Black Panthers using intimidation to stop white voters

[kingoftheforest]

One of the keys to success was the support of the local slave population. The slaves never rebelled and instead the townspeople began to fight back against the raiders.

Looks like the majority of the slaves didn't want to try. Thanks for further proving my point.

At least Mr. Brown died fighting for his fellow man's freedom. Too bad the slaves weren't on board.

Prisoners at just about every prison outnumber the guards by large margins. They could riot and stage mass prison-breaks everyday. I guess they want to be in prison.

No that's the barbed wire 30ft concrete walls and towers with shooter keeping them in.

So may actually feel obligated to stay, but I'm sure that's few and far between.
The slaves had access to weapons and saw slaves from other plantations at times.

They had the opportunity to set up a communications network and stage things like organized simultaneous attacks on several plantations. They had white sympathizers who helped with the underground railroad. They could have fought for their freedom.

They chose not to. Would you rather be a slave all your life, or die trying to win your freedom?

It's no different from an oppressive dictatorial government. Several nations have done it.

[jubaji]

are you fucking kidding me?

No. But I'm saying they had the ability to do something about it and chose not too.

That just shows how out of touch with reality you really are.

Would that be the reality of not using superior numbers to over take an enemy force of smaller size?

Or are you saying the slaves wanted to be slaves?

If you keep calling me a hippie it still won't make it true. Same with the Wicca thing.

Your apparent stupidity at this point about religions older than Christianity is bordering on absurd.

Wicca is actually a fairly new religion, The greeks, Romans, Egyptians and Ancient Sumerian religions were around way longer. So was Taoism and most other eastern religions.

Gotta say though that you and the Muslims both worship the same God just with different names and different prophets and look at that mess.

As for I am choosing to look at the way the majority of Christians act. Well if most of you act that way then that would be the norm, and all you actual good Christians would be a minority.

I'll choose to base my information of how you people act on the majority since that signifies the norm. And if so then it's more than likely your leaders fit the norm as well.

Now could some one point me to the war that atheists started over there lack of belief in a God?


I found the Muslim and Christian version of those already.

[kingoftheforest]

Are you trying to say that African slaves in America wanted to be slaves???!

No. But I'm saying they had the ability to do something about it and chose not too.

[kingoftheforest]

Suprisingly, I totally agree. There is a lot more to Christianity then just tales of the supernatural. There are moral stories in there too, not dependent on whether a person believes in a supernatural occurance or not.

And what have Christians done with those moral stories in the past 500 years. Persecuted others and each other.

And all of those moral stories in the bible existed in forms long before the bible was written.

Maybe you Christians aught to spend less time telling each other how accepting you are of others and how great your religion is and take a look at what it's done to the world.

I don't see a whole lot of cheek turning or acceptance out there. All I see is Christianity being forced on people and little boys being raped.

I've only met a handful of people who act like real Christians in my life. They would tell people about Jesus and God and accept it if people didn't fall in line with them.

If all Christians acted like those people the world would be a better place.

I myself quite enjoyed looking at the republican crowd during McCain's excellent and gracious speech. The cruel faces devoid of even an ounce of compassion or kindness. The almost all-white crowd. What a bunch of pie-holes.

If I say that almost the entire state of Idaho voted solid republican, does that mean that the entire state is racist? Oh, my bad...maybe it DOES mean that.

Are you actually mentally ill? It honestly seems like you are.

[jubaji]

You'd think if people really didn't want to be slaves in America of yore they'd have figured out that the 200-500 slaves on the plantation could have taken the 20-30 slave owners (some children) by force and freed themselves.

Are you trying to say that African slaves in America wanted to be slaves???!

[jubaji]

Then we already know about Gawd, if we choose not to belive in some fairy tale conglomerated from several religions that are much much older, than we go to hell when we die.

People who are too stupid (or too busy worshipping their own egos) to understand religion never get past the children's storybook level of understanding, and then attribute that to all adherents of the faith in question.

Typical trial lawyer- like republican. Honing in on one little word or phrase because it's all you got.

I don't have time to write a dissertation on why exactly. How about, America's efforts to free Cubans from a commie regime? How about Alpha 66? How about the huge-ass cuban exile community that has recieved much help from conservative groups. If you are really so in the dark about these things, then I can't help you. Stay in school.

Ah, D.I.



1) An awful lot of trial lawyers are Democrats

2) Insisting that you can't be bothered to adhere to the rules of logic is a very poor way to try to win an argument.

3) You can't base your response on demanding acceptance of the fact that you are too stupid to communicate logically and then go on to say something like, "Stay in school." Just doesn't work.

Interesting info about the Cuban exiles with huge asses though. They must have needed some big boats!

[kingoftheforest]

I'm retired military and I was involved in multiple conflicts over a 20 year career, that hardly qualifies me as a hippie.

Well prejudice people see only what they want to see.

[TTEscrima]

Sure, ok, hippy.

Now go get your shine box.

Not even a big enough man to admit you didn't know enough about the Bay of Pigs to have commented, you'd heard the term, knew it applied to to Cuba and an American supported invasion and went with it. The fact it happened on a Democrats watch and was one of the biggest disasters in covert ops ever was beyond your kindergarten grasp of world politics though, just own up and admit it instead of resorting to stupid personal attacks, I'm retired military and I was involved in multiple conflicts over a 20 year career, that hardly qualifies me as a hippie.

[kingoftheforest]

How many hackysacks do you own, anyway? Do you also own a Djembe? Beat it tunelessly in the park with the other hippies, and practice a little Wicca perhaps? Your referenced "older religions". That's a code word for being into Wicca, or a "Pagan". Either way, it's a totally ridiculous thing to believe.[/QUOTE]

None. I don't. No Wicca sorry wrong again. Went for the wrong ass trifecta I see.

I practice doing violence on people soooo not a hippie there.

And obviously you don't know shit about world religion. Did you grow up in a shack on the mountains with Aunt mom and Uncle Dad?

Either way, it's a totally ridiculous thing to believe.

What believing in a man who rose from the grave and will take you to paradise?

Rising from the grave would make him a zombie. So you have faith in your undead saivour.

It is a ridiculous thing.

I'm not a republican, jackass, and that should be abundantly clear to anyone with a brain. It cracks me up how you make an assertion and then refuse to back it up and you claim I'm playing games. Sounds like you have a lot of experience on the wrong side of trail lawyers, why does it bother you so when someone asks you to back up what you said?

I don't have time to write a dissertation on why exactly. How about, America's efforts to free Cubans from a commie regime? How about Alpha 66?

NONE of that explains why they'd vote Republican out of gratitude for being betrayed by a Democrat which is what you claimed.

And quit friggin making little innuendos about MB. You want to get on my nerves? Mention someone who is not here to defend himself again. THAT will do it. I like Mike, ok? And a lot of people around here like him too.

I see, it was fine for YOU to say the following, but I better watch my mouth, yeah, you're all about freedom and equality for everyone aren't you?

You are spinning too many lies, trying like the devil to convince everyone that Obama, Ayers and Hugo Chavez are one big rat pack.. I give up. This is worse then Archie Bunker. Worse then Mike Brewer, about the same as Rush Limbaugh.
