One wants to scream at all those outraged at the Zimmerman verdict: Where is your outrage over the collapse of the black family? Today's civil-rights leaders swat at mosquitoes like Zimmerman when they have gorillas on their back. Seventy-three percent of all black children are born without fathers married to their mothers. And you want to bring the nation to a standstill over George Zimmerman?

Bingo #2

I believe it was the Muslims who enslaved them and then sold them to the Spaniards who brough them over here and sold some to the French and English colonists and keeping some for the Carribean. But why let facts get in the way of a good jab??? Carry-on...

The fact is without $$$ and at that time it was gold not US $, there was no way for the warlords to keep doing it, this has been discussed before ... The french and british cant do anything without slaves ... They should have said ... we dont care if its 12 blacks for 1 gold coin, we dont want it, we will work on our house ourselves, and we will not have black people in our country.

That was carried over to the US's heritage ...

Then the americans kicked the british out ...

But kept their worst habit.

Blaming the british and french settlers is all fine ... however these people are the same "founding fathers" of the country. You may have dropped in from a different country @ some later point ... much like me. However in your legacy and mine there is slavery where it pertains to my "american" life. That is just the way it is.

Cool.

& Therin lies the problem, the society I know doesnt have a thing against blacks. I know I dont. People are people. If I am supposed to NOT like someone because they are a different color, then do I Hafta Like everyone who is the same color? Cuz I dont,, there are blacks I like & blacks I dont,, same with whites & every other color. If someone can tell me they believe they can tell someone is not worth knowing because their great great great grandparents came from Africa, then Ive found exactly one idiot not worth knowing,
Since the surgery Ive been hiring a guy to do the stuff Im sposed to be doin,, he is a black dude, rides a Harley, no cage, lives in a small trailer, single, about my age. He uses the N word.. & funny thing is, he uses it the same way I do. It applies to all races, its a type of person, not a race,

Im sure there are some racists out there. I think maybe my neighbor may be one, Im not sure, but when I told her she could hire the guy Im using & save a ton fixin stuff up, she didnt seem too excited, O well,, her loss,,

Heres the long & short of it,,
There are people who make a living, somehow, Al Notso Sharpton ? REally? How does he keep beans on the table? What about Jessee Jackson? Do they unite America? Or do they keep what division there is well defined & tangible? I see them as bad for America. YMMV..

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are getting traction because there is a segment of the black population who do feel the way they do ...

& Im saying these guys make their Living keeping that sentiment alive.
& America would be better off without them doing what they do. I believe the segment of the population who follows them would benefit to not focus on the divisions in society. I dont have their experiences, dont know who has done what to them, what theyve been hurt by or limited by.
Maybe these feelings are 100% reasonable, I simply dont know, I just wish people would work at treating others reasonably & fairly & NOT racially making decisions about Who is worth knowing & who is trust worthy, etc.. There are small minds on both sides. We seriously need to grow up as a society. Zimmerman has exactly ZERO history of being racist, as you will soon see,, or, maybe its all just lies..

How about ya have a look at that other post, answer those questions & see then.
