Sean Hannity...Thankful for Slavery?

Sean Hannity and his Fox News colleagues have, for months, challenged Barack Obama about his associations with Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, and others, painting his patriotism as questionable at best. In this video, we show how, using his own logic, it is likely that Sean Hannity is thankful for the enslavement of Africans who were brought to America.

Watch, and think for yourself.

Jesse Lee should have been born in 1749 instead of 1949. He would have been the slave that said, " Gee, thank ya Massa for all dese free chains ya give me, dat's real nice of ya! Oh yeah, Massa, I almost forgit- I hear dey's plannin' a revolt tonight. Ya want ol' Jesse ta go fetch da shotgun?

Jesse Lee you are a disgrace to Humanity. A slave ship was like an over crowded Airplane? I took a flight last week that was pretty crowded, but I wasnt chained down to the floor while the person next to me was defecating on himself. I dont remember urine trickling down my head from the person chained down above me. I didnt see any white men raping any women on the plane either. Its baffling to me how you blatantly disrespected your ancestors. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I don't believe that. They may have created the system for perfectly good reasons, but it had unintended consequences. My point is that they needed someone to enslave for economic reasons. If the Africans hadn't been available, they would've enslaved the Indians, or the Chinese, or someone else. In the last analysis, they would've enslaved the poor whites, like they already virtually were enslaved. They would've done it because it was an economic imperative, not because they were "evil".

[Alvin Elmore]

Well it takes evil people to create an evil system

[Michael Black]

I disagree. I don't think it's people who are evil, but systems. There aren't any devils but there are devilish ideas.

[Alvin Elmore]

If you persecute people just because its profitable you are most definitely a devil. If you pack hundreds of innocent people on a hot unsanitary slave ship because its "profitable" regardless of how inhuman it was you are certainly a devil. But that dosnt mean all white people are devils. Majority of white people are not. And there are devils of every ethnicity. The people trading slaves weren't white devils, they were devils who were white.

[Michael Black]

Did they do it because they were "devils", or did they do it for money? That's what you've got to ask yourself. The reason that the slave trade was started and continued is because it was profitable. All this rhetoric about "devils" is divisive rubbish.

[Alvin Elmore]

Listen bro I hear you. Im not saying all white people are devils. But the whites involved in the slave trade were. The whites involved in raping the black women were devils. The whites involed in whipping blacks for wanting to learn how to read were devils. Im not talking about the whites helping Harriett Tubman with the underground railroad. Im not talking about the white abolitionists. What I am saying is that the statement made by Jesse Lee Peterson was a slap in the face to those victims
