How predictable! The remarks were shameful, and were not taken out of context. You have merely indicated that in viewing the entirety of his speech, you agree with his statements. This is perhaps what momentarily threw Obama, most of the Democrats he knows, agree with Wright, so he had no particular reason to think anyone would question his attendance at Wright's church for twenty years.

The remarks are as contemptible when considered in the full context as they appear in the youtube videos. We'll see if the independent voters are ready to drink the Marxist kool aid.

benz

all slaves were owned by about 300,000 families. the population was about 15 million at the time

98 percent of "white" people existing now immigrated to the usa after the war and never have had anything to do with owning slaves. I dont know who your "WE" is

the total number of slaves brought to the usa was about the same as the number of people killed by hitler in the Ukraine
It was farless than the number of people killed in cambodia and orders of magnitude less than those killed by china. These people are dead. no survivors.

It was far less than the number of slaves taken during the ottoman empire from russia and from eastern europe. About a million Europeans were enslaved just in Northern Africa. Slavery stinks, but the usa was hardly the worst or the last. Brazil had slaves until 1879, and Saudi arabia had slaves until 1969. its still rampant in Africa. does black liberation theology exist in Serbia or turkey or in Brazil?

it was far less than the number of chinese brought over as indentured slaves or the numbers of irish brought here in packed death ships ( I think)


According to history texts, like war and peace and war, the Indians killed 80 percent of all the europeans in the Americas between 1600 and 1750.

there were over 40000 known indian massacres of european towns families and outposts

the Indians got their licks in

What he said, especially taken out of context, may not have been politicly correct, but he wasn't wrong, imo.
