slavery is when you control someone's very life with currency. slavery is when people have to get out and work harder and harder just to be able to by the things they need. slavery is when someone threatens you with jail if you don't pay them protection money. that's what today's slavery is!!! it is very much alive today and thriving. and we let it happen to us!!!!!!

--- decided to disengage ---

the jewish bankers owned the ships and they would send rum down to the africans in exchange for the slaves. they considered themselves lucky if they brought 9 out of 10 back to the states alive. some people say that the portugese started the slave trade, what they don't understand is, there are portugese jewish bankers too. these pjb's were in cahoots with the jewish bankers in america. even farhakhan and malcolm x understood these facts and tried to convey them to their people. these were the same bankers that bankrolled the state of israel, these are the same bankers that hammered out the plans for the federal reserve in 1910 at jekyll island in a little room at the end of the hall that has the plaque up on the door that says "the federal reserve was created here". these were the same bankers that got the military industrial crap going, these were the same bankers who paid freud's nephew to figure out how to get women smoking, this was the same group of bankers that financed hitler, this was the same group of bankers that bought the printing presses and used them to spread propaganda to the american citizens. there is many many more things this group of bankers did that wouldn't even fit into this forum.

All blacks were slaves when coming to America. I don't think they willingly wanted to go on a ship across the ocean where half of them died in the process.

It was a business for money at the time and money is what makes the world go round many believe.

and once they were in America....

Where could blacks go for work if they didn't have any money to start their businesses or even had rights at the time?

All were slaves used for different tasks.

The civil war ended this, but blacks still didn't have complete freedom as they were seperated from whites, denied work, and continued to be harrassed and named as niggers, gorillas, or plain dumb people.

Just under 50 years ago blacks couldn't buy milk at a grocery store. They were denied.

They had to sit at the back of the bus or front? I don't remember now.

They had to go to seperate bathrooms.

Was slavery practiced in Africa? Of course ever since the Ancient Egyptians forced slaves to build their pyramids. What is new with that?

What the Europeans should have recognized is that it is wrong to do this, but instead they saw it was possible to control such people at the time and took advantage of it.

And do you think it ended there? No.

The Americans continued to use blacks as their slave labors and they still have this mentality especially in the south who treat them as if they are gorillas or something.

What ashame that such brainwashed societies still exist today and I am glad that I wasn't raised hating color of the skin or a nationality.

Shame on you Americans for still thinking less on people with different skin color!

well said smiles....hey i thought you were leaving?

April 1st is the day

not an april fool's joke right? you will be missed hun

it isn't a skin color thing anymore, i think it's more of a cultural thing now. whites that are condidered white trash are just as disliked as the blacks that live the same way the white trash do. it's environmental and culturistic now. not skin color.

There's a difference between white and white trash...although I am sure anyone reading these forums regularly might...oh...never mind.

well I doubt I will be missed to tell you the truth, but I know it is a good decision to disconnect from the internet and truly enjoy what life has to offer.

The hyprocrites here on Mingle2 will continue to fight, argue, and whine, but the world will continue to spin regardless.

As for me I will join the great outdoor activities traveling enjoying laughter and joy with the people who truly enjoy my company.

lol, go ahead and say it

well in the end this country will selfdestruct if it cannot get along with the different cultures, lifestyles, color, and belief systems.

Afterall, this is or was a melting pot for many many years. Either get along or watch your country fall apart.


Advocate "peace" and "tolerance" or watch violence gain popularity instead.

These are your choices.

never knew you to not speak all of your mind in here lol

spit it out.

patently false. as equally false as it is to say that all slaves is America were black.. There were as many celt, slav, czech people enslaved in th colonies, north and south and past the revolution, up to the civil war..

the slavery issue in America is so more and vastly complex than 99.999999999% of people inthe world realize, much less care to realize..

yes I know that some whites who didn't own land where also slaves at the time in this country, yet what you are trying to tell me now that there was a African person who (willingly) came to America at that time period and lived a free life like the rich aristrocrats, landowners, or bankers of the time?

Well that would be a great book to read indeed.


The next thing I am going to hear is that the KKK doesn't hate blacks

Tell that to the 96 year old black Mississippi woman who watched her mother burn on a cross by the KKK. True story by the way.

besides those who were white signed contracts agreeing to the terms of working for the owner of the plantation or whatever job it was at the time. Many earned their land from working also. What did the blacks earn in the end? Nothing! It is not that the whites were forced unless law provided it at the time when they owed money to someone or the government.

So in the end "what choices did the African man have?"

none at all.

They were forced to work and if not they were whipped or even shot dead.

And after the civil war they still didn't get complete freedom!

Amazing the mentality of white folks!

Instead of learning from history you just add onto it thinking that your actions are justified in giving a man with a different skin color a hard time.

Pathetic redneck KKK racist society who have one view of how to run this country and trust me the people of this country will not let it happen anymore!

It is a losing battle for those racists who use to sit in Congress and it must be tearing you inside like crazy.

by the way this message isn't directed to you raiderfan for I don't know you to say if you are a racist or not.

the message is intended to 'racists' who do read this though.

now we are all slaves!!!!!!! slaves to the zionist jewish banker's money!!!!! slaves i say!!!! slaves!!!!!!!!!!

to the extent that the same was true in contemporary Europe.. yes..

some book, indeed? it's called history..

IT'S CALLED "GET RID OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE!!!!!!!" LET'S GET RID OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!

okay if you say so.

A black man came to America and had his freedom during the time of slavery.
