Try wearing a pinstripe suit or a tuxedo to a barbershop in the hood. That would also be poorly dressed. The guy with low-riders doesn't LACK culture - he just has a DIFFERENT culture than yours. Opera is not "more" cultured than "White Chicks" (the movie). It is just different. You are simply equating "different" with "inferior". |

No. There's nothing more to say than you're wrong. |

dbibeau, going to a play doesn't make you cultured or intelligent. Much less an opera.

I would think that people who can't spell immediate or intelligence lack culture and intelligence. However, I would be wrong. As you would be in your assumption. |

People it was almost 300 years ago bringing it up on a forum is not going to fix what happened. |

I would emediatly think that you lack culture and inteligence. To me that is almost on the verge of vulgar. Go to a museum exibit dressed like that. Or an opra or a play. You would get laughed at. Poorly dressed. |

I personally think that if the slaves were freed right away, they may
have become sharecroppers for their old masters, or they could head
into the west and claim land, and set up their own farms.

How are they poorly dressed? If I am sporting my $80 FUBU jeans, which were designed to ride low, and my $150 Nikes, and $2500 worth of gold chains and gold teeth, I have a very put together and deliberate look. I am not "poorly dressed". I may represent a different fashion than what you are accustomed to, but I am actually very well dressed. You might as well criticize a Frenchman for wearing t-shirts that Americans would consider indecently tight. |

Its not intended to be so, yes, but in reality it is. Having to give up your shot at a collage you have worked your whole life to get into because someone who is African American wants that same spot and his grades are only slightly lower then yours. |

Slavery was wrong, theres no doubt in that. It was important and
probably one of the few reasons our nation's economy survived but it
doesn't justify it.
So what are we supposed to do? Go back in time and free them? We've already appologized, we've made amends. Its amazing though, my family hasn't even LIVED in any part of the nation where slavery existed. My father's family came straght from Scotland and his mother came from the Midwest long after slavery was abolished. My mother's family came from Wisconsion and she came her long after even the Civil rights movement. My family hasnt had any part in slavery, but to subject us to punishment such as Affermative Action just because of the color of our skin is wrong, almost as wrong as slavery. The same goes to attacking my family about the Native Americans or the Mexicans. The only thing you could pin on my family is what happened to the Hawaiians because yes, we lived in Hawaii at the time of the overthrow and yes, we were White. Does that mean my family were the bussinessmen that overthrew her? No, my great-grandfather made molds for the gears in the plantations. However, because I am White, I have a fairly large group of Hawaiians and even Filipinos that call me "stupid hauloe" (thats a gentler varation of what I'm really called) on a daily basis. I'll admit, I havent got the worst of it. In some public schools they have "kill haoule day". Do the adults know about it? Of course they do! Heck, it was a topic mentioned on a talk radio show when a caller asked about if the schools are safe and the host basically told her it was "no biggie". So in summery for those who dont want to read the whole thing, slavery was wrong, but to blame it on an entire other race is just as bad. |
