That'll Play Well Around Here

An emailer just pointed out this story that was just posted on CNN.

I fully expect the Wise County Commissioners to have a similar resolution on the next agenda.

Well, can we imagine that good old Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson are involved in this in some way?

Stupid. A waste of time. Any sensitive American KNOWS about the injustices blacks have suffered.

Enough is enough. Don't we have enough other problems to deal with in this country?

Sheesh.

Wise County Commissioners News Bulletin from yesterdays meeting:

"We are poised to apologize for Slavery" as soon as we figure out what poised means?

Also are those public boat ramps in Newark still open for "Whites Only". They still have residents that claim it is in their property deed. When questioned about this .. the commissioners said that they struck down the "Whites Only" portion.

Isn't that kind of like taking down the sign above the water fountains? Psst .... It is still a sign of racism WC.

How stupid. We feel the need to make a 2008 public apology for that? How sickenly "politically correct"! No wonder Islam feels they can kick our butt. They see our nation as a group of self-absorbed, crying, whining, namby-pamby babies, who can never let go of the past. Makes you want to puke. Of course those "Jim Crow" laws were wrong, and that was acknowledged a LONG time ago! Good Grief!! Get over it!!

yes i believe anyone who can prove he was a slave should be apologized to, and should be given at least 1 million dollars..but if'n they can't prove they were slaves they should be lynched....stupid f'n niggers!!!

If they do this and the apology is accepted, does that then mean that the blacks will apologize for never paying for their boat rides here from Africa? Either is as stupid an idea as the other!

Such blatant political pandering on the part of our legislators to attempt to achieve high marks on the "PC" scale. Anybody want to guess the term starting with an "R" that will be applied to any represenative voting against this bill?

I think nearly universally when someone says "slave" everyone thinks of the US and our Civil War. I havn't been able to get my head around that one as:
Slavery was abolished in Englands Territories only 30 years before the US.
It was only outlawed in China in 1910. Though in practice there are are hundreds of thousands of people living in slavery there.
In Mauritania slavery is practiced more or less openly with over 800,000 slaves.
In Burma 800,000 people are held as forced laborers with no rights and no way out of their situation until they die,escape or are bought out= slaves.
Niger-Nearly a million slaves.
Thailand-Tens of thousands of sex and domestic worker slaves.
China-slavery still very wide spread at brick plants and mines away from cities-especially in remote north.

10:40 - so which "party" is in "control" of the Wise County Courthouse.

Democrats, turned Republicans. Even the Wise County Judge, who by the way is related to BG.

And will this get posted?

I am wondering if I can get Spain to appologize for their actions in 1492. Not for the actions of Columbus but for those of Isabella, who in that year gave my ancestors the choices of converting to Christianity, leaving the country, or dying. I also want all the illegal aliens from Mexico to appologize for the actions of their ancestors in Spain. This is the most stupid thing I have ever heard. Throughout the history of man people have been wronged. But none of us, nor our government, are responsible for what our ancestors did.

Is an Egyptian also an African American? Why not? Egypt is in Africa...so....What about other races, including whites, that were born in Africa yet became Americans? What about blacks that were born in, say, England yet are now Americans? Why are they not English-Americans?

I ask you seriously as a race what great contributions have african-americans ever made to this country? And for that matter what has their race ever done for their beloved Africa?? Do you know that still to this day Africans have not yet figured out how to utilize the wheel..no clue as to agricultural/farming, industrial/manufacturing or any other contribution to mankind as far as I can tell..if I'm wrong please correct me....

9:54 Yes you certainly must be corrected about why the civil war was fought. The Civil War was fought over states rights, not to free the slaves. Abraham Lincoln is well documented saying that if he could save the Union without freeing the slaves, he would not free a one. This information is readily available, however you are correct in that most people believe the CW was about slavery, it was not, the southern states wanted to succeed from the union. The reason the north was finally able to win was financing..plain and simple $..There were 10 times more union troops killed than confederate's. However the north had England and Switzerland backing them, while the only ally the south had was France.

714 to say african-americans have never contributed to american society would be a little bit of an understatement..are you forgetting hip-hop, gangster-rap, creation of millions of new jobs in america(police/prison guards/new jail construction, etc. etc.). as for their beloved africa, i'm afraid i can't argue with any of that..it's very sad, but so, so true.....

8:13 as in every major war for the past 300 years,the victors have all been decided by financiers/bankers. most folks don't know this, but our world is and has been totally manipulated by a small, very secret group of men, mainly european, but not exclusively. these men have total control of what we know as "THE FREE WORLD"..in other words all countries who participate in the CENTRAL BANKING SYSTEM..sort of like a parent to our FEDERAL RESERVE BANK..it's all tied together...more to follow!!

917 maybe BG would consider some open discussion about this subject..if this is true then it should be known by all americans!! please tell us more..

It is not..it is wholly owned as a private bank, but supposedly "regulated" by US Govt., it's actually controlled by 300 year old banks in, you guessed it..SWITZERLAND AND ENGLAND..hummmm..!! guess what..??FED meetings are so secret, even congress can't get info..check it out..!!
