Posted By Inactive 4 months, 2 weeks ago in Political NewsRoger Hedgecock's Commentary Begins; The U.S. Senate voted unanimously last week to adopt a resolution apologizing for slavery.
Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, lead sponsor of the resolution, said, "You wonder why we didn't do it 100 years ago. It is important to have a collective response to a collective injustice."

Democrats supported slavery then, just as they support welfare now, to retain and gain power on the backs of blacks while keeping African-Americans on the plantation. More conservatives need to point this fact out, and to point it out often.

Witness what is left of the repug base, ignorant thuggish and as always, racist to the core.

How about just declaring repug party the White Suprema-cyst party. Membership by licking the bleeding cyst of the porcine leader of the repugs, Oxy Cottonballs. -

its like you have absolutely no idea where we are right now, as a nation, as political parties.

there's a reason why Black America steers well clear of the republican party.
point out whatever you want. but we'll keep pointing out the fact that the repubs are the party of exclusion, and everyone in the world seems to know that but you. -

great idea. while we're considering real solutions to real problems how bout these; let democrats pay for any non citizen or person making more than 75 k a year who doesn't have healthcare. also, let them adopt illegal aliens and make them part of the "family". they want their vote, let them have their expense too.

I give you the party of hatemongering fools, the dying shriveled party of Caribu Barbie and Joe the Plumber, not even trying anymore to hide their Racism.
Good strategy, if you're an evangelical teliban. -

"also, let them adopt illegal aliens and make them part of the "family". they want their vote, let them have their expense too..." sounds fair to me as long as you and the rest of the moral majority line up at the abortion clinics to adopt all of the children you accuse the left of killing..Fair enough,then you can make them part of your family and take on that expense also..

Of course this leaves out why the republicans win the south. Later the dems supported equal rights and the racist south became republican. This is like comparing the NFL Raiders under genius Madden to what senile Al Davis is doing now. Completely different teams and players. There just aren't any Abe Lincoln republicans anymore. They signed on to white southern angry racist man under Reagan and now are imperialists not conservatives. Perhaps if you started acting like you did back then you might get back in power. Should we reintroduce the Whig party? It is about as relevant as this post.

Ya this little thing kinda almost made me a Republican when I learned about it in APUSH..

Until I realized it didn't matter which political party we came from... all that mattered was whether you were from the south or not, which seemed to be the control factor there. -

The KKK was formed by a Democrat; no Republican has ever been a member of the KKK
Reply
This line, insinuating that no Republican ever has been a member of the KKK is the most blatant, divise inducing lie I have seen in a long time, coming from someone that apparently has the ears of many.
The whole issue of an apology is a moral necessity, but reparations? To whom do we make this? To the African Americans, or to the people in Africa, who were deprived of their loved ones? Are we then going to make reparations to the Native Americans aswell? Essentially our forefathers stole their land and put them in what for them were the equivalent of todays concentration camps. Do the Brits and French also help with this, as they too had a hand in it?
As to whether this is the responsability of democrats or republicans, please, This is the United States of America, and not the Republican or Democratic States of America. We seem to be going down a very dangerous path here, and have for some time, where it seems every facet of social and political life is becoming categorized as eigther a republican or democratic endeveour. We need to set our own house in order, once and for all settle our divergent opinions, which by the way made the US great, rather than this continual bickering of I'm right and you're wrong, na na na....... No one party is right all of the time, and no party is wrong all of the time. If we can't, over the long run, everyone will loose. Opportunity, jobs and prosperity will find alternate places to continue flourishing, and leave us in the dust.-

What about the Islamic countries? If you read the history the largest portion African slaves went to that region and the Arabs were the one's kidnapping the Africans to sell to other countries. We abolished slavery 150 years ago, they still are active in slavery.
Reply
Now as far as paying reparations, how do you figure out who to pay? Do you pay by color of skin alone? Do you research to see if they actually had family members that were slaves? What if they came here after the civil war and the emancipation proclamation? do they have a claim on the money?
Would I get money too since I had slaves in my family though I look like a Caucasian? -
