Mississippi happens to be the state that declared its secession on the basis that "Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery."
Mississippi -- or at least its leading citizens -- faced economic ruin if slavery were abolished, and they knew it. The "disastrous consequences" were real enough, but they were ultimately precipitated by Mississippi's reliance on a moral abomination.
course maybe you’d have preferred to have had yer kin remain in Ghana or Nigeria, Sierra Leone or maybe Senegal if your Louisiana based African, .....having been there too I can tell you you didn’t miss much
Which statement merely marks you as an ignoramus as well as an out-and-out racist. I seriously doubt that the "most reliable conservative voting bloc" is willing to accept, much less defend, your racism.
agree with my south and white bashing or one is a racist
it must be nice to be a protected species.....like being a tellico snail darter and being allowed to make excuses on and on rather than accepting responsibility
answer this ?
I was raised in Mississippi, lived in Haiti, Jamaica, Sierra Leone and Brasil and traveled extensively in West Africa.
You may hate the truth but blacks here are exponentially better off than the kin they left behind. That is not to say slavery was a humanitarian gesture but it has been a steady constant in the human experience since time began and mu kin were actually arguably more benevolent in it's practice in plantation life that the usual history of slavery and there is no doubt blacks in America today are better off than those Africans left behind.
Same as my ancestors who lived through Pax Romana though subjugated, it was an improvement.
If that's racist to you then tough. You are sorely lacking in an objective realistic appraisal ,of state of the world. Realism is a tenet of conservatism.
btw....calling me racist lost it's sting back in 74 or so, you can try that with yer usual white sissy
