CC just mad his great granddaddy got his ass whipped at Gettysburg.
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.
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.
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.
No im not you idiot. None of you were sold into slavery.
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 will torture you, make you live in squalor, in some cases castrate you, not allow you to be dignified with rights bestowed upon all ppl by God...but it's okay because you great-great-great-great^10 grandkids will live in the best country in the world"
LOL
But hey CosmicCowboy you have DarrinS backing you. He saw your callous racism and immediately sympathized.
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.
I never said that. And your holier than thou message board bull won't change a ing thing that happened 200 years ago.
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.
So grab that toilet paper stuck in ur hippie cowboy nose & flush it down the toilet.
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 go full re .
You don't need to defend the argument. Just point and laugh is good enough.
You nasty s can take the sinplest statement of fact and turn it into something its not.
No one's getting that mixed up.![]()
Well, back to that -- as long as we can hope to change the country for the better through politics, I agree.
No. We just uncovered for what it was. You marinated a turd.
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.
