    Whats even more redicculous is hearing certain people whose [b]ancestors[/b] were enslaved for a hundred years or so telling the rest of the world how hard they had it when weve all had ancestors spend nearly a thousand years in slavery as if they were special for some reason.

  • Southern pride in what? Committing treason? A civil war that left countless young men dead? And, once again, the main point: enslaving an entire race? As a southerner, I don't feel a lot of pride in that.

  • So you won't be satisfied until an equal number of white people have been oppressed and killed? How many deaths will it take until you are able to let go of what happened in the south?

    [quote]Comparing hundreds of years of slavery, murder, oppression, segregation, hate[/quote] This is my one and only big problem with Americans .... they can never just get the -blam!- over things. They drag things out until people all over the world are sick of hearing about it. We get it, slavery bad, it was a damn long time ago move on already.

  • Nope. I remember when France, Spain and the Netherlands kicked the asses of the troops we had in America at the time. I remember the colonists being so desperate they needed other European countries to pull them out of the shit before they had their arses handed to them. I also remember them turning up late to 2 wars that other countries had been fighting in for many years thinking that entitles them to worldwide glory when the truth is, the only people that give the slightest shit about either of those is Americans and Americans alone.

  • Actually they supplied. The colonist won the war. And if America hadn't intervened, especially in WW2, Britain was going to fall. Russia would have still won the European front.

  • Nope, they did the fighting. The colonists were well and truly screwed. Without European help you would still be flying British colours and spelling your words correctly. Yes, you intervened. Late, twice. We were in the shit but it doesn't matter, it was a long time ago. America are still the only ones dwelling on the past when the rest of the world stopped giving a shit many moons ago. The part of history they seem to forget is, without Britain, there would be no America. The past is the past, nothing anyone can do about it but Americans dwell on it like it means something now. The worst part is, they seem to think the rest of the world dwells on it too. Hate to bring it up but it's relevant, 9/11. It was 14 years ago, most of the world moved on months after it happened yet it's still brought up like every person in every country still cares. To put it another way, my kids weren't born when it happened, they don't know about it. They may hear about it but it will have zero impact on their lives, it was just something that happened before they were born.

  • The only reason I even brought that up was because it pisses people off. In all honesty, I say Americans do have a problem with hanging on to something. Just ask Bin Laden This clinging is the reason our crime rate is so high, guns or no guns. A bunch of racist people about 150 and 40 years ago caused this.

  • No, but are you saying that since PAST bad things happened, it's ok for bad things to happen TODAY? Are you keeping a body count so that when the number of blacks killed by whites THEN = the number of whites killed by blacks TODAY, THEN everything will be ok?

  • What about the hundreds of thousands of Union soldiers who fought to free blacks from the confederates?

  • Slavery was not the cause of the civil war. The Civil War was started because the north and south had different political views, and mainly because Lincoln wanted to preserve the union. Tons of people in the north owned slaves. The northern soldiers did not fight to end slavery. Although Lincoln did want to end slavery , it was at a later time. He said himself that,[quote]"I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so."[/quote] This is from his first inaugural address, so prove to me that the civil war was started because of slavery, and the soldiers were fighting to end slavery.

  • Actually slaves were valuable property and they weren't killed unless they couldn't work. When there were dangerous jobs the plantation owners usually hired the southern white trash to do the dangerous jobs that could get them killed
