1930s Germany is one of but a long line of attempts at exterminating the Jews. Pretty much everyone from the Pharaohs to the Crusaders to the Inquisition took their shot, long before the Nazis. My people are more oppressed than your people...nyany nyany nah nah... [Neene1][ROFL1]
Not arguing anyone's oppression. I've got heritage on both sides. My point is...America is was and always will be the land of the free. Atrocities have been commited since the beginning of known time. The US is and has to be better than that. Honestly I don't hear many if any Black Americans crying about slavery. You must watch too much TV if you think that's the case.
And the likelihood of BHO being descended from the FIRST African slave brought to America is about the same as me being descended from the British Crown(a probability somewhat less than zero), and it's utterly irrelevant anyhow.Given that his father is a citizen of Kenya, the possibility of his having ANY U.S. slave heritage is vainishingly slim. American Slavery is no doubt a black eye for the "Land of the Free", but it ended 150 years ago. It's time for folks to get over it. I don't give a rat's ass who his ancestors were, I look at what he's done and where he's going to go if we give him the chance, and I don't like the man.
I guess it depends on how you read it. Wood pile represents family tree you have cut down and are about to burn, family you want to deny. But the truth is if you have family that has been in the south more then 3 generation then there is something like a 99% chance you had a family member that was a slave. I don't deny my past and embrace that history. I just think it funny and sad that others use it to further their agendas. I think it more racist to use this history as a way to get ahead in life. Buy selling yourself as a descendant of a slave you are having others judge you not by your character, but by the color of your skin.

I'm "O"pressed....That is all.
Obama descended from a whore and a communist, I don't give a fuck what color either party was. The end.
If you're going to judge someone based on the color of their skin then you're a mother-fucking jackass and you can take that to the bank.[Rant1]
Thread locked for a while, hopefully everyone cools down. Will open it back up after a bit.
Let me just add that I wasn't watching this thread as closely as I should have - if it gets unlocked I will be watching it closely.
The staff, and especially ME among them will not tolerate any racist crap on this site. In the recent history of this site we've banned members for that behavior.
Our membership is very diverse and I can't think of one race that isn't represented here.
I've met many members of this site of various races and national origins and I have yet to encounter even one member that I disliked or took issue with. Everyone I've met from here is just plain "good people".
Anyone starts spitting racist crap and they're offending my friends and I will not sit idly by and allow that to occur.
I'm a Missouri Ozark Hillbilly where anyone who wasn't white was described in my parts with unpleasant epithets. Given MY origins, if I can be accepting of all races, none of the rest of you have any excuse why you can't also.
'Nuf said!
With that said, we also cannot have any threats or fighting on the board.
If you see something that is overtly offensive or racist, use the "Report Post" function. For those of you not familiar, it is the red triangle with an exclamation mark at the top right corner of each post.
It will report it to every one of the staff members via the forum software and email. We will deal with the post, remove or edit it, and deal with the user via PM or giving infractions where necessary.
