Jason S:
The ignorance is shown clearly by you J. I can also give a long dissertation to say nothing.
I am well aware of the Arabs and history. Yes capitalism has made America the most powerful nation. My point was The Dems address the social ills of this country. The GOP instead pretends they are nonexistent. With that said posters like yourself and Lily don’t understand in our 400 year history. Of the 40 years of so called social and economic freedom there is no doubt socialism is debatable in a positive light.
Now I can give give you a time line of Black American history and in that time line you would not find any time AFTER slavery that Black Americans had a fair hand. We can start with the Black Codes of the north and south and finish with the Jena 6. You can throw in the Reagan drug scandal. That’s where they made money selling drugs in Black communities to finance the Contras. But if you really wanted to know you would.
It Amazes me how people can actually try to polish up slavery. At the same time ignore why Britain outlawed slavery. And why Slavery ended in the U.S. Britain outlawed slavery to weaken the U.S. and it was becoming expensive when slaves began revolting. The U.S. outlawed slavery to fuel the industrial revolution as well as to quash uprising and fear. Bless all the abolitionist, but they were just the thorn in the side.
VVV
I fully understand your point. But look at the reality of that community. All they saw was hard work and heartache. Then hard work and corporate socialism. People are tired. Why should they believe? It hasn’t happened. Nobody is giving up. But I would give some of my bread to the disenfranchised.
