Perhaps we should be worried about Islamic slavery that is going on today. The same people that rounded up slaves and sent them to the America's are still active in the trade today. Try to end the enslavement that christian and Hindu women are enduring at this moment.

Um, I'm pretty sure the Europeans had a hand it that as well. Or do they get a pass?

Personally, I think an apology wouldn't hurt, but I'm not for repatriations, since none of us were alive during that time. I'd settle for just equal treatment all around.

Ok, fess up to where you copied and pasted that from or I'm reporting you for plagiarism.

All me I can be serious when I have no other choice

You enjoy trolling the religious, don't you?

It's kinda pathetic.

Just for the record I am not religious.

If there's free food, count me in. I don't smoke, but I love to feed my pie whole.

You see, food is the one universal item around which everyone should congregate. It is more powerful then the concept of nation, religion or political persuasion. IMHO the world would be a better place if all major and pressing issues were to be discussed around meals.

Yes. becuse our leaders represent the same Govt that offcialy allowed slavery. Don't forget the US flag flew over slavery for over 100 years. I do think a govt issued formal apology and some kind official recognition of the great tragedy of slavery should happen.

Ironically our current President would do it. It came up in GA not to long ago, a family member who is one of the top 5 or 6 positioned politicians in the state asked me about it, I told him i thought it was the thing to do, just like I did when he sponsored the bill to change the flag. It was the right thing to do.

I am very realistic about the wrongs we have done to blacks in this country. I am also very realistic about the damage massive govt programs and affirmative action are doing to them, some think my views are racist, but it is becuse I want them to thrive and do well. It makes our country better.

And the destruction continues.

Affirmative Action is a double edge sword. If you want it to go away, stop letting names like Jamal scare folks. Government programs also affect poor white people, yet folks seems to forget this.
