If America existed with one race, I think there would be much less crime and everything would probably be perfect. I don't know.

Doubtful as even empiral Japan, a very closed society, had extreme racism against the people whose ancestors were garbage collectors.

Never forget that the Civil War was about States Rights. Lincoln Emancipation would be like us saying the UK should end the monarchy with the Queen Elizabeth II due to it being an outmoded system in the western world. Sounds good to some but has no legal basis.

It could be argued that USA recognised the CSA as independent because of the formation of West Virginia despite the US Constitution prohibiting such an action if Virginia was still part of the USA.

Am I missing something? I don't see The One's posts anywhere on this thread except where they are quoted. I even thought Vox's first comment was the original post and didn't know what the thread was about. Were The One's comments deleted?

Something weird is going on....I checked TheoOne's profile, and his threads if you click on any of them NONE of his posts are there any more. Also I VERY briefly saw him try to start a thread called "Why am I being silenced" or some such, and in the blink of an eye the post disappeared.

Very odd.

Someone forgot to sacrifice his goat to the Forum God this week, I see.

Guess we'll not get to learn about that one-race utopia thing tonight... Pity

They`re back now. gave me a bit of a shock when I clicked to check up on the thread..

if nothing else I`m happy his posts are back, because with them gone I looked like a bit of a loony. Given enough time, I`m sure another mod would have red-flagged me for violating the ATS non sequitur policy or something..

Do you think that if europeans, having had with no ownership of slaves, after settling in North America, would America be a one-race nation today and how would it be like? Including not letting anybody that's outside of one race to immigrate or settle in here?

Interesting if you think about it. Makes you think.

Everybody knows the Blacks / Moors were trading in WHITE EUROPEAN slaves years and years before the Americans decided to buy black slaves from OTHER BLACK tribes in Africa right??

Slavery was a common convention. However, it's only the African or Atlantic slave trade that was of any relevance to either the North American context, or this thread.

I don't think the U.S. hated black people. Maybe some people do, maybe some people don't. Slavery was a trade. Mostly from Africa. So......if black people sold black people into slavery, then do black people hate black people? If the European settlers killed Native Americans, then will all Europeans kill Native Americans? No, I don't think so, but that's just my take on things.

Tell that to the black inmates who make up the majority of the prison population in the US. Most of them are there because of a lack of real opportunity to even subsist. Growing up in a violent and impoverished community practically gurantees that a black man will die or go to prison before he is 25.

Still subscribing to that victim mentality I see.
I think you are confusing opportunity with desire and ambition.

Everybody has the same opportunity but for some people it may require more "WORK" to get there.
Sure it may not be easy, but it certainly isn't impossible either.

As wrong as slavery was it is still makes up a big part of this country's History. American History would not be complete without the discussion of slavery.

I for one don't understand why White slave owners could believe slavery would be around forever and yet continued to breed the biggest, baddest and strongest mandingo with the biggest wench.

Yes, Blacks were freed but many still continue to hold on to the shackles for convenience

Once Obama becomes Prez all the fussing done by the Jacksons/Sharptons of the world will no longer have any merit.

What will be there to complain about when White Man is no longer in charge?

Guess it's time to kick the crutches.
