OT. Obama or Mc Cain

Anyone 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.

It’s harsh, but slavery was and has been a part of human history for throughout its existence. Nobody put much stock into its being wrong until the rise of the western world.

For all its faults, America and the Western world evolved to have a belief system that essentially eradicated slavery within its ranks.

Maybe instead of asking America for reparations, those playing the slavery card should thank America.

Notice how countries with the biggest human trafficking/slavery problems are non-western countries?

Democrats are interchangeable with Republicans. Differences between them are minor. Not a dime’s worth to matter. Whoever wins in November, the outcome is certain. Voters again will lose. They’ll get the best democracy money can buy but none of it earmarked for them.

Ex-SD, thanks for the link. I know about Africans enslaving other Africans. You will have deviants in every society. I just felt your comment was out of line, as if you were trying to shift some of the blame from the white slavetraders back to the African People.

Again, I know about the treatment of the American Indians. It was horrible, but I’m not going to agree that they were treated worse than the black slaves. Also, please consider how African-American people were treated post-slavery as well.
