Slavery? Is like the Holocaust whereby the entire of humanity has to grieve for eternity to make the current unaffected feel secure? You can’t pay a debt to somebody you don’t owe money to and expect that takes care of the people that really were stiffed.

What about lynching would you have us remember, that the Democratic party from the southern states voted against making the Dyer anti-lynching bill law in 1922? Or would you have us forget that extra-legal mob killings happened in many places but we’re only allowed to remember some of them because they were because of race? Check out the ones in Washington State, they were more like the rest of the country in that the victims were white. But we’re not supposed to remember that anymore are we?

I will grant that the Klan routinely used it against “enemies” regardless of the victim’s skin colour. Which party currently has a former grand kleegle as a sitting senator?

Sorry, but the above comments stand

See this is exactly why his holiness Obama is getting the free ride in the media. To dare question his motives, policies, or actions is to risk being labelled a racist and white america is so petrified of that stigma that they’re willing to risk handing the keys to the country over to a socialist political neophyte and his wingnut running mate.

Be careful what you wish for, America… change is coming – but I don’t think you’re gonna like what the changes are…

Remember the lynchings?

Perhaps an ACTUAL side-by-side photo comparison may shed some light as well.

How about analyzing the facts before making a knee-jerk reaction/photoshop.

The same thing with the Godiva rides for UBC engineers. When we tried to go non-sexist by having both a girl and a guy, we were told a girl on a horse is on a pedestal for all to see in her shame, but a guy on a horse is a symbol of power.

Don’t disturb the left with ideas like “equality”, they’re too busy re-crafting the world to consider minor points like that.

oh, and “anon”, I’d urge you to look up some of Thomas Sowell’s writings on slavery. The anglosphere is just about the only part of the world where slavery is not currently found, and yet it tries to hold itself responsible for what was once seen as the normal state of being for everyone but citizens of the strongest state. There must come a point at which we are all equal, or the constant back and forth of revenge for past actions will cause more wars and ensure that racism can never die. If the effegy of Obama is wrong, then so is the effegy of Palin or Bush having the same thing done to it. This universally applies unless you think that Obama isn’t human, he’s a Black Man, and is therefore held to a different standard. I chose to consider him first and foremost a human.
