yeesh.

"sit down" was the best part of that.

He was going to say: pay no attention to the whites who freed the slaves ...slaves who were sold around the world by blacks. - thaz right. what now, beotches?

[NY65912]

I was once singled out for being white and my ancestors must have owned slaves. I responded that when these events were occurring here in the new world my family were busy picking grapes and olives in the old world (Italy), my family had nothing to do with it!

Maybe it's time to move forward.

I have never owned a slave. I've never even met a slave.
I don't know anyone who has ever been a slave or has owned a slave.
Talk about a sheltered life.

Sorry!

[Shaun @ Tru6]

If you were living during the time of slavery, would you own a slave? Don't rely on today's climate, put yourself back in the day. Would you be the sort of person that owned slaves?

Spoken like a true Democrat! It's way past the time to move on from this.

I think we can forget about the holocaust too, and 9/11.

Then again, I keep reading the same crap every year here during black history month.

Maybe you guys are the ones who should move on from tired old conversations. Bullshi-Cough, cough.

[onlycafe]

is it a coincidence that black history month is the shortest month? hmmm.

I was a sex slave to my last ex....I'm not sorry.

[Dana Norris]

I really do not give a damn.....

Guys, I just posted this because it was a funny skit. I think the skit was tongue in cheek.

I, in no way would ever insult a race, religion or culture.

Lets not PARF this up.

I cannot concieve of how anyone (in the past) could "own" another human being.

I grew up with neighbors who sported tatoos on their forearms, and lost many friends in 911, one can never forget the terrible things that men have done to one another.

But I do believe we as a united country should move forward. I just wish that the "hip-hop" culture or whatever you call it would stop the glorification of horrible behavior and join the rest of society. But, I no better since I see the divide everyday in my journey through one end of Brooklyn to the other. Pretty sad, things will never change until we all realize we all share the same air on this vessel in the vast sea of the universe. It's just another funny video.

That clip is nothing more than sarcasm. It's a SNL skit for Christ's sake. It's meant to be funny. It's a parody of angry black youth, parodied by black comedians. Don't make it out to be any more than it is. Lighten up.

This is so silly. Lighten up Francis.

[Dana Norris]

Sorry was not my intent to PARF this thread, just do not see a need for a Black,White, yellow, or
Red history Month. We are all Humans are we not?
Dana.....

P.S. the SNL skit was kind of funny, also kind of degrading.

I talked to my cat about this. He looked me in the eye and said "sure I would".

I agree, why not human history month. But no, we have to single out one group for recognition.

It was just an interesting (to me) question. Looks like we have a lot white guilt here.
