Some things never change.
The original 3/5ths argument arose in 1783 as an amendment to the Articles of Confederation. It was proposed as a way of determining the wealth of each state. This was how Congress intended to assign tax obligations of the states.
The southern states were incensed. “Blacks were property and had no say in anything so they shouldn’t be counted” was their argument. Then came the horse-trading with one side offering to count them each as 1/2 a man, and the other demanding a 3/4ths ratio. Ultimately the amendment failed.
It was a mere four years later when the quandary came up again. This time it was for purposes of representation. The north argued that since southern blacks were nothing more than property and couldn’t vote they didn’t need representation. The south this time demanded that their property count as full human beings - but only to the extent that it profited their masters in Congress.
The same negotiations took place but this time the 3/5ths rule was accepted and the south took an advantage that tipped the balance of power for nearly 78 years.
Dunster House = Dumpster House
better name is the “stop cops killing our black felons” movement.
“Convicting Darren Wilson Will Be Basically Impossible: You can thank Missouri law for that”
Feds have announce that they are investigating the entire Ferguson police department for civil rights violations. They learned from TM not to wait around. This time they are going for blood.
I forgot... (well not really, ha)
You’re right though.
In theory he could still have been walking home at the time he ran into the officers.
He wasn’t shot for that though. He was shot for charging an officer.
No he certainly wasn’t a nice little gentle 300lb baby huey.
Got that right.
The writer of this article was seriously challenged...
Black shooting victims are no longer being discriminated against, they are participants in their own demise with very few exceptions. (if any)
The culture is also a participant where today it is a hip and popular thing to dis the man...involving a number of white victims as well.
This cultural thing has affected the LEO’s who are in fear as they travel the fruited plain of the US. As a direct result they are more likely to use deadly force, be they black, white or brown.
I don’t have the answer to fix it...
About that time, he heard a second BOLO on his radio about the store robbery, whereupon he realized that Brown might be carrying the stolen cigars. He backed up and confronted Brown, whereupon the Gentle Giant charged and attempted to disarm him, but failed when the weapon went off. Brown retreated, but then charged again, resulting in his death.
This is consistent with the Brown family's commissioned autopsy results (LOL!).
Hahvard sucks.
This is from Harvard?
Let’s dispose of the “three-fifths human” lie. No where in the law or Constitution of the U.S. is this claim made. Nowhere. It is a lie which preys upon ignorance.
What is in the Constitution is the counting of persons for purposes of determining the number of Representatives in the House of Representatives, Article 1 Section 2, which states “the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons” the purpose of which was to weaken slave states so that slavery may be eliminated.
The purpose of the “three-fifths” requirement is the opposite of what the liars claim.
IOW, the COD is "Death by Misadventure".
So true. They showed a 70 year old indigent white man in a large city who was knocked out by a black punk. The likes of Holder and Obama could care less about this older man as he is WHITE.In my opinion -
“Obama and Holder are the real racists.”
Of course they are.
Obama, Holder, Jackson, Sharpton, NAACP, LaRaza, MALDEF, La Mecha...
Don’t you dare even mention a white rights effort.
