    CC, the reasoning you offered up is the same one that retroactively white supremacists use. "Well, you are better off here than over there, so slavery was a good thing."

    In essence, you are saying slavery (not per se but given the historical outcome) was a good thing. It's like saying the Holocaust was a good thing for Jews because now many Jewish posterity now live in the best country in the world.

    It completely disconnects ppl now from the tragedies & suffering of those who were persecuted, tortured & killed in the past. I'm not thankful for that. It just is what it is.

    Speak for your racist ass self.

    You missed civics school looks like.

    Why would anyone be thankful for being taken from their home country against their will, proceed to get enslaved, work the fields for free, raped, whipped, oppressed just so the white men can have a lavish life style?

    I like how all of that just goes over your head.

    You probably have the same sentiment toward what the nazis did to the jews.

    I bet they just asked for it.
    CC just mad his great granddaddy got his ass whipped at Gettysburg.

    Looks at that. We were thinking the same thing with the nazi/jew argument.

    It's amazing how this goes over people's heads.

    Racist? Really? So you guys think it would be better to be born in some aids infested hole in equatorial africa than tbe US? That it would be better to be starving in some dictatorial backwater with no safe food or water as opposed to living in the US where they can whine about not having a segregated safe space on their college campus?
    You are still painted being sold into slavery as being a good thing, brotherkiller. Nice.

    It's a scary line of reasoning. I wonder if CC is okay with taking Africans from their homes right now & enslaving them if, according to him, after all their posterity will be better off than they were.

    He's a ing idiot.

    your lack of empathy is showing. I imagine that is the same rationale you used against your brother.

    I get that you cannot help it but you should know that behaving like a sociopath does not have good optics.

    " we still should be thankful for being born here. Despite our flaws its still the greatest political system on earth."

    total BULL PROPAGANDA

    iow, (some of) you are ing lucky, so STFU, quit your in, esp if you're non-male, non-white, non-Christian.


    And just WTF are you doing to change things?
    Change can take place in this country, yet you come on this board as a liberal and try and make the whole bunch look like a bunch of sociopaths just bolstering the nutty right's claims. You are the left's worst nightmare.

    What at do you do? What charity work? You need something to do? I can hook you up teaching disadvantaged kids. Say yes you wish to help kids learn to read or do simple math. How much time do you have in the summer when they are out of school and waiting for remediation?

    Complain but never give a bit of effort to help. You can't be taken seriously in any of your claims to care about any particular group of people except yourself. Go fire up a group to go kill cops again why don't you.

    lol how is it that “IT’S HISTORY, YOU CAN’T CHANGE IT” has become the alt-right’s stock defense for their racist bull ?

    It’s not even a proper defense, it’s just yelling something random to divert attention.

    "And just WTF are you doing to change things?"

    haven't you heard? America is ed and un able. GAMEOVER.

    Repugs are packing Federal courts with rightwing extremists, and passing tax cuts that will make the already unimaginably wealthy oligarchy even more wealthy. That wealth is political power, and will be greatly increased.

    "Change can take place in this country"

    Nope, GAMEOVER. the American Experiment is ed

    "What at do you do? What charity work? You need something to do? I can hook you up teaching disadvantaged kids."

    That's nibbling at the crumbling edges of society, while the power center of society has much more power to continue to exclude, to crush the edges.

    Sure you did. Ain't trying to change history, but when I come across toilet rags with on them hanging from people's asses I like to shove it up peoples' nostrils hoping they get a nice whiff of it, so that they can grab that toilet paper stuck in their ing ass & hopefully throw it away so I don't have to smell it.

    You being obtuse to the implications of your statement does not make the implication go away. You've been led to the water. Time to take a drink, brotherkiller.

    Honestly the back breaking labor of the slaves is responsible for a lot if the development of the southern farm lands. Cotton they picked made clothes for whole country cheap plus they developed farm land for food stuffs which fed a lot if the country and cash crops like rice and indigo made Southerners rich. Same with the Chinese and the railroads so these minorities helped America a tremendous amount too as much as benefited from it. slaves even built the white house and us capitol buildings

    If they had to pay whites to do all that farming and railroad laying would have set them back decades maybe. Would have been a massive labor shortage and would have been cost prohibitive in many cases

    Looking elsewhere in history.. No one would give two s about the Egyptians if they didn't have the slaves to build them the pyramids neither. Their supposed superior culture amounted to them telling a bunch of Jews to build a triangle

    You don't need to defend the argument. Just point and laugh is good enough.

    Not even a matter of being white. Blacks should be thankful their ancestors were kidnapped from that african hole.
    No one's getting that mixed up.

    We may all disagree on politics but we still should be thankful for being born here. Despite our flaws its still the greatest political system on earth.
    Well, back to that -- as long as we can hope to change the country for the better through politics, I agree.

    You're generally willing to critique Republicans here on this forum despite being mainly conservative so I give you a lot of credit for that. Some of the right wingers here and the right wing guys I Twitter I follow it would literally kill them to admit they or their party were wrong ever

    Blaming others much like callous indifference is not a good look. You're not so stupid that you don't see what we are talking about but your ego has to be providing a notable amount of cognitive dissonance.

    Your ability to avoid introspection is remarkable.
