ParticipantMarion, 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.
Here’s one link for you to get started: http://ngeorgia.com/history/nghisttt.htmlParticipantMarion, 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.

Here’s one link for you to get started: http://ngeorgia.com/history/nghisttt.htmlParticipantMarion: You think the statement that I made is out of line? You’ve got to be kidding?
If you really believe that the Africans/African Americans have been treated worse than ANY other groups, you really need to read some in depth history about the Trail Of Tears and other things that were done to the American Indians. Many groups have known adversity. That doesn’t give them a license to wear it on their shoulders for the next 1000 years.
Personally, I have absolutely NO reason to carry any “white guilt” about something that “the while man” did in the 1800’s. If you want to belong to the bleeding heart club and feel guilty about it you are more than welcome to do so…………………But, you’re not going to get much support from many of the people who work, pay taxes and make this country go. We don’t want to see our hard earned money that we pay for taxes going for this type of foolishness.

Whoa, Marion……………don’t count those chickens before they hatch. I don’t know what world you live in but McCain has a pretty good chance of being the next President. I don’t care which one of them wins but I do like to play “what -if” with this upcoming beauty contest. There are a lot of people who are fed up with Bush and the Iraq war but that doesn’t guarantee that they won’t vote for McCain just because he has said that the U.S. should stay as long as it takes to finish the job. (something that I don’t agree with)
I know several people that I see on a regular basis who are life-long Democrats and they are enamored with John McCain. All of them point to his age & experience as a positive. They say that if you take a logical look at Obama, he is pretty much an empty suit with no real political accomplishments. I’ve heard and read this before and there is some truth to this. Don’t stick your head in the sand and make blanket statements like McCain doesn’t have a chance to many people or you’re very likely to be eating a lot of crow after the election.As for Hillary as VP, have you ever considered that a move like that on Obama’s part would make him look like a first class idiot to anyone who was on the fence as to who to vote for? His whole message has been “a new beginning”, “change”, etc etc etc. An Obama/Clinton ticket would most likely send more voters to McCain. It would be an idiotic political move.
