Researchers find slave ship wrecked off the Turks and Caicos Is...

WHAT??? This can't be! The article says:

"Some 192 Africans survived the sinking of the Spanish ship Trouvadore off the British-ruled islands, where the slave trade was banned."

----------

That means "people of color" - Hispanics - were enslaving other "people of color" - Blacks..?

This is Politically Correct heresy!

Even worse, it says the old evil White British Imperalists had banned slavery!!!

Quick, somebody call CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, The Washington Post, Boston Globe, NY Times, and every other Leftist propaganda outlet. WE'VE GOT TO CENSOR - oops, I mean...get this right wing conspiracy snuffed!( Yea, that's the ticket...)

Yes! politically correct = historically incorrect

The Portugese and the Spanish dominated the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade in which of the 11 million plus Africans that came to the Americas less than 1 in 20 actually came to British North America/United States.

The term "Negro" was given to the slaves by the Spanish and Portugese slave traders. It was derived from the Spanish word for black and has absolutely no scientific etymology.

Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America . Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to. This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:

First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known. Blacks should go down on their knees and thank God they are Americans.

Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the ' 60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream. Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants. Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.

We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude??

Barack talks about n ew 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks. Let him go to Altoona and Johnstown and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving ' white kids. Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America? Is it really white America's fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has exceeds 60 percent?

Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3% of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45% percent of the time?

Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white
robberies were 139 times as common since 2001 than white-on-black robberies?
We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all
turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites are real, we hear nothing.
Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago.

Any excuse for black ingratitude?

This needs to be passed around, because this is a message everyone needs to hear!!!
