Why not celebrate the 250 years of incredible progress?

She’d probably say things haven’t improved much for blacks.

Very few freed slaves returned to their homelands when given the chance, why is that?

Every race was a slave at one point or another throughout history. They just happened to be last

Our country provides an opportunity for Brianna to earn a very nice salary to play a game.

FIFY. The country pays her nothing.

America had the shortest time in history with slavery and you know why you dont track those that sold the slaves. They are still doing it in the homeland.

Well, truth be told, minus Slavery, she wouldn’t be here and playing in the WNBA.

The whole world practiced slavery until our Civil War bloodshed made it a major issue. And shut it down in most of civilized society. Just like Jesus shut down Pagan civilization.

Whatever they want to do is their right. Hardly anybody watches them anyway as they are proven as of late to be borderline racist.

Obama put the metaphorical screwworm in the intestine of the United States. He will go down as not only the worst president in United States history, but one of the worst leaders in the history of the world.

No one would notice either way. Now that they’ve basically knocked off Caitlin Clark they will go back to irrelevance. No one cares…. Again.

The American Civil War, fought from 1861 to 1865, resulted in significant loss of life and injuries among soldiers.

Estimated Deaths The estimated number of soldiers who died during the Civil War ranges from:

quote:

620,000 to 750,000: This is the commonly cited range based on historical analysis.

Up to 850,000: Some estimates suggest the total could be as high as this figure.

Injuries

In addition to the deaths, the war also resulted in a substantial number of injuries:

Total Injured: Approximately 1.5 million soldiers were reported as casualties, which includes those wounded, missing, or captured.

Wounded: The number of wounded soldiers is estimated to be around 500,000.


This unappreciative sea urchin never studied history.

Abraham Lincoln was a Republican young lady.

Executive order issued by president Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863 that freed southern slaves.

The Emancipation Proclamation, officially Proclamation 95, was a presidential proclamation and executive order issued by United States President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, during the American Civil War.

The Proclamation changed the legal status of more than 3.5 million enslaved African Americans in the secessionist Confederate states.

Go back and read all of US history and be appreciative for those that fought and died for everyone’s freedom.

The plantation owners were Democrats. Let that sink in.

Name one country that has never had slavery.


only one continent did not have slavery. ANTARTICA.

most all others had it long before there was any USA. although it was here just done by our great indigenous peoples who fought over lands and had slaves way before any euro stepped foot here.

there is still slave markets in north africa.

where is this dumb bitches outrage over it?

If not for WNBA she'd be a low level state government employee. But by all means shite on the country that gives you more opportunities than anywhere else
