Title: I really don't get the big deal about Black People. . . . Post by: Mechaman on April 10, 2012, 03:43:05 PM I mean they are like SO OVERRATED.
Also, our Economy was so much stronger when Slavery was still legal. EDIT: NO DON'T HATE ME I'M JUST A YOUNG WHITE MALE WHO HAS HAD LITTLE EXPERIENCE OUTSIDE OF HIS OWN FAMILY AND I'M JUST ABASING THIS ON MY EXPERIENCES.

I think you will still "win" though (just by a mere 10-1 margin or something). :P Title: Re: I really don't get the big deal about Black People. . . .

I don't see why they should count at all - that 3/5ths thing was just a political trick by the South to get more representation, no? For economic purposes they were similar to cattle or hogs. What was the white population of the US in 1860? Title: Re: I really don't get the big deal about Black People. . . . Post by: H.E.

They've been a critical player in American history from the beginning of the colonial period. And what to do with them has been the seminal question the entire time. Without black people, you wouldn't have the United States. You'd have Canada.

Black, white, blue, potato doesn't matter. Title: Re: I really don't get the big deal about Black People. . . . Post by: DrScholl on April 11, 2012, 05:49:49 PM What a silly post.
Title: Re: I really don't get the big deal about Black People. . . . Post by: Grumpier Than Thou on April 11, 2012, 05:55:34 PM I like all people. Black, white, blue, potato doesn't matter. If one is blue, it likely indicates that they are suffocating. Stop with your damn girly feelings with "liking" them and help dislodge whatever is constricting their airway.

Stop looking at me like that.
