phasing out of slavery' that you refer to?
You said...
"Like it or not, the United States was founded for the white people. Nobody has a problem with slavery unless they can blame the whites."
To which I responded..."Every ethical person has a problem with slavery..whether or not the 'whites' can be blamed."
If you want to talk about blaming...well...who benefited from slavery? Whose economy was based on slave labor? What percentage of the GNP of the Southern States was slave-based? Supply and demand, after all, right? I don't blame people long dead for our problems today. I acknowledge their part in the making of our nation, warts and all--but blame? Blame is for people like you..who perpetuate the underlying poison of racism..with subtle and not so subtle spinnings of the truth..in order to justify their continuing sense of victim-hood.
As for who is perpetuating racism, you are, and your grabby, racist buddies here who all support Affirmative Action, while you mock its victims.
Blame ? It's for you.
You are the "same ole - same ole." When you draw simplistic conclusions based upon a few paragraphs on the Internet, that is damn foolish. I do not "blame" anyone except those in power. However, the non-whites were not reluctant to become opportunists and feed off that which government wrongfully took from the haves to give to have nots... and joined in the efforts to take advantage of government thievery. It's kind of like the non-whites receiving stolen property.
