Fred Reed kicks off a conversation about race with a different slant. From Reed at fredoneverything.org:
I keep hearing blacks saying how we need and open and honest conversation about race, and oppression, and the lingering effects of slavery. Well, I guess. I’ve sort of thought that too. Of course, I could guess who they wanted to do all the talking. But I have to concede, if I plumb the depths of my soul, that slavery does have lingering effects and, yes, that they are ghastly. Because of this legacy, I am very sorry about slavery.
All right, let’s talk about the lingering effects of slavery. For starters, Americans can’t walk in the cities of their own country without danger of being beaten to death or shot. How is that for a lingering effect? The downtown’s of their cities are uninhabitable: New York, Camden, Trenton, Newark, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore, Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Jackson, New Orleans, for example. I am filled with repentance for slavery. Boy, am I.
Sometimes I wish we had time travel so we could go back and hang those wretched Brits who brought in slaves. Places that I once loved–San Francisco, for example–are dying, have died, under uncontrolled crime by a people at the level of hunting and gathering, with stores moving out along with the civilized who are able to escape. In one after another of once-lovely cities, American-African mayoresses make crime virtually legal. The lingering effects of slavery. Believe me, I am sorry.
It only took the CPUSA 100 years to tear apart the fabric of American society using racism and poor race relations.
There is still some debate about Trotsky or the Jacobins coming up with the term racism.

You forgot the part where the slaves were
vended on the beach by tribal leaders,
arab slave traders. African capital gains I
believe. Reparations? Not until we get a
refund for defective merchandise. I mean
they got caught. Couldnt have been the
best. Now to watch The Naked Prey.
