Senate Backs Apology for Slavery

Females are people? That will shock some people......

I would kiss you for that, but I wouldn't know if I were gay or if you were going to take me from my man. ;)
 
I'm no history expert but didn't the US government from the very beginning do quite a lot to stop the growth of slavery?

And didn't it fight a war that had a lot to do with ending slavery?

And then vote for civil rights for blacks?

If there is anything to apologize for it would be setting up our monstrous welfare system which has kept so many from living the American dream.
 
Yeah, like starting a thread with a demeaning & sexist nickname for a sitting governor. Right on, bro! Lets raise the bar for all peoples unless they are female or Alaskan.

I like woman and Alaskans but what I do not like are phoney baloney sitting govnernors who abuse the power of their office by going after their former bro in laws. It does not matter if the former bro in law was wrong or not abuse of power is abuse of power. Just because the abuser is a woman that does not mean that she should get a pass.

Yes I do demean he biut not becasue she is a woman or an Alaskan but becasue she is a phoney baloney in too many ways go list.

You apparently cannot go you against my posts on an intellectual basis so you come up with some lie(s) about what a knickname that I created means.
Do you what the term Igloo Girl means? You don't do you. You know why you don't know? Becasue I coined it. Since I coined it means what I want it to mean.

If you think that it is demeaning what is demeaning about it? You have no idea do you !! You are just upset because I am making fun of one of your sacred cows.

If you don't want to read posts that poke fun at your sacred cows don't read my posts.
 
I'm not even going to look to see who the idiot Senators are. All I want to know is how many slaves the fools owned and when did they free them?
Are the obviously stupid jerks going to apologize for the bombing of Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. I'm sure the culpability level is the same.
Once again slaves were mostly collected by other black native Africans and then sold to whites. Even if your great great grand parents own slaves you can not apologize for what they did, it's meaningless BS. Only a fool could think it means anything. It's been over 100 years get over it. As to reparations they've been payed and over payed through welfare many times over. So sit down and shut up.

Just curious are you going to write to your two Senators and ask if they were present for the unanomous vote or not. It's that simple if they were pesent they voted for it.

I also wonder if anyone if going to write their Senators as ask why they voted for the appology.

Is anyone going to write.

Sadly I now am living the land that common sense deserted many years ago. You may know it as California, home the liberal Granola Party headed by Babrara the -B- Boxer, DiFi the "ugly" empty minded, and why not lie Nasty Piglousy. In their party what ain't fruits and nuts is flakes and this state now has them in spades. Writing to anyone in an elected office here is like talking to rocks except the rocks are smarter as a rule.
 
I generally support such a move because there is a general benefit from slavery just because they were used to build a country they had no rights in, but it seems an empty gesture. The only way for this to have any meaning would be for the richest, oldest families in the south to apologize because they are the only ones still benefiting directly from slavery. As they form the backbone of the southern republican party I think they would sooner die than say they are sorry, because they aren't.

Fascinating stuff here. Of course you can name these 'oldest, richest families', so the rest of us can be aware of who they are and who they control?

The sons of the confederacy would be a good place to start.

oH YOU HAVE 'SMART ROCKS' Those were popular after the pet rocks craze was over. ;)
 
Who are they apologizing to?

Actually states such as Rhode Island and to a much lesser dergree my state of Connecticut was involved in the slave trade so there were Northeners who benefitted from slavery also. I believe that Liberal bastion learning aka Brown Univerisity in RI was built with slave trade money.

The Northern cotton fabrick mills were rather happy to be able to buy raw material from the LAND OF COTTON and the mills knew about the slaeves but they just looked away, LOOKED AWAY Dixie Land.
 
there are moniker /knickname Nazi's running around

Just thought I would give you a heads up that there are moniker /knickname Nazi's running around here. I bumped into them in other theads. These Nazi's may not like your "Nasty Piglousy" knickname.

I don't know if they will attack you or not but these Nazi's went whacko because I call Palin - 'Igloo Girl' . But who knows these Nazi's may hate Pelosi so they may not whine about you.

The Senate Resolution is non binding and " It Cannot Be Used in Reparations Cases"

I know that this is a feel good action on the part of the Club of One Hundred but apologizing for slavery is about time.

Does anyone think that the Senate should not have appologized ? If so why.

Does anyone think that the Senate should have made this a binding resolution AND made it with reparartions ?

If so why.

Does any think that now that the Senate has passed this resolution Blacks shoudl shut up already, get back to work, and don't cause any more problems ?

Does anyone think that all of the 99 serving Senators should be thrown out of office for passing this resolution ?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Apologizing for something that you did not do...to someone whom you did nothing to, is about as stupid and pathetic as you can get.

They think they are buying favor with the big black thugs that are coming to get them. Next we'll see bumper stickers stating:
"Please Don't hurt me, I Apologized"

Bunch of knee-jerk cowards...all of them.

ok that is tough but honest so all 99 of them are knee-jerk cowards.
 
So the Senate will basically be saying that they're sorry we every brought blacks over here.

I for one would support giving blacks free tickets back to Africa if they promise to stay there.

Yes, that's pretty much true, and I'm also aware that some 85% of free black women in New Orleans also owned slaves, from censuses dating back to before 1800 and afterward, and of pretty substantial free black slave dealers in New Orleans, Charleston, and other markets as well, so it would interesting to see how many blacks would pay up if they were to receive a bill to help pay reparations instead of receiving a check. I think quite a few black people would be in for a surprise and may want to rethink that whole reparations thing.:lol:

In any case, Sherman's March and 'Reconstruction' managed to gut most of the rich white plantations, so I just curious who of them were left to be having such control over the southern Republican Party. There were only about 3,000 such families, the wealth in the South was extremely concentrated, so it shouldn't be hard to verify the claim I was responding to.

I would support the same for Europeans, Asians and Hispanics.
 
Move Past It? We should never forget the horrid things that we have done in the past! When we start to forget History? We start to make the same mistakes again. Never Forget!
