Didn’t the south have to be rebuilt after the Civil War?

They must be talking about the north.

[SixFoot]

Has to be. They benefited the most out of the slavery nonsense.

No one minimized the evil of slavery here. No one. But neither did we elevate it like you© people do to be the great enabler of the white man.

Its you© who think it was so great… not me.

The problem in Portland can be boiled down to…Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler said Tuesday the best thing the federal officers can do is stay inside the building or leave the city altogether.

When Portland is destroyed, will the mayor then ask for federal funds to rebuild?

The civil war was not over slavery.

Of course he will. Any death. mayhem, lawlessness or destruction will be blamed on others as follows:

1. Trump
2. COVID
3. Racial inequality
4. Hunger
5. Federal agents
   Feel free to add your favorites.

Sure it wasnt. Slavery was s non issue and even was not really a problem. Many slaves had it better here in America so they should have been thankful!!!

Sounds like it was the Europeans and Americans who knew how to become successful. The blacks in africa who owned slaves didnt become as successful? If slavery of black people was the ticket to success… why is that. It sounds to me like if there had not been black slaves in America, big farmers in the south would have still become successful.

So I’m calling ■■■■■■■■ on the claim that America was built on the backs of any one color.

I simply have no words for this. You can call ■■■■■■■■ on anything But it does not change the fact that slavery was instrumental to the building of the nation.

There is nothing contradictory in being a proud patriotic American and acknowledging in our past we indulged in a vile and reprehensible practice.

Turns out I did have words afterall.

Not so much. Most people even in the south had no slaves. None of my ancestors owned slave but were hard working farmers. Millions of others could tell you the same.They built the country on their own backs.

I have to call bs on your claim as well.

We probably would have accelerated the development of farm machinery had the plantation owners not used slaves. Not the slaves fault but … just saying they didnt really help us grow economically.

Personally, I think we owe black people, not for their backs, but for their spirits. Yes they were oppressed. And they turned that into faith and hope and a spirituality that was what I envision was present in the Hebrews when “all the people said Amen”. And that spirituality flowed over unto white people so that we talked about deliverance and freedom from slavery in a spiritual sense. Yep… that is the greatest contribution of the black people to this country.

Yeah great. What a crock of ■■■■ and what a way to minimize the evil that slavery was.

I am going to walk away from this thread before I say something which will get me banned.

Slavery and the civil war are long over. I don’t get the desire to try and keep fighting it other than to play politics in an election year.

“We”?

Then the nation it was instrumental in building was destroyed then rebuilt without slavery. You’d have a better argument for the south being rebuilt on the back of Jim Crow.

I live in Virginia. Do you think they just went in one day and dropped that song on the spur of the moment? People were calling for that song to be gotten rid of long before then. They got rid of it when the benefits of getting rid of it finally outweighed the benefits of keeping it.

Forced labor.

That works too. Or cheap labor.

Who was the poster that used to lose their mind when the R&B singer Ashanti came up, because the real Ashanti tribe had practiced cannibalism or something at one point?

OT…
