This is quite profound...
I am going to reveal to you 7 magic words.
With these words you will have a new understanding of issues you
have contemplated at length.
If these words were spoken years ago we would have entirely
different influences in music and movies, and language.
If these words were spoken years ago, we would have a much smaller
national deficit. If these words were spoken years ago, we would have had far less
turmoil in America , we would have all of our great cities prospering as
well as the small towns.
If these words were spoken years ago, we would have far less
violence and have far less need for gun control.
Ready ?
Scroll down.....
" We should have picked our own cotton."

Hardly profound.
Definitely racist.
This must be the "ugly" part of UHH. Very ugly.

Some times the truth is ugly.

Some may perceive that but think how the course of history may have changed. Slavery was an abomination and, had there been no slaves there would not have been a civil war nor the situation we find in our ethnic mix today. We can't blame the situation totally on the whites as the tribal chiefs in Africa were the ones that rounded up their own people and sold them to the slave traders.

As a matter of fact I did, not because of his color but because I thought that he was more eminently qualified in every way than that sorry assed incumbent that we have inherited whose only claim to his prior legislative significance was voting "present".

How about these words:
While cotton was being picked, maybe we should have truly honored the end of slavery in 1863 instead of continuing the practice of prejudice through segregation and violence, and therefore oppressing blacks for almost a century before the Civil Rights movement finally got matters in the right direction. Maybe that would have helped too.

It was tragic that they weren't allowed to stay in Africa in the countries where there wasn't corruption, violence, brutality and crime. Oh wait, that didn't exist there then, or now or ever in black run countries or regions. You can call that racist but how a fact can be racist needs to be answered in the process.

By then it was too late. The damage had been done. If we did not have slaves to start with the latter problems would never have arose. Man's inhumanity to man. As an aside, the American Indians were known to have raided neighboring tribes and used captives (mostly women and children) for slaves. Since they had no monoculture to concentrate their efforts on they didn't have a lot of real use for slaves so that probably kept the numbers low. Plus during hard times it was tough enough feeding themselves without the added burden of the slaves.

Ambrose, I fully agree with you however, segregation in the south is a thing of the past. Civil Rights is law. Growing up in a prejudice society is no an easy matter. I ask questions about why am I suppose to hate someone because of the color of their skin. No answer I ever heard satisfied me. Something else to think about, no laws ever passed will ever change the hearts of man. Without getting religious on you, I have found that only God can do that.
I knew a young black woman once who had ask me if I were prejudice against Blacks. A co-work who was Black told her that I hated Blacks. He wanted me fired. Of course I told her no. Then she wanted to know what I thought about slavery. I posed a question to her - Where would she be living today if slavery had not come to America? Her answer, "Oh my God"! It hit her right between the eyes. You should have seen the look on her face. Of course slavery was nothing for us whites to be proud of but God brought good out of the bad, just like the Jews.
Know this also, Some Blacks are just as prejudice against whites as some whites are against blacks. Only the Law of Love can change that.
