FIRST!!!!

WTF????

wtf

I’m not making excuses for the cracka but he IS a white boy, did we really expect more from him?

I’m glad I am an American. I just wish it didn’t take slavery to get here, but I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in the world.

He just lost his job

Thats crazy

I wonder how high the post count will be ?

http://www.myspace.com/GOTSTRONG

lol@PM…this is stupid and New Jersey still and will remain New York’s unwanted 3rd nipple!

Oh yea, that’s a crazy thing to say. We will probably hear some type of scripted apology by the weekend.

http://www.myspace.com/GOTSTRONG

LMAO @ this fool thinking the civil war was about slavery.

BLACK PEOPLE….WE ACT IGNORANT…BUT WHITE PEOPLE ARE STUPID

Not shocked, not surprised, matter a fact as of today just looking at it like another fool talking out of his ass. Comments as such are just running out of the woodwork these days.

It’s sad because I don’t want to dig in my mind for any type of social, political, moral or historical retort for what he said. Nobody needs to waste any energy on him or why he said what he did – we all know why. It just makes me sigh…

(Rolling eyes with boot in mouth)

the means do not justify the ends….

you can not be happy slavery happened so that we could be over here….

the 9/11 analogy given earlier is an excellent example….

thousands dying is not a price to pay to see that there were gaps in security…again,

the means do not justify the ends

This is like saying The Jewish people should be happy about the Holocaust or they wouldn’t have taken/established Isreal.

What a comment. It shows the arrogance of so many politicians/citizens in this country.

The mindset for people to see life in such a way is profound and it sets a presidence for the behaviour and established law in this Country.

smh

…trust me when I say…many don’t feel much different…many justify means to an end…tell themselves and others lies so they feel comfortable in their wrong doings. Justification.

Human nature.

Wow what a way to start out the day with quotes like this

@i’m just saying

I hear you and as an individual, I feel you. But there is something to be said for those who take responsibility for their actions.

I don’t know if you ever heard of the book Rape of Nanking. It speaks about the Japanese raping, torturing, and murdering the people of Nanking (they felt that Chinese and Koreans were sub-human). This was around 1937… I believe over $100,000 (perhaps even twice that) people were murdered…women set afire from there vaginas while holding their babies, that type of sick stuff. But the Japanese still refuse to acknowledge this massacre to this day. Denying the numbers and sadistic behavior. Most of the youth today would have no clue of their history. Survivors say that though it will not change history, it will allow those to forgive, move on, learn and educate.

Taking responsibility begins a healing process; perhaps not as you the individual, but the as a people in whole.

But this, of course, may be considered an unrealistic ideology, or perhaps even unnecessary, but hey…would it hurt?

I’M SURE HE IS GONNA USE THE INFAMOUS BOUNTY HUNTER EXCUSE OF “I THOUGHT I WAS COOL ENOUGH WITH BLACK PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT”…….WTF!?!?!

What people don’t like to talk about either is how Africans were impacted by diseases from Anglo Saxons due to slavery & migration. Trade, migration & population in close proximity contributed the spread of disease – diseases that they never had and were not introduced to until the trade.

We won’t even go into how missionaries brought not only their Bibles but syphillis into the colonies…

We all know The Man feels he is a gift to man kind.

STICK A FORK IN HIM!

some white peole feel this way…some of them have even tried to convince others that slavery never existed….to be honest Americans of African descent – whose ancestors were slaves will never truly receive compensation (40 acres and a mule)or a true apoloy for what our ancestors went through ….as a Black Woman I believe that it’s time to move on…that being said…HOW DARE THIS a*$ spout such ignorance dribble from his foolish lips!!!!

thanks mami, speak it.

@ Mama Z, this is the third standing o….. I’ve given and it ain’t even lunch time, go head girl tell that truth!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ Bones and IJS: co-sign.

I don’t need the apology. But to tell me that I should be GLAD because it made me American? My people made it possible for there to even BE an America. And being American would have a totally different meaning if it weren’t for the contributions of my people! My hand’s are shaking just thinking about it!

My dad says it all the time: This country was built on Black backs! The roads, the buildings, the inventions. America wouldn’t be what it is today if it hadn’t been for the ingenuity of the slaves who had to find ways to make their work easier. Many of the modern conveniences we now enjoy (appliances, civil infrastructure, etc) were born from the mind of slaves. Slaves who said “I’m tired of washing all these clothes by hand.” or “I’m tired of having to fetch blocks of ice to put in the ‘ice box’ to keep the food from spoiling.” or “God dammit! It’s HOT in here!”

Yeah, it’s the greatest country on earth, but Blacks played a significant role in creating it. You took us from our land, dragged us here in chains, and used us to make you into the superpower that you are today, and you have the the unmitigated gall to tell us that we should be thankful for the privilege?!?!

GTFOH!!!

Politicians when will they learn? they have script writers for a reason. (or are they on strike too?) anyway I’m not gonna say how i really feel on the matter cuz it’s to damn early…And the damn vending machine is out of cranberry juice.

The white people that do make it to heaven are going to be shocked at all the blacks folks up there.

@ tlatrice

Bravo, we also fought in the wars that made America even have it’s name.

@ Baby Please, sho ya right about that ma.

@ Tlatrice, excellent post.

I know I’m kinda late but the Civil War had VERY LITTLE to do with Slavery, more like tring to make America the super nation it is now…

And I also want to put out there how funny it is that people think that blacks need to just GET OVER IT, when there are people that still think like this… as far as thats concerned I don’t think its about us crying over it 24/7 I think its about getting the facts right. Atleast thats my approach…

See this is why they need to set Ted Kaczynski: The Unabomber free, because if anyone deserves a package sent through the mail its this mf, people like him have no need of their mouth and a handy little package from Ted would clear this right up or John Muhammad because again if anyone deserves to be picked off, its this mf right here!!!

@tlatrice

No disrespect to any, but America is NOT the greatest country on earth, perhaps ONE, but not THE. That is what they tell you to keep you placated. Believing in their dream. Educating you on what they want to you to know, but always with control.

Ever been to the UK, Canada, Australia? the list can go on. Sure, third world countries have inner turmoil, but is it really any different then the war on the streets? Street paved with gold they say…lol

Don’t get me wrong, I also, in my own twisted way love America…because I understand it. Lived there for 13 years.

But don’t believe the hype. It’s not America, and the rest of the world. If anything, the rest of the world has been affected by the choices of your country.

I mean, what place preaches the land of the free one minute, and then black lists you for speaking your mind about the president the next. Mind you, they’ve done a good job keeping those believing…tell you to be patriotic and God Bless America all the while shyting in you cereal bowl as you smile and eat.

…okay, lol, I’m done…

I FEEL A MARCH COMING ON….MARCH STRAIGHT TO HIS HOUSE IN TORE UP SLAVERY ERA CLOTHING WITH STRAW HATS, HEAD SCARFES, AND NO SHOES EACH TOTING A BIG WHITE BARREL OF CHITTERLINGS (cause thats what good ole massa let us eat)…GETTING DOWN ON OUR KNEES IN FRONT OF HIS DRIVEWAY TALKING BOUT..THANK U MASSA..WE’S SOOO GRATEFULLS OUR ASSES WERE PILED IN SLAVES SHIPS (even though half of us died and got thrown ova board)..OHH LAWD, JESUS..GOT WHIPS???

the people of New Jersey are going to have to stand up and make some calls…protest…or better yet beat his a$% down…strap a harness to back and make him plow fields all day…let him get a taste of what it felt like and when he dared asked for pay for his hard days work, whip his a$* because after all he should be thankful for the privilege of being treated like an animal

I have to deal with whites that hold this opinion on a daily basis.

Imagine telling a woman…

“You should be happy, your husband was hit by that rich drunk driver, otherwise you would still be poor.”

^^^^^^DONE, LMMFAO FINISHED FINEETO, IT’S A WRAP CAUSE DROCK DONE KILLED ME ON THAT ONE

Wow!! His ignorance leaves me speechless.

Is O Dot really banned???

oh he is going down for that ish

(that debt was more than repaid through the blood and suffering of 650,000 federal soldiers who died or were wounded during the war provoked by slavery.)……..

Right and how many blacks died in this countrys’ wars before we even had the right to vote and were still enslaved?

that fool must have lost his mind.

Just Sit…

I agree…I just had this funky look on my face and shook my head. I said a little something, then I just threw my hands up. Awe hell…

is it not at all possible in his lil pea brain that AFRICANS would have made their own voyages to AMERICA on their won got damned terms when and IF THEY FELT LIKE IT!!!!

Thats the way “WHITE PEOPLE” think!! In their minds they are the black man savior. Thats why they feel superior to us. And sad part about it is a whole lot of black people feel the same way. Did anyone check the article in this months Jet magazine. It was a good article in about how blacks beleive that sterotype about themselves. Check it out!!

There goes another White person telling us Black people how we should feel.

@ John

I did see that. It was sad to read but not surprising.

WOW ignorance is bliss…no one should feel guilty for him wearing that NAPPY ASS RUG…

Yea I was on Concreteloop.com waiting for the update on this one.

Reality check.

He is NOT the only person who feels this way as shameful as it may sound.

@Bones

The above quote was ON POINT !

@ greenivy

we didn’t have to make a voyage, we were here to begin with…

John- That is amazing to me that it is believed that we as blacks believe in the “great white hope”. I really don’t know where they get the statistics from or what region they ask these questions to. The white man has not done a damn thing for me, I got my own high school diploma, both my college degrees and my own job.

I don’t date white men, not because I am racist but because I am not sexually attracted to pale skin. I believe that no matter how “non racists” a whiter person claims to be you always have that relative that will call your spouse or partner a “nigger” in a minute. My race does not make me who I am nor does it limit my ability to do great things. If I am judged by the color of my skin and not by my achievements then that is the ignorance of the interpreter and not that of myself.

If we know our history – we cannot be provoked by typical guys like this.

When Cotton was King and the U.S. was able to clothe the world and and build the strongest economy in human history b/c millions of human beings – slaves were worked to death by the savagery of his seperate and unequal culture. Slaves received nada across the world for the privialge of their lives and hard labor. No representation, no $$.

@bones..lol i’m just shocked at people’s motives and comments…it’s like “you really feel that way”??lol wtf happened to you as a child??? Just watching the news this morning, makes me want to graduate, work 10years, save $50,000 grand and fall off the “grid” my dude…

YALL THINK IM PLAYING….WHAT MY NAME SAY…..AND WHERE MY $25 DOLLARS MTW???

As a former New Jerseyan I am not surprised. Black people are always told to be happy with their lot. All of the intelligent black minds that helped to make this a better country would have been in the motherland. Who knows what the state of Africa would be without european interference. think of this: A people actually proud of their noses, skin, hair and heritage. The black man being what he was designed to be, a man! Yes we are so much bedda off massa! Forgive me for wanting an apology for my great great grandparents! I guess the Jews that are here should be happy Hitler drove them out of Germany!

@ tlatrice

Preach Sista! The White Man may think that if it wasn’t for Slavery we wouldn’t be in America, but if it wasn’t for slavery; they would have died off. first they used the Native Americans to steal their land then killed them off by bringing diseases like Small pox. Then they went to Africa stole and even bought some slaves, who cooked for them, cleaned their stinky drwasers, buils their homes,etc!!!! White ppl would not have made it if it wasn’t for Black Slaves!

—This dude is ignoranr, he probably thinks that Africa is full of poverty, famine, etc but it wouldn’t have been that way if te WHITE MAN didn’t come over take away their culture- Most Africans can’t even speak their native languages b/c they were forced to forget their cultures, etc. Okay ya’ll I’m going to stop now b/c I can go on forever about this subject.

*smh* people still think like this =(

WOW!!!! That’s all I got.

PLEASE LET ME SHOW THAT KraKKa HOW GREATFUL I AM FOR SLAVERY!! I HATE REDNECKS..ESPECIALLY THE REDNECK POLITICIANS!

LOL @ this nut! Sick ass!

The man looks “simple”… New Jersey folks have alot of calling and letter writing to do.

Another white republican talkin’ smack ’bout building’ America, patriotism and values — somethin’ neither he nor his family know about. I’ll let the economy take care of these fools. How much will white privilege and racism be worth when the dollar and the stock market go way down south???

Is the writer’s strike over? ‘Cause this was HILARIOUS!!! Call Letterman, Leno – go over to the iHop and show Arsenio this piece . . . LOL @ “got whips?”!!!! I think I’ll make that my screen marquis today and dare YT to ask me what it means . . .

@Strongblack man- Yes I agree but you have to give some of them the benefit of the doubt. You have white men and women that have never dated inside their race and have no interest either. You have some that have been ousted from their families for being “nigger lovers” those are the ones I am speaking of. I was the only black working in an office and I dealt with whites that never worked with blacks or had conversations with them.

I have a black male friend and when I asked him would he ever date a white girl he said hell no “white girls send you to jail” LMFAOOOO. I laugh because it is true. I know another black guy that dated a white girl had a domestic dispute and is doing 15 years and he didn’t even put 1 hand on her, if she was black she would have been lucky if the police even showed up.

Why, this racist, potato-sack on the head KKK piece of Jersey trash!

HE should be glad there was slavery. had there been no slavery or African colonization, Africa would probably have been powerful.

Lol @ Nubian Goddez. Yeah, they need to sic Ted on him, alright.

Asking white people to “apologize” for slavery is as lame a hustle as modern day Jews demanding money from Swiss banks for the Holocaust.

http://www.denmarkvesey.blogspot.com

Nubian Goddez: ROTFLMBAO!!

Wow. How is it that the most ignorant people end up in politics??

Bones Jordan

@ And… what?

I just refuse to believe that someone actually said this ish in 2008. I just won’t believe it.

All things work together for good for those that love the Lord and who are the called according to His purpose. Some truths are hard to hear but they are the truth all the same. Whatever flaws this country may have, we were all blessed and privileged to be born here. And even if a handful of our ancestors had chosen to come on their own that would not have resulted in the thriving African-American community we have now. And let us not forget that our ancestors were not all overwhelmed by the white mans power – many of them benefitted from selling out their own people. Let’s not play stupid. How in the world could a band of scrawny white men have consistently beat down our strong black brothers and gotten away with so much? Impossible! But guess what? We’re here and there’s no value in holding on to old hurts and struggles. We all need to press forward and recognize that what the devil meant for bad God meant for our good. To doubt that is to doubt God and their is no failure in Him.

Bones

Whats up brotha?

He needs to be put out of his misery TODAY!

1. Before they came Africa already had Great Civilizations (yes more than one), Christianity (Ethiopian), True Democracy, the list goes on. So when we were brought here in shackles and chains it was downgrade.

2. The Civil War had little if anything to do with slavery.

They are becoming more and more public with their racism. We should become more and more public with our Black pride.

@ I think

Excellent!

@ Soul Cry

Bravo Bravo! AND we had communites, and

@Miami Youbetta tell it like it is

How does the the “blood and suffering of 650,000 federal soldiers who died or were wounded” during the civil war, compare to the blood and suffering of 10+ million slaves?

By the way, Blacks fought and died during the Civil War as well.

WTF? Someone need to re-read history. If anyone should be thankful for slavery it should be all the rich MOFO’s who continually benefit from the foundation of this country that was built on slave labor. And hey reject the civil war ain’t got nothing to do with slavery, they teach that sh*t in High school. it was war that was about the same thing that every other war was about money and power. “we’d still be in Africa” yeah and you’re ignorant asses would still be in caves trying to light a fire and your kids would be dead b/c you had no mammy to coddle and feed your good for nothing kids….don’t get me started.

@ M Daddy, you got it doctor, how was your evening and did they hit you up(Lacy D right)?

this dude looks like the type to be jackin off to 2 girls 1 cup on one of the NJCU school/public computers. Look at his brown teeth…ugh…

Has anybody read Inside America’s Black Upper Class by Lawrence Otis Graham?

…there’s a lot of racism & classism amongst Blacks that we have to deal with too? I am all for Black Pride, still it’s madness because we have Blacks turning their noses up at other Blacks, people that suffer from self-hate, buck-n-shufflin, a few still trying to pass still in 2008…madness.

Break into his house at night,knock him unconscious while he’s sleeping,stab him repeatedly until he bleeds to death.

is anyone surprised? really? i’m actually glad he said this so that all of the stupid people (black and white) that like to post “oh stop crying over racism, no one’s racist” and everyone in america is treated the same and anything near that utopian b.s. can finally eat their words (and a nice flaming pile of shyt too).

i’ve been reading the comments and i agree with a lot of them. but when i was saying the same exact stuff (from issues that were deeply embedded or implied in other posts—not outrightly visible such as in this one) I was attacked and called names by some.

WE HAVE TO WAKE UP AND UNDERSTAND NO ONE CARES ABOUT US. WE NEED COMMUNITY AND TO CARE ABOUT AND TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER.

look at what we as a people accomplished in the 50′s and 60′s. that was no fluke. They listened because we hit them in the pocket and we had the whole world listening to us. They viewed us as the intelligent, strong, graceful and charismatic people that we are and could not help but be in awe of us (whether good or bad). They saw that they could not deny us anymore. But every decade since then we’ve been sliding and “giving” them more reason to regress, as the quotes from this idiot (and DOG and IMUS and so on) show that we are definitely regressing and at a furious pace. We give in to their stereotypes and think that what they say and think is golden.

there’s so much i can say here but i’m just so angry and disgusted and i don’t feel like posting another f’ing book on here. WE ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN/WILL MAKE THINGS BETTER. OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS TO COME TOGETHER. THE SOONER THE BETTER.

*enters room*

*shakes head at dumb white folks*

*watching white girls dancing on you-tube*

*g/f yellin at me to go to Panera Bread*

*shuts down computer*

*see ya’ll later*

Excuse the question mark, it was supposed to be:

there’s a lot of racism & classism amongst Blacks that we have to deal with too.

The sad part is he is not the only person who feels like this… no matter how much we feel like we have progressed with racism… but in all actuality we still have so far to go!

I’d like to thank the following people for their support during my lockdown:

@Nicey

I’m a Christian too. And I fully understand the concept of ‘What the devil meant for bad…’

Yes, we are blessed to have been born here, but for him to say that we should be grateful that our ancestors had to go through slavery to bring it about it absolutely absurd. As some other posters said, blacks had already been here anyway and we would have liked the privilege of being able to come in our own time and on our own terms, not being dragged/sold here.

Yes, they had help from our people who helped capture and sold us. But the white man is responsible for his treatment of us once he got us – however he got us. The fact that our people sold us to him did not give him the right to treat us like animals. Slavery could have still existed (as it did in countless other cultures and civilizations prior to the African Slave Trade) without the dehumaniziation and cruelty that pervaded during our enslavement.

Bottom line, I just don’t feel that HE is the one to tell me I should be grateful. Because unfortunately, he and his people are still benefitting from slavery, while our people are still trying to undo a lot of the damage from it.

Mr. O Dot!

Welcome back soulja! Great to see u back!!!

he needs a serious glass of shut the f’ up. I guess he also believes that the projects built in the 50s and 60s were beneficial. I guess denying millions of slaves the right to vote and the right to read were beneficial.

This is why black america needs to wake the hell up. Go to school, get your education at whatever cost so we can show corporate america and political america that we are just as smart, just as civilized and just as capable for success despite the odds.

This is why young black men need to stand up and shape our future.

wow, now we need to get down on our knees everyday and thank God we were slaves….the “underlying racism” in America is really fighting hard to hit the surface…and the leaders of the movement are putting up one hell of a fight!

Slavery was immoral. It was not a debt owed to white people for transit to America. If you weren’t a slaveowner the “apology” does not apply to you. Why defend the actions of people who enslaved men and women for profit.

Y’all should go read the article. The democrate lawmakers want it done but the republican lawmakers don’t see the point.

In the beginning all he had was the Bible and WE had the land. Now, he has the land, and we have the book.

…think about it…

I believe the our Creator the Most High, but religion was formed to contain, maintain, and sustain.

correction: *the* Creator the Most High

@AND… It is in the article, please re-read and you will see that this Johnny Jackass really did say such a thing…

tlatrice… excellent points made

What about Americans who have ancestors who were not enslaved? I guess they missed out on all the fun. huh? I guess as long as you’re an American (see the implied sense of superiority) then the means (slavery) justifies the end (being a “superior” american). ::rolls eyes::

Anyway as far as the Civil War repaying any debts, how could that be when it was not a war of principles protesting the immorality of slavery but rather a war about money—cold hard cash?

Why did his handlers let him speak??? We have enough problems in Jersey. Where the hell did this dude come from????

Why do we get so upset when someone stupid says something ignorant?

Guess what, Barack Obama has an excellent chance of becoming the next President of the United States! Let’s focus on that happening!

Let me just ask this.

Do you think descendents of slaves should get reparations?

S.O.B. I would really like to hear a response from Condoleeza Rice; I’d pay a million dollars to hear her response; I WANT TO HEAR HER RESPONSE!!!

Bones

Yeah man I talked to her this morning as a matter of fact. She is mad cool. She is definately wifey material. I talked to Mickit too she cool as hell

What about Americans who have ancestors who were not enslaved?

*referring to the Transatlantic slave trade*

———

sheesh, victims of the Holocaust still get financially compensated to this very day, but a mere apology from one state to descendants of slaves meets such racist opposition. nobody is asking for handouts because they can keep their little apology for all i care, but just look at the duplicity.

from Wikipedia–

[I]ndividual companies (many of them based in Germany) began to be pressured by survivor groups to compensate former forced laborers . Among them are Deutsche Bank AG, Siemens AG, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW), Volkswagen AG, and Adam Opel GmbH. In response, early in 1999, the German government proclaimed the establishment of a fund with monies from these companies to help needy Holocaust survivors. A similar fund was set up by the Swiss, as was a Hungarian fund for compensation of Holocaust victims and their heirs. At the close of the 1990s, discussions of compensation by insurance companies that had insured Jews before the war and who were later murdered by the Nazis were held. These companies include Alliance, AXA, Assicurazioni Generali, Zürich Financial Services Group, Winterhur, and Baloise Insurance Group. With the help of information about Holocaust victims made available by Yad Vashem, an international commission under former US Secretary of State, Lawrence Eagleburger, has been trying to uncover the names of those who had been insured and died in the Holocaust.The World Jewish Restitution Organization was created to organize these efforts. On behalf of US citizens, the US Foreign Claims Settlement Commission reached agreements with the German government in 1998 and 1999 to compensate Holocaust victims who immigrated to the US after the war.”

Mr.O Dizzle

welcome home brotha. Man bahama was going through it Dawg. But I know they cant keep you down Pimpin

He said a whole bunch of nothing for nothing. I don’t need an apology and don’t know why panels are meeting to discuss giving us one. On thing he is right about is that myself, nor my parents, nor my grandparents, nor my great-grandparents, nor my great-great grandparents were slaves so who the hell are they apologizing too. I’m ecstatic to be an American.

He would say that…obviously he is just another stupid, arrogant, white bastard who probably stereotypes ALL black people. Next week he’ll be recanting this statement and taking pictures with Al Sharpton (like he is the National Black Folks Spokesperson).

@AND… I clicked on source underneath the article they posted and that is where I read what he said..

Break it down @Soul Cry – funny how that worked out, huh?

@Hey

The Jews gonna get their money.

I feel like I’m listening to a broken record:

Some state or federal Black Democratic politician…trying to score points with his/her constituency…and maintain the “WE ARE OPPRESSED/WE ARE VICTIMS” mindset introduces the APOLOGY/REPARATIONS BILL.Theeen some TONE DEAF WHITE REPUBLICAN POLITICIAN…trying to score points with his(it’s always a guy) constituency…and maintain the “THOSE PEOPLE ARE UNGRATEFUL/WANT A HANDOUT/WE BUILT THIS NATION” mindset finds a microphone & blurts cringe-inducing IDIOCY into it.This cycle has been as predictable as sunrise/sunset since the ’70s.

I don’t need an apology.If some state or this nation passes a resolution-it will be neither here nor there to me.As we all know it is ACTIONS that count.It will not be a resolution that triggers what we must do for ourselves as individuals and as a group.

we shouldn’t get monies for slavery.

the only true reperation from this country is free top notch education. that means from pre-school to graduate school and top notch health & dental care

and that surely won’t happen.

monies will only boost Americas economics not our own, seeing how we’ll spend it here in the US.

nobody today participated but whitey’s still sure benefit from black enslavement. they want to believe that their priviledge is based on their work and ingenuity but it was really based on government-sponsored terror.

WOW! Another one bites the dust. I’m pretty sure Reverend Al will be all over this one. Senator will be resigning shortly!

The other thing I don’t like about reparations is that who would actually want their money. I can see it now:

White man: Okay so we going to give you guys 100,000 each and our honest apology as reparations for slavery. So were even, right?

Black man: Yep, we cool now.

The very idea implies that slavery still exists. My forgiveness can’t be bought. What amount of money could make slavery okay? What amount of money would make being sold, separated from your family, beaten, killed, maimed, and degraded worth it? I’m sorry but I think our ancestors would roll over in their graves if we accepted reparations for THEIR suffering. There are no reparations b/c the effects of slavery are still here. People are still mistreated, denied, and degraded (unless there is an up coming election and they want us to vote for them) just like back then. The only difference is that it’s not as out in the open as it used to be but it certainly isn’t dead.

WTF,

@AND…

actually it is *in part* in the US.

On behalf of US citizens, the US Foreign Claims Settlement Commission reached agreements with the German government in 1998 and 1999 to compensate Holocaust victims who immigrated to the US after the war.”

however, i agree that the US is far too proud to follow after other countries–to do so in this instance would essentially be confessing that at least one other country is superior in addressing their own sociopolitical injustices.

for 2008 I’ve declared that I’m going to be more positive, but WHO IS PAYING THIS FOOL??????????

hiswife

@AND… I clicked on source underneath the article they posted and that is where I read what he said..

They must have changed it after I went b/c it wasn’t there when I went. I googled it and found the actual article where he and others were giving their opinon on the subject.

Slavery was immoral. It was not a debt owed to white people for transit to America. If you weren’t a slaveowner the “apology” does not apply to you. Why defend the actions of people who enslaved men and women for profit.

That-inevitably is where the White Idiot Politician who finds a mic is coming from when he open his mouth.

What a selfish self centered jackass. Let me make the decision of whether i want someone to beat me and bring me over to america or select to stay where i was originally born. That’t the problem people like this idiot wants to dominate and tell “african” americans what they know or think they know to be the best for them,with no right whatsoever to do so, not now and you shouldn’t of had it back then. Total idiot.

I am not going to repeat what has been said already but you need to take a look a the real Africa, man that is a beautiful continent with even more beautiful people, I love and I am proud of what my continent is becasue even if people doubt it so far it is the future, and this so called apologetic fool has no idea of what’s going on there beside watching CNN and all these Media liars…

I always say look for yourself first and than believe it!!!

Mmm, kay. Im not black or African American, whatever the PC term is, if that makes a difference for my opinion. I do not think an apology is necessary and if anything its a slap in the face. Everyone is pretty much in agreement that slavery was inhumane and WRONG. Instead of an apology, why not make it an issue to to teach culture and history in schools to teach our kids MORE than just a white man’s version of history?

Also, this man needs to sit down and shut the fkk up. Lets NOT go on and pretend that the Civil War was JUST about freeing the slaves. Nah, it had to do with MONEY and POWER.

NEW DEREON AD CHECK IT OUT

But, mind you, we STILL benefit from the slavery so it is very much relevant.

fck diz white man……….we were livin in peace before they came 2 africa……fck u fck u fck fck u nd ya mutha fckin mama…….u stinky ass hole white ass .

we have to call people out each and every time they say things like this…and the civil war was all about money. i once read somewhere the only reason that lincoln freed the slaves was because it was in the best financial interest of the good ole US of A. here is a copy of the letter I wrote the assemblyan. cudos the comments from queen of sarcasm. she hit the nail on the head

Dear Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll,

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing this letter in response to your comments about slavery. Being as though you think that African Americans should be happy that our ancestors were enslaved, you may not even think twice about my comments. However, I hope my words do not fall upon deaf ears. I grew up in a predominantly white area of South Jersey. As a child, we would have discussions at school where we would discuss our family tree, ancestry, place of origin, etc. Do you know where your family originated? Your first generation family member who made it to America, etc. Most African Americans, including myself, do not because our records were erased from American history. Why, one might ask? Because America was ashamed of what their actions and tried to erase their guilt. I do not believe in reparations or any other handout from the government, however, being from the party of moral beliefs and religion you should be well aware of repentance. One must repent for their sins. Our country has forced other countries and individuals convicted of denying people their basic human rights to apologize, repay debts, etc. However you do not believe that this country should not. Abraham Lincoln once said, “”I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I can not remember when I did not so think, and feel. And yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially upon this judgment and feeling.” Do you believe Hitler and/or Germany owed the Jewish people an apology? Do you believe Saddam Hussein owed the people of Iraq an apology. Do you believe the federal government owed the poor inner-city citizens an apology for flooding its streets with drugs to finance Nicaragua’s Contra rebels fight against communism? Since America is the home of the free and land of the brave, the least it could is admit that there was a period or periods where these basic liberties were not given to all of the people within its borders. If you have any questions or comments, do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you and God bless you!!

For no particular reason-I will point out at this time that ARABS & especially ARAB MUSLIMS were enslaving our ancestors CENTURIES before Whites even got around to leaving Europe.They did in the Eastern Hemisphere to Black People what Whites did in the Western Hemisphere.In fact…the etymology of the word SLAVE comes from the forced labor of SLAVIC tribes.That’s right…WHITES ENSLAVED OTHER WHITES.There seems to be this mindset among Black Americans that because some one is dark-skinned that they are unified in the same “struggle” with us.Really? So why is it that EVEN TODAY Arab Muslims

still KILL AND ENSLAVE BLACK PEOPLE? Anyone ever heard of SUDAN?

@Dr. Funk–You are right about the Arab slave trade of black Africans. They started it first, and finished last.

I’ll be writing him myself. This guy is an idiot.

And I am not surprised but f*ck him, he needs to be called out.

Slavery is definitely not only a “black American thing.” But, we are talking about black American slavery at the moment and this particular Assemblyman’s overall ignorance on the subject of black AMERICAN slavery…

I true ASSHOLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

darfur is exactly that. religious/racial genocide

@DR. FUNK

I appreciate your above post but we are in the USA and before we can’t handle what’s doing on down the street we must handle what’s going on in our own homes. I am very aware the people of damn near every nation have owned their own ppl at some point ( some still do) including american born blacks and africans. But just as Hey said (i do believe it was her) other countries have made amends for their wrong doing first by admitting it and then by offering some sort of repentence. Not that I’m saying anybody owes me anything cuz they don’t but who else makes insensitive comments like these except white men and feel perfectly justified in doing so?

@ AND

Understood.

See my previous “BROKEN RECORD” post about 25 posts up.

1. Where are all the black women like messence and RiRi who love them some cracker juice?

2. I notice alot of funny talk from the Irish; see Bill O’Reilly and Rosie O’Donnell. The Irish were the last group to become “white”. It’s interesting to see how they act out to maintain their position. When the Irish came to America, their position was no better than the former slave. The only benefit they had was white skin, so they “became white”. It would be a joke in England to consider the Irish “white” as in WASP. The hispanics are currently in negotiations for their white card! Ask Cuban Linda!

3. Isn’t it funny how whites don’t want to take blame for the faults of their ancestors yet they are more than willing to accept credit for their accomplishments? Doesn’t that strike you as a bit odd?

4. Where is Oprah and Essence magazine now? Can we expect a town hall meeting on the Oprah show? Holding my breath! Surely this is more important than a “credit card through the booty.”

GO TO HIS SITE AND VOICE YOUR OPINION!!!! HE WILL NOT LIKELY VISIT THIS ONE!

I think his comments are absolutetly tainted with racism and xenophobia but none of you should be surprised when his devilish person comes with that pitiful-looking face to apologise

blacks came to america by force not by choice….our ancestors never wanted to leave their land,tradition,values,civilisations,culture, to come to an unknown land in chains to be beaten, raped,lynched, work day and night free and be humiliated by whites…no..no..no

its funny because some whites are trying to sell the version that our ancestors sold us…wow how much more lies will these people come up with?

but the sad thing is that the majority of blacks in america are so brainwashed they think of africa like hell on earth, granted it is one of the most unstable place on earth but whites in america who are descendants of europeans ran away from europe for the same reasons why some people even leave africa today

whites try to make us believe that africa is all about war..well true! but the deaddliest wars known to manking) world war 1 and2) happened in europe

some of the deadliest diseases(small pox) that deciminated miliion of people started in europe

hunger epidemic such as the “potato famine“ in ireland was one of the reasons that brought millions of irish to the usa

i mean i could write a book but i know some of you get my points

thanks

@AND

The other thing I don’t like about reparations is that who would actually want their money. I can see it now:

White man: Okay so we going to give you guys 100,000 each and our honest apology as reparations for slavery. So were even, right?

Black man: Yep, we cool now.

The very idea implies that slavery still exists. My forgiveness can’t be bought. What amount of money could make slavery okay? What amount of money would make being sold, separated from your family, beaten, killed, maimed, and degraded worth it? I’m sorry but I think our ancestors would roll over in their graves if we accepted reparations for THEIR suffering. There are no reparations b/c the effects of slavery are still here. People are still mistreated, denied, and degraded (unless there is an up coming election and they want us to vote for them) just like back then. The only difference is that it’s not as out in the open as it used to be but it certainly isn’t dead.

@ Dr. Funk, you are so right about degregation and racism towards blacks being less in the open as it were 60 or 100 years ago. Seems like someone has taken a black history and sociology class :].

He’s an idiot.

http://www.babyitaintover.com

Did he really go there!!!!!!!!!

I think we all know that, we could on and on about how that IDIOTs statement made him look more dumb than the average person that doesn’t know anything about history…so let’s just give this whole thing a moment of silence…..oh and if I were him I would run and hide in a deep dark hole!

The civil war wasn’t fought over slavery, it was fought over American economics (North-industrialization and Southern-agricultural production) and the industrial revolution. Just as today, racism(slavery) is a tool used to brain-wash poor people into sending their sons and daughters to war for economic growth for one side of the wealthy fence.

New Jersey is a lost cause! I feel sorry for white people. In this global world, they may become the new face of poor with poor mentality displayed through this politician. We aren’t and shouldn’t be offended by this trash. Next.

Ana Paula, where are you from and what nationality are you?

what in sam hell is this travesty . oh boss man maybe eyes shou dance how bout dat boss man maybe i shou put on my white gloves and dance would you like dat boss man lmao lmao oh please

Dr. Neely Fuller has stated that “if you don’t understand racism/white supremacy, everything else will only confuse you.”

@DR. FUNK

I read your broken record post. Good stuff.

Well Ana Paula,

The statement being commented on is a trace of American civil war and gang activity known as politicians.

Welcome and enjoy your stay.

@awake

Funny as hell.

These dum cracker ass crackers make me sick!

@ Ana Paula

My friend at work is from El Salvador and she left for ther reasons as you. I wish you all the best in your future.

Hi,im an african living in africa like right now(so yeah we have internet too lol) and OMG you guys have made my day! thank you SO much to everyone that defended my dear continent!!!

AMEN Evil Baby!

him and his kind benefited from slavery, so what do you expect him to say. there is another group however who get tax breaks and constant apologies for their historical experience only because as at the turn of the 20th century when they shed their gear and walk the streets in this part of the world they are as white as snow. black does not wash off. it is not as outfit. they came together with us all geared up to fight for fair treatment, as soon there was some action, they seperated themselves from us and blended with the majority.

as black people we cannot expect others to uplift us, thats our job, we have done it before. we just need to help each other more, be mindful of our colonial consciousness, and remember our past, not wear it as an excuse. slavery/colonialism, was psychological, not physical. bondage and oppression is psychological. it can be nurtured out of the next generation.

we need to help each other up the ladder more often and forget about “shades of brown”, who will embarass you or who is not “black enough” to determine who deserves the prize.

@Tyrone Biggums

Will you please stop posting this stupid ass list. You’ve already posted it once and no one responded to the foolishness so like a child who is craving attention you post it again hoping someone will respond this time. Well you got your wish.

@catfish

I am one of the sistah’s that dates outside my own race and have no problem with that. Please don’t confuse my ability to not judge all by one with color blindness, sell-out syndrome, or bigotry.

Typical. He looks as though some of his family members once held the same devious smile underneath a white hood as they terrorized blacks. The truth of the matter is that once whites exterminated the Native Americans for the most part, they had already headed down a road of pure evil. The Union soldiers should be praised because if the South won, our country probably would have been destroyed long ago. The civil war had a handful of core factors, but the key is that slavery was evil, wrong, and was threatening to destroy the fundamental moral and spiritual fabric which the country was originally founded upon. If the Indians we given excellent tax breaks and the opportunity to attend college for free, why is it that we can’t be afforded an apology? People build monuments for animals that are killed trying to save people or that just die in disasters. Nothing has been built for the slaves and individuals are also so reluctant to say sorry. I don’t need an apology. I know it would be insincere and meaningless anyway. Why not apologize by making the school systems better so all of us can really get free?

*were

@Anna Paula.

Honey I’ve been to all those places, and I loved it! I CHOOSE to live in America (you see I was born here and therefore have a choice), and I also CHOOSE to be opinionated. Get over it.

El Salvador is a great place, and I am sad for its term-oil, but again every country INCLUDING AMERICA has its problems. There is nothing wrong with venting your frustrations. (You can attest to that one).

@DROC

LMAO!! That first comment took the cake. Had me singin’ “IS MASSA GONNA SELL US TOMMORRA..”

Thanks for bringing some much needed comic relief to this unfortunate situation. <3

But we have a Holocaust museum… did not even happen on America soil!!!

When did I say that I only went for vacation??? I don’t remember tying those words… but w/e.

Two semesters ago, while trying to fulfill a medical school requirement, I joined an internship program that assisted OBGYN’s with giving pre-natal care to women in all parts of the world. I’ve been to many other places than the ones listed above, and trust me they were anything BUT a vacation. I know what poverty looks and feels like. America has plenty of it, and so do the other countries that I mentioned earlier. But that was hardly the POINT of the post.

I appreciate your “criticism” but I don’t think you quite have a grasp on what I am saying. And as far as you being here in America for seven years, did you take any of that time to open up a book?! I think it would be best for you to Google black history and catch up on your facts before you go toe to toe about American history with someone who has relatives who went through some of the very injustices that Assemblyman Carroll is defending.

ISN’T IT CRAZY THAT A POSTING ABOUT KIM KARDASHIAN GETS MORE REPLIES THAN THIS SH*T!!!

@Tyronne Biggums

The view that White America has of Black People LONG preceeded BET and all of the things you mentioned.

BET isn’t shaping their views of us any more than MTV (which is owned by Viacom, the same company that now owns BET) is shaping their views of their own kids.

I get tired of people blaming BET for everything wrong with our culture. And what about the Blaxpolitation films of the 70s??? What about the sexual revolution in the 60′s (right along side the civil rights movement)?

This man’s statement (and my subsequent anger) has nothing to do with the state of the Black community and everything to do with the arrogance that many (not all) white people have in regards to non-whites.

Tyrone Biggums

@AND

You continue to deny what is going on. White people view us a certain way because of many of the factors I listed and u seem to be unable to accept this. If you were a white politician and stopped on BET by accident you would laugh. All you see is women exploited, young brothas dressed like fools, and little teenagers who idolize this exact behavior.

I don’t recall saying anything about how white ppl in America view black Americans. You’re above statement is asinine for two reasons:

1. You haven’t spoken to all white ppl in America.

2. Iowa is comprised of 93.3% whites and Obama (a half black man so I’m sure he doesn’t count to you) beat out two white folks.

Please stop with your foolishness or at the very least try to stay on topic.

tlatrice

@Tyronne Biggums

Ana Paula

Don’t you people get like a special month or something dedicated to you because of what white people did over 100 years ago?

________________________________________________

Yep, and we also get a holiday, and yet they really don’t amount to much when you aren’t taught about black history in schools and the whole point of Kwanza is to celebrate our African heritage but since so few of us know where our ancestors were actually taken from it all kinda defeats the purpose. Or is it just me?

thank goodness he’s gone

Oh and let me post you what he has to say!

Me:

As a man in public office, you should be ashamed of yourself for your comments in regards to slavery and African Americans. It is beyond me that you would allow such ignorance to proceed from your mouth. It is disgusting and shameful. To the millions of slaves that were brutally raped, murdered,abused: mentally physically & psychologically; you owe an apology.

Mr. Carroll:

Find me one, and I’ll apologize, even though I wasn’t involved. You can reach me at this address.

Me:

To the descendants of such people, you owe an apology.

Mr. Carroll:

Ah, no. Crimes are pesonal, both as respects guilt and suffering. These crimes are simply too remote in time. The perps and the victims are all long dead.

Me:

For you to imply that African Americans should be thankful and “on their knees” in gratitude is disgusting, completely ignorant, and dismissive of the struggles and hardships of African Americans in the United States.

Mr. Carroll:

Nonsense. I understand the price fully. But if the price your ancestors paid was necessary to make you an American — the proudest boast on this planet — you should be grateful they paid it. To downplay the horror of slavery would be foolish; but do denigrate the value of being an American is dumb. All of our ancestors suffered, some more than others. But if that suffering had not occurred, we would not be Americans, and THAT would be a tragedy.

Me:

You have never had to experience racism.

Mr:Carroll

Au, contraire. You should only read some of the racist things which come my way because I dare to assert that race should be irrelevant.

Me:

Who are you and what place do you have to say such a thing? It is because of people like you and this line of ill-logic that minorities in America face the difficulties that they do.

Mr. Carroll:

We are ALL minorities. It’s time — long past time — to stop thinking of ourselves as members of discrete and antgonistic groups and start thinking of ourselves as Americans. No hyphens.

Me:

I am a Jersey resident and in this moment I am ashamed of you and that someone like you represents our state. Your statements were hurtful and repulsive. You have managed to embarrass your state, the Republican party, and more-so yourself. I can not begin to express to you the crassness and tacky sentiment you have portrayed. It is truly a dishonor for you to represent New Jersey. It is my hope that you are never re-elected to public office because you do not deserve the honor.

Mr:Carroll

In your entire note, you cite not one fact and make not one argument. Curious. I note that not a single American of Irish descent wrote to me, complaining that I was insensitive to famine when I averred that “we” should be grateful for whatever price our ancestors paid to make us Americans.

History is NOT personal and it should not be the source of grudges.

he is just some stupid white ho who is as ignorant as the early man. do not expect much from such people who are forgetting to kno that white people also suffered slavery. nobody in this country is american, black or white u are either from europe or africa. native americans are the real americans even tho………..

^^^excuese my typos

@ Kee-Gee

They are excused. Hell that post was so on point I don’t even remeber reading any.

Tyrone:

White people view us a certain way because of many of the factors I listed and u seem to be unable to accept this. If you were a white politician and stopped on BET by accident you would laugh. All you see is women exploited, young brothas dressed like fools, and little teenagers who idolize this exact behavior.

In a time before BET — when black folks went to school and church in a jacket and tie and skirts and dresses, when we marched in the ’60s in our Sunday finest, before the drugs were plowed into our communities and services removed, and before VietNam whites were lynching us. How they view us? Are you serious?? They killed MLK and Medgar Evers who were far from that bs list you threw up. Excuse me, and what is your point about how they see us is? You need to accept that the accelerated growth of America and its enormous wealth acquired in its short existence is due in great part to slavery and black economic exploitation. If the slaves were allowed to share in that wealth they could have passed that kind of wealth down to their families. BTW, insofar as education, we paid taxes to states and were not even allowed to use state services or go to state universities. I want to be reimbursed for that. So, while you are waiting for that cab to stop for you in midtown, get an education about Black American history.

@Happy New Year

Don’t even bother. He would rather talk about Beyonce, Rihanna, and BET.

Bringing the coons over here from Africa was a big mistake!They have screwed this country up no other group of people! We need to fix it. We need to send them all back to Africa!

Sir,

I am very disappointed in the comments you made regarding slavery. To suggest that Blacks should get on their knees every single day and thank the Lord for slavery is disgusting. Sir, I am sure you are compensated for your work, correct? Can you tell me of any other group of people who were FORCED onto land, FORCED to work the land for FREE and then told they should be grateful because they are now citizens?

As for the lame excuse that so many Americans use today (that slavery occurred ages ago and “we didn’t do it” etc.), I would argue that the effects are still obvious today – and EVERY descendant of the forefathers who had slaves BENEFITTED! Don’t you think the disparity in class, crime and the like may have something to do with the fact that – only 60 years ago – Blacks were still second-class citizens? How great it must’ve been for our forefathers: free labor for years! Think that didn’t help their children? Or, at the very least, give them a major advantage over those who worked for free? Or do you think the economic disadvantages held by African-Americans today is from sheer bad luck? Or just mismanagement of funds? Get real.

Methinks you confuse the Revolutionary War with Slavery because slavery wasn’t the price of anything. If you disagree, feel free to show me this contract between captors and servants that indicated slaves would be rewarded for their free labor (along with torture, rape, etc.) with citizenship. And then feel free to explain then where 40 acres and a mule came from – seeing as how we already had an agreement. Please save the sarcasm. I’ll be waiting

(Posted in another note to Mr. Carroll waiting for the response)

Fix It

Bringing the coons over here from Africa was a big mistake!They have screwed this country up no other group of people! We need to fix it. We need to send them all back to Africa!

__________________________________________________

I have no problem in going back to Africa but you and yours will front the bill. My ancestors didn’t book the cruise ship that brought them here and neither will I.

I am really disenchanted by his comments and for all the blogging you people can do… I wish more would muster up the courage and take a few minutes to express your concern with Mr. Carroll’s comments. I can’t begin to explain how much we as a people have a voice only if we would choose to use it. The world isn’t fair or a pretty rosie place, but it is what we make it. I can’t encourage you enough to SAY SOMETHING & DO SOMETHING. All talk no action = empty words.

@Ana Paula- The only post I read of yours was the “you people get a month thing”. Please do not refer to african americans as “you people” that is very derogatory. And yes we have a month, the shortest month in the whole year. Hispanics were given a heritage month as well. Does that make all the wrong doing any better.. This is like molesting a child and then taking it out for icecream don’t you think..

@ AND, thank you so much for addressin that comment. I am at work and really did not have time to go completly off on Ms. Ana Paula.

@AND

Let ‘em have it. Fix it, we will gladly go back, claim the natural resources on the continent and charge you murderous, enslaving, corrupt, lazy, cave men the cost of reparations, 100% and then some.

@Ana Paula

Ever thought about how the civil war got started in your country and who smuggled in the guns to kill the civilians. Ever wonder why and how the gangs got into your country. Think ’bout it before you defend America. And don’t act like y’all don’t have a race problem in your country. All the so-called Spanish descendants run (steal and loot) the country and all the Indians (mestizos) who are tryin’ and dyin’ to come here are impoverished. STFU and STFD

@Ana Paula I am really trying to give your ignorance the benefit of the doubts, being that you are not originally from American and may not truly understand the magnitude of your comments, but you have one more time to post an ignorant ass comment and I am going to let you have it. Being someone that has immigrated from a place with poverty and gangs, can you imagine if someone took you from your home against your will and put you back in this place that you escaped from. Now imagine that you are not from there, dont speak the language, have been seperated from your children and brothers and sisters, never to see them again, to work for free in a field doing the work that a machine could do, with little water and food in the hot sun. Now with that said…..

@ Ana Paula – GIRL IS THAT PIC REALLY YOU?? IF SO CAN WE GET TOGETHER???

@Happy New Year You are going to have me shoutin at work. (Jumps up throughs one hand in the air and starts clapping)

@Kee-Gee—— LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…. All I can say is OKAY..

Get HER….

To me she playing ignorant.. You don’t need a college degree to know when something is right and something is wrong..

@And and Kee-Gee

Ya’ll got me laughing for real in here! Cuz I done read a couple of Ms. Ana’a posts and thought “GET OFF THIS BOARD!!!”

@ And I am trying not to go there. It has been a long week.

Where is Bones, did he leave. I have been waiting for him to say something, but I think the ladies have represented today.

It was fun

hiswife, And, and tlatrice hold it down, I have a headache.

But I will come back it necessary LOL

Ana Paul why don’t YOU leave and go to Canada or Australia? Why are you suggesting others do what you yourself aren’t even doing? BTW, there is also a month for hispanics and other ethnicities. WHAT IS YOUR POINT?

Ana Paula

What do you people want from the white man??? He made a comment and it bothers you so much, so what answer are you all looking for and I mean this. I am new here and in my country we just try to forget about the past b/c that is exactly what it is, the past!

—————————————————–

If this is true why did you leave? You should have just forgotten about the gangs and stayed your azz in El Salvador right? PHONY. I don’t even believe you are from there…

For the record Ana Paula

Black History Month was established in 1976 by Afro-Americans for the Study of Afro-American Life and History.[1] The month-long celebration was an expansion of Negro History Week, which was established in 1926 by Carter G. Woodson, director of what was then known as the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History.

History books had barely begun covering black history when the tradition of Black History Month was started. At that point, most representation of blacks in history books was only in reference to the low social position they held, with the exception of George Washington Carver. Black History Month can also be referred to as African-American History Month, or African Heritage Month. One of the few U.S. history works at that time told from an African American perspective was W.E.B. DuBois’ 1935 work “Black Reconstruction.”

In the United Kingdom (UK), Black History Month is celebrated in the month of October. The official guide to Black History Month in the UK[] is published by Sugar Media, Ltd., who produce 100,000 copies nationwide.[2]

Part of the aim of Black History Month is to expose the harms of racial prejudice and to cultivate black self-esteem following centuries of socio-economic oppression[citation needed]. It is also an opportunity to recognize significant contributions to society made by people with African heritage.

each one teach one….

More evidence that you aren’t really from El Salvador. Nice try yt..you are a coward for not posing your views as you really are. Pretending to be a ‘minority’ is corny.

Everyone please write this **** and express yourself to the fullest “carrollpol@aol.com”

here is his email address

You need to pursue that damn unibrow you are sporting in that picture.

Again if that is so true (parents killed in Civil War) why don’t YOU just get over it, move back to the El and forget you ever had a brother?

GTFOH!!! He will definitely be on CNN or in some paper issuing an apology while he is packing his desk up in a box on Monday…

by the way Ana paula…

my grandmother is 94, she was not a slave but her grandfather was and she remembers the stories and tells them.

she also maybe older or younger in her time blacks couldn’t own birth certificates

she may not have been here for slavery but she was sure here for jim crow and all of the other horrible histories of this country.

not taking anything away from what your family has gone through but it’s really a parallel.

There’s been over 260 messages left on this board. Instead of wasting our time writing here, why don’t we write to him, and let him know how we feel about his statement. I mean that 260 letters that can make a difference. Who voted for this guy anyway? New Jersey is one of the worst states in this country. I’m definitely writing him. If anyone has his mailing address (preferably his home), I’d like to send him a letter or two.

I’m sick of all the apologies too, but keep your crazy to a minimum sir. Really.

“that debt was more than repaid through the blood and suffering of 650,000 federal soldiers who died or were wounded during the war provoked by slavery”

—————————————————

B/C I’m SO thankful and justified for the debt that my ancestors paid HANGING from all those trees…so thankful..UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

white ppl will pay through our success, stay strong and continue to move foward together folks..together.

If anybody should be apologizing for slavery and every other atrocity committed against blacks over the last 150 years it should be the Democrat Party! They alone are the one political party that suported slavery, black codes, Jim Crow, lynching, Dred Scott decision, the Missouri Compromise, Kansas-Nebraska Act, etc. and thwarted all attempts to abolish it (opposing the Emancipation Proclamation, 13th, 14th, & 15th amendments to the constitution.

@Ana Paula-

Miss Thang es el negro

And so are most of us so what is your point.

You have dark skin and i’m sure you are mistaken for being mixed african americans all the time… Black is beautiful.. We make the most beautiful chidren… I don’t know about you and your racial issues but I am proud to be a NEGRO and I don’t need a white man to apologize to me nor a hispanic telling me to get over it…

Walk a mile in a man’s shoes before you judge…

Now Woodie why you gonna’ make me holla out loud at work

Black & Conservative: so that makes the Republican Party which continues to engage Nixon’s Southern Strategy any better?

There’s been over 260 messages left on this board. Instead of wasting our time writing here, why don’t we write to him, and let him know how we feel about his statement. I mean that 260 letters that can make a difference. Who voted for this guy anyway? New Jersey is one of the worst states in this country. I’m definitely writing him. If anyone has his mailing address (preferably his home), I’d like to send him a letter or two.

I’ve already sent him an email and will probably send another.

ANA PAULA IS THAT YOU IN THE PIC?????

Why are you causing trouble Ana Paula? You’re upsetting a lot of people.

Black & Conservative

If anybody should be apologizing for slavery and every other atrocity committed against blacks over the last 150 years it should be the Democrat Party! They alone are the one political party that suported slavery, black codes, Jim Crow, lynching, Dred Scott decision, the Missouri Compromise, Kansas-Nebraska Act, etc. and thwarted all attempts to abolish it (opposing the Emancipation Proclamation, 13th, 14th, & 15th amendments to the constitution. To the point of forming the “slave holding” Confederate States of America!

Irony of all ironies being that 90% of all Black

VOTERS blindly support this wretched party.A party that has played the VICTIM/OPPRESSION/HANDOUT CARD for 40+ years now when dealing with us.Oh yeah & then there’s the history you mention.

I’m happy for Barack Obama even as I depise his party.

@ANA PAULA

You may be pissing people off on this site…but if that REEEALLY is you…DAYUM GURL!;->

When I lived in Miami I dated your Brasilian twin.

BTW @ ANA PAULA

One of businesses is a clothing company.

If you have a myspace…I’ll send you a tee.

@All

ya’ll know “Ana Paula” on another post claiming to be some model on some scandinavian country. But ya’ll know how to spot a lying dog already though.

No Ana, you wish I were as you describe. I just called you out and now you are showin’ yo’ stank a**. Must suck to be white, no privilege, and have an adjustable rate overinflated mortgage on a broken down trailer home.

I’m sure there are a lot of guys who thank God everyday for slavery! If it wasn’t for slavery they never would have made it over here to be with all these white girls! God forbid if they would have been stuck in africa with a bunch of ugly nappy head black women. Half of you on here are probably a bunch of hypocrites, upset with this man for making that comment, when you were probably just on the RB/KK message board dogging black women! no comment made by some white man against black people will ever be as offensive as the negative views black men have against their own race.

This man is a jerk. You can expect someone who wears a toupee (man’s wig) to say stupid ish!

@cutie pie

We couldn’t send them a telegram anyway because we did not have the technology then nor have we figured out yet how to use a telegram. And even if we did have telegrams, the other problem was we didn’t know how to write.

Wow..what an idiot. Yes, today since white people went to africa and grabbed the best black people and broke their spirit and mind..Yes, I am glad to be here because they left Africa in in a completely horrible state and honestly how on earth would it look if they had of done all that and America had nothing to show for it. Now, I or any other black person can’t say where they would be glad to be if they had of left Africa alone. What if they go to China and rob China of its best men and women, take their body, mind, and spirit away? Do we think China would be the same China it is today? And is he really expecting me to thank 650k soldiers for fighting for a problem they caused? Whoever instituted slavery here caused 650k soldiers to lose their lives. I’m so tired of white people acting like slavery happened some time when dinasours were here. I’m so tired of them acting like slavery was just making someone work for free. The way that they instituted slavery has caused so many issues it is unreal. Again, take another race and rape their women, castrate their men, break up families, take children, take their mind so they think they are inferior, make them hate each other, install fear, kill them for fun….do it for 400 years…and see if their race is in the best shape but it comforts white people not to think about this part. It makes them feel better to say “they should be glad”.

too bad our OWN people sold us into slavery as well @ that time.And anytime you ROB an area on a REGULAR basis of it’s RAW MATERIALS and NATURAL RESOURCES,you cripple it’s ability to sustain itself.

I emailed him & you’llsee what i said ( which was a quick & to the point , i was at work) & here is his response

My kind. Cute.

I’ll tell you what. I have to run again in 2009. Why don’t you run against me and we can discuss … slavery, an issue of the most pressing importance to the people of the 25th Legislative district.

Heck, we might even have a sidebar and discuss the divine right of kings.

If you’ve got something substantive to say, say it. I’ll abide your thoughts.

This offends me as a black person and as an African woman. My family is hugely successful and we did this without being enslaved. I would not choose that heritage over any native African one.

I called his office today. Secretary refused to comment. She said she heard nothing about it. HIS NUMBER IS (973) 539-8113.CALL HIS ASS LEAVE A MESSAGE-Sick and tired of white people showing their true racist colors and apologizn when they get caught.

WOODIE@7:30-go ‘head boy-suck that white dick. You are a stupid ass uncle tom. When black people as a whole are being attacked it doesn’t matter the problems you have on the inside. You don’t take sides against the family-and start echoing the history that white people have taught you. Who wrote the history books? You are still a slave mentally u sick little punk ass-makn excuses for white people. Do a little research-slavery was sanctioned by pope Nicholas V. who gave the order to the portuguese to use blacks as slaves., you are a good little negro-just what white people like—kinder suprise-kinder suprise:-).

Gosh I don’t want to write a speech but I may have to.

African’s if given the opportunity will succeed. The president of Liberia went to Harvard and graduated with honors in the MBA program. She’s back in her country trying to do big things. The IMF and World Bank are ripping not only Africa off but Asia and South America. Every year, billions of dollars lines the pocket of white men because they are in accord with treaties signed by chiefs who could neither write nor read.

The problem with Africa is the same as the problem with America, South America, and other countries. People who are elected but once they get to office become corrupt and interested in making themselves and their comrades rich. But Africa is self-sufficient and is growing steadily. Most of the world depends on its resources i.e. diamonds, coffee, rubber, rice, oil, and such.

Ignorance is Definitely Bliss…

@ blackgirl

don’t jump to conclusions.I ain’t on the other side.THIS INFO IS NOT EVEN FROM A WHITE PUBLICATION.THIS IS THE TRUTH THAT U CAN’T FACE.AFRICANS TOOK PRISONERS OF WAR AND ENSLAVED THEM IN THIER OWN COUNTRIES AND HELD THEM AS INDENTURED SERVANTS AS WELL.I WAS HOMESCHOOLED ON DR.BEN, J.A. RODGERS,OSCAR L. BEARD,LEONARD JEFFRIES, AS WELL AS OTHER UNPUBLISHED BLACK AUTHORS.MY POP’S IS ONE O’ THE ORIGINAL 13 BLACK PANTHERS…we don’t play when it comes to our history

In the 1400-1500′s, during socio- political repositioning in Africa, Europeans chose a favorite side to win between African nations at war and supplied that side with guns, a superior instrument of war @ that time.Once victorious, the African side with guns rounded up prisoners of war and exchanged them for more guns or other barter.

LEARN TO ARGUE A POINT WITHOUT ANGER.

“….one should get down on one’s knees every single day and thank the Lord that such price was paid.”

you know, i was with him here. i thank my ancestors always for what they had to endure “in the day” for us to have what we do now.

but WTF is the rest of that ish??

@blackgirl

And if u read the 7:30 comment correctly, u would’ve seen that it says “as well”.I am not, nor will I ever defend or uphold such a statement as the one the Assemblyman made. I was merely stating fact.

Furthermore, I believe had we not come here by force and trickery, our Holocaust yes I said Holocaust of one hundred million strong anscestors would not have perished @ the hands of the Middle Passage and this country would probably be non- existent.This country was built on the blood of our unpaid mothers and fathers for lack of a White workforce.

correction :

Holocaust of 100 mil would’ve never occured

In the 1400-1500’s, during socio- political repositioning in Africa, Europeans chose a favorite side to win between African nations at war and supplied that side with guns, a superior instrument of war @ that time.Once victorious, the African side with guns rounded up prisoners of war and exchanged them for more guns or other barter.

Kinda’ sounds like what they are doin’ to us right here right now. Teach Woodie!

Disgusted but not surprised. The state will hafta force this apology outta him.

@happy new year

I’m glad somebody sees what I’m sayin…

Historically, the societies that flourished to the highest degrees usually had some f*cked up slavery sh*t!For example, Egypt and Mexico.Free labor is a muvvafucca!

BLACK NATIONALISM IS THE ONLY WAY TO FREEDOM FROM OPPRESSION

@ELLE You are so right…I totally agree..You made a great point.

This is like saying The Jewish people should be happy about the Holocaust or they wouldn’t have taken/established Isreal.

What a comment. It shows the arrogance of so many politicians/citizens in this country.

The mindset for people to see life in such a way is profound and it sets a presidence for the behaviour and established law in this Country.

smh

I asked our brothers and sisters in Africa to email this guy, but they said “Ug, what is this ‘email’, ug”. So I asked them to send a drummail instead. Our African brothers and sisters said they would right after they shrink a few heads and analyze a Coke bottle.

I Zimbra!

Blacks, its time to stop making excuses and just get a job. Slavery was sooo long ago, its time to get over it. All you people are doing is milking a dry cow. Whites don’t owe you a gosh darn thing, shoot I didn’t enslave you why should I have to pay. You kill each other and expect people to take you seriously, well it’s not going to happen. You get a whole month and a fake x-mas day. What more do you people want?

I dont even know how I ‘m suppose to feel when u hear this things .Thats why blacks need not turn on themselves but find help each other.Rather this dumb brothas keep killing eachother.Its almost like cultural genocide.

what an idiot! and what makes him think we’d still be in africa, we got plenty folks here now that aint here cuz of slavery

just another white person provin their retardedness

Lmao @ the fools up in here purposely trying to start fires with racist tones. Fools needing attention.

A cracker’s mentality!

More low-down fundie white trash; should we even be surprised, y’all?

I’m sorry that there was slavery, i’m sorry there was the holocaust, i’m sorry there is genocide, murderers, pedophiles, con artists… the list could go on and on. Apologizing for something that happened so long ago does not make it any better. There need to be a realization in the black community that there are no longer victims but survivors, this is the only way to become better. Living in the past does nothing but hold ppl back. Be proud and show racists people how good you are by how great u become.

Unfortunately I believe we are going to hear more of this hate language since Barack Obamas’ showing in majority white Iowa.

Look forward to seeing these hate-mongers spewing their vitriol. JUST DON’T TAKE THE BAIT PEOPLE. Let’s not allow them to make us lose focus on the importance of the next national election, regardless of who the nominees are on both sides.

This a an old hate-mongering trick. WE ARE WAY TOO INTELLIGENT FOR THIS NONSENSE NOW. THINK BEFORE YOU ACT. STAY CALM AND KEEP POSITIVE.

strong black men:

will u please enlighten me? i don’t think i said anythin wrong

i don’t think it’s about forgettin, but there is a diff. in knowing where u came from and being stuck there. He made comments, that’s his POV if he wants to be backwards let him but to drag the racism of ignorant people around and lettin that affect u is really what is keepin ppl down

anyway i apologize if i offended u

It’s not just his POV. As a politician, he has the power, vested in him by the statues of the State of New Jersey to legislate his POV. We have to respond to this ignorance so that we are not held back (repressed) and can move forward. And since you are talk of moving on (very New Age), surely you realize that past wrongs must be acknowledge and reconciled (esp. genocide) so that healing and progress can take place.

As for Blacks get a job: Tell yourself that in the mirror when this economy collapses thanks to the theiving corporate and governmental (read white) corruption and the unions and regulatory agencies (read white ethnic) who rolled over.

Another thing. We must teach our kids to be self employed. Not strive to rise in the ranks of corporate america. That whole structure is not made for us. It’s bull-ish!! 9 times outta 10 an African American male or female will not become a millionare from working at Dell, AT&T or Microsoft. If you crack $100k you are one of the lucky ones. We gotta run our own ish there is not other way.

cracker ass cracker…

Funny how you dont see any of the white girl worshipping uncle toms …having anything of value to comment about on this post ( 2008 Lady & kevin, oreo cookie….they are scared to post at sites like these…but put something about nasty kim karashin ass and they all over it. We still got problems in our own back yard folks.

But On a Brighter note thank you most of every one who did post ..sadly not as much as kims nasty info..but You guys wrote such intelligent and well thought out commentary..that everything I wanted to comment on was already stated..LUV FOR MY PEEPS FOR REAL WHEN I SEE UNITY LIKE THIS…I called the number to his office from the prev post and left his ass a serious message ,some history lesson, current affaris…and on just being a decent human being…his box is full now ..(hope is from this out rage) but please keep trying if you haven’t..

Like I said nothing of value !…..Every one please ignore all the trolls and self haters!

OREO!!! what is up wit the name change!!

Ok, I am scared and I am backing away. {slowly}

I am a big gurl, I can handle more than u think. BRING IT!!

I dont like the fact that u did that knowing I wasnt going to let it go like dat. I dont like the fact that you are still on here reading what I type to find out if I fell for your game. I REALLY don’t like the fact that I actually am falling for your damn game. NOW GET BACK HERE AND RESPOND. I am giving you wnat you want. Are you taking???

Ok, maybe I was wrong. Or maybe u want me to think I was wrong, but all along I was right and U dont want to admit that I was right and you are wrong.

LOL

@ Bones and IJS: co-sign.

I don’t need the apology. But to tell me that I should be GLAD because it made me American? My people made it possible for there to even BE an America. And being American would have a totally different meaning if it weren’t for the contributions of my people! My hand’s are shaking just thinking about it!

My dad says it all the time: This country was built on Black backs! The roads, the buildings, the inventions. America wouldn’t be what it is today if it hadn’t been for the ingenuity of the slaves who had to find ways to make their work easier. Many of the modern conveniences we now enjoy (appliances, civil infrastructure, etc) were born from the mind of slaves. Slaves who said “I’m tired of washing all these clothes by hand.” or “I’m tired of having to fetch blocks of ice to put in the ‘ice box’ to keep the food from spoiling.” or “God dammit! It’s HOT in here!”

Yeah, it’s the greatest country on earth, but Blacks played a significant role in creating it. You took us from our land, dragged us here in chains, and used us to make you into the superpower that you are today, and you have the the unmitigated gall to tell us that we should be thankful for the privilege?!?!

GTFOH!!!

I co-sign too. But there’s nothing wrong with utilising the corporate structure as long as it’s for our own agenda. The Japanese, French and Chinese don’t let anybody take over the own companies but are quick to snap up any corporation that’s useful to their own ends.

I can’t even comment until I calm the hell down!

I love my people and and proud our accomplishments and value my grandmother (who is 81) and greatgrandmother’s (who was born in 1905 and 97 when she died) stuggles. I am proud of the legacy they left me, teaching me though example of the power of education. They both graduated from college during a time when it was hard to get a HS diploma. I just say this as encouragement to those who may not know how powerful we are. There is no reason for us to be in the state we are in, reagrdless of what the white man has done, because we have been overcoming thier oppression for centuries. THAT is our history, doing the impossible. We have got to address these issues of prejudice and racism, but it is MORE important to address the issues that we are having amongst ourselves. I know I am going to piss off someone and that is not my intention, I just know that we can do better, we were given better!

I love this website and the blogs are interesting. How can I leave blogs on this website?

Duh! I just found out.

Oh but it gets better. Here’s what what one of your PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES think of your black ass. According to Ron Paul, the Civil Rights Act is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and he wants to do away with it. Gotta love whitey:

The Trouble With Forced Integration

by Rep. Ron Paul, MD

Mr. Speaker, I rise to explain my objection to H.Res. 676 [hailing the 40th anniversary of the 1964 Civil Rights Act]. I certainly join my colleagues in urging Americans to celebrate the progress this country has made in race relations. However, contrary to the claims of the supporters of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the sponsors of H.Res. 676, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 did not improve race relations or enhance freedom. Instead, the forced integration dictated by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 increased racial tensions while diminishing individual liberty (I.E. WHITE FOLKS!).

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 gave the federal government unprecedented power over the hiring, employee relations, and customer service practices of every business in the country. The result was a massive violation of the rights of private property and contract, which are the bedrocks of free society. The federal government has no legitimate authority to infringe on the rights of private property owners (I.E. WHITE FOLKS) to use their property as they please and to form (or not form) contracts with terms mutually agreeable to all parties. The rights of all private property owners, even those whose actions decent people find abhorrent, must be respected if we are to maintain a free society.

This expansion of federal power was based on an erroneous interpretation of the congressional power to regulate interstate commerce. The framers of the Constitution intended the interstate commerce clause to create a free trade zone among the states, not to give the federal government regulatory power over every business that has any connection with interstate commerce.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 not only violated the Constitution and reduced individual liberty; it also failed to achieve its stated goals of promoting racial harmony and a color-blind society. Federal bureaucrats and judges cannot read minds to see if actions are motivated by racism. Therefore, the only way the federal government could ensure an employer was not violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was to ensure that the racial composition of a business’s workforce matched the racial composition of a bureaucrat or judge’s defined body of potential employees. Thus, bureaucrats began forcing employers to hire by racial quota. Racial quotas have not contributed to racial harmony or advanced the goal of a color-blind society. Instead, these quotas encouraged racial balkanization, and fostered racial strife.

Of course, America has made great strides in race relations over the past forty years. However, this progress is due to changes in public attitudes and private efforts. Relations between the races have improved despite, not because of, the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

In conclusion, Mr. Speaker, while I join the sponsors of H.Res. 676 in promoting racial harmony and individual liberty, the fact is the Civil Rights Act of 1964 did not accomplish these goals. Instead, this law unconstitutionally expanded federal power, thus reducing liberty. Furthermore, by prompting raced-based quotas, this law undermined efforts to achieve a color-blind society and increased racial strife. Therefore, I must oppose H.Res. 676.

Dr. Ron Paul is a Republican member of Congress from Texas.

LMAO at this idiot.

the funny part is that this thing looks like he took time to sit down and right it as aposed to a Trnt Lott slip of the tounge. all you can do is laught cuz homie’s career is over he. He better “Get down on his knees and pray”

Reparations? Hell no! So niggers can spend it on crack and hos? This white guilt has go to stop!

Its one thing to apologize for slavery…but its another to tell us we should “Get Down on Our Knees,” and be thankful. Well, after the comment made by Dog- I’m not even surprised. I guess he’ll be reaching out to Rev. Al Sharpton shortly.

And…..

Oh but it gets better. Here’s what what one of your PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES think of your black ass. According to Ron Paul, the Civil Rights Act is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and he wants to do away with it. Gotta love whitey

*****************************************************

Well, I have to agree that integration did not do much to achieve racial harmony. Nooses anyone? It insures that we (namely mid-class Blks) are not denied of opportunities that we rightfully deserve from hard work. That is what’s most important. Whether or not you wanna consort with White ppl is your prerogative.

When you consider the days of segregation, Blk ppl had something to prove cuz we had to fight for ours & we demanded better of each other, therefore, we did better.

Ever notice now how Blk ppl nowadays have low expectations of one another? For example, what is so noteworthy in not having illegitimate kids? What is so noteworthy in not selling drugs? What is so noteworthy in taking care of your children? What is so noteworthy in being independent? What is so noteworthy in not spending a day in jail?

Those are things that you’re not supposed to do. Rather than turning those things into false accomlishments, why not live your life with a moral compass & use common sense?

He’s a bigger POS than I thought.

damn cracka ass republicans. they dont stop do they? SMH
