This is not abotu slavery. This is about race. If slavery is really the issue then lets talk about all slavery.
Speaking of “slavery”.
BHO, I will not be a slave to you.
It does not seem to be a problem to leave slavery out of african and muslim history..............
So now Obama’s going to control “history”? How totalitarian...
President Barack Obama says Virginia’s governor made “an unacceptable omission” when he proclaimed it Confederate History Month without mentioning slavery.

I know what you mean you Kenyan; just like it’s unacceptable to leave all your transcripts away from public view.
So did lots and lots of other people. The gov made a statement.
The vast majority of soldiers who fought and died for the Confederacy owned no slaves. The Confederate Territory of Arizona had not a single slave within its borders, as was also true for large areas of Texas.
The Confederate States of America was the last constitutional republic in North America. Lincoln and his successors (especially those who designed and administered Reconstruction) laid the foundation for a post-republican United States, and for America’s participation in the New World Order.
Finally, obama is NOT an American, and does not share our history or culture. And as a taqiyya-practicing muslim, he supports the largest slave system in the world today, which is a threat to freedom everywhere. And he is enacting such things as a domestic military force (which is part of the DeathCare law recently enacted), designed to rob us of our freedom directly. So obama should at least have the minimal decency to shut up about slavery.
Is BO just repeating the lines from his favorite White Sox player? Ooooops, never mind.
Who made him king of Virginia?
UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND SLAVERY!!
Indebtedness.... is slavery!!!
I am reminded of foxes and henhouses...
Inmates.... and the [political] asylum...
Yiminy.....
Not to be argued that there were several reasons men and boys in the South joined the Confederate Army but only about 5% owned slaves. On the political front, The Southern Democrats opposition to Republican efforts to end slavery was what drove that deep divide between the North and the South. And the Democrats opposition of protecting the civil rights of all Americans lasted well into the 20th century. In the south, those Democrats who most bitterly opposed equality for blacks founded the Ku Klux Klan, which operated as the party's terrorist wing.”
What does Hussein “understand” about slavery in America or the experience of the descendants of those slaves? His father was a Kenyan who lived here only a short time before abandoning his family and returning to his country of birth. Hussein was born in Hawaii which was a sovereign nation unto itself until the end of the 19th century and has virtually no history of involvement in American slavery. He lived a good deal of his formative years in Indonesia which is about as far away geographically as you can get from the U.S. and so shares nothing with Americans of color or their experience. He was born and raised in a time when the civil rights movement was winning across the board and he never faced the discrimination of Jim Crow laws and segregation. After his mother abandoned him he was raised by his white grandparents who paid for his admission to private schools and prestigious colleges and universities. He has never had to hustle for a job or confront the challenges faced by ordinary Americans of any background let alone those descended from slaves.
I am white and I have more actual experience of how black Americans have lived in this nation than Hussein.
I say it's none of his damned business.
“President Barack Obama says Virginia’s governor made “an unacceptable omission” when he proclaimed it Confederate History Month without mentioning slavery.”
Well, Mr. Obambi, if it’s an unacceptable omission what are you going to do about it besides shoot your mouth off? It’s not your damn business what the governor of Virginia says. If it’s an unacceptable omission, what do you consider an acceptable omission.
What an a$$hat!
I would strongly recommend reading the book “Cannibals All!: Or, Slaves Without Masters” (1857), by proto-socialist George Fitzhugh.
Fitzhugh was pro-slavery, and proposed *expanding* slavery to encompass “9 out of 10” people in the entire world. The remaining 1 in 10, the elites, would be the masters.
He can properly be called a proto-socialist, because while the word “socialism” was popularized in the 1820s-’30’s, Fitzhugh himself did not use the word, though his writings encapsulated much of the founding philosophical concepts of socialism.
His book, as you might expect, is directed at those neurotic individuals who either think of themselves as “elites”, or would want to be thought of as “elite” even though they know themselves to be inferior persons. It found its audience among the lower class whites of the pre-war South, who relished the prospect of not only lording over black slaves, but over those of education, breeding and wealth, who they despised.
In the book, Fitzhugh elevates slavery to be the best situation of equality and brotherhood for the inferior man, and that the elites are doing the slaves a favor by keeping them as slaves, so as not to burden them with the hard choices and suffering inherent in freedom and liberty. For happiness, for them, is found in mindlessly obeying their masters, and doing what they are told.
For the *work* of keeping the slaves, slaves, the masters are handsomely rewarded by the grateful slaves, by whose work the masters are fed, clothed, and honored.
In other words, this book could serve as a founding document for the Democrat party. As well, you can see many of Fitzhugh’s motifs again and again in the different movements within the Democrat party.
The pseudo-intellectualism, the sense of entitlement and elitism, the complete disdain for the majority of the people, the belief that wealth and honor are given at random by chance, and an utter disregard for any truth that conflicts with the agenda.
Fitzhugh, and other writers of his stripe, of proto-socialist and socialist theory, all tend to reach similar conclusions, even independently of each other. Yet Fitzhugh stands apart, because he does not obfuscate or confuse what he wants.
He wants slavery for 9 out of 10 people, and he wants to be a master over them. Call it by any other name, or euphemism, and socialism to this day still equates with slavery. And this is what Obama, and Hillary, and Al Gore, and Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi, and the rest of those scoundrels want.
Those that could wax eloquently about their goals won’t do so, however, because we “potential slaves” shouldn’t have our inferior heads burdened with such thoughts, and might foolishly and hatefully resist taking our “proper place” as slaves. And the useful idiots among the Democrats who couldn’t describe what they want, only that they want it, are just below contempt.
So, find a copy of the book and read it. You will likely agree with Abraham Lincoln, in whose estimation it was one of the most dangerous books ever written.

If I understand correctly - and please correct me if I’m wrong - sub-Saharan African tribes were enslaving each other long before the appearance of Europeans, and folks were pretty good at it in the Saharan regions as well, AND they continue to do so to this day in certain areas.
I say Obama’s leaving Reagan out of the reason why the Cold War ended is ‘an unacceptable omission’
