Conservative radio host popular onetime Hannity guest charged with inciting violence

Re: Conservative radio host popular onetime Hannity guest charged with inciting viole

The Slave Trade Act of 1807 only banned the slave trade itself.

And these were shortly after France revived the slave trade under Napoleon, only to finally abolish it in 1848, I believe.

Of course with a particular crowd, we abolish slavery 13 years later so we're the big bad guys who bought and beat and killed every slave that came out of Africa. :lol:

Every slave out of Africa is on us, but the bonus is we get to forget/ignore the slaves from countries like Ireland that existed.

Slavery remained legal throughout the British Empire until 1833 and the Slavery Abolition Act.

As an interesting historical footnote, the United States banned the importation of slaves the same year.

So it was effectively illegal in Great Britain yet it was legal in the colonies. That is why I'm saying it is America that was market.

How so if we banned the import the same year?

Africa always has and always will be the driving force behind African slave trade. You can't really expect more from a continent of savages who believe stupid crap like raping virgins will cure AIDS.:roll:

Re: Conservative radio host popular onetime Hannity guest charged with inciting viole

Wait, so this therapy I'm giving myself is a sham?

I remember one where Africans were washing their hands with CokaCola thinking the fizzy bubbles washed away AIDS.

Stupid ****ing Africans, you have to use Pepsi, duh :doh

Where was the market worse, where were the slaves treated worse? Do you separate north America from south America?

I heard that cannibals in Africa used to boil their victims in Pepsi. They would eat every part of a man except his thing, because things go better with Coke. :mrgreen:

They were treated like **** period.
 
Re: Conservative radio host popular onetime Hannity guest charged with inciting viole

I just find it hard to believe that they were treated so poorly when they were such expensive property. I would think they were treated well to maintain their health and strength. I can't imagine that they would be allowed to fall into physical disrepair because then they would be worthless.
 
Re: Conservative radio host popular onetime Hannity guest charged with inciting viole

:shrug: So sue me.

Ill pass on that. It is just a message board and you're pretty cool despite not being liberal ;)

"In North America, the slave trade was kind compared to the slave trade in the Caribbean Islands and the slaves trade in Brazil and South America. The practice in Brazil and South America was to work the slaves until they worked them to death. They did not have breeding farms. They did not attempt to keep the slaves alive and get offspring from them like they did with their livestock. They just worked them to death and brought in more, so the numbers will never be known."

Re: Conservative radio host popular onetime Hannity guest charged with inciting viole

Uhmmm white people do have a long history of racism though.





Obama said his grandmothers racism was typical of white people.


That's a racist statement, and an offensive one.


Do you believe that white people are "typically" racist?


Lets not change the context to fit an agenda mmmkay? :thumbs:
 
Re: Conservative radio host popular onetime Hannity guest charged with inciting viole

I think a lot of what Obama has said has been misunderstood or taken out of context. I don't think he's racist in any way. Wright, on the other hand, is. Just because Obama sat in church for 20 years listening to this man doesn't necessarily mean that he shares his views. In that same way, I don't agree with Hannity, but I certainly think that he's smart enough not to share such extremist views of Turner. So, even if they are trying to tie together (which I honestly don't see) it's no different, to me, than people trying to tie Obama to Wright or Ayers. However, I do find it interesting that you haven't mentioned the obvious parallels between this and the Ayers issue too. In fact, I brought the Ayers issue up and you ignored it and instead chose the Wright issue. Is it because that's more convenient or do you really not see the parallels between this and the Ayers issue?




I don't. turner never was a "family friend" and as soon as hannity figured out the mans true nature dumped him.


And what context has Obama been taken out of. It's been almost a year now since the incident and many like you claim he has been taken out of context. But not once has the context been defined.
 
Re: Conservative radio host popular onetime Hannity guest charged with inciting viole

The only one with legally enforced slavery and segregation.;)




Actually there is a huge history of black slaves owned by black slave owners all through out african history. ;)
 
Re: Conservative radio host popular onetime Hannity guest charged with inciting viole

Obama said his grandmothers racism was typical of white people.

Yes I belive it is typical from people of that generation. I've heard from my own Grandmother and my Mother both of which said I would be dis owned if I brought a black girl home when I moved to Brooklyn from Dallas.
 
Re: Conservative radio host popular onetime Hannity guest charged with inciting viole

People go to church for their own spiritual beliefs, not necessarily because they believe what one particular preacher's personal and political views are. I've listened to people I don't agree with plenty of times.

Wrights views were that of the whole churches. Are you seriously suggesting that wright was an anomoly there?
 
Re: Conservative radio host popular onetime Hannity guest charged with inciting viole

Yeah, there is a huge difference.

Farakhan and Wright, though terrible and worthless to say what they said, doesnt fit in the same league as what this Turner guy said.

Had Wright or Farkhan told folks to go forth and take up arms and kill folks, then that would be a different story.

It may come from the same roots, but 1 is most certainly going into the realm of instigating violence on another human being, as compared to just saying "God damn America" isnt instigating violence on folks.

This is coming from someone who doesnt like Wright or Farakhan, but the difference b/w what they said and what Turner said are not the same thing.





True, I agree, however, there is also the issue of bill ayers, an unrepentant terrorist who did carry out bombings and what not.


;)

The whole church, huh? Really? Would you care to prove that?

I'm not suggesting he was an anomaly, but I am saying that just because Obama attended that church doesn't mean that he shares the man's political and racial views.
 
Re: Conservative radio host popular onetime Hannity guest charged with inciting viole

Just for the record, I did not want to use the headline tying Hannity to Turner. However, I also had to follow BN guidelines.

Having said that, let me state that Hannity and Turner were friends for many years. Whether Hannity broke off with Turner because he was afraid it would hurt his career, or whether he did it because of a change of heart, is something that neither you nor I can state with a certainty. At this point, I will take Hannity at his word that he does not now share the same views as Turner.




Years? It was brief, and as soon as hannity found out about him disowned him.
