92. You said blacks need to get over it.
What does whether or not there are actually victims of slavery have to do with it? Since we're talking about it, slavery did indeed happen, did it not? Do you think history is just some fluffy kitten land past where a man in a beard and stovepipe hat threw a switch and all slavery magically disappeared right there and then? That there were no long reaching consequences whatsoever. That only people who were actually owned by slaves were affected, and that those affects also suddenly disappeared when the magic switch was thrown. Believe all that if you want, but don't expect the average, intelligent person to buy it.

But, anyway. You said blacks need to get over slavery. You've said it more than once in this forum. Take your flames that you may or may not have intended, and maybe learn something from them. Or react indignant as if you never expected such an outrageous response to such a warm and fuzzy sentiment.
