		<description>Not that anyone should feel guilty about any crime they didn&#039;t personally commit but I hope you all are equally as fervent about distancing yourselves from the (laudable) actions and legacies of our Founding Fathers.</description>

&lt;b&gt;truth wrote:&lt;/b&gt;
A White man is still White. Did they jump out of the pool an drain it when your grandfather jumped in?
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
No, there were other forms of ignorance acted upon my grandfather.  There is no argument that the treatment of blacks was wrong and I agree that it has been a long road to ending inequalities among many groups of people.  The point is - we&#039;re all equally disadvantaged now.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;
Also by the way the U.S. is a democracy and was not feudalistic.
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

A correction, if I may.  The U.S. is a Republic, not a democracy and not feudalistic.  Perhaps a bit nitpicky, but a distinction to be made nonetheless.  Would that more people understood the difference.

&lt;i&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
School is law not a priviledge.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

It&#039;s a shame that you state it so.  Indeed, school was not law - it was a great privilege until the 1900&#039;s.  Compulsory attendance in school didn&#039;t become law in the U.S. until Massechussetts passed it through state legislation somewhere around 1895 or so.  By 1918, all states required children to receive an education.  The purpose of compulsory attendance laws was to prepare students to become productive, educated, informed citizens who could make their own way in society.  Those who value the opportunity do better in America, generally speaking, than those who do not.


As I am fond of telling my daughter, until she learns to read and comprehend, use the English language easily and at least mostly correctly and write beyond freshman level in college, she may as well continue flipping burgers at McDonalds.</description>

		<description>White guilt and black victim hood are pathetic mental illnesses for which I  have little sympathy and a great deal of  contempt.  

Why don&#039;t these people so burdened with their contrived angst work to redeem themselves by freeing the many living, breathing  slaves and victims of human trafficking  that exist in the world today?  It&#039;s because they are complete narcissists, that&#039;s why.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a 3rd generation immigrants of Irish/English/French descent. Some of my Irish relatives were slaves to the British as recently as 70 years ago. That&#039;s more recently than any westerner owned a black slave.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Is there anyone who honestly can say that the slavery of the soul -in the form of perpetual victimology and beholdingness to the liberal state, is any less a form of slavery than the pre-civil war physical slavery?&lt;/i&gt;

For the record, no.

I would argue that slavery of the soul is worse than physical slavery.

Your new form of slavery to the liberal state will be measured by your tax bill and enforced by the chip implanted under your skin.

And that form of slavery will be independent of how much melanin your skin contains.</description>

		<description>My grandfather on one side fought in WWI, was a railroad man, lost nearly everything he had in the great depression, made it through by jarring vegetables from his garden, and left us with nothing.  My grandfather on the other side was equally hard working but of modest resources.

I have absolutely no idea what my ancestors did prior to that, as I have never done a family search.  That&#039;s the point.  I couldn&#039;t care less about it.  I am not responsible for their actions, good or bad.  I won&#039;t be rewarded by God for their faith, and I won&#039;t he held accountable for their sins.  God is no respecter of persons.

Pfleger is a pitiful throwback to liberation theology which is nothing but warmed over Marxism, and the Roman Catholic Church is sadly dying, as evidenced by the fact that they cannot seem to eject such clowns from their midst.</description>

		<description>i was once a catholic, but i got over it. what&#039;s the beef about some so called injustice. i feel that slavery was bad, but so is genocide, hiv, and every other blight that comes along. besides, it wasn&#039;t like there wasn&#039;t a job waiting for the multitudes of africans. so as far as guilt or reparations are concerned,i see no reason for them. unless i can collect for my brave relatives who fought and died to free the slaves....
