man....that's super necessary. debating his political views and theories on economics is fair game but you guys get so riled up and end up crossing the line.Dude is an intellectual, financial and moral cockroach.
Dawg u complain so much about car regulations and environmental standards so much that one would think you already own a hemi or own shares in car companies
i def know where the hate comes from. i've been on here since '04. most recently, his constant victory lapping and other nonsense is enough to rile up anyone. i'm just saying that it's a bad look when people resort to mudslinging. i do enjoy coming in here and reading the the comments from rexanglorum, (your) rusty's posts on economics, and a few others. it get tedious when i have to sift though bs. of course i can just avoid this thread, which i do from time to time.
Damn, so France still sucking the life out of it's former colonies? I read a story a few months ago on the bevy of war crimes committed by French speaking troops. And I also read somewhere that some African countries were still paying France money for independence.
Yup, and she's nothing but a sheep in wolves clothing. Every speech she gives is a dogwhistle for white supremacists. She seriously believes that leaving the EU and re-colonizing Africa is gonna bring jobs and prosperity back to certain regions of France.

i absolutely hate ninja's views on the environment but i ain't gonna act like a buffoon. fighting ignorance with more ignorance. yeah, that seems like a great idea.
Actually I watched half of the video and found it kinda interesting and even though I shook my head at the dress up, dude was not dressed like a slave.
So in my curiosity I click through to get to the YouTube channel, and the first video I see is this.....
I have not watched this in its entirety yet, but this sista needs to get her *** out that costume.
oh yeah, that video is on on that Paula Deen wedding level of foolishness.
I do think it is important for people, especially white people, to realize that slavery in America was not just about agriculture and most enslaved people were not whipped or kept in chain all day. THis is not to soften the horror of slavery but rather to see how similar it is is to our current legal and economic systems.
If we think of slavery as a series of agrrarian concentration and work camps, we can see hey, we liberated those camps so stop complaining." When you see that enslaved people were largely controlled by the constant threat of violence, the specter of forced family separation, white citizens working as deputies and that their labor was extracted largely through bogus and unequal contracts, you can better see how slavery reverberates to our current social and economic order.
I read about that. It's colonialism with an African face as the front.
I've been reading and studying alot on generational wealth and the effects that slavery, state sanctioned violence, and economic exploitation has had on black people in this country. This system is built on black bodies and black failure is the engine that drives this countries success.
