I love cowards…I post something then someone uses my name as giovani is an idiot…but that’s okay he’s just trailer park trash anyways….the difference is that when people do some wack stuff it’s natural to defend it but that’s built into your nature….And as that idiot stated the Mongols fired dead animals into some Euro country…but that;s the exact thing…he didn’t come in peace offerng the dead animals….the Mongols didn’t claim to be civilized…Afganistan was only conquered by who…the Mongols…but they didn’t claim they were spreading democracy ….the said we gonna kick your ass and they did…not here you go my friends here’s blankets infested with malaria and small pox masquerading as friends…to me that is more evil than what the Mongools did…they didn’t say here’s dead animals cover yourself at night with it as it would keep you warm…but like I said that’s why we rank so low when it comes to education and obviously common sense…but deep down inside you feel it…the need to justify what your ancestors did…..and then some idiot wnats to state I was from the north…that didn’t mean s.h.i.t cause most of them still had slaves…they may have gotten a smalle piece of chicken thrown in with the bread and water they were normally fed…but keep telling yourshelves that cause what goes around comes around….would it be ironic if Americans ended up as slaves to the Chinese let’s say…come learn…go get an education.

RE: C Fatz

I never said slavery was excused. I wrote: “One of the worst crimes is to ignore that whites bought slaves from other blacks (more often than not, from black mulsims in africa)” and also stated that it is going on today.

My point was that their is a hypocrisy where only whites are condemned when so many other races and cultures (such as Muslim Black Arabs enslaving the Christian and animast blacks in east Africa).

It is a hypocrisy to blame only the whites when their were two sides to slavery, the black and white face (the blacks who sold out other blacks).

In order for true atonement, all guilty parties must recognize their wrongs. It would be racist to only blame whites and ignore the slavery crimes of other races and cultures who practice and facilitate slavery because those cultures and races are not white.

You should read clearly before stating a conclusion “and that makes it right”.

Good luck in your legal career.

If an NBA player said he did not support Obama for president and worked against Obama, I suspect he would not last long in the NBA. Racism is alive and well in the NBA .. believe it ..!!!

Very interesting point Steve J. Normally, when it comes to people wanting independence I say just give it to them. If they’re willing to sacrifice the benefits of being part of a larger, stronger, more unified nation, then that’s their loss.

However, I can’t see myself supporting the secession of Southern California from the US anytime soon. Not only would it undermine the stability of the “United” States as a nation, it could have far reaching political, financial, and social ramifications around the globe. It just wouldn’t make sense on so many levels.

I guess the issue of national sovereignty is more complex than I originally thought. There are two sides to every conflict. Thanks for reminding me of this.

Education on world history is crucial to understanding-Kosovo is a region in Southern Serbia, which is not populated by Kosovars, but rather Albanians, who through the years have migrated to the region and are now the majority in the area. What if say in 50 years, the Mexican poulation in Southern California decided that they no longer wanted to be a part of the U.S. and its governing laws, and claimed sovereignty as a seperate nation. Would that be accepted? Educate yourselves and understand that the Albanian mafia-which is solidly entrenched in Kosovo, deals in drugs and is flooding Congress with tons of Lobby money to get all the world support for this cause.

Oh, I really came to this page to salute Bill Duffy and what he is doing. When I get my law degree I’m going to start representing players as their agent. Then I’ll be the SECOND ethical sports agent

So that makes it right? If a black man sells a black man, I would be justified in purchasing, enslaving and abusing that black man?

The notion that if I don’t sell drugs someone else will is the flimsiest of pretexts to excuse an immoral behavior. If I don’t enslave a man somebody else will is no excuse to participate in this hideous chain.

Dry up the market for drugs and the dealers won’t be able to sell drugs. Eliminate the purchase of humans and you’ll eliminate the sale of humans. Right is right and the enslavement of humans of any color or gender IS NOT RIGHT.

RE - African Enslavement - The white man could not have enslaved black people by themselves. One of the worst crimes is to ignore that whites bought slaves from other blacks (more often than not, from black mulsims in africa). in fact, the arabic word for a black person is abeed (slave) or “raisinhead”, both used in the “holy” quran.

The black slave trade is still going on in east africa

Giovani Fereira - the first chemical attack was not done by whites, but by mongols when they invaded ukraine. they would catapult dead animals infected with plague over the city gates so that the local population would die of disease, and they would not have to fire a shot.

Don’t know why we talk about Kosovo in this forum, but it’s not that clear that they are a country. people from Kosovo are immigrants from Albania, that’s not interested in recognizing Kosovo as Albanian and getting in trouble with Serbia. THEY want to be a country, but what if a small village says they’re a different country? States should ALWAYS let them be independent? I’m not saying they shouldn’t, just that this line is hard to draw.
Nice interwiew!
