		<description>Your words do not anger me! They make me smile! I for one LOVE truth! The only people that would be angry are the ones that want to go on believing the LIE, all the while knowing the real TRUTH! Today, blacks and whites that &quot;are not&quot; all about HATE,  need to keep talking about things &quot;TOGETHER&quot; (history, culture, beliefs,and why we believe the things that we do, our differences) And we need to do this all with an open mind and a readyness not to quickly judge the other. Some cultural differences does not mean that one is right and the other is wrong! It just means different! Differences are unique and beautiful. They should be respected not condemed, unless it is hurtfull to society as a whole! We need to be ready to love not hate! I feel that so many people dont even want to listen! They want to HATE! Even if they hear and Know the truth coming out of your mouth, they still just want to hate, because you are not just like them! How boaring the world would be if we were all the same! 
Another thing I have noticed is that the truth coming out of someones mouth can be so undesputable at times and still, you will have eye balls rolling and an unwilling ear! Why? Because that person does not look like you! But let someone else say those same truthful words with your skin color and they, are looked up to and oh so right!
We have to want love, we have to want to listen, we have to be willing to except the truth know matter it be good or bad, or what color skin the lips of the truth is coming from!</description>

		<description>Some did, yes, but there were numerous Black slave owners that did it for profit, the same as White slave owners. There were less of them of course, but there was also fewer africans overall.</description>

		<description>In the year 2000 I independently published &#039;For God, Coun try and the Confederacy,&#039; a book about a frre, wealthy, educated black family of New Orleans. I wrote to show that black people were ore than just slaves.  Although book clubs and civil war organization welcomed the book for its historical truth and significant, the black community shunned me.  Wearing the badge of &#039;slavery&#039; weighs more importantly than the truth. Knowing we were more than &#039;just slaves&#039; psychologically will do more to help our children.What more the emphasis is put on education, which pretty much guarentees you not becoming a slave to today&#039;s society.  My book is stll available on Amazon.</description>

		<description>You are a genius. can you please jump in my brain. normally when you read comments under articles you are confronted by the complete crudeness of character by many. you are a gem in an internet community of loudmouths, trolls, and angry naysayers. thank you, you might not know this, but your words like yours bring hope to an ever-discouraging world. I hate sounding so cheesy, but honestly you really struck a chord.</description>

		<description>hey! everthing is not all black and white. here I read a lot of truth and ignorants here so befor you make a not so bright comment, study history on a non bais level. Rudolphf R. Windsor book. is a good start [valley of the dry bones] . history is interesting we can&#039;t do anything about the past but the future is attainable prejudice takes a back seat to humanity, if your life depened on someone to save you would you ask what their race is and would you care?  the only race that matters is the human race, the devil have you fretting over black, white, yellow, and brown. their is good bad in all races. theirs fine women and ugly good looking men and ugly men in all races.  its ok to support your race or familly. but dont turn it into a sickness like the kkk. killing innocent people. because when you die you must face the internal being. non beleivers will see Godbless you all.  JT             </description>

		<description>Right On, Brother Trust.  I couldn&#039;t have said that any better.  We must learn the truth of our past so that we can begin the healing that would allow us to strive to produce a better world that we ALL can be proud of.  There are people out there just waiting for us to weaken ourselves so that they can invade and ENSLAVE us all as AMERICANS.  Peace.  Shmuel</description>

		<description>I am European (Hungarian to be precise). History, all history people have been taught has been nothing more than lies or manipulation of the truth. The powers behind the curtain use these lies to manipulate the ignorant masses and control everything from stock markets to how we, the &quot;irrelevant folks&quot;, eat, think and go about our business. I think it sad when I see folks who don&#039;t know their own people&#039;s history, and this seems to be especially true in America... not just among blacks but whites as well. It amazes me to see how much America has been &quot;dumbed down&quot; over the years. I would say that slavery has never truly gone away, it only re-invented itself. 

Contrary to what people think, most slaves did NOT get treated badly. I&#039;m not just talking about the more recent black slaves in the New World, but slaves through out history in general. Slaves were expensive to keep. The owner had to feed them, clothe them, house them, get them doctors &amp; medicine when they got sick, etc... so as you see... it cost the masters quite a bit of money to maintain slaves. Whipping and beating them would have been as stupid as someone now-a-days getting out and beating his/her car with a baseball bat, because it wouldn&#039;t start. Slave ownership didn&#039;t go away because man has suddenly reached some higher level of consciousness. Slave ownership went away only once the technology got good enough to replace the many slaves with one simple machine, which was cheaper to keep and operate. But... what to do with all of these free slaves? (Again... I&#039;m not only referring to the blacks who were slaves in the New World). Well, the bankers came up with the perfect solution. Create an entire nation of what I call &quot;happy slaves&quot;. It was quite genius... really! It didn&#039;t matter what the color of these new slaves&#039; skin was, the bankers were going to get filthy rich! 

It used to be that the &quot;American Dream&quot; was the pursuit of happiness. That happiness meant what ever it meant to each individual. That, how ever, wasn&#039;t good enough for the bankers. People&#039;s &quot;happiness&quot; wasn&#039;t going to line their pockets, so they had to come up with something better. But what? It had to be something that would put people back under their control. Then it hit them... HOUSING! From that point on &quot;home ownership&quot; was touted to be the American Dream. Of course, most people didn&#039;t have the money to outright buy a house, so they had to go and beg the bankers for a loan, which they had to pay back with heavy interest. By the time the average home owner paid off his/her loan (if he or she ever did), it was 3 times more than the original loan. This ensured that the &quot;happy slave&quot; kept his job, did what he was told and paid back the money he was given for his hard work.

Most Americans work at least a 40 hour week. In most cases, if there are 2 adults in the household, they both have to work. This doesn&#039;t leave much time for the average American to raise and maintain a family. These workers bust their behind to make &quot;money&quot;, and then give it right back to the new slave owners... the bankers. The American happy slave now has to pay for his own food, water, health care, housing, transportation, education, entertainment, etc... Most Americans are even giving the money back to the bankers faster than they are earning it. What has this type of lifestyle done to the American family? There&#039;s more stress on the happy slave then ever before in history, there fore family structures have taken a hit and divorce is now the norm. Children are growing up in multiple homes and are taught that self esteem is more important than knowledge and achievement. The best Americans can hope for is that their children go to school and become an &quot;indoor slave&quot; (lawyer, doctor, etc), as opposed to those outdoor slaves who work in manual labor or minimum wage jobs. 

I guess my point to this whole thing is that slavery has NEVER been about skin color. It&#039;s always been about financial status and blood lines. If, through out history, you were one of the fortunate people to be born into a monarch family, for the most part life was alright. The monarch&#039;s had their own sick problems to deal with, but that&#039;s a topic for another debate. How ever, I&#039;d say that over 90% of all of man kind wasn&#039;t that lucky and there fore had to endure the life of slavery in one form or another. The next great down-sizing of mankind will come once robot technology is good enough to replace manual labor. It&#039;s coming, and only a matter of time. Those of us who&#039;re not fortunate enough to be a blue blood are indeed living on borrowed times. </description>

		<description>It is believing in and practicing the slave master&#039;s religion that continues to suppress the potential for an evolutionary process for black people. Ask Barack Obama!</description>

		<description>To Dream 2010

I can&#039;t teach everything; my hope is that my comments will encourage people to learn more history.  African did sell African.  But understand Europeans sold Europeans in slavery, Asian sold Asian, Indian sold Indian and so on and so on. Think how did the Irish get to the West Indies and the Americas? England defeated them in war and gave their lands to the Scotts (also called Scott-Irish, Scotts in Ireland). Just because a people share a continent and have the same skin color doesn&#039;t mean they love each other.  During the height of the slave trade there were several tribal wars in Africa.  The losers of those wars make up the over 80% of slaves.  Enslaving your enemies is common among every race of people, not just African. That is why modern Africans don’t really relate to slavery much.  We, to them, lost our battles.   Another way that Africans were sold is if they were debtors, criminals or witches- who did this also English.  Let’s face it the rich don’t like the poor and weird cluttering their view.  Lastly, Africans were stolen and so were poor whites.  Many were said to have been “whisked” away and sent to the West Indies to be slaves.  The African didn’t see themselves as doing anything wrong because everyone else was doing it.  The thing I want people to understand is that all this is race based hate is foolish.  The first Africans in this country were not slaves, and about 3000 of them were no different than the rest of the indentures until about 1640.  They gained there freedom, owned land and married white people (No race mixing is not new).   There was a time when our fore-fathers didn’t see color.  Blacks, poor Whites, and Indians bonded together as slave and their enemy was the rich, so the rich divided the races to keep from losing their good thing.  They wanted to keep the whites—who had dealt with them in Europe away from the blacks and Indians because they organized revolutions.  They wanted to keep the Indian away from the African and poor white because they showed them how to navigate the land and escape, and they wanted to keep the African from the Indian and the white because the made white babies and white babies can bland into society, black babies stand out and can never blend in.  In the end, it’s all a game that has us still at each other’s throats while the rich get richer, and the poor bail them out. In the end, if you are angry after reading this good that is what it is meant by “truth hurts.” Let it sting so it can heal and stop picking at it… </description>

		<description>History shows you to be right in nearly everything you say. What I never see discussed is the fact that black Africans were first enslaved by other black Africans, who kidnapped them, bound them, and marched them to the coast to sell the victims to the white traders for shipment to the Southern plantations. People can&#039;t pick and choose which villains to include in history. This reminds me of the other great lie of the 20th century, namely that the Fascists were &#039;right-wing&#039; while Communists were &#039;left-wing&#039; and somehow more virtuous. The truth of this matter is that both Mussolini and Hitler were socialists, as anyone can discover by simply reading what they wrote as their goals, and examining the economic policies they pursued. The only difference between Stalin and Hitler was that Stalin exterminated millions based on their class or their political opinions, whereas Hitler exterminated (fewer) millions based on their race or their political opinions. There were no real differences between the two monsters. They were both psychopathic socialist mass murderers. Mussolini, on the other hand, didn&#039;t go in for extermination of any kind.</description>
