Southern Lawmaker says “Get over slavery”
Southern Lawmaker says “Get over slavery”
A state legislator said black people “should get over” slavery and questioned whether Jews should apologize “for killing Christ,” drawing denunciations Tuesday from stunned colleagues.
Del. Frank D. Hargrove, 79, made his remarks in opposition to a measure that would apologize on the state’s behalf to the descendants of slaves.
n an interview published Tuesday in The Daily Progress of Charlottesville, Hargrove said slavery ended nearly 140 years ago with the Civil War and added that “our black citizens should get over it.”
The newspaper also quoted him as saying, “are we going to force the Jews to apologize for killing Christ?”
Black lawmakers swiftly denounced Hargrove’s comments.
“When somebody tells me I should just get over slavery, I can only express my emotion by projecting that I am appalled, absolutely appalled,” said Del. Dwight C. Jones, head of the Legislative Black Caucus.
Del. David L. Englin also criticized Hargrove’s remarks, recalling that his grandparents were driven from their homes in Poland “by people who believed that as Jews, we killed Christ.”
When Hargrove rose to speak, he told Englin he didn’t care about Englin’s religion. “I think your skin was a little too thin,” Hargrove said as lawmakers gasped and groaned.

And think about it...what if blacks in this country mobilized like America under Bush to destroy "Racism", and "bigotry", and "prejudice", and hurt those who were guilty of harboring those who are purveyors of that crime. Blacks would be called blood thirsty, racist monsters themselves. But if it is a mianly white idea, with some good propaganda behind it, it's all good. So what thousands of innocents are dying over our agenda, it's collateral damage.A Ghost wrote:I didnt even think about that....perongregory wrote:"we will never forget 9/11. "

I've always been anti-racism. Anyone Ive ever met that is racist or had said racial things, I told them how I felt about it.perongregory wrote:And think about it...what if blacks in this country mobilized like America under Bush to destroy "Racism", and "bigotry", and "prejudice", and hurt those who were guilty of harboring those who are purveyors of that crime.

Some listened, others didnt.
I know there is an unequal distribution of wealth coupled with a disproportionate criminal justice system and institutionalized racism.
Its only a matter of time before the ones on the bottom cant take it anymore and the whole thing boils over and something major happens.
However what happens if 1 person sympathetic to equality that isnt black gets hurt?
What if no one knew that person was sympathetic?
Is that collateral damage?
I dont know, Im sick of race in general
Im sick of all the BS
People fighting over color? Its retarded

Well people in power need fighting to maintain there power and to gain more power, and ignorant people need an ignorant reason to fight.A Ghost wrote:I've always been anti-racism.

As for as your first few questions...I guess it is collateral damage, because that person wasn't actively fighting on one side and we dont know there allegiance, just as we don't know if those Iraqui civillians we killed were sympathetic to us are not, they are dead and gone.

You saying this is acceptable? killing of civillians whether sympathetic to you or not, is not acceptable.As for as your first few questions...I guess it is collateral damage, because that person wasn't actively fighting on one side and we dont know there allegiance, just as we don't know if those Iraqui civillians we killed were sympathetic to us are not, they are dead and gone.

I'm saying technically I guess it is collateral damage if we base it on how America operates in Iraq. I'm not endorsing civ. death.frozen fire wrote:You saying this is acceptable? killing of civillians whether sympathetic to you or not, is not acceptable.As for as your first few questions...I guess it is collateral damage, because that person wasn't actively fighting on one side and we dont know there allegiance, just as we don't know if those Iraqui civillians we killed were sympathetic to us are not, they are dead and gone.

Theres a lot more interracial mixing going on now than there was a long time ago.A Ghost wrote:I've heard people talk about an impending race war thats immenent and all that, and to me its stupid.
I dont think its gonna happen,
Ive heard comedians joke about Blacks and Whites as being like a couple.
They live together, but they are always fighting, like husband and wife.....

Re: Southern Lawmaker says “Get over slavery”
I believe he should ask whether Romans should apologize for "killing Christ."'X' wrote:Southern Lawmaker says “Get over slavery”
A state legislator said black people “should get over” slavery and questioned whether Jews should apologize “for killing Christ,”
And that's if your non-Christian. If you are Christian you would believe that Jesus clearly gave up his own life, which we are ALL responsible for.

The more they want us to forget, the more we should bring it up for discussion and remembrance. This is why we should support music and movies the raise the subject.
Do you see how quickly the era of the late 80's and early 90's was dismissed, because Spike Lee was making movies that MADE is talk. Public Enemy, X-Klan, and Paris, among others, was making music that gave us no choice but to THINK!!!
As they were all pushing a message to "Fight the Power", we were suddenly inundated with music and movies that encouraged us to kill each other. Anybody who thinks that shit was an accident is sleep-walking through life.
