patriotism good, unquestioning sheep bad

No, YOU weren't dragged here. Just as I wasn't brought here. You were born here (as far as I know), as was I. That makes us both Americans. I can't do shit about slavery, it wasn't my fault. And when you look at the condition that parts of Africa and Europe are in, I am glad that I was born here, even though we have our share of problems, too.

Yeah, who dragged your ass here? You were born here more than likely unless you immigrated, to which again you weren't dragged here. And unless your about 200-300 years old or older you definitely weren't dragged here.

Don't like it, move to africa, give up your US citizenship and become an african. I am sure they would love to have you.

The best neighborhood in your city?? Last time I checked Camden was one of the worst cities in the country. The whole area is a piece of shit..

So is cherry hill, it has gone downhill since I was born there in 65

Food for thought....Blacks didn't come here on their own. We were dragged here. So many of us don't have this unquestioning gratefulness. Not saying Blacks are right...just saying this is the deal...the way it is.

but that was 300 years ago. and blacks weren't the only ones who had to deal with racism. all non white, non protestant non americans faced it.

and there isn't a race alive that didn't exist in slavery at one time or another. whites had to live under feudalism (which is a chivalry era version of slavery) for hundreds to thousands of years.

and, i think america used to be an english penal colony (just like australia. all england's criminals were sent here) so the founders were here against their will too.

Anywhere in that preschool you call a college did they teach you that the blacks who were "dragged" here were prisoners of war who would otherwise have been summarily executed? Additionally, if "you" hadn't been brought here, would NEGROES have any rights in any countries?

For all you "education", you are IGNORANT, and as Chesty and so many others have so eloquently pointed out, use your color to hide behind whenever someone calls into question the validity of your half-socialist, half-communist posts.

Just as your ethnicity, which you are so proud to shove in everyone's face like your sexual orientation, everything about you is "half". Half-brained, half-educated, half-assed. Go try your half-thought-out ideas on half-wits elsewhere, you half.....

And you're not? Where did that info about prisoners of war come from? post a link.

OK, morbid curiosity's got me. Explain this.

Agreed. All races in history have had some kind of tragedy at the hand of another race.

I never said the conditions I speak of are unique to Blacks in history.

It is hard to discuss this here because rather than the original point, I have to defend words I haven't even said.

I'm over it.

That's kinda like how whites have to pay for actions they didn't take. I didn't enslave anyone, especially not you. So don't pin that shit on me.
