Thanks for being a bold Christian Pat. For once I would like to have an open discussion about the white slavery that took place. History has told us that far more white slaves were brutally killed than black slaves. When slaves were brought to the new world the white slaves were not as valuable as black slaves. They brought less at the auction block and for the most part were not as strong as black slaves. When slaves were treated like livestock better care was given to the blacks. It has been supressed for far too long in this country and I want it out. Check African, Spanish, and Portugese history. And lastly, slavery was brought to this country and WE put an end to it. Americans were not the ones who started slavery, but we were the ones that put an end to it. Thanks for letting me rant.

I agree with the other posts. No blacks in history have ever enjoyed what they do here in America! They have been given everything and America is still giving to them. The only people truly discriminated against anymore are whites in this country. Even if I am MORE QUALIFIED for a position, the black man (or woman) will get it because of Affirmative Action or a quote that has to be filled. Is this truly fair? Is this equality? I think not! Most slaves were not treated as bad as portrayed in movies like Roots. Regardless, this debt has been paid over and over again! The whites can throw more money at the situation, build better schools, give free college tuition, etc, but we cannot make anyone who does not want to earn a degree or anythig else. The situation among blacks as far as crime, illegitimacy, prison numbers, etc, is a black issue – not a white issue. They have EVERY opportunity to bring themselves up. The poorest kid in the poorest ghetto can leave, apply, and go to school or college for FREE but they MUST apply themselves and want to do it and most do not. Period. End of story.

You have to ask yourself at what point have we repaid our debt to the black community. The white community created Affirmative Action but I guess the small print indicated this would be a program that would last to perpetuity..I'm not sure the authors really felt that way and I'm sure the voters didn't. So, now that we have a black president can we now say that those programs worked and perhaps we should begin scaling them back and eliminating them all together. I really like what Pat says and it's the one concept that many Americans miss anymore (white, black, or any other color for that matter). Personal responsibility! It's easier to blame a group for your problems than have to face up to the fact that the person in the mirror is the sole source of the real problem.

Absolutely, I wonder if anyone like Barack Obama knows how many white men died during the Civil War in order to free the Black Slaves. As far as I am concerned their deaths paid the the debt, 100%. No further payment due.
