African Americans need to talk to Jews about slavery.  It might put this subject in its place.

IBTL.




Indeed!  The Jews are far closer in time to their time of anguish.  It's still within living memory!  Do Jews constantly whine and lean on the Holocost as a crutch rather than pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps.  Black people (African American) could learn alot from the experience and behavior of the Jews.

In future I am to be referred to as a European American.  To do otherwise would be insensitive.  Don't call me Cracker (it's the other "C" word).

Let the whiteys make an ass of themselves if they want to.  I can't imagine what they're hoping to really accomplish.

Yeah parading around in chains for a short time will definately make up for slavery. I can see it now, the NAACP, Black Panther's , and Nation of Islam, are all going to send each and every white person in chains a big thank you, and no African-American will ever feel ill twoard white people or mention opression again. Finally someone has found a way to cure our sickness sowed deep into the soil turned by the laboring hands of slaves.

That's freaking hilarious.

However, I don't think those white folks have gotten enough of their self-absorbed morally superior guilt out of their system - and I suggest they come over to my house, where they can really identify with the slaves' suffering by cutting my lawn, finishing my basement, and doing some body work on my mustang.



That's cruelty, DK-Prof, that's downright cruel, making somebody do body work and rust work. You'll be known as the new Simon Legree . Be careful your office doesn't get picketed by the Young and Deluded.




I think that would be better "penitence" that holding up traffic in an attention-whoring show.




Well, where else are they going to find people who A) will listen to them and B) won't harm them....



Quite frankly - if they wanted to do something meaningful, they could go into economically depressed inner cities and help build houses or something.  I guess inconveniencing people and getting lots of attention is somehow more "penitent" that actually helping "Habitat for HUmanity" do something worthwhile.




Yeah, they can join Jimmy Carter, and play away at being carpenters. Of course, being the ex-prez, he enjoys SS protection, 24-7. You know, men with guns, badges, and backup. The protesters don't enjoy that privilege, but live in a just as hermetically sealed mayonnaise jar of a dream world as Jimmeh the Peanut Farmer does . If they are lucky, they'll just get ignored. But it's more likely they'll get mugged or raped by some of the people they are allegedly trying to help.  

Ah, yes, irony. And Darwin. What a combo.

I'm not apologizing to anyone about this. It's past and history. Those goofs need to learn to deal with it. And I'm sure some of my ancestors owned slaves. However, I don't and never have (probably). Nothing to say "I'm sorry" for.

Sage,

Despite the appeal of such a woman, I'll have to caution you about making that kind of statement.

There is slavery going on today.  Yes, some of it here in the USA.  They call it "Human Trafficking" and is a form of underground slavery where women (and sometimes children) are kidnapped and sold into sexual slavery.  It's devestatingly common for women from ex-soviet countries to be sucked into this slavery, but it also happens to vulnerable women in just about any country.  I'd explain more, but I'll get depressed if I go farther into it.  Please read up on it.




always someone that lets the facts get in the way of a good story, huh, Sarge?

It is pathetic that so many people can't find anything better to do with their time. Maybe they'll pick up trash from the streets as they march. Nah- that would be too useful and constructive.

This is funny beyond belief! So can all my ancestors who had to get out of Ireland because they were on the losing side against the British now claim 'reparations' because they emigrated to the US?…

"The Lifeline Expedition to the USA will take place from September 25 to October 20 2004. We will have a core team of Africans, Africans of the Diaspora (especially African Americans) and white Americans and Europeans We will visit the following places -
 
Sept 25-30 Annapolis
Sept 30-Oct2 Baltimore
Oct 2-6 Boston
Oct 6-8 Newport RI
Oct 8-11 New York
Oct 11-14 Charleston
Oct 14-20 Richmond (including a walk from Jamestown to Williamsburg.)
 
Annapolis is a very significant location for the start of the expedition. It was here on Sept 29th 1767 that Kunta Kinte, the hero of Alex Haley's novel Roots, is supposed to have arrived on the slave ship Lord Ligonier. The plan is that we will have a re-enactment there on that date, with the opportunity to express apology in what will probably be a very public context.
 
Over the course of the whole expedition, we will aim to do the following:

Pray "on site with insight" at places associated with the slave trade.

Walk in the yokes and chains and bring the message of apology to Africans of the Diaspora.

Raise awareness of the legacy of the slave trade and ongoing slavery and racism today through the media and the leaflets we give out.

Visit city halls and encourage cities which have not apologised for their involvement in the slave trade to consider doing so."
