Schlockumentary filmmaker Michael Moore said recently that America was "founded on genocide and built on the backs of slaves."
This disgusting statement was made at the same January 12 Symposium on Poverty at which he claimed older whites who didn't vote for Barack Obama in 2008 were racist.
MICHAEL MOORE: "It’s not envy, it’s war, and it is a class war, and it’s a war that has been perpetrated by the rich on to everybody else. I mean, the class war is one they started. The mistake they've made, just to deal with the racial part of this, is their boot has been on the necks of people of color since we began. This is a nation founded on genocide and built, built on the backs of slaves. Alright?"
Moore-"So, so we started with a racial problem. We went, we tried to actually eliminate one entire race, and then we used another race to build this country actually quite quickly as a new country into a world power. This country never would have had the wealth that it had had it not had slavery for a couple of hundred years. If it had had, if it had had to pay people, if it actually had to pay people to build America, you know, we might just be at that point in Utah where we're joining the two rails together maybe at this point right now."
So the United States wouldn't have participated in the Industrial Revolution if not for slavery? And all of the fabulous inventions created by Americans after the Civil War wouldn't have occurred if slavery didn't exist prior? One and a half subsequent centuries of innovation and expansion would never have come to fruition?
Exactly what kind of an America-hating, history-challenged nincompoop do you have to be to not only think such nonsense but actually say it at a symposium - to applause, no less! - being aired on C-SPAN?
Can “We the People” sue him for slander?
FUMM. Why don’t you pack you bags and in fact I will help you in taking your fat @$$ out of our country. I think a good place for you would be Venezuela, Cuba or Iran where you would be welcome with open arms !
Napoleon once described his duplicitous Foreign Minister Tallyrand as “a silk stocking full of shit”. There is no point anymore in referring to Michael Moore as anything other than a fat sack of shit. That’s all I have to say about him.
If Moore really believed this he’d renounce his citizenship.
If there wasn’t slavery there’d be far, far fewer black people in America today living much better lives than they would ever hope to in Africa.
Would, too. If they weren't already so full of sh!+. They lap up his crap like gravy.
Bravo, SkyDancer! Perfectly stated (as always!)
He’s exactly right... thanks to the Democrat Party of slave masters and Klansmen.
“Michael Moore:...”
Hasn’t that fat greasy bastard died of heart failure yet?
I have to admit that the governments of my Massachusetts and Maine ancestors voted to pay a bounty for Indian scalps, and some of them probably earned that bounty - some of them were definitely killed or captured by Indians.
And I have to admit that some of my Virginia and North Carolina ancestors owned slaves, and they dispossessed Indians of their lands.
And then, so what? What human being is not descended from victors and conquerors and invaders, rapists and murderers and slavers? The miracle is that we are capable of goodness at all. What society other than our Western, Christian society has ever felt remorse for its deeds, and tried to make some amends?
America was “founded on genocide and built on the backs of slaves.”
Applying the same logic: Liberalism was founded on the bellies of idiots.
So the G7 was founded on slavery too? That’s what gave them their advancement and achievement?
Nothing except the Profit Motive - he's making millions off gullible brainstems who form long lines to slurp up the lying sh*t he cranks out.
Screw that overstuffed, money grubbing, socialist SOB! He is the poster child for everything that is causing this country slide into the grave! With any luck at all he will suffer a major heart attack and die, I wish I could watch his last seconds on earth so I could laugh!
Perhaps, Mr. Moore would like to move to a country that doesn’t have such a disgusting past and such a hopeless future.
Michael Moore? Ho, hum... Is that washed up old windbag still jacking his jaw on the public airwaves?
If he honestly believes this, how can he live one single more day without giving every cent of his ill gotten gains to “people of color”? Why is he keeping even one single penny of that money that he clearly doesn’t deserve? He should be ashamed of himself and his ancestors.
EXACTLY....someone should “poll” black Americans and ask them if they’d rather be in Nigeria now....or ANY other place in Africa, for that matter.
Because there is not a jelly doughnut large enough...
