a slave cost about $381 in 1800.

$1 in 1850 ~~ $24.26 in 2006.

so 381 * 24.26 ~ $9,243

Lazy as shit, that's what....

Peter Griffin: The South? Isn't that where all the black guys are very lazy and the white guys are just as lazy, but they're angry at the black guys for being so lazy?

being lazy=the american way

I'll pay ~$9,000 for those kind of slaves :bigthumb:

for that sorta $$$$, that is too much.

Hmmm no rap, or stupid talk that you cant understand.

I would make a career change ot a slave trader. probably would be a lot of cash in that.

^ but I'm sure being a slave hunter would be more fun...

you bastards. i'd be the one coordinating the underground railroad.

you bastards. i'd be the one coordinating the underground railroad.
I would be the one hunting you down, infiltrating your ranks, and then selling the recently "freed" slaves right back into slavery.

Do that three or four times and then see who wants to try and escape.

everyone! freedom is worth the price!

One of the film professors at my university recently released a movie at some big festival which I think is title "What if the south had won." An article I was reading about him made it seem like it was always fighting for black rights/equal rights and had been doing so since the 70-80s. When I had him for a film class he didn’t seem too bad. I would have guessed he would of be shoving Spike Lee joints down our throats.

haha i just wanna be in that same ship

You guys are stupid. Fighting over whether to free them or not. Hell, I'll pay someone to organize the underground railroad, capture them all again, and SELL them back to their owners for the trouble it's caused me.

Selling stolen property back to its rightful owners right under their noses = badass

What would the uS be like?

It would be impossible for the U.S. to still have slaves this long. That would would mean the rest of the world would be completly undeveloped. At some point in time the rest of the world would have united in an effort to destroy
America.

America would demolish nazi germany in terms of atrocoties commited on mankind.

There would be no need for the KKK or the NRA.
America would be what its lowest common denomenators want it to be.

I just like the idea of no rap and them always talking in what seems to be a foriegn language. And the fact that most white people(well around here at least) cant get a job because if a black gu applies its like he/she automatically gets the job. Im not racist or anything just fed up with some of the shit they can get away with cause there black.

The USA still has slaves - only now they're called 'sweat shop workers' ;)

Now THAT I'm not used to seeing very often... Most of the time it's the other way around, at least here... lol

Why do you think I didnt get an office job. Cause someblack guy that would do the job half as good as I could gets the job because of the equal opportunity act. yeah equal as long as your black.

My mom works for the state and has to make runs to the welfare office every tues, and friday. She comes home one day and was like "you know what i just noticed. Half the people on welfare spend there money on food and housing. The other half drives cadilac, wears fancy over priced jewelery, and has never had to work a day in there life." I drive down there just to see if she was over exagerating, I see a guy that looks like hes ad a damn bad life walk out and get into a beat up old pickup. Next lady walks out with a couple of kids and goes to wait on the bus. The next five people that walk out of that office, are wearing clothes that I am sure cost more than my FB, bigol rings, necklaces, bigol rock in there ear, and then one hops in a 05 escalade, the next into a newer BMW 325i, mercedes, nice ford truck, and a supra.

Yep they sure did need that money alright. Fucking system. About gay as hell. And low and behold that on average a welfare check for a black person is 250 more a month, when they dont even need it.

But you know Im not racist or anything I just say it as I see it. I also believe a white guy can be a ******. But hey thats just me and Im from the boonies and am old fashioned. So yeah. Ok im done bitching.

^So what if they do. The kkk still is'nt classified as a terrorist org. or recogednized as terrorist group by any Law Enforcment or goverment agency.

Except in Charlston, South Carolina.

The KK was once considered "America's preeminent terrorist organization" the KKK has become "...a fragmented and amorphous collection of independent groups and individuals, constantly squabbling over diminishing memberships and limited resources."

Of course, the original Klan was disbanded in 1869. The new KKK came aling in 1915, and has never been the fearsome terrorist organisation the original was, though the new KKK did manage to kill a few kids in a chirch basement bombing, etc.

Sounds like a video I saw on the clan back in 92.

They understand that to spread thier message in a post 911 world will take an element of finess not previously needed. Guess what, they don't ride hooded and on horseback through the streets in the middle of the night anmore.

I would like a sex slave.

Why? You saw what happened to Thomas Jefferson....

I'd buy DAK and make him clear the back 40... Get out there and chop down those trees, boy! LOL

Heh, just playing along with that thought I can already see that there'd be two problems:

1.) You probably wouldn't be able to afford me, since educated black folk back in the day went for a pretty penny... One with my skill set would DEFINATELY not be purchased for the same rate as a common worker.... Same principle still applies today....

2.) You wouldn't have me out there doing hard labor where I could potentially "damage your investment".... Most high-cost slaves were always kept as househands where they would aid with their owner's lives, rather then business... Taking care of the kids, cooking, laundry, grocery shopping, etc...

Even IF I was something that could be bought, I'd still be living a pretty easy life... :evillaugh

Except that you wouldn't have been educated... I would have bought you at 10, maybe 12 years old, and you would be busting ass around here... Picking up dog shit, mowing the lawn, trimming the bushes, etc. LOL

Asshole.... lol

:D

I could see ur swordsmanship skill set used to yield more cotton in the fields.

while u do that sing some psalms........... YZF-style and u hack the necks of them cotton plants........

"I'm gonna get me a katana and kill all the whiteys i see...."

why waste your money buying a Black Person when a Mexican can do the same shit a fraction of the cost???




















sorry to all the Mexicans that I offended that was a really bad joke....:hide:

I hope I didnt come off as a racist im really not, and thats kinda rare around here, sorry if I affened anybody

Ahhh, calm down... Nobody got offended....

Usually it's safe to say you're in the clear if you haven't gotten a stern post from me, especially when it comes to race matters of the black kind.... ;)

^Whatever DAK. You put up with way toomany comments that you think are peopel just playing around so you don't get upset.

Saying things on the net is one thing, but I highly doubt it'd be so easy to do the same if a person involved was in actual earshot/face to face....

That's my philosophy, at least.... ;)

Unless they want to put someone in jail for reacting to words with assault.

Or play it cool and have whoever said the comment arrested for assault.

gotta admit that blacks were much more well behaved back then on the average.

Nowdays, sorta like letter out wild manimals run amok......

gotta admit that blacks were much more well behaved back then on the average.

That's like saying "Gee, Jews sure did have an interesting sense of fashion back then, what with that yellow star and all...."

To this day, i'm not sure why people don't understand why things are the way they are...

Blacks haven't really been free that long. I'm not talking about Emancipation Proclaimation bullshit back in 1865, I mean like 1960's to present. That's about 40-50 years. That's not even a full lifetime that blacks have really been free.

When you oppress a race for such a long period of time, ya kno, 300+ years and all, it's going to be a while before the entire culture will adapt and become productive as a whole. It's nearly the same as the Diffusion of Innovation, and I consider myself an early adopter. I don't let race get in the way of me being successful. Sometimes you have to swallow your pride and try to beat the odds.

Now hang on just a cotton pickin' minute - a gold star is a reward for good behavior! ;)

I was just making sure I didnt affend anyone. I go on those lil rants and forget about what other people think.

Naw, it's a free pass to the shower at the band camp.......

Mit-uns kommen!

Stop being such a damn crybaby.

I'll give you a hunk of melon if you do!

Those are good points. I mean, blacks didnt even get to vote until 1965. That's only 41 years. Some (most) of our parents were growing up while blacks didn't even have the right to vote. If my race had been treated like animals for a long time, then treated as 3/5 of a person, and still mistreated today despite the way it's covered up, i'd probably be a little bend out of shape myself. For the record, i'm 18 and white.

:werd:

My grandmother and mother shared plenty of stories about how life was back in the day for minorities growing up in the hills of VA (where Zero Cylinder lives, to be specific).... When I think about those in addition to my own experiences in my lifetime, I've got more then enough things to get pissed off about with the world....

However, it's just as SpartanTS suggested.... You're not going to get anywhere in this world by living in the past, all you can really do is move forward and be the bigger person when it comes to some people....

"Turning the other cheek" isn't only a Christian moral, after all... :D
