the memorial: there is NO REASON ON EARTH a young child should be traumatized by that installation. if you are so shut down inside that you can not understand the terror and shame created by the instillation...

my suggestion is you stay away from kids...okay? you are fucked up inside.... and the black community WILL NEVER EVER progress UNTIL the black community accept half the blame for the situation. basic spiritual math 101.

it is NOT okay to take a baby, the repository for all human hope and accomplishment and impart to that child that the child is fucked and the world owes then a living for ever because the child is black. trust me this is disastrous in every regard.

this is a self fulfilling prophecy, you tell a child he is worthless and then fill that child with FALSE pride.. you get the black community. time for you to invest in some reality and a bit of research....

are you aware that black literacy was higher in the 50s then now? same with men staying with their families...

Actually not at all but that's the "reason" cited by many people. All white people are guilty because, in the past, white people enslaved black people.

I'm just saying that looking at the past is what keeps the Middle East in constant crises, Serbia, Turkey, Iraq, etc. We should focus on the very real racism happening in America RIGHT NOW instead of looking back hundreds of years trying to reconcile wounds that can only heal by looking forward.

It's a very complex issue and I do not know any answers, just how I try to conduct myself. I try to get along with ALL races and colors. But that's just me I guess. I care more about a person's behavior and if they are a good person or not. What they look like doesn't matter to me AT ALL.

So my thought was why did we in the last hundred years put up statues to the Confederacy? The war was over and they lost. A state capital up until recently flew the confederate flag over it. My understanding is they were symbols of racism and were being used to send a message. Seems a bit sick.

Now we have a new monument. Pretty tough imagery in this thing. Makes people think. I am not totally comfortable with it but it is not mine to say.

I am still missing the child, fucked up inside stuff. I think the work is effective.

Literacy world wide is super high thanks to texting. I doubt we have back slid. I will look into it.

We have been telling them they are inferior for years. They don’t have to accept it but the message was there. I am not sure why we felt comfortable telling that message.

It's not just that, but people in some of those areas will openly tell people their families owned slaves..

The south is all kinds of fucked up and it's not just white people though. Blacks in the south act like some of the most getho fuck offs you've ever seen.

Not all of course but if you figure a large percentage of white people are dumb rednecks in the south you will see a equal representation of dumb ass black people acting like getho thugs in the south.

Both groups feed off each other's hate, both groups are to blame IMO. Granted whites did use govt and police to disenfranchise black people so to some degree I suspect acting like getho thugs is a response to that by saying fuck the govt kinda thing.

and then sold the unlucky fucks to the Arabs. hence the word SLAVE. look it up, goggle is your friend. here if you are too busy

All of the wealth the Dutch currently enjoy as a nation is from 300 years of almost 300 years of capturing, transporting and selling humans for profit. The same country that feels theft if digital content, hosting ut, and distributing it is moral and legal. Let that sink in...

That's because white people in the South could not (and cannot) get over the fact that they lost a war fought over them owning other people. Their pride will not let them admit it.

Plus, they overcompensate because these "manly men of the South" come from a bunch of girl's named States like 'Carolina', 'Georgia', 'Florida' and 'Virginia' and call their fathers 'Daddy'. So they own guns, drive cars in circles (NASCAR) and act like THEY are the "real tough Americans". There's a lot of good to say about the South but this aspect of it - misplaced Southern pride - is dead wrong.

honestly you are confusing the Hillary supporters lack of reality to the southern good old boys. it's not pride in a false sense like 'ethnic' pride or 'sexual pride'. they think you are an asshole, that's all there is too it. and if you question their toughness, step up like a man to one of them and mention that fact to them in person. :2 cents:

and if you wanna call out the rednecks call them out for the highest mortality rate in battle, and in general the most loses in war...

and THAT my friend is why you have the luxury of calling them cunts and assholes BECAUSE the rednecks died in the thousands to protect your rights to run your mouth

so go fuck yourself :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
