    Germany will be paying the Jewish people until around 2020 for their Holocaust. A mistake is unintentional departure from right. Slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination, etc. is willful.

    I work with blacks, I've lived with blacks, I date blacks. You know what's really special, being a white female out in public with a black male. If looks could kill, I would have died years ago.

    the english stole no land, learn british history. that history began with irish invasion of britain which led to retaliation and the subsequent scottish invasion of island. history. the british deported to australia were criminal, australia was a penal colony, history. nothing like the war waged in west africa against unsuspecting civilians. germany paid the jewish ppl. there are bad things and there are outright wicked demonic things like american slavery, that is just satan worship stuff.

    The plantation owners that bought them should have been reimbursed for getting bad goods, if the quality of thinking by some in this thread is any indication..

    If you marry one you'll be beaten by one too. The race hatred comes out and causes spousal abuse.

    Did you even take a history class, or did you just make that up?
    Norman mercenaries landed in Ireland In 1169 to help the King of Leinster. Henry II invaded Ireland in 1171, and eventually conquered the rest of the island in 1175.

    There was never a Irish invasion of Britian. Wow, you just majorly embarrassed yourself.

    Ever been in one of the countries in pink? Then you've been in a country that has been invaded by Britain.

    Atlanta has the busiest airport in the world. It is full of the headquarters of billion dollar corporations. The cost of living in Georgia is very low. Most of the people who work downtown live in surrounding suburbs. 45 minutes away from Atlanta there are plenty of primarily white places to live. White flight is very much alive as evidenced by those cities.

    Around here interracial couples are pretty common. With such a small percentage of blacks, I bet they are not all in one place. The blacks who live in primarily white areas here are educated, successful, and welcome. Educated blacks are typically not criminals. They move when the whites do. They value education and their children do great.
    I'm guessing your co-workers and boyfriends probably resemble the blacks here.
    The black stats aren't because of skin color. It is education. Take blacks with secondary education or desired skillsets and the stats are very similar to college educated whites.

    Wow I just majorly embarrassed myself, yeah right. Clearly you don't know or appreciate history. The Vikings / Irish invaded England and centuries before that the Irish were invading Wales and taking slaves. It's all written down.

    You misinterpret these looks........they are looks of pity. Most Whites realize that Nicole and OJ represent the about the best you can hope for in a black male/white female relationship.........

    Yes. Obvious statement is obvious. So, what is your point? That somehow the British couldn't invade other countries early on because they're surrounded by water?

    Seriously, that's your defense? As if somehow you never heard of the British navy?

    The fact remains: Britain invaded most of the planet, so your "english stole no land, learn british history." statement is false.

    All you gotta do is revise history to make your agenda jive. That's what Esau does.

    you dont know british history, that much is obvious. i have given you example of a history that dates back further than anything you have mentioned, that is why you are ignorant of this history, because you didnt know but then again i wouldnt expect you to, i though am an avid student of british history so there is only one person here who knows what theyre talking about. i was born in the very nation that the vikings and irish invaded before any of your normans or henrys were but a sperm in space. the irish were savages and had to be pushed back across the channel and eventually captured as pow and sent to america with all of the other undesirables, like the pilgrims. all to a man, be religious, pagan or heathen, outcasts from british society. that history is a little extra bonus for you.

    Can't handle the truth can you?

    http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news...anta-georgia-new-cities-brookhaven/56574796/1

    White flight in Atlanta.

    Cityhood is a contentious issue in metropolitan Atlanta, one rooted in and shaped by politics and race. Wealthier, largely white communities on the city's north side, which watched for years as their tax dollars were spent in poorer, mostly minority areas elsewhere in the two counties, had sought for years to break away and incorporate as cities with more local control.

    Aw hell Jim, when the country finally goes belly up the same people rooting for reparations will be begging for a buyback program.

    it really comes down to this, Black Americans are Americans, so they are just as responsible for America's history as every other American

    if someone doesn't feel they are an American, we can give them a reparation, revoke there citizenship and give them a free airline ticket to whatever country they think they belong too

    we are ALL Americans... we are all responsible for what Americans before us did or did not do

    time to unite ourselves as one country and not divide ourselves based on what our ancestors did

    I'm in Dallas. Occasionally I see a black guy with a white girl, especially in our high schools. But I have NEVER seen a white guy with a black girl.

    I sincerely don't understand that. I've never been able to figure that out.

    So in making a statement that the British had never stolen land, your defense when proven wrong is - that? Uh-huh. SMH. Oh, I'd read the posts leading up to yours, I most certainly understood the context, you still made an error any way you slice it. And on a public forum such as this, anyone can reply to anyone. Your lame defense is getting lamer.

    Let me translate your post: "My statement got totally pwned, so I'm making this lame statement in order to save face. It isn't fooling anyone but myself, but that's really the only person I need to fool anyway."

    Douglas, Gwinette, Henry, Rockdale, Clayton, Fayette....Just a few counties. Just search racial demographics from 2000-present, census bureau reports record racial shifts in population.
