After 148 years, Mississippi finally ratifies 13th Amendment, which banned slavery

Re: After 148 years, Mississippi finally ratifies 13th Amendment, which banned slaver

Are you implying I am stupid because I'm a leftie?

Of course not. How could you ever arrive at such a conclusion? ?

It was satire mixed with irony, and you never know when it might make an appearance.

"57 states".......

You're being too kind.

Back in 2008, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-Nev.) encouragement of Obama was unequivocal. He was wowed by Obama's oratorical gifts and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama -- a "light-skinned" African American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one," as he said privately. Reid was convinced, in fact, that Obama's race would help him more than hurt him in a bid for the Democratic nomination.

Or maybe that's just cynical.

Where has Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton been all these years!?!?

Was this like an open secret or something?

Extremists on either side, Left or Right, are not as bright as they seem to think they are. Your average wingnut and libtard have no clue what it takes to run a nation as large as this one. Wingnuts think the government should not be involved with building bridges, damns and schools, Libtards think we should put unqualified people in charge of the project.

Comon sense. The republicans should try using it once in a while instead of relying on paranoid fears of blacks "taking over the country">

I think the fact that Obama is half white helped him win. Yes. So too did the fact that he went to Harvard. Absolutely.

What exactly are you trying to say, anyway?

Since when is electing a person with no managerial experience or business experience 'common sense'. BHO was elected because of the color of his skin, not the content of his character, which is why the leftists want as few inquiries into his past as possible.

What part do you not understand?

Going to Harvard University, where affirmative action played a major role in Obama's admittance and his selection to HLR, does not immediately qualify anyone to be President. His color was the deciding factor in the elections, not competence, and it was affirmative action on an international scale.

Don't forget, george washington was a farmer. Obama could even be related to him or tom jefferson.
 
Re: After 148 years, Mississippi finally ratifies 13th Amendment, which banned slaver

After watching the film, which depicts the political fight to pass the 13th Amendment, Batra did some research. He learned that the amendment was ratified after three-fourths of the states backed it in December 1865. Four remaining states all eventually ratified the amendment -- except for Mississippi. Mississippi voted to ratify the amendment in 1995 but failed to make it official by notifying the U.S. Archivist.

:lamo

Waiting until 1995 was funny enough but 2013 made my day. Way too funny.

And the Equal Right Amendment for women has yet to be ratified anywhere. So what's your point? Oh, right. You don't have one.

You didn't even give her a chance to reply and you accuse her of not having a point?:confused:

Oh please. That is so lame.

I never knew being Black in America was so advantageous. Damn. Sounds like us poor disadvantaged white guys are really missing out on all the opportunities. /s


DOes anyone other than me see how stupid that sounds.

I wasn't trying to make any particular point other than observation a somewhat humorous nuance of America's sometimes spotted history. Obviously things are fine for slave descendants in Mississippi today even without the amendment's passage. The passage of the Thirteenth Amendment by Mississippi at this point was merely symbolic as an expression of regret over past generations being aligned with the wrong side of history.

Well I didn't find it very humourous that the ERA didn't pass. But enjoy yourself. It didn't.
