Obama failed to mention the whole country came under modern day slavery in 2010.
Hey Obama, the unacceptable omission was when your mother forgot to issue you your brain.
Get lost, idiot.
The old slavery bit doesn’t work any more. Your supporters are there because of their culture, not because of their race.
Leaving the Democrat Party’s slavery out of the discussion is also unacceptable omission.
In 1854 Democrats passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act which essentially made slavery legal in the USA. The Civil War followed shortly. Abe Lincoln freed the slaves, the Democrat party formed up their terror wing the KKK, to keep their political power in the south. So slavery is important, and discussing it and who did it is also important.
History is your friend. Read it or repeat it.
It’s all about reparations, folks-—that will be his next big push, once he has everything in place.
Hey Dear Emperor, it’s none of your damn business what states do. Butt out!!
Ok, if it’s unacceptable, then what is he going to do about it?
Have you emailed him your suggestion?
with comments coming from the one, it shows what he really is and what he is really doing....he is trying to make the white man pay for past history....history that many of us were not even alive during....keeping racism alive in washington one comment at a time....
Our President “recognized” Irish Americans in March without mentioning their horrific history as slaves in America.
What up with dat?
In a 2004 interview, 0bama stated that he preferred ongoing programs “like universal healthcare and free college education” (which he got in “healthcare reform”) over any sort of reparations payment,
because the ongoing programs would be in perpetuity,
and a reparations payment would “let America off the hook”.
Outstanding! BTTT!
Kenya, and your Arab-African ancestors, not only were among the earliest of slave traders, but they were the most recalcitrant as well. A generation after Americans fought a bloody civil war to put an end to this practice, your homeland was still an enthusiastic practitioner. In fact, it was the British navy which had to interdict the traffic in slavery to Kenya and the British government which had to set up a colonial government to enforce it.
Sometimes I think that certain people don’t TRULY dislike slavery...they just want to be on the right end of it, ie the slave OWNER/Trader.
As far as reparations go, if someone can find a living slave and his or her living master, sure let the master pay. The black community today is in the shape they are in by their own actions or lack thereof.
Most of the blame lies in the government, paternalistic, condescending, cynical
welfare programs that broke up the black families and destroyed their family culture.
The best idea I’ve seen...I wish you were advising him.
Any history of the Late Unpleasantness that makes no mention of slavery is a lie by omission, so I agree (for the first and I hope only time) with Zero.
The Dunhams were slave owners and the Luo tribe were slave traders. Here’s an article that discusses this: http://www.usvetdsp.com/jan08/obama_lou%20tribe.htm
