Thank you for that point JayMc Gee .

xoxoxoBruce , your attempts to put Negro slavery 'into context' nauseate me , particularly since I know that the sort of people who try to do this are the LEAST concerned by present-day slavery ( see your grotesque comments about the Mexicans who are 'bleeding the U.S. dry' for example ) You do not seem particularly concerned by human issues to do with women either . You do not seem to be concerned with the concept of our common humanity at all , in fact .

BobT , thank you for putting your access to higher education into the context of your own particular drama . You will know from your studies that the runaway slave had his calves chopped off as punishment . So that he would never run again . I am sure that you have empathy for those men . Those men did not have access to higher education .

You are a Vietnam War Veteran . Proportionally , there were far more Negroes in Vietnam than in American society as a whole . The Vietnamese knew this , and floated propaganda down to tell the Negroes to stop fighting a war for people who did not care for them anyway , and who only used them as canon-fodder .

Don't you think that those Vietnamese were right ?

I also know that the white American soldiers felt used too , and they came home into an atmosphere of shame , and not one of glory . This is the subject of a great many Hollywood films .

BobT , I think you should use your suffering to denounce and acknowledge the suffering of the past , instead of allowing yourself to be soft-soaped by the likes of xoxoxoBruce , who is the sort of person who sends the boy that you once were to places like Iraq in the name of America .

There will always be people like xoxoxoBruce to justify horror , and put injustice 'into context' .

For me , America should not be about that .
