I don't know maybe Jim Crow and other such orders of the day had something to do with it. Question for you? When were black americans even allowed to vote in this country? You know after reconstruction ended. Your responses on here prove to me that you either have no idea what you're talking about or you're just here to stir the pot.

What is confusing? We are to believe that the direct result of Katrina is the dismal failure of America to provide for blacks in this country. Slavery is the main issue by which they think they can twist white American in the wind and force us to once again take responsibility for their crimes in NO.
I am saying blacks owned more slaves in this country that whites did. So the blacks living today are most likely descended from black slave owners and need to look at their own culture and take some responsibility...

Ok, so now we are going to move on to voting rights now that you agree with the fact that more blacks owned slaves than whites? You didn't dispute it? A black professor did the research so I think we need to explore this issue in detail before we start moving on to voting rights. Unless you are calling the black professor a Jim Crow? Are you? It wouldn't surprise me.. He's not black enough huh?
Or is that your M.O? Move on until you find the minutest of details to try and win the argument?
No, I think we should stay on the issue of why blacks are so disenfranchised due to slavery and that’s why we see the aftermath of kartina and why we saw all the looting and killing...
I mean it’s never good enough. It’s always something else with the plight of the blacks is it? There is always some other excuse for the moral decay of the black people in the inner cities of America. It could never just be their fault could it? That answer is just too easy....

I will answer this one but you may not like it. Al Sharpton and his guests on his radio show mentions almost daily how gangsta rap, drugs, crime, etc... are destroying the black community. But you would know nothing about this because it doesn't fit the world you live in. *edit messed up the quotes**

I thought blacks were supposed to be done and forgotten about slavery. Honest when was the last time you heard a black person complain about slavery? Most black people today don't give a rat about it. In fact the only people bringing it up in this board are the likes of you.And I'm moving to votings rights because at least that would fit in a time where some people or at least their parents would remember it.
Oh my gosh... You are kidding right? The whole foundation on which blacks base their self righteous rage comes from the slavery argument. "The white man built this country on the backs of black men." Ok, we all know that more blacks owned slaves than whites in Americas past so we will move on...
So, ok on to voting... Blacks were denied the right to vote for a long time in the south. It was a horrible ordeal. The south was a wicked place for blacks to live in those times.
Who denied them the right to vote? Was it the evil Republicans? Was it Bush of all people? No, as much as some would like to blame Bush for slavery its just not the case.
The same party that denied blacks the right to vote is the same party they get in bed with in every election for president.
Isn't it interesting that the people blacks depend on today are the same people that owned them and denied them basic human rights? It's the same people that left them to suffer during Katrina. Are blacks any better off today than any time after the civil war? How many are killed today by their own people and how many were killed while they were denied the right to vote?
I would say that a Democrat is no friend of Black America but that would be too radical to even comprehend wouldn't it? I mean both Clintons come from the damn south and they say Bill was the first black president. If that wasn't so absurd it would be laughable....
Leaving all that aside do you really expect one to believe that a persons right to vote "denied" over one hundered years ago justifies the Katrina atrocities and the atrocities going on today in black inner city America? Even 40 years ago a vote denied justifies todays genocide? Is that what you are saying?
The Democrats - The black saviors

To get an idea of what happened to blacks in the south between reconstruction and WW2 check out this site and book:
www.slaverybyanothername.com...
In many states blacks were kept from voting by a variety of laws including poll taxes and the need for an ID and out and out intimidation right up to the signing of the voters rights act in 1964.

Yes. I posted about why you think any black is taking the positions you think they take, told you I smelled hate in your opinions, and pointed out the flaws in your ownership numbers and your conclusions about those numbers - they don't mean what you think they mean.
