All the black men and women in pro-sports should be an answer to the question, generalizations notwithstanding.<br /><br />But really, what is it these people mean by "liberty," exactly, that they feel only the Repubs offer it and Obama wants to take it away. The most recent comparison has been between US and Sweden, and absent the ability to enjoy ridiculous riches, I'd prefer to live in Sweden.<br /><br />2 - Fly, not asking you to defend anything, just curious, trying to gain understand - On what basis do you consider yourself politically conservative? For instance, are you a fiscal conservative, social conservative, etc. Do you prefer free market to a regulated market? Small government? What is it about conservativism that you identify with? Just asking. Don't take anything, for lack of better words, personal. I'm not attacking you.

Are African descendants in America the only group who is not entitled to remember their history in these divided states? It seems that every other group has that right or priviledge except for us. And folks like you do "us" a disservice by spouting off this nonsense under the guise of asking us to "move on." <br /><br />When the United States of America apologizes for slavery and provides fair compensation to its victims and their descendants by some substantial transfer of assets as remuneration for 250 years of slaver labor, and another 100 more in forms of bondage, then we'll move on. <br /><br />The Japanese who were interned in WWII were compensated. The "Native" American people were compensated for the slaughter they received at the hands of the U.S.... African descendants? We were rewarded with peonage, convict lease system, Jim Crow, poll taxes, literacy tests at the polls. Seriously, we'll forget it when America pull its proverbial head out of the ground.EzMunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320655541362238729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-76922333839511566812009-04-26T18:07:00.000-04:002009-04-26T18:07:00.000-04:00excellent post FN, as always.excellent post FN, as always.ebonyInoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-37722295673200356652009-04-26T16:34:00.000-04:002009-04-26T16:34:00.000-04:00"By focusing on every little perceived slight we h..."By focusing on every little perceived slight we hold tighter to our chains."<br /><br />I'll say it again- all conservative rhetorical roads regarding blacks lead to "Sit down, shut up, and take it".Plantsmantxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-79389664613508224532009-04-26T12:03:00.000-04:002009-04-26T12:03:00.000-04:00FN,

Our families are broken. 72% of fathers abandon their children and 72% of our sisters spread their legs for fools. More than half of our children turn their back on education and drop out of school and our mothers stand by and let it happen. Say what you will about the justice system but our young men choose criminality at an alarming rate. Our young men kill each other at a rate never before seen in the history of mankind! We strive for quick riches at any cost and shy away from sacrifice and hard work.<br /> CERTAINLY there are good decent hard working brothers and sisters out there doing the right thing but not nearly at the rate we need to "overcome". Our society glamorizes physicality and demonizes education as "acting white".<br /> Were at the bottom of every category of social fitness and we dont seem to be turning it around. How can we possibly hope to rise when no kid has the advantage of a good father in the home. Mentoring is nice but it doesnt come close to filling the "father" hole. It just doesnt. Too few hold parents to task for their out of control and failing kids. We blame society, whitey, the media, everybody but ourselves. Its too easy to point the finger at others. "Racism chasers" like yourself do our people no good at all. Instead of showing our kids the barriers, try showing them the clear roads. <br /><br /> Ghandi said; THE TRUE SLAVE CLINGS TO HIS CHAINS AND THEY MUST BE STRUCK FROM HIM"<br /><br /> By focusing on every little perceived slight we hold tighter to our chains.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-46371674389040136132009-04-26T00:01:00.000-04:002009-04-26T00:01:00.000-04:00Jody said...
