Marion: You think the statement that I made is out of line? You’ve got to be kidding?
Yes, I think it’s out of line because you went and stated that some Africans were responsible for selling out their people when we know who was responsible for this.
We all know the American Indians were treated horribly, but the slaves were treated like animals. Worse than the Indians by far.
I’m not for any monetary reparations for black people. As has already been said, we should move forward now. We’ve already come a long way as evidenced by the fact that we have a black candidate for the presidency of the United States. There are other things we need to focus on such as a national health care plan.
I can’t feel guilty about slavery, I’m black. However, a lot of people mistake me for some other race. Yesterday, the maintenance man came to look at my washing machine and asked me if I was Indian (Not the American kind). Haha.
