See below, it applies to you.

It really dulls the cutting blades too!


Yeah... Like I said, you just lost any high ground position you might ever take on the benefits of freedom and liberty cause... ya know... slavery wasn't THAT bad and all.

So YOUR truth is "freedom and liberty aren't that important... so long as masta is good to me."

These days we want to openly ban muslims, not blacks! Hooray!





If Trump's candidacy and the character of his supporters shows us anything, it's that we've hardly "come" anywhere.
 

You must understand that an accurate portrayal of history is not a wedge except to those who are in denial. That you feel any mention of slavery serves to divide us along racial barriers is strange. Are you unable to use the information to better appreciate where we are today? Do you really think black people have forgotten?

It's a curious trait of conservative thinkers that they would rather exist in stagnant denial rather than to have the conversation on race move forward. Just declaring that something is in the past does not mitigate the harm and, in fact, perpetuates it through willful ignorance. Bill O'Reily is a douche.
 
That was her exact point.

Her entire speech was about how far we've come and how great we are because of it. Your irrational hatred isn't letting you think clearly if you heard her speech and thought it was divisive.

Except she only thinks the country has been great for 8 years.

Come on Josie, lets not do the whole stupid political bull**** gotchya game?

That's like me saying that since Trumps slogan is "make america great again" therefor he thinks america isn't great.

Michelle's actions over the last 8 years should be plenty enough for anyone to see that she loves her country and has been a great first lady. And I've said the same thing of Laura Bush, so please don't go down that road.

I'm not interested in the "who loves the country more" BS.
 
I guess Michelle Obama's mentioning of slaves building the White House has the Right Wing babbermouth is a tizzy. So much so that he decided to brag about slaves being well fed and housed.

O' Reilly forgot to mention that those particular slaves were well fed, well housed and.... were probably also well paid. US slavery was not a monolithic system and slaves who were skilled tradesmen (I imagine that those building the White House fit this category well) were often allowed to take paying side jobs.

At the end of the day, skilled craftsmanship is a difficult to cultivate by pure force. Thus, the common incentive was that slaves who were also skilled craftsmen had the ability to work side jobs for cash, or if contracted to a project, were tipped either directly or indirectly in cash. Of course, the worked for their owner for free. Skilled slaves also built a certain amount of Confederate armament. Though slaves, they were better paid than the CSA soldiers using it.

You mean the ones they kidnapped from other tribes?

Right, to feed demand from white slaveowners in the South in the U.S. who otherwise aren't at fault at all for the slave trade.... :roll:
 

Sure. Skilled slaves were privileged, as compared to field hands, in that society.

Yes, that is true. Such skilled slaves had the ability to earn more than unskilled, but free whites.

Even field hands, however, were not usually automatically abused. Though not as valuable as skilled slaves, they were still a substantial investment. Well run plantations used a system of carrots and sticks to keep things running. Sure, violence was used, but too much of that triggered revolts. The fact that it would be put down eventually was not going to do a hated owner living .25 miles away any good. Likewise, avoidable revolts were bad for all owners so owners tended to "police their own". This usually involved declining to cooperate with another overly (key term) abusive, problem causing owner.

Instead, the threat of violence coupled with rewards was used. The rewards included the ability by slaves to claim a portion of the crop, the ability to spend days cultivating private plots and to sell the produce, or to receive pay for work on Sundays. There were also thousands of slaves on the Sea Islands with no direct contact with their owners. Instead, they brought "X" amount of rice to a dock as tribute at harvest. They were then left alone on a month by month basis.

He's a dumbass.

That's not entirely accurate. He's well educated having graduated from both Boston College and Harvard.

Pompous arrogant douchenozzle seem to fit him better.
 
It's liberal typical. They have animosity already toward O'Reilly, Rush and others from the start, so they aren't going to really process the Truth of the statements!

Yes because those are such men of character...
 
They actually ...ARE! ...... and far better character than obama or the Clintons...Far, far, far better!!!!!!

Rush Limpdick is a man of character? He's a drug addict. According to him he should be in jail.



And then there's those 4 marriages...


I can see why you would look up to him.
 


What is the Agenda? Slavery bad? Is there anyone who actually disagree with that? Well expect O'reilly and whole, wing of the Republican Party!!!


OK...let me rephrase!...Is there anyone Sane who actually disagree with that?


Diving Mullah

A lot of people have been married multiple times....there are a lot of duds out there....

Drug addict...NOT! He had surgery, became addicted to pain killers because of it, like thousands of other people have...including many politicians, lawyers, judges and actors. He rehabed and has not had any problem since....and that was many years ago.

The guy is brilliant, a self made man and I respect his take on many subjects. He's far and away a better person than obama or the Clintons.

If Bill or Hillary Clinton are your idols, than you don't have a leg to stand on here.
 

so yeah you are

Go see Hillary's America. See how the party of Slavery were Democrats...not Republicans! Get an education....playing now at a theater near you.
 
so yeah you are

And you Can't Handle it, even thou it was 150 years ago....you have to make out like it's happening now.

Is slavery wrong now? Yes!

Was it back then? No!

It was Standard Operating Procedure .....mostly by Democrats!
 
So YOUR truth is "freedom and liberty aren't that important... so long as masta is good to me."

:lamo

Freedom and Liberty back then had nothing to do with F&L today! Apples and Oranges.

here's a thought for you to contemplate: a decent human being then is the same as a decent human being NOW

and offal is still offal

that's why there was a war...decent human beings saw the offense and they always will

like right now for instance
 
These days we want to openly ban muslims, not blacks! Hooray!

Convoluted thinking...wrong thread, start another one on Muslims.
 
It's the lies they have trouble believing. Why liberals and others can't be more like you escapes me.

Escapes me too. They love pointing fingers when it was them that screwed up America!
