If a person is a slave they aren’t being treated well. There is no such things as a good slave master. Slavery is evil…period.
And number two. my ancestors were here first. Remember all those people that used to live here? If you can use that “it was normal” excuse then I’m preeettty sure that same arguement applies to abortion. And yeah they were hypocrites. I don’t put the founding fathers on a pedestal. They had nothing to do with me. I’d either still Be in Africa or I’d still be here on my land.
What do you mean I wouldn’t be able to say what I want to? Are you saying they were so magical that they entrusted us with the power of speech? Again. deifying a simple man. I’d still say what I wanted granted probably not in English. Don’t look back at the past with such rose colored glasses. The world was a horrid place. Last time I checked the Iriquois had their own constitution. And BTW american black people can’t really be conseravatives. Most of us don’t see the world through the eyes of priveledge. we see it through the lens of suffering and oppression. It would be impossible for me to ever think like you. I see poverty, I see death, I see cosumerism, materialism, classism, racism, disease, hopelessness, misogyny. We always look at the otherside of the message that the mainstream media is trying to convey to us or about us. Sorry I don’t buy your happy slave BS.
Last time I checked…Thomas Jefferson was boinking his slaves. That’s why he took such “good care” of them. You are more than welcome to hop in that time machine and go backwards. I prefer to go forward taking into consideration that unlike you, I don’t want us to be doomed to repeat our wretched past. That’s the only reason I read history, to learn what NOT to do. I do not want to live in a world where I have to wear what men tell me to wear,marry someone in order to survive, Have my intelligence questioned simply because of my sex OR my skin color.
Sure I’m judging the past but in a more realistic modern perspective. Just because they did things that way back then does not make it excusable. Not by a long shot. He’s your hero, not mine. We don’t choose where we are born, when we are born, how we are born, or what sex we are. What do choose is what to do with our lives. I always thought it was such a wonderful twist of fate that Benjamin Franklin a non president ended up on the 100 dollar bill. He was deeply against slavery but also wrote many letters about how women should be equal to men. If i’m a Liberal, so Is Benjamin Franklin. But I no longer find that title offensive as it seems those who keep hurling it at me are eurocentristic, classistic, and just plain in the dark about the world and the depths of suffering brought on by human oppression. I don’t have the ability to explain that in words just how it feels to see the world like I do. You see al these negatives brought on by feminism. But in doing that you are fooling yourself into beliving that the worlds problems are so simple that things can be so easily fixed by throwing one “ism” out the window. That’s no different than an atheist who thinks the world will suddenly drammatically be better if religion were simply eliminated. It doesn’t work that way. do you realize how optimistic and unrealistic that is? even when slavery was abolished, that didn’t compltely fix the problem. As racism did not stop existing. Even though women thought abortion on demmand was going to improve their lives, it was an unrealistic assumption. It didn’t fix rape, incest, or poverty. You have to look at what needs to be improved. Always. You can’t simply revert back to how things were and rest on your laurels. The cheese is always moving. It’s a constant process. I by no means think that just because of feminism, everything is perfect. I’m fairly perfectionstic and there will always be improvemments to be made. The only Father that deserves the reverence you give to the “founding fathers” is God. I don’t worship the constitution like it is some sort of god. The constitution was written by men and ergo deeply fallible. People are no more sinful now then they were then. Politicians supported slavery then like politicians support abortion now. Everyone does it…It’s normal!
So what? It’s still evil. I don’t care if it’s “normal”. Abortion is normal but it’s still evil right?
Say it aint so!
YOU ARROGANT …Ever heard of indentured servants? Ever find out how an all black slave population came to be?
:clapping:
Some women have gotten really goofy! Like they are princesses and all that matters is them. If I were a man, I would not put up with it, nor would I even look twice at one of these gals. In my business (female barber) it makes me sick to hear how men are treated by their wives and girlfriends. They act like they are whipped puppies, but if they don’t comply, their lives will be even worse. What a big mistake. Nothing makes a woman nastier that a weak-acting man, IMO. When men lovingly take charge, they will get the respect they deserve and things will get back in the proper order. Please men, don’t let women take over!
