it's the daily mail, so who knows what's really going on, but the article is here
| Quote: |
In Hubbard's, he writes that African Americans must 'understand that even while in the throes of slavery, their lives as Americans are likely much better than they ever would have enjoyed living in sub-Saharan Africa.' |
He forgot to mention that while most immigrants today had to pay there way to get here, they got a free trip!
now, i hate to fuel the liberal media conspiracy theory, but why is this coming out today. this pundits book was published in 2009. |

Lets be absolutely honest, if there were no slavery, there wouldn't be Barack Obama. America's first black president.

No need to apologise. The bizarre and extreme opinions lurking within the rape-ublican party need to be exposed.

And this matters, why? Why not discuss the sitting president's views as they relate to his religious leaders and social circles. Way more relevant than some nobody from Arkansas.

Maybe, but I wouldn't want to give the impression of being an Obama supporter.
@pjp: At least for my post, Obama doesn't support state-sanctioned execution of disobedient children. Even if the person in question is a nobody, it's still hilarious to see such nutjobs running for public office. |
