Unofficial corporate slavery was going on in the 40s. It was discovered recently in Florida (although the enslaved were Hispanics).

Only to someone who doesn't think too well.

Have you read Dr. Horowitz's work [ The Origin of AIDS and HIV May Not Be What You Have Learned ] that Rev. Wright referenced at the National Press Club. I'm not inclined to believe the US government did it, but I fully understand why others might give it more credence.

Quote:
MODERATOR: In your sermon, you said the government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color. So I ask you: Do you honestly believe your statement and those words?
WRIGHT: Have you read Horowitz's book, "Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola," whoever wrote that question? Have you read "Medical Apartheid"? You've read it?
(UNKNOWN): Do you honestly believe that (OFF-MIKE)
WRIGHT: Oh, are you -- is that one of the reporters?
MODERATOR: No questions -
(CROSSTALK)
WRIGHT: No questions from the floor. I read different things. As I said to my members, if you haven't read things, then you can't -- based on this Tuskegee experiment and based on what has happened to Africans in this country, I believe our government is capable of doing anything.
In fact, in fact, in fact, one of the -- one of the responses to what Saddam Hussein had in terms of biological warfare was a non- question, because all we had to do was check the sales records. We sold him those biological weapons that he was using against his own people.
So any time a government can put together biological warfare to kill people, and then get angry when those people use what we sold them, yes, I believe we are capable.

Not only is Trinity a member of the UCC, but they one of the largest, if not the largest, contributer to the support of the UCC and its missions. The polity of the denomination is such that they wouldn't have to provide a cent to the national denomination.

Race baiters like Wright are a dime a dozen here in Atlanta. They make their whole careers out of vicitimizing their congregations and placing blame on anyone other than themselves. Wright can spew what ever non-sense he wants, I am just shocked that so many whites in this country defend him. Yet the same individuals wouldnt tolerate a white pastor saying the EXACT things directed at minorities. Call it white guilt or self loathing but I for one will not let anyone blame me for something that I havent done just because I am white! Sad that so many other whites have NO problem with it.

What are your thoughts on the Tuskegee Experiment?

Can you maybe see why after something like that happened, something like that AIDS theory might be believable to African Americans?

And there are two people on this thread that I wouldn't allow in my home.
From what i've read of your threads and the people you tend to agree with, Barney Frank and Rev. Wright in one house would be an act of war. So who's it going to be...your favorite homosexual finance queen or your favorite bigoted America hater.

Yep, liberals have to make hard choices too unfortunately.
