You expect "good whites" to pay for their sins. This is collective punishment. Are you responsible for black crime?<BR/><BR/>The white kids being disenfranchised by AA are living victims. The crimes are ongoing. And you justify it with "two wrongs make a right"?<BR/><BR/>Now, back to your false premise. You claim that today's blacks have been done wrong by the transatlantic trade, and whites must pay for that sin. Wrong. Blacks today are fantastically wealthy by sub-Saharan African standards. SSA has such low standards that when I tried to find stats, I could only come up with a few kinda-sorta proxies a few years ago. But, the ratio is something like 50:1.<BR/><BR/>Thank goodness for collective justice; now I can present a bill to blacks for all the good my ancestors did them.<BR/><BR/><I>My kids are paying for the sins of whites long since dead.</I><BR/><BR/><I>And whites long since dead benefited from their sins against black people, life is hard.</I><BR/><BR/>Wow, there's the stance of a real moral paragon. What's next? Go kick a white guy in the teeth and tell the cops his ancestor kicked your ancestor in the teeth?<BR/><BR/>Newsflash, an ancient crime against one's ancestors isn't a license to steal.<BR/><BR/>"Life is hard." Now we're approaching honesty, finally, from "Truth." He doesn't have or want any rationale. He just supports AA 'cause it's good for him. Don't like it? "Life is hard."<BR/><BR/>I guess no good deed (manumission) goes unpunished (AA? "Life is hard"). What a stand up guy. Good thing for you, most of my ancestors didn't resort to "life is hard." If they had, we wouldn't be having this conversation, and there'd certainly be no AA.<BR/><BR/><I>"We didn't have to institute these policies."</I><BR/><BR/><I>"You" didn't have to buy people, take them halfway across the world in deplorable conditions and make it illegal for the to learn to read and write either, now did you?</I><BR/><BR/>I was just reading recently that most black slaves in America came here by way of the Caribbean markets. Which aren't halfway across the world, in case you didn't know. Dunno how true it is, but food for thought.<BR/><BR/>You're right though, we didn't have to buy slaves. In fact, WE didn't. I don't know how hard that point will be for you to grasp. Think hard. Think 'til it hurts.<BR/><BR/>But, the proper restitution would have been to put them back where we got them. Right? I mean, if transporting someone in slavery halfway 'round the world is the sin, isn't returning them halfway 'round the world the proper restitution? Isn't that all blacks in America have a right to demand?<BR/><BR/>But you couldn't drag them kicking and screaming back to the fabled motherland. You couldn't pay them to go back.<BR/><BR/>How about the sub-Saharan Africans who sold the slaves? Do they bear any responsibility? Or does responsibility stand for "has money" in your moral universe?<BR/><BR/><I>"AA is a white creation."</I><BR/><BR/><I>Nor really, in African slavery, it was a couple of years of hard work followed by being gifted some land and given a wife, why was that not the policy here?</I><BR/><BR/>And you know this how? Ye olde oral tradition? You probably think African slavery is (note the tense) okay because it's Africans doing the enslaving, right? (that's a rhetorical question, you've already provided an answer)<BR/><BR/><I>There is no such thing in this world as "generosity". You give a dollar to a bum because it makes you feel good, not because it makes him feel good.</I><BR/><BR/>LOL. Which is a nice way of saying "I never have to say thanks."<BR/><BR/>But it's an illustrative quote. Earlier, "Truth" said:<BR/><BR/><I>I wouldn't use "generosity" in this sentence.</I><BR/><BR/>First, he debates whether x is generosity, then later he obviates the very word "generosity." So much for intellectual rigor. Why bother debating whether something's generosity, when there's no such thing as generosity? I'll tell you why - when words mean nothing, when you have no character at all, you'll say anything.<BR/><BR/><I>"Meritocracy would be color blindness."</I><BR/><BR/><I>I agree, but only from day one, not 200 years later.</I><BR/><BR/>Obviously, the context here is that "Truth" thinks whites harmed blacks economically, which is an inversion of the truth. Tens, if not hundreds of millions of sub-Saharan Africans would trade places with a black in America, ANY black in America, in a heartbeat.<BR/><BR/><I>Once again, every whiteman on Isteve.blogspot.com invented electricity, but none owned slaves.</I><BR/><BR/>Again, I need you to try to think REALLY, REALLY hard: declaring that whites are the golden goose of history is in no way tantamount to declaring group responsibility for good or ill, or advocacy of collective judgment. Eat some fish, take your vitamins, and think REALLY, REALLY HARD.<BR/><BR/><I>Can we afford wars in desserts overseas and welfare to rich bankers?</I><BR/><BR/>No. This is your idea of an argument?<BR/><BR/>Trust me "Truth," you're doing black men no favors by posting here.<BR/><BR/>I repeat: "Truth" is a reverse nickname, like a fat guy named "Tiny."<BR/><BR/>P.S., as a further illustration of "Truth's" allergy to intellectual honesty, observe how I respond to him comprehensively, and how he cherry-picks his responses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-1584175018237358182009-02-25T03:32:00.000-08:002009-02-25T03:32:00.000-08:00This is so true.

From what I understand, he didn't just beat her up, he bit her in a few places as well. <BR/><BR/>Even though both of them have a mostly female audience (this is R&B, not rap), that audience is to a large extent siding with him.

(To be sure, several people expressed sympathy Rihanna as well. How could you not? I don't know her from Adam but it does indeed hurt to look at what he did.)

For me, t...I learned English as a foreign language. For me, the main difficulty in learning the language was that it has a lot of words and idioms. The fundamentals of grammar are relatively simple (as are those of the other two Germanic languages I learned as foreign languages). But there are some tricky aspects to English grammar once you delve into it a little deeper.<BR/><BR/>My native language is Finnish. Finnish is agglutinative and has a complex system of inflection of verbs, nouns, adjectives, and even particles. For example, even the word <I>no</I> can be inflected in several ways. Obviously, I'm blind to the difficulty of Finnish as a foreign language.<BR/><BR/>(Note that I prefer the notion of <I>foreign</I> instead of <I>second</I> language. This is because English is a language of aliens to me, not something I'm forced to know to be able to integrate into society.)Markkuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12459969689345560778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-6623245586042799602009-02-21T12:20:00.000-08:002009-02-21T12:20:00.000-08:00"According to the Cambridge and Webster's dictiona..."According to the Cambridge and Webster's dictionaries, "inflexional" isn't even a word, and "agglutinative" pertains to forming words, not to grammar."<BR/><BR/>Some dictionaries skip over the adjective forms of words, especially if those words are themselves nominalizations of verbs that aren't particularly common to be begin with. Most people use "inflect" to mean a variation in tone of voice, and that is obviously not the linguistic sense the person intended here.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't use the term <A HREF="http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/inflexional" REL="nofollow">inflexional</A> myself, but it doesn't sound too bad to me ... "connexion" used to be an acceptable alternate spelling for "connection", etc. <BR/><BR/>Inflected and agglutinative languages do have distinct grammars. The previous poster was merely offering her/his opinion that English has fairly simple grammar. (I have no opinion on this matter.)<BR/><BR/>Agglutinative languages distinguish between grammar and word formation much less than English does; a word in an agglutinative language can convey as much information as a long phrase does in English. Said phrase necessarily involves grammar - it stands to reason that in an agglutinative language, a word could be grammatically incorrect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-65519914855437044852009-02-21T10:00:00.000-08:002009-02-21T10:00:00.000-08:00There is actually a considerable 17th and 18th cen...There is actually a considerable 17th and 18th century American slave connection to Barbados and the Caribbean.

These English West Indians had already known the defeats and successes of such a task, and brought with them those "lessons learned" on the island of Barbadoes and instituted them in colonial South Carolina. It was these settlers who brought along plantation management and African ancestored slaves. Initially, many of the slaves came from the West Indies, mostly from Barbados when they came with their owners.<BR/><BR/>Alexander Hamilton, one of America's founding fathers was born on the West Indian island of Nevis<BR/><BR/>Many of Louisiana's slaves came from Africa VIA Haiti, or were born in the latter. <BR/><BR/>And let us not forget that many Virginia slaves were apparently imported from the Caribbean islands, rather than shipped directly from Africa.
