The 'PRIDE'...of Albany Georgia !

[NewHampshire Black Bears]

First off, in one of my previous post I made reference to guilt verses responsibility.

Second I was referring the the US and the fact that I am a US citizen. If we are going on ancestry they we are all (except Native Americans) responsible for our forefathers actions else where in the world.

More to the point. I am a US citizen and I feel that I must accept responsibility (ownership) of the actions taken my this country. I am not guilty (not meant as a pejorative) of the actions but I am a US citizen. I cannot just wash my hands of slavery just because I was born after the abolishment of it and the passing of the Civil Rights Act. It is still part of the US of which I am a citizen.

Now dell,..............Your taking-in the part about...............Native Americans. RIGHT ???
Another GOOD Post 'Tree !

When an employee threatened to contact the EEOC over lower pay, what he got from Paula and her brother.. ' BUBBA ',...yup BUBBA (I'm not making this up) was; "YOU don't have No CIVIL RIGHTS here, my Little...M O N K E Y "

Set your DVR. Wednessday 6/26...Miss PIGGY (Paula Deen) is gonna' have a 'chat' with Matt Lauer And AL ROKKER !

Nonetheless, as ..southwind was quick to remind me, the PRIDE of ALBANY GEORGIA has tons of $$$$, and most likely will land a GIG on Fox News !

No, I'm not responsible for my forefathers actions and yes, I can wash my hands of the guilt of slavery. How many centuries must go by before you feel comfortable washing your hands of a guilt you're not responsible for?

Centuries? Medger Evers was murdered in 1963. Civil rights act was only passed in 1964. Malcom X was murdered in 1965. MLK was murdered in 1968.

And slavery was abolished in 1865 . . . you know, the subject we were talking about.

Slave trade to the Dutch West Indies began in the 1600's

 

[Ms Tree]

We are talking about racism of which slavery was a part.

A Democratic lawmaker from Minnesota criticized Tuesday’s U.S. Supreme Court decision on the Voting Rights Act by calling Justice Clarence Thomas “Uncle Thomas,” then saying he didn’t know “Uncle Tom” was a racist epithet.

"Blacks were denied the right to vote by grandfather clauses (laws that restricted the right to vote to people whose ancestors had voted before the Civil War), poll taxes (fees charged to poor blacks), white primaries (only Democrats could vote, only whites could be Democrats), and literacy tests ("Name all the Vice Presidents and Supreme Court Justices throughout America's history"). Plessy sent this message to southern and border states: Discrimination against blacks is acceptable".

Thanks for helping me out!
