Question for Dan

Maya Angelou - I don't personally like her work, but she has touched the lives of millions and is an exemplary humanitarian.

Diogo de Azambuja - Portuguese founder of the fort Elmina, the first of the transatlantic slave trading outposts. He was Catholic, by the way, not Jewish.

-ancestors were the ones who were brought here, not the present day people.

Umm so? Nothing stands in the way of present day blacks to move back to Africa. Does it?

-how would you like to be purchased, dragged to another country, and put to work like a machine? beaten when you didn't produce, lynched when you didn't follow one word of instruction...

And what does THAT have anything to do with the blacks not going back to Africa? And for the record, the Jews were the slave traders. So blame THEM.

-they are not here against their will, they inherited being born in this country just as you were

They were brought here against their will. Period. They didn't come here as immigrants. They can go back and re-apply for immigration. They b*tch about being brought here against their will. They should go back if they didn't like that.

-africa is their native land, armenia is yours...if you dont like how the african-americans and jews act where you live....you can go back too.

Don't forget that I'm not only Armenian. Besides the fact that again, I'm not talking about native land here, which you conveniently ignored... I'm talking about who was brought here against their will, and who came here by their own will. And again I ask you, what did blacks contribute? I can list a million cases of murder, rape, theft, by blacks. Mr. Lose seems to have conveniently forgotten about those. Whites constitute the majority of the population. Blacks commit the majority of crimes. Yeah right, blame slavery for it.. Seems like blacks have found their "justifications" just like Jews have....

you imply it all the time....

Oh man........ talk about fallacious reasoning.... guilt by association...

Ivan Ward - arrested on three counts of sexual battery and rape of a child at Merryland Child Care and Development Center on Carnes Avenue in Orange Mound.

This is meant to be about people who had a very large impact, either positive or negative, on humanity, not small-time criminals.

[Darorinag]

Do Colin Powell and Condie qualify?

Magic Johnson - Perhaps the single biggest reason for all of the AIDS awareness we currently have. He has donated countless hours and dollars to spreading the word about this devastating illness, as well as raised money for treatment and research.

Benito Mussolini - Installed a fascist regime in Italy, then invaded and decimated the nation of Ethiopia for absolutely no reason, setting back the nation's development by many decades.

[Darorinag]

Hey lose, how about you try to do it the other way around? What, are you too scared? Give me the best you have. Come on.

[Darorinag]

Magic Johnson - a pervert who had sex with a million women and wonders why he got AIDS.

Benito Mussolini - a leader, who, if circumstances had been different and Nazi Germany had won, would've been hailed as a hero in the streets of Italy and Europe, respected and feared by many leaders, just like the case is today with President Bush who is actually defended by many who are posting in this thread...

we're all immigrants, like the african-americans were/are.

being armenian, we don't check off the 'white' box, we check the 'caucasian' or 'other' box.

unfortunatly, there are some who relate to the other boxes, but need the 'racist' box.
