So you are saying the majority of slave owners would have no problems with a slave leaving?



Of course they would. What's your point?

Thought you already up-voted it on the OT.


I upvoted it solely on the principle of effort; The author put down some critical thinking that makes you go hmmm. Even though I agree with some of it, it still has tones of racial bias and doesn't account for culture.

But that shouldn't stop us from enjoying the entertainment it will invariably cause on the poliboard.

You said slaves had a positive experience being slaves. They were fed well.

Exactly how is being killed for wanting to leave in any way defendable.

I'm sorry for being a nuisance, white people. Even though I just graduated from college, have a spotless record, outside of a few speeding tickets, and plan on being a productive member of society, I'm sorry for intruding.

As much as the media loves the idea of a race war to boost ratings, it's gotten better over the last decade. Without a doubt.

Those white people have grown tired of the constant victim hood card thrown in their face every turn. Blacks are losing ground with that important white majority.


This. They commit crimes, but it's not their fault or they "made a mistake". Committing a crime is far more serious than a "mistake". When people start taking responsibility for their behavior and behave, they just might earn a little respect.

I remember a recent criminal trial in Central Louisiana where some black youth robbed and attacked a couple of priests, and actually shot one of them. One of the defendants' mother had the audacity to publicly plea to the Judge to not sent her son to jail but instead let "Jesus" rehabilitate him. The Judge listened patiently and then looked at the three boys and told them that given their past records and current crime for which they had been convicted, he couldn't see one thing socially redeeming about them and then gave them their jail time.

Take responsibility for your behavior and quit blaming everyone else when you misbehave.

So you're saying that white people own up to their misdeeds all the time?

I am confused. Why has the assault on girl and younger brother thread been anchored but not this thread??

No typically the OT calls a spade a spade, but let's not pretend like we're the only ones making excuses for ourselves.

plenty of entitled douchebags don't take responsibility for their shite, and often even white ones are called out for it on here

i said often, not always

i'm not calling the OT the bastion of empathy and acceptance by any means, but their vitriol is often targeted at whites for a variety of reasons

there are some things that rise above all races, creeds, religions, or other sociologically dividing factors

...like tattoos

I agree, but the reaction here is definitely different based on the race of the people involved based on what I've seen.

Let me show you what racism looks like and how it's happening here.

What color are the defendants? Black. You know this how? Bc the poster wrote it.

Now ... what color is the judge? Why is it important enough to mention one but not the other?

I see a wiki page listing African empires. Is this your evidence of the historical contributions of subSaharan Africa? I see nothing about art, literature, inventions, discoveries...
