CHILD POET: I WAS WRITE ON

The New York Post ^ | 3/15/06 | By DAVID ANDREATTA

[Tulane]

Her dad...she was home schooled.

[Holicheese]

what 7 year old uses the word Deceit?

[antiRepublicrat]

....If memory serves me correctly African blacks sold blacks into slavery..

Shhhhh, we're not supposed to know that.

[IronJack]

Black lands taken from your hands

I don't recall any blacks being in the New World before Whitey colonized it. So exactly what "black lands" did the Bad Ole White Man take?

This sounds exactly like what it is: the mental drippings from a diarrhetic 7-year-old. It isn't well written. It doesn't say anything new (far from it). It is simply the same stale litany mumbled by generations of malingerers for the last half a century.

Why is anyone listening to this cretin?

[antiRepublicrat]

here's the poem in question

The girl shows a lot of promising talent. Now if only she could shake the "whitey did it" brainwashing.

And why always whitey?

This 19th-century engraving depicts an Arab slave-trading caravan transporting black African slaves across the Sahara. The trans-Saharan slave trade developed in the 7th and 8th centuries as Muslim Arabs conquered most of North Africa. The trade grew significantly from the 10th to the 15th century and peaked in the mid-19th century.

You know as well as I do that the parents are the real cause of this girls' ignorance.

[dynachrome]

"Autum" = "Autumn" ?


No spell check at the hospital?

[HamiltonJay]

This kids not the problem... her parents are... thank God I wasn't raised in that household.

[HamiltonJay]

Are you kidding? You think a 7 year old picked this up on their own? The parents have been seeding this little haters mind since its first breath would be my bet... they are proud as punch of their little darlin I bet.

[HamiltonJay]

Muslims to this VERY DAY still trade black skin like cattle, the UN knows about it, and turns a blind eye....

[rock58seg]

The same kind that uses PARADIGM. Her parent/ghost writer.

[goodnesswins]

ALREADY a Dim Democrat....."I FEEL good...."

[finallyatexan]

And can you imagine what would happen if that little blue eyed blonde was holding a Bible and asked only Christians to stand and recite the Lords Prayer !!!

[cinives]

My thought exactly. What 7yo knows the meaning of the word paradigm, for example ? No, someone wrote this for her and asked her to recite it. And, being the good child of racist (anti-white) parents, she was happy to do so. Obviously she likes the attention she got by doing so.

[Holicheese]

I didn't use the word Paradigm till i was in college. Still have a hard time working it into a scentence.

Yeah, but it's hard to find images of that.

Even if actual slavery is fairly rare, indentured servitude is common.

In the rare instance when I got to eat in a catered mess tent after the Gulf War it was all Pakistanis and Bangladeshis behind the counter. The Saudis bring them over with promise of income, take their passports, and make them pay back travel, expenses, room and board. It can take years to buy themselves out from under this mess, especially if they're sending money back home (which is usually the reason for going there in the first place).

Of course, with the exception of holding a passport, citrus farmers in Florida do this to Mexican migrant workers too (but in that case they're usually illegal workers).

Teacher to seven year old Autum: Please use the word "paradigm in a sentence."

Autum: "Um, um, um... I was walking down the street and saw two dimes on the ground, so I picks dem up and now I have a pairadime."

[bk1000]

"Who filled a seven-year-old with such hatred?"

In another post on the same subject is said her dad is a hate-whitey Black Panther. I guess the apple don't fall far from the tree.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

The schools sent recorded phone messages to 3,000 parents last week apologizing for Autum's poem, "White Nationalism Put U In Bondage," which accuses Christopher Columbus and Charles Darwin of robbing blacks of their human rights.

So she's a racist and a creationist???

Quiz: Miss, what ship did Darwin sail on? Where did he go? Was he ever in Africa? Did he own slaves? Did he support slavery? What is a "paradigm"?

This poem seems to me like a put up job - inspired and probably written by a parent and a parent who was totally ignorant of where Darwin stood on the issue of slavery. Like many scientists in England and Europe at the time, slavery was treated as an abomination and Darwin was an abolitionist. In Voyage of the Beagle he wrote an extraordinarily moving denunciation of slavery, its evils and the fundamental immorality of those who supported slavery, directly or indirectly:
Chapter XXI
....
On the 19th of August we finally left the shores of Brazil, I thank God, I shall never again visit a slave-country. To this day, if I hear a distant scream, it recalls with painful vividness my feelings, when passing a house near Pernambuco, I heard the most pitiable moans, and could not but suspect that some poor slave was being tortured, yet knew that I was as powerless as a child even to remonstrate. I suspected that these moans were from a tortured slave, for I was told that this was the case in another instance. Near Rio de Janeiro I lived opposite to an old lady, who kept screws to crush the fingers of her female slaves. I have stayed in a house where a young household mulatto, daily and hourly, was reviled, beaten, and persecuted enough to break the spirit of the lowest animal. I have seen a little boy, six or seven years old, struck thrice with a horse-whip (before I could interfere) on his naked head, for having handed me a glass of water not quite clean; I saw his father tremble at a mere glance from his master’s eye. These latter cruelties were witnessed by me in a Spanish colony, in which it has always been said, that slaves are better treated than by the Portuguese, English, or other European nations. I have seen at Rio de Janeiro a powerful negro afraid to ward off a blow directed, as he thought, at his face. I was present when a kind-hearted man was on the point of separating forever the men, women, and little children of a large number of families who had long lived together. I will not even allude to the many heart-sickening atrocities which I authentically heard of; nor would I have mentioned the above revolting details, had I not met with several people, so blinded by the constitutional gaiety of the negro as to speak of slavery as a tolerable evil. Such people have generally visited at the houses of the upper classes, where the domestic slaves are usually well treated; land they have not, like myself, lived amongst the lower classes. Such inquirers will ask slaves about their condition; they forget that the slave must indeed be dull, who does not calculate on the chance of his answer reaching his master’s ears. 34
It is argued that self-interest will prevent excessive cruelty; as if self-interest protected our domestic animals, which are far less likely than degraded slaves, to stir up the rage of their savage masters. It is an argument long since protested against with noble feeling, and strikingly exemplified, by the ever-illustrious Humboldt. It is often attempted to palliate slavery by comparing the state of slaves with our poorer countrymen: if the misery of our poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin; but how this bears on slavery, I cannot see; as well might the use of the thumb-screw be defended in one land, by showing that men in another land suffered from some dreadful disease. Those who look tenderly at the slave owner, and with a cold heart at the slave, never seem to put themselves into the position of the latter; what a cheerless prospect, with not even a hope of change! picture to yourself the chance, ever hanging over you, of you wife and your little children—those objects which nature urges even the slave to call his own—being torn from you and sold like beasts to the first bidder! And these deeds are done and palliated by men, who profess to love their neighbours as themselves, who believe in God, and pray that his Will be done on earth! It makes one’s blood boil, yet heart tremble, to think that we Englishmen and our American descendants, with their boastful cry of liberty, have been and are so guilty: but it is a consolation to reflect, that we at least have made a greater sacrifice, than ever made by any nation, to expiate our sin.
