Joe, I think religion got the blacks through the vigilante violence, enslavement, lynching and impoverishment for generations as it did whites as their masters. Turner and Brown aside, they never sought retribution.
Your prediction of a "recipe for wild disaster," however, is close to current writing that the American love affair with guns is because they are terrified that those who were subjugated will seek revenge. Do you think it will happen?
In spite of an imploding economy, white Americans becoming a minority, a lunatic far right and survivalist cults, I don't think so. But still James Baldwin said the film Birth of a Nation "is really an elaborate justification of mass murder."
And now, Joe. Fact is the white man let the blacks out of slavery....the blacks did nothing. The way I see it they owe the white man....

The Founding Fathers were deeply conservative with notions of blacks as property. Their Constitution carefully disenfranchised blacks, American Indians, women and the landless...
... God's teachings of fairness and love contributed to putting Obama in the White House. How else could it have happened?
Once again, Burger King is out with another bag of soggy Whoppers. There is NOTHING in the US Constitution that specifies against any race (the XV Amendment was an affirmation) -- and most of the Fathers were adamant against slavery. And, as to Kingy's second Whopper (with cheese) might I suggest (1) a completely corrupt media (2) a completely inept Republican party & candidate (3) the promise of endless "freebies" for the idiot masses and (4) massive voter fraud... just for starters. Let me assure everyone that "God" had nothing to do with it. (hell, He let Hitler get elected out of "fairness and love"!}

Jim, sanitizing lost glory, blaming have-nots for dysfunctional government and an economy imploding from weak regulations and greed, is a stretch to me. The prosperity of the United States grew on slavery, the blacks.
It will be interesting what citizens of colour make of our countries as whites become minorities within the lives of members here. Canada is muddling through a big multicultural experiment. God knows how it will turn out.
I expect the GOP will surprise all of us with its choices, its accommodation with the demographic realities. It won't look anything like the last time. The country clearing the colour barrier should make the rest easy.

To paraphrase a line from "Apocalypse Now".. You are, quite literally, insane.

King: What we have are vastly and extremely differing outlooks in regards to responsibility and accountability. I have no expectation that this abyss will ever be bridged. I've been observing what going on in the Country for 70 years and I find little positive that occurred due to the efforts of those with your extreme liberal views. Fortunately by the time this Country sinks into the economic pit Liberals dug for it I'll be long gone. Again; I feel true sorrow for my grandchildren. As an aside: Those of you who watched that Chinese commercial real estate development couple on 60 Minutes last Sunday were given some insight as to why China is now economically surging ahead after years of being smothered under the yoke of Socialism.

uh no, wrong again King "Most" American did not want him elected,both times.Corrupt media,massive voter fraud-and and IRS in cahoots with the FEC to suppress tea party efforts and a very weak RINO (both times) is what got him elected.
He is now enjoying his vacation,playing golf with hedge fund titans and dining with the,again corrupt media (NPR last night) to further the goal of destroying thsi country just like Bill Ayers taught him !

The prosperity of the United States grew on slavery, the blacks.... Always entertaining King. One fellows 'have-nots', is another's constituent, or more literally, useful pawn. Actually, a constituent gets representation in return, not patronizing. The US owes all to slaves and we need strong regs. If waders are in the discussion, it's much more interesting to read your stories of Black ducks dumping into a honey hole out on some pristine marsh.

"... stories of Black ducks dumping into a honey hole out on some pristine marsh."
Ooooo, now that's edgy.
And just another example of how black creatures can ruin something once pristine.
Like Detroit, Atlanta, Newark, Washington D. C., etc...
(no animus toward "Honey Holes," of course)

Bob, Americans almost unbelievably only came around in the 60s to a Catholic being president and not taking orders from the Pope. Few could have imagined a black president in our lifetimes. That's the fairness, tolerance and love I'm referring to, big changes of heart, rooted in Christ's teaching. It's a revolution in the country's ethos.
