This is ridiculous and melodramatic. I agree that Thunder has spoken in some unwarranted absolutes in some of his posts, but you're overreacting and putting yourself on a high horse that you haven't earned.

She's absolutely correct and you know it. Are you black or a black apologist? Stop holding the black man down. It's been well over 200 years.
 
So.... uhh.....

WHERE MAH CRACKAS AT?
 
you have already made one thread about race. leave your discussion about AA over there.

I think not. AA is one of the main factors in this discussion. Do not think to order me.
 
No...clinging to the white people are evil and black people were the only opressed and we should CONTINUE to relive 1776 in 2011 all the while ignoring every other nation and races reality with regards to slavery makes you...hmmm...seeeeensitive...no...thats just the pretense...what is a better word...help me out...

see...you ignored the native hsitory on this continent...their own brutal treatment of 'slaves'...you ignore the whole continent of Africa and its history from 800BC to MODERN DAY...ummm...

yeah...

Because we are talking about ..ahem the US? And racial inequality because of racism in the US. Native Americans and the history of Africa are not really on topic. They could however be thrown in to derail the actual points he and others were making.

no, you have chosen to insert AA into this thread because the other one is getting ignored.

we are not talking about AA in this thread.

I agree with this. We must let loose of the past. Come on, people. How many of you today are responsible for the past? Let alone responsible for what happened 200 years ago?

Do not mini-mod me, Thunder. You know full well that Affirmative Action is an integral part of the issue of racial tension.

You do not control the discussion.

Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it, period.

what about crimes that occured...say...66 years ago?

should we forget about those crimes and just move on? let bygones be bygones?

Would you say that about any other discussion of history? I find it odd that one of the only times people say some variation of "we must let loose of the past" is when we're talking about the history of blacks and racism in this country. Nobody ever says that when in a discussion about the enlightenment or the revolutionary war.

We're discussing history. Just because this part of history is more controversial doesn't mean it shouldn't be talked about.
 
strawman attacks..are symptomatic of a lost debate or being too lazy to continue debating.
So is completely avoiding the parts of the discussion that make you look foolish but that doesnt stop you. Over and over and over. But...maybe we should discuss that "in another thread", right?

I daresay you're right, that the black men who are obsessed with race would have vengeance---that they could be the oppressor, and avenge those who wronged them in the past.

The black race must forgive, and try to forget. If not fully forget then remember yet forgive. You do not see American Indians so up in arms as black people are today.
 
Would you say that about any other discussion of history?....

yeah, its funny how blacks MUST forget about things that happened in the 60s, 70s, and even early 80s....but Jews are free to harp on the Holocaust & seek retribution & compensation 66 years since the last concentration camp was freed.

ironic huh?

And remembering history is completely different than obsessing over history or using history as a justification for being an apologist.

Do you want somebody who says you, "you know...I'll bet your life is really, really hard. I mean, being black must be incredibly difficult and you must suffer so much for it. I really wish I could to more to boost you up."

Or, do you want somebody who says, "Hey, you graduate from FSU? Awesome, what's your major, do you like it? How's the wife and kids?"

In other words, you want to be pitied and identified as a down trodden black man, or do you want to be respected and viewed as an indedendent, hardworking, contributing member of society? We don't have to forget slavery for the second choice, but we damn sure have to obsess over it for the first

Were 6 million black people rounded up, thrown into cells, and then burned alive??
 
And remembering history is completely different than obsessing over history or using history as a justification for being an apologist...

then WHY do you apply this only to black people?

what about Jews? what about Armenians? what about the Irish?

Don't take it out on the innocent, for they have done no wrong.

I should state it as this: Stop using the past as a reason to dredge up racial tension in the present. I do not see American Indians who, at every chance, create racial tensions against the white folk.
