[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 58814"] Slavery in its simplest form is involuntary servitude. So that means that there were white slaves then also. Those that were enticed into indentured servant hood. While they thought they were getting a good deal, many of these poor souls ended up dieing before they repaid the debt. As far as the article, I have a problem with it. It would seem that the major contributors cant agree on how long slavery lasted. And I would suspect that it lasted far longer than most people think in the north. Still cant relate why something that was written 30 years ago is all that relevant. But then again, I look at life through rose colored glasses I guess. I think, no I know, in this country you can become anything you want. All you have to do is go for it, make it your sole desire and act on it. You cant just sit by and think it will drop into your lap. As for slavery, racism and the low scores on the tests, while I did not give credit for the clips I used, I did show them as quotes. And so my question remains. Why cant they answer correctly the questions asked. And if studies show that the same child will do much better in a white home, then what is wrong with a black home, and why is there no support for the student at home there? It would seem to me, if you have statistics like that, there should be a great awakening in the black community. Lets fix what is wrong with our system of child support. There are many black ministers that have taken stands along these lines. So it is not just my thoughts on the matter. As for racist ideologies, the great LF is a racist. I do not have a problem one with interracial marriages: I chose to hire someone that is black married to a white woman. But he does. HE is the fire that keeps racism alive and burning. But anyway, getting back to the original post, the article does really not claim that racism is the cause for the underperformance of blacks. What it does is state that the 42 presidents of the US have chosen to either look the other way or actually support the idea of slavery or Tom Crow. So actually instead of science, it is a real political piece. d [/QUOTE]
