Ok, if you say so.

Slave owners were not racist and pro confederate sites are good sources for MLK threads.

Sorry guys if I come across as a Black racist. Growing up consistantley being the only black kid in had made me tough, and very sensitive about my race. I am quickly on the defensive, and m ready to defend my race with all I got. I think they should have waited about 60 years when the true racists die off.

What makes the site a pro confederate site? Because they post US Census data that you didn't know?

The first slave owner, happened to be black
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Johnson_(colonist)

Is Wikipedia a pro confederate site also?

I don't think the threat of Jim Crow can cease to be a threat until all of the people of the generation who remember life before the Civil Rights Era have died off. Only then can the South as a region--as a whole--can be said to have truly changed.

400 years of entrenched, institutional racism cannot be wiped clean in less than 40. That's simply the way it is.



Not sure what all this has to do with my post. I'm talking about voting rights and you're talking about your outdoor activities. Okay. I too lived and worked in the South, and came away convinced more than ever that that region cannot be trusted with minority rights just yet. Have things changed? Somewhat. But there's still a LOT of racist attitudes down there. It's appalling.
Talk about voting rights HAHA you don't even need an ID anymore what brought that on anyway. Heck you can come to the USA visit Disneyland,vote,go to Disney world,vote go to DC,vote and then send and absentee ballot from France,It's a joke anymore now that you brought it up

Al Sharpton is a race baiter and a racist. The fact that you're defending him is pretty telling about where you stand.

If this were the sixties, you might have a point, but it's not so you don't.

That was to whole point of the Court's decision.

It's not the sixties, so why are we enforcing a sixties era law that addressed a sixties era problem as though it were still the sixties?

But your Parents had nothing to do with you being the only black kid in a neighborhood? Where you went to school and how you were brought up?

True racists,,,,,lmao A racist is a racist no matter the flavor.
