African-American Slavery

Think about what you're going to write first before typing it down and posting nonsense the next time.

See, doesn't that sound stupid? It does, doesn't it? But I got a great solution, shut up about the past you can't change, because coming from you specifically, again and again, is real friggin' annoying--ala your newest thread in General Forum.

Slavery really doesnt affect anyone born in the U.S. now of days. It is a shame that it happened and yes I dont like to hear the whole American saying "a lot of civilizations have gotten conquered, get over it" myself but we all have to move on, including white people. I hear a lot of them bitching about slavery too, don't know why really.

I really think that unless slavery is still going on around you, you cannot complain. Like anything else.

There is still slavery around the world, and very much active.

Did you read what I wrote?

You're dumb, man. I'm focusing on African American slavery because it's what the thread's about. Not other slave trades, you idiot. Of course i'm only going to focus on the American one, you cocksmoker.

And yes, it does sound stupid talking about other slave trades, like you're doing, instead of sticking to the topic. You're right.

And do try to keep an open mind, even when it comes to internet forums. If we all stuck to the topic and never expanded, this place would be dead.

Next time, try listening instead of just hearing.

Or rather, for a computer... try reading instead of just seeing.

You mean if we all expanded and never stuck to the topic, this place would be dumb. In other words I'd be for you.

lol, You're a joke incarnate. I always thought you were. And I was right. Look at you. You talk about incivility yet when replying to me you refer to the words b*tch, selfish, and stupid when you responded to my initial non-attacks. Fcuk you. Next time, try sucking my dcik, how about that for incivility you hypocritical bastard.

lol, incivility. An open mind. If you want to write about world wide slavery then start a thread talking about that. But don't get your hot-pink panties in a bloody mess cause in called you out for being dumb and not sticking to the topic. The nerve.

Slavery was still awfully wrong. Stop trying to justify African-American slavery by using comparisons that try to make such a horrible thing happen seem less horrible.. Just ever owning even one slave in the U.S. was and is horribly wrong.

Perhaps you musunderstood my post. I am NOT trying to justify it in the least. I was simply trying to convey that slavery was not limited to the Britain's American colonies. It was commonplace all throughout the Americas during the age of European colonialsim. As i stated most African slaves DID NOT end up in the English colonies. Most were forced to work in South America and islands throughout the Carribean. I fail to see how that point in fact makes me sound like i'm justifying Afircan- American slavery.

Historic irony, i suppose, that AFrica is one of the very few places that slavery actually still exists.

Do you see it? We've gone off on a tangent, this isn't about the thread anymore. It'd be so boring just to stick to the topic 100%. You're way too easy to provoke NOT to deviate from the main topic.

Anyways, your turn.

I am from the Osage tribe, but after they did defeated us, it did not end there, they did put us on land, to mostly starve us back in the early 1900's or so. But they would also kidnap the children to make them forget there lang and cultren. Hell because of that, most of the Native People dont know how to speak the lang. I dont know how to speak Osage. The Goverment made sure of that in the 1900's or so. I belive they stop doing it in the 1940's or so.

African-American slavery is by far the most tragic episode in all of American history.

I agree with this statement. However, your casual dismissal of the achievement of this country's founding fathers is laughable. In both it's stated purpose and lasting achievement, the Constitution is the greatest political document ever framed. Although it is easy for you to skoff at the 2/3 compromise clause, this decision was not reached without a considerable amount of moral and political debate. For the southern states, slavery was an integral part of the agrarian economy - a part that could only be thrown out at the expense of destroying a whole region's wealth and accustomed way of life. Even so, most of the slave-owners associated with the constitutional conventions deplored the practice and longed for the will to do away with the institution (Jefferson and Washington most notably). While this doesn't excuse the failure of the founding fathers to act on their better moral conscience, it does put the matter into context, as does the fact that, from the perspective of the Northern, non-slave holding states, refusal to compromise with the South on this issue would have most likely meant the failure of the states to form a united federal government.
