I'm in for that! My dad is black with an Irish heritage, so apparently I got double shafted by the world. :laugh2:

The ignorant blacks, the ones who really do believe they deserve special treatment because they happened to be born into a race that used to be slaves.
Precisely. Every race has at one point been enslaved by another, or even by their own, at one point in history. To claim special circumstances because it happened to you is ridiculous. Black Africans were the ones selling their fellow black Africans to the white slave traders. Feudalism, as you pointed out, was slavery, and common throughout much of Europe for a long time. The Jews have been in and out of slavery for their entire history; Babylonians, Egyptians, Assyrians, etc.Of course, the fact that the word slave comes from the word "slav" which was a group of white, eastern Europeans that were abducted and traded as slaves by the dark skinned North Africans is ignored. Or that the Jews were largely a light skinned race during all of their time in slavery. The serfdom experienced by the Russian peasants might as well have been slavery.
I brought this up in one of my Senior Seminars in history as we were discussing Eastern Europe, and a black girl flipped out. The Fact is that most races have been enslaved by another for a long period of time somewhere in history. The slavery in America just happens to be the most recent.

Something else most African-extraction Blacks don't want to admit to - if they want reparations, they should go after Africa. After all, it was their very own people who sold them out in the first place!
Compare it to the war on drugs, who is to blame, the people who grow,process and ship it north or the people who buy it. If there was no market there would be no product to sell to people who don't want it.
Personally I think we should poison the drugs we do seize and then let it back into the drug flow.
I seem to recall the eradication efforts the govt took a few years ago, sprayed mexican pot fields with a burn down herbicide called Paraquat. 'Killed all the plants, and dried out the leaves, which they went ahead and harvested and sent north. Hilarity ensued.Personally I think we should poison the drugs we do seize and then let it back into the drug flow.

Well, thank you then for doing me the favor.Queue the folks that will brand me a racist for this: I do not condone slavery. However, it has existed in some form for as long as man has been on Earth. Each race of people has been enslaved at some point by another or at least persecuted for their race. That being said, next time a black person starts ranting about needing reparations for slavery, ask them where their black ass would be had their ancestors NOT been brought to this country as slaves? Ask them if their own lives are better today in America than it would be had their ancestors stayed in Africa.
