We did not spend that amount of time on any other subject matters.

Yes, I'm very serious. I do not for the life of me get what it is that you want that you haven't already been given.

As my grandmother says...never argue with fools because outsiders might not know who is who....so Im done with you.

Have fun reveling in your hate.

Correction: the South could not have been built into such a wealthy and powerful region without the labor of slaves.........

I think the industrialization that was well underway in the late 19th century was a custom fit for the new country, which was rich in natural resources and entrepreneurship. America, more or less, was destined to be rich.

The South, if anything, suffered from hanging onto labor-intensive enterprises, while the movement of the age was toward machine efficiencies. So, the South fell behind.

You could even make the argument that slavery has impoverished this country in many ways by holding back progress (and, later, by entrenching attitudes).

It has and will continue to be free, but thanks for your concern.

Just because "everybody" did it does not make it any less abhorrent.........

You have to be very young and very under educated, clearly because you have no reading comprehension skills, if you did, you would have read the apology for what it was worth and saw that we, black people on CD have said that this apology means NOTHING!!!! Also, this was not broadcast majorly so I gather most black people didn't even know it happened.

I don't want anything for you, or any other person in this world. I went to school, I work, I have a happy family...thats all I want. As for other black folk and me as well, I just wish people would stop asking black people to forget about something that was soooo horrible, its never going to happen sir.

Actually I'm very educated and have provided for myself very well in my life so far. I am neither an ignorant or hateful person. Don't pretend to know someone better than you do.

There is a simple question that I do not understand and obviously you have no answer for. What is it that everyone is asking for?

I will not dismiss slavery. I understand how evil it was. But, I also am not willing to pay a dime for it as many black leaders suggest.

You say no reparations, apology is pointless, yet you carry on. What is it that you want?

Hate = undercover race card. Sorry, was just asking a simple question you wouldn't answer and decided to twist.

Nothing I have said is even in the rhealm of hate. Nice try.

It's on the table, right next to your reparations check.
