1. "BLACK SLAVERY" NOW? OH DEAR. WHAT HAPPENED IN AFRICA CENTURIES AGO DOES NOT EXCUSE THE PRACTICE OF WHITE VS. BLACK SLAVERY IN THE STATES, WHATSOEVER. 2. BLACKS WERE NOT "DOING FINE BEFORE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER." THEY HAVE ALWAYS HAD IT ROUGH IN OUR COUNTRY DUE TO RACISM. YOU ARE ONLY DIGGING THE HOLE DEEPER FOR YOURSELF, HONEY. 3. OKAY THEN, MY TURN TO BE "EMPOWERING" TOWARD YOU: OPEN A HISTORY BOOK. DO SOME RESEARCH FOR YOURSELF. BUT EVEN MORE THAN THAT, YOU JUST NEED TO TALK TO PEOPLE.
