First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.

We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude?

Hmmmmm....Gratitude for dragging them to this country against their will in chains; treating them like property if they were lucky, animals if they weren't; forcing them to renounce their language, heritage, religion; treating them, even today, as lesser thans....those ungrateful bastards!
Pat Buchanan: The slavery apologist. "Suuuuuuure we enslaved them, beat them, treated them as lower than farm animals...But we taught 'em about JAYzus, so it's all for the best!"
Sick fucker.
The entire post is ridiculous, but this part really got on my nerves:
So in your opinion, it's permissible to enslave an entire group of people based on nothing more than their skin color and hold them in severe oppression for generations with no respect whatsoever for their human rights, as long as you jam your religion down their throats. Disgusting.
ok, so he' saying if i hit him in the head with a brick, chain him, take him to an island, and beat him, force him to work, but force Cthulhuism on him, it's ok.
Methinks Buchanan has never heard of the prosperous African kingdoms of Mali and Timbuktu, which were thriving before Africans ever arrived to America.
I wonder how Buchanan would feel if his ancestors had been the ones who were forced into slavery, packed like sardines onto ships with deplorable conditions, tortured, raped, dehumanized, spat upon, and treated like beasts of burden. Buchanan, shut the heck up. You don't know what the heck you're talking about.
Christian Racism at it's core.
As long as we SAVE THEM under the guise of Christianity, then that absolves us of any guilt.
Praise Jesus!!! *Rolls eyes*
Oh, Padraig, Padraig, Padraig...
Let me level with you. Invading, plundering, conquering, raping and enslaving rarely endears one person to another.
It's not as if, back in the homeland of Ireland, our ancestors were too fond of the Vikings, now were they? It didn't matter if they founded Dublin, it doesn't fucking matter. Ultimately, rape, murder and slavery aren't a good thing, numbnuts.
So unless you're going to go praise the people who murdered, raped and enslaved your ancestors, I suggest you shut the fuck up right now.
Shit like this comes out of Politicians mouths, and you wonder why they're still pissed?
When the people in power quit acting like racists bastards then maybe the blacks will calm down.
@ RogueMerc:
Hmm... Pretty Much EVERYWHERE IN AFRICA before European Colonists fucked it over, raped the land for shiny rocks, and instituted racist policies that still continue today, and then left, but not before installing dictators as leaders for many countries after they left the area in disarray.
Yeah. There.
"They got their freedom... In the 60s... There are people still alive who fought for their freedom.
Thats why they are pissed. The people being oppressed by 'whitey' are still alive."
On the other hand, some of the white folk who fought for their freedom are alive as well... I bet they're pissed at those ungrateful niggers!
"So unless you're going to go praise the people who murdered, raped and enslaved your ancestors, I suggest you shut the fuck up right now."
Well, that's what both Sweden and Novgorod did to my ancestors, but I don't hold any particular grievances. Maybe that's because they didn't succumb to self-pity and actually turned out alright.
"Thanks, white people, for kidnapping my ancestors from their homeland, exposing them to diseases they had no defense against during long trips across oceans, holding auctions as if they were just livestock (and legally, they were), whipping, hanging, and raping them, disowning your daughters if they had children with one, even though you collected your own harem of slaves, then waging a war all so they could stay slaves, then spending decades ever after trying to keep them down so you could feel better about it. That was mighty white a' you!"
That what ya lookin' for Pat, you fucking moron?
My ancestors invented apartheid, and I still think this ass needs to hold a golf club in a thunder storm.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
