Marion, Marion, Marion: A quick search on Google and the very first hit was from The National Humanities Center: There are plenty more where you can read about the real history of slavery: Not just what the liberals teach you during Black History Month. Please read this and do a little more research and you will discover more things that you possibly did not know about slavery.
http://nationalhumanitiescenter.org/pds/maai/freedom/text1/text1read.htm
From the article: “Our first reading is the extraordinary account of Ayuba Suleiman Diallo, a Muslim and a member of the Wolof group, and one of the few African-born slaves to return to his homeland. First enslaved by other Africans (Mandingoes), then sold to a European slavetrader and taken to Maryland, his freedom was purchased by an Englishman who helped him return to Gambia in 1734 and published the account of his life.”
Also, please do a little Googling for The Trail of Tears.

Marion. You’re the most disgusting person here. Just go and read your posts in the walmart thread. Pathetic!

June 5, 2008 at 6:47 AM #217156trexParticipantAnyone see the Catholic priest’s rant against Hillary in that church in Chicago? According to him, if you don’t give up your 401(k), all trappings of success, and give them to the black community you are just perpetuating racism.
Social mobility is higher in the United States than almost every other country. It’s not perfect, and we could do more to encourage educational achievement in low income communities. Vocational programs, longer school days, more college prep, mentoring, and my favorite – a class on personal finance. But I’m not suing for reparations for how my relatives got screwed in southern Europe over the last couple hundred years. We have to just let it go. Aren’t the Shias and Sunnis still pissed off over who killed who 1,000 years ago? Not a particularly productive attitude.
I’ll probably vote for McCain. I think markets and free trade and NAFTA and capitalism in general are actually good things.
