The Foundations of this Country were built at a time when the entirety of the world considered Black Africans to be monkeys.
Consider yourself lucky Mr. Glover. Consider gratitude for your blessings.
Like Muhammad Ali said, “Thank God my grandaddy got on that boat.”
Ask Danny who led the abolition movement? Who ran the underground railroad?
Which political party was formed with the central plank of their platform being abolition?
White Christian Republicans, the very people Danny rails against today.
Glover is worth an estimated $15 million.
Morgan Freeman is worth an estimated $150 million.
Sean Combs is worth over $800 million.
Yeah, these poor, poor oppressed minorities.
This racist negro belongs in a ditch, a tree or. Grave. The sooner, the better.
He won’t. For Danny, it begins and ends with hating Whitey.
Is that why you’ve made millions in this racist country, Glover? GTFO of the country!!
I’ll gladly chip in to return all to their fatherland in Africa
This is why I won’t see any movie that features Glover. I refuse to put a single penny in his pocket. BTW Danny, Africa is still there. Go live in that Wakanda paradise.
And only in this HYPER RACIST country could a no talent piece of sh!t like Glover become a millionaire for reading words other people wrote.
Dany Grover go to Cuba...maybe there you will feel better....
““.........Arnold’s twin, right???”
No, that the other idiot Danny, Danny DiVito, the little bald Italian Dwarf who is married to Rhea Perlman.”

Oh Yeah...ThankYa!
So many @$$wholes around they’re all starting to run together in me old mind-housing-group!

Celebtardation is a good word.
“So many @$$wholes around they’re all starting to run together in me old mind-housing-group!”
Yeah, shure makes the case for the idea that there are more horses a$$es than there are horses, doesn’t it!
That pinched little turd of a demented fireplug commie needs to realize that the United States didn’t invent slavery, the south didn’t invent slavery and white people didn’t invent slavery. It had existed for the entirety of recorded history up to about the eighteenth century, and white Christians were in large part the impetus behind the movement to abolish the practice. People who zero in on the US to the exclusion of the entire rest of the world as well as world history to condemn slavery are in fact attempting to discredit and undermine the US. That would be the bitter, stunted Danny Glover who would be laughable if he didn’t have so many compatriots attempting to do the same thing and making an alarming amount of headway.
That's all wrapped up in a pretty little bow, but how do you account for the four Union slave states?
The north fought the war to prevent secession of all but four slave states. The Emancipation Proclamation was a military document intended to foment slave revolt in the Confederacy only, it did not free slaves in the four Union slave states, who in fact were not freed at the end of the war. The slaves in the four Union slave states had to wait for passage of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States in order to be freed. The four Union slave states were Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland and Missouri. There were over 450,000 slaves in the 1860 census, in Union terrirory. Washington, DC itself didn't even make slavery illegal until after the Civil War had been going on for a year.
It's important to get your history right. Popular belief is often incorrect.
Lincoln did indeed attempt to avoid a war or to minimize the war once it got started. But, after Antietam, with the Emancipation Proclamation, the war changed from one to preserve the Union to one to free the slaves.
The Emancipation Proclamation included a provision for ending slavery in those places under Union control through compensated emancipation. Basically, slaveowners in Union controlled places were paid the enlistment bonus when a man joined our army, in return for his freedom and his family’s freedom. In addition, the four loyal slaves states abolished slavery during the war, and the Congress ended slavery in D.C., prior to the ratification of the 13th Amendment.
The war ended slavery, but at what cost? At an enormous cost in terms of loss of lives, the financial cost of the war, and the destruction of property. Almost as many people died or were wounded as were freed. Thus, Lincoln said for every drop of blood taken by the whip another is taken by the sword. Race hatred and sectional divided haunted our country, and the South impoverished for another century.
Let us honor the sacrifice of those who gave their lives, as they saw it, to free their fellow man or to defend their home from invasion, by committing ourselves to peacefully resolve our differences, being patient and trusting in God.
At the Founding, the population and wealth of the slave states were about equal to that of the free states (almost all states were, at the time, slave states, by “free states” I include those that ended slavery either through gradual emancipation or by abolishing slavery shortly after the Founding). By the time of the Civil War, the free states were four times as large in population, and eight times as large in wealth. Why did the free states grow so much faster in population and wealth?
Unless you are some kind of libtard, the answer is obvious. The free states more fully embraced capitalism in both of its senses: in the sense of relying on industrial machinery instead of humans as work-animals, and in the sense of allowing the marketplace to direct economic activity. Even among the apologists for the Lost Cause, there is some recognition that this is the reason for the relative success of the free states,
But, according to libtards, the North somehow woodwinked the South, stealing from the South through the tariff. Thus, historically, communists, socialists and progressives tended to ally with those who supported slavery and segregation, with Woodrow Wilson being the personification of both views rolled into one.
Prior to the emerging economies of the world, the libtard gang said much the same thing. The rich capitalist countries were rich because they exploited the poor non-capitalist countries. Today, with so many emerging economies, it is clear that what is happening is creation of wealth, not redistribution of wealth.
Basically, the libtard view is that wealth is static. There’s only so much of it. So, for anyone to want more necessarily means others have less. Inequality is the rallying cry. But, because they are so wrong, the libtards are always having to explain why their theories are contradicted by reality. Right now, why the Trump economy is booming,
But, maybe, the libtards are right to some extent. Maybe, it’s brains that are static. Maybe, what they really need is a little redistribution of intelligence. The thing about intelligence is that it, like wealth, is something that you can’t share. It’s something that you create. And, something that you destroy if you tried to redistribute it. So, I say to libtards, stop being so stupid and learn a thing or two about how economies work.
Go to Zimbabwe, Danny. Stay there.
