Chat,
First, you just rattle on without stating any facts, just 'feel-good' sentiments.
Contrary to what you and zillions of others have been led to believe (thanks to the abyssmal public education system now prevalent for the last 40 years), a slaveowner "paid" for his labor a heck of a lot more than the current day 'welfare.' He/she was responsible for the labor from cradle to grave - food, housing, clothing, medical, etc. And, if a slave committed a crime, the owner was responsible for the damage. Are you still looking for '40 acres and a mule' or is Nobama gonna get that for you? What's your point? Common sense is sorely lacking, but not by me.

Dear North...as my mother would often remind me, "Son, you can tell a lot about a Yankee; you just can't tell 'em very much!" She must have had you and your ilk in mind. Aberham Linkum destroyed the Constitution. He destroyed our republican form of government. He did NOT invade the South to free the slaves. He DID invade the South to protect his tariffs, the South of which contributed over 3/4 to the national government, yet saw little in return. No wonder the South seceded. And, they did not secede to protect slavery. The Constitution already made that provision, as well as the fugitive slave law. The South, once it seceded, no longer had the protection of the US Constitution. They had far more important issues to leave the union than some specious pretense of freeing black folks.

Chat,
You are one of those 'sheeple' who will fall for just about anything, including the glib-tongued, prompter-reading NObama. I do NOT want anything from Barry and his sycophants.
I am NOT ashamed of my statement regarding slaves. It is only the unadulterated truth. I do NOT suffer from WGS - White Guilt Syndrome. The barriers will always remain upright, not because of racism, but because of natural selection. It's in the DNA.

Teach4Peace,
Without giving you another history lesson "101", the South did NOT secede because of slavery, no matter how much you wish to flatter yourself and others who believe that ilk. The South was INVADED by a foreign country. Lincoln did not invade the South to flee slaves. He invaded the South to protect his punitive tariff, the lifeblood of Yankee economy. Wars are not fought over lofty, sentimental ideals like 'slavery' - they are fought over M-O-N-E-Y. What part of any of this do you not understand? The colonies could secede from England, but the South not allowed to secede from the North? Hello?!
Blacks who like living here in America should thank God for being descendants of slaves. Without that, they would not even exist - at any time or any place. I'm sure that concept escapes your logic, as well. Do the math.

Forget that he's half-white/half-black. Look at his CHARACTER. He is an evil man, surrounded by evil people. There have been many inspirational speakers along the way - Lenin, Mussolini, Hitler - who lulled the masses into a false sense of security, promising them anything the people wanted to hear, then turning on them like a ravishing wolf. He will attempt to undo all that has been accomplished in this country. But, there is alive and well a conservative underground who will not let him lead this country into oblivion. I can't wait to hear all the racial accusations...racist, bigot, etc. I say, "And, your point is...?" Thank God I live in Texas - we are still a republic, and can declare ourselves free and independent. The South had the right idea in 1861. Seems the President of the Northern states at that time was also preaching 'peace and harmony', then put the land into war that cost over 620,000 young men and boys, not counting over 50,000 civilians, black and white. History does repeat itself.

I believe the racial 'barriers' will, ultimately, be set back. No political cartoons or satire will be allowed (racist bigotry, you know), free speech will be greatly curttailed, and anything he does will (or, will not) be based on the color of his skin in addition to the content of his character. And, he IS a character. It is a sad day for America, not because a half-white man was elected Prez, but because this particular half-white man was elected by millions of Kool-Aid drinkers. I, for one, will take care of me and my household without NObama or his ilk.

Cash cow, awrite. A 'stop light' is designed primarily to regulate cross traffic. If one comes to the 'camera' light, stops for a reasonable period of time, and there is no traffic in any direction to 'regulate,' you have complied with the spirit of the law, perhaps not the letter. However, if you procede thru the light, you'll still get ticketed for running a red light.
This happened to me not long ago in Lufkin, TX. No matter - camera acts as policeman, judge, and jury. I thought about going to court over the matter to confront my accuser, the camera. The ticket shows that a local PD has 'reviewed' the photo and determined I went thru the red light, so I guess he would be my 'accuser' in court.
Welcome, brave new world, and Big Brother.

Altho' I no longer live in Natchez, my heart will always be there. Here in Texas, it's called 'pride.' I've traveled all over this country, and never do I go into a state that displays their state flag like they do in Texas. I see thousands a day, from homes and businesses alike. Mansion to mobile home. Doesn't matter. Rarely are they tattered and torn, regardless of economic surrounding. Yep, it's the little things that count.

I see that the Communist Party USA has endorsed NObama. That sure makes me feel better. NOT! The sheeple are being led to the slaughter by this socialist, and I and my family will not be part of it.
NObama is a liar, a charlatan, and will doom this country. Take it to the bank. On second thought, don't take it to the bank.

Chat,
Reading between the lines, I assume you are in the armed services? You must be fairly young. In any event, thank you for your service. However, I am sure Obama is going to protect us all, so I can sleep well at night. If not, I know how to protect myself against enemies, foreign or domestic.
No one wishes the 'peculiar institution' of slavery to resurface in this country or anywhere else. However, people (educated or not) are unable to accept the facts regarding slavery and how 'evil' the South was. The simple fact (as you state) was that Africans were enslaved first by their own people, the best 'kept back' to serve the tribal chieftains, the remainder traded to Portuguese, Spanish, French, and English traders, soon followed by the Yankee merchants of New England. 80% of those carried from Africa ended up in South America and the Caribbean. Unless they emigrated to the United States following 1865, I am merely making an historical and mathematical fact that those black Americans living in the US today owe their existance to Africans brought over during the 1700 and 1800s. You must have gotten the 'History of Slavery' taught by Jesse , Al, and Kweise. By the way, "Roots" is fiction.
