you do realize when the country was taken, it was a different time and things worked differently....it's why Brazilians speak Portuguese, Jamaicans have an English inspired culture etc.
The real point though, is that my Grandfather, My Father, myself, My Son had nothing to do with any of it, so stop bringing it up....it's offensive!
Black people do not want to be judged on what some bad apples do to give black people a bad name....well guess what? We don't want to be grouped in with white people that did bad things....makes sense, no? It's why I started a thread about Ali...he called white people devils...I did nothing wrong, I take offense to it and have no respect for him.
I have no problem with it at all. We have a great history in this country but also some not so great. Simply pointing it out, is not offensive at all. Is it anymore offensive than the white here bringing up black on black crime?
And speaking of Ali.....don't you think it was a different time when he said white people were Devils? If you are to excuse slave owners for their actions in different times.....I would think you would do the same for Ali. Or are white crimes in different times forgivable but not black Muslim?
Not bad.... I'll play .....:
dear fellow red guy,
the blue guys bitch slapped us the last two elections . Is it possible they win again ? Have we no shame ? What are
We doing to change things ? Is this pseudo - red guy , the narcissist , the best we got ?.... In time will we all be peeing in the same room?
warm regards
ps., I love you
Yep.
Her emphasis should be on how far the country has come. And how the white people of the past 50 years have made it all possible. Blacks have not only reached equality but they have reached "extra equality" through affirmative action and the many government cutouts that are slated specifically for minorities to the exclusion of whites, white men in particular.
Michelle and Barack have been the beneficiaries of such cutouts for their whole lives.
Do you hear gratitude? Nope. Just invocations of the same old tired racially divisive crap from 200 years ago.
As a white man I am getting pretty sick of it.
I would really like to hear a "thank you" from some of the beneficiaries of the social policies aimed at elevating the black man (and woman) over the past 50 years.
I, even as a conservative, had great hope for this presidency and the further cementing of race relations that Obama (and Michelle) could have made. Instead, they have torn us apart like at no other time in my lifetime. They have encouraged hate and division on many levels.
Entitlement is now built into the DNA of many Americans. Even undocumented invaders. Just look at the anti Trump protests in California.
Gratitude? Forget it.
Great stuff !
The anti Trump protesters are the scum that shouldnt receive any help or sympathy from anyone. Young able bodied yet so anti society. Burning American flags and draping mexican flags over cop cars. Basically there to fight and start shit. If you dont like the US get out nothing stopping them.
