Holy shit! In the 1700's people were really into Christianity?

You're completely full of shit, back when 'we used to be the greatest country', there was also institutionalized slavery. Fuck off.

Those paintings demonstrate the white Euro-centric view of the world that most educated people today no longer accept. Columbus may have been a Christian, but his enslavement and murder of Native Americans isn't something Americans should really be proud of.

You're joking right? Right? RIGHT?!

If anything the bible was used because it probably was the most accessible in those times for people to learn how to read. There weren't any Barnes and Nobles back then.

If you ever took any type of History class you would know the Africans sold slaves to us...it wasn't right...but we didn't capture them, their own people did...so we weren't the ones in the wrong originally.

They also considered blacks 3/4ths human. Did Americans pre-enlightenment have some great ideas? Yes. But were they as intelligent as people seem to think they were? No. Just no.

The fact that people worship the founding fathers/preindustrial colonists/pilgrims, etc. Annoys me to no end.

Maybe people use greed as an excuse to do too many things but I dont know too many people (or anyone) who would give up the chance to have money to do the right thing.

Also it was simpler times back then. Things change. Technology advances. Populations grow. Business change. Cities were built. Stop demanding the present to be like 200+ years ago.

Not at all. Ever. Never. Etc., etc. Some people, believe it or not, don't sell their souls for $$$.

Wow. Fuck off. It doesn't matter if they 'weren't in the wrong originally', they were still involved in slavery and human trafficking. Have I mentioned 'fuck off' yet?

Suck it up I was just stating what happened.
Slavery was awful. Probably the worst things our people have ever done. But I was just saying that as mad as the black man wants to get at us, their people were equally if not a greater cause for it happening.

What did they think we were doing when we sent ships over with shackles and took the people they captured?
It's not rocket science.

What you're basically trying to say is I'm some sick fuck who is "condoning" something, but I'm just presenting the facts so stop bitching.

Took two years of African American history. College course. A- and A.
So for me to even consider believing you over one of the top 10 universities in the nation...you can get out...now...please...for real.

Anything that's Anti-Christian/Conservative on this forum catches so much flack just because a bunch of insecure dimwitted people feel their opinions (especially in gang-type responded messages) are actually doing something to me or my opinions.

We saved the world in WW2.

If America isn't the greatest country ever which country is?
We help in many wars that aren't even our own. Most the time when we need help in wart people turn their backs on us.
Ask Japan what happens if you attack is. Who aided Haiti the most after a terrible earthquake?

Yeah. US. (Can be read as us, or U.S. ;-))
