the animation is horrible

[draxtordespres]

@TheMonster3412 this is machinima & the capture of a real-time event in SL! Animations and framerates have gotten A LOT better as has the content :)

Remember this when you listen to a Tea Party member go on and on about the "greatest document ever written"; the Declaration of Independence. "We the people ..." and "...all men are created equal." did not apply to Black people. Today,he United States is a great country, but never pretend we didn't start out as morally backward as any of the other places many of us look down on as morally inferior. If there is one reason other nations are hostile towards us, it is our apparent hypocrisy.

[draxtordespres]

@emmettk good point! I as an immigrant myself still believe in the potential of America - the melting pot I learned about back in High School in Germany! Let's live up to that potential!

[emmettk]

@draxtordespres Thank You.

[draxtordespres]

I know i shouldn't say this here, but why does the guy keep making typing movements?

[draxtordespres]

@SukyaiTenkuu back then Second Life had no voice, so we chose to have the typing as visual cue. SL residents still use typing today of course and the typing animation remains default ;]

The slave raping scum from the South -- the pussies that beat women, sold children, and ran from real men -- used the court to stamp as "legal" their insane torture and abuse of millions of people. Dred Scott decision was bought and paid for by Southern Scum - and LIncoln called them on it. Go read his speech about it. Lincoln knew --- but you fucks today apparently don't -- that Dred Scott decision was corrupt, illegal, and would make the Civil War inevitable.

[12FlyMe]

Fucking bullshit. The issue you dumb fuck, that the Court "settled" was ARE BLACKS HUMAN. Got that retard? Are they human, or are they property. All this other shit is meaningless. The lunatic corrupt court decided blacks are NOT HUMAN. They are like dogs or a table, or a piece of shit. Property. And as property, the owner could take them, rape them, sell them, beat them, as they saw fit. That's what the court decided you dumb fuck - and it ended in the CIvil War

[desertbutt]

How can people still blindly support law enforcement when there's stuff like this?

Referring to the language in the Declaration of Independence, "all men are created equal," Chief Justice Taney reasoned that "it is too clear for dispute, that the enslaved African race were not intended to be included, and formed no part of the people who framed and adopted this declaration..."

[Bob2000system]

Chief Justice wrote the Court's majority opinion . "The framers of the Constitution believed that negroes had no rights which the white man was bound to respect; and that the negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit. He was bought and sold and treated as an ordinary article of merchandise and traffic, whenever profit could be made by it."

[Bob2000system]

Scott lost as 7 of 9 on the Supreme Court declared no slave or descendant of a slave could be a U.S. citizen, or ever had been a U.S. citizen. As a non-citizen, the court stated, Scott had no rights and could not sue in a Federal Court and must remain a slave. It also ruled that Congress could not stop slavery. Ending slavery within the U.S. violated the 5th amendment.
