  • This sounds amazing. Dont stop singing, never! Best regards from Sweden!

  • In North America the first blacks were brought in 1619 to build a "free" world for the white men and the English colonies.

    The slave trade was abolished in 1808 in the United States.

    The slave trade was made illegal in 1819. However, it was not abolished until 1865 with 13th Amendment.

    Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence, continued to own slaves for his entire life.

    Its been around 144 years since 1865

    sharon (posted from Monster Vox)

  • No thanks

  • yes... we elected! you doubt that I'm an american??? is it because I believe in science and reason????....and don't want my country to fuck up and fail, like many people do!!

  • our government has good intentions, but a gov't cannot proper govern 300,000,000 people effectively, communication between humans is just not good enough

  • and i agree, there are a lot of ignorant conservatives in our country, and i do agree our country will collapse within the next 100 or so years... but to say its because of rasicm is a complete joke. its going to collapse becasue the national government has too much power for its own good, middle men in social programs rob our welath, and people cant understand what is actually happening becasue we are too big. keep the power to the states and cities, and wed be fine..

  • so our country was founded in the late 1700s, so your telling me that slavery and genocide was going on 1970-2000?

  • We elected? I doubt that ur American.

  • yeah I just trying to sound smart and cool, despite the fact that yes we elected a black president who most of the backward conservatives wanna kill!, then I consider the "myraid" of diversity, of people wanting the first black president to fail, then yeah you are right.

    America has done a lot to help out the world but lets not forget the fact that America was founded in the GENOCIDE of the people who where already here and in the SLAVERY that went on for more than 200 years, yey!!
