Sorry, but you are wrong. Did you click on the link to the article posted in this thread? Obviously not. Here is a snippet: In 1860 there were at least six Negroes in Louisiana who owned 65 or more slaves The largest number, 152 slaves, were owned by the widow C. Richards and her son P.C. Richards, who owned a large sugar cane plantation. Another Negro slave magnate in Louisiana, with over 100 slaves, was Antoine Dubuclet, a sugar planter whose estate was valued at (in 1860 dollars) $264,000 (3). That year, the mean wealth of southern white men was $3,978 (4). In Charleston, South Carolina in 1860 125 free Negroes owned slaves; six of them owning 10 or more. Of the $1.5 million in taxable property owned by free Negroes in Charleston, more than $300,000 represented slave holdings (5). In North Carolina 69 free Negroes were slave owners (6). What do you think about that?

Is she a hot chick? If so then perhaps...if she aint hot then there has got to be some other reason

Couldnt agree with you more. Its funny how any time a racial discussion takes place slavery always seems to be the topic. Its a cop out. The blacks did not have it worse than the American Indian. Granted, Indians were not immigrants but they had it far worse off. No rethinking needing to be done there. Also, It is a known fact that blacks owned blacks, whites were not the only slave owners. So why is it that fact is rarely discussed? What if the blacks that are asking for retribution or believe society owes them actually come from a generation of slave OWNERS? That would be kind of ironic wouldnt it?

Fix what? There isnt anything broken. We are living in a free society. What was never set up to be fair or all inclusive? I dont understand what you are saying here. What still persists today because of slavery? Please give me an example, one that is directly related to slavery. Knowledge of black people? What knowledge do I need. You bleed red just like I do. You have the same education opportunities I do. What "knowledge" of "black" people do I need? I am not accusing, I am simply saying that the black man does not deserve special treatment simply because of his skin color. " Please show me where I used there instead of their

Outside of the Native Americans who? Because you did say plenty. How about the Jewish? Or do you not consider that whole holocaust thing to be that serious? How about a real world example. How about the Iraqis that have been tortured, maimed, and executed by their own country's leadership over the past couple of decades. Are they screaming retribution? No, they are happy to be moving forward as a race. Are they faced with racial issues and stereotyping? Hell yes, do they have leaders representing them and preaching bullshit that holds no merit? Hell no. Once again, the black community is its own worst enemy in the fight against racism. Blaming the white man or years of oppression is nothing MORE THAN A COP OUT. Tell you what, I want Shaquille Oneals job so I can make 50mill + a year, and I want it simply because I am white. Will I get the job? Do I deserve the job? Fuck no i dont because i am not qualified. It really is simply, really. The NFL quarterback position use to be a primarily white position. Last couple of years there have been some kickass black quarterbacks at the top of their game. How did they get there? They busted their freakin asses (black quarterbacks) and worked for it just like everyone else. How is them working hard for their jobs any different than a head coach working hard for his job? Why the fuck should a person get preferential treatment just because of his skin color??? That is total bullshit no matter how you look at it!!! Personally, if somebody made me an offer based on my skin color i would be insulted and tell them to fuck off. I am surprised the black community doesnt feel the same way.

Once again, this is a perfect example of thinking that you and / or the black community is owed something. Guess what, if slavery ended yesterday, or last year perhaps you would have some valid points. But for Gods sakes, the shit ended 150 years ago. How much longer is the black community going to bitch about this. Plenty of other races had it a hell of a lot worse off that the blacks did. Should we also ask the masses that own very large chunks of land to give it up so American Indians can get their retribution for what happened to their generations? Is that really the answer? Hell no... Perhaps Jewish people should be allowed to inject dye into the eyes of Germans so they can see if they can change their eye colors? Will that give them retribution? The black community has GOT to get over this shit. It is as simple as that. As long as racists like Jackson and Sharpton are out there spewing there racist bullshit we will be a society divided by color. There are terms for people like them. That term is a racist. You cant change the past but you can control the future. Living in the past is not going to accomplish anything. The black man is his own worst enemy when it comes to the fight for equality.

Black people are not asking for FAIR treatment, they are asking for SPECIAL treatment. They preach equality but demand extraordinary actions that ultimately create a racial atmosphere.

Black people need to start realizing that they are creating and fueling racism in our country and cut the shit out. First the NFL is mandated to interview at least one black candidate for head coach positions, now they are being forced to do the same for front office positions. This is the biggest load of shit I have ever heard of. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/07/AR2005060701550.html For gods sake people, IT IS NOT ABOUT SKIN COLOR, IT IS ABOUT QUALIFICATIONS. Black people need to stop taking pity on themselves solely because of skin color. The black man is the one fueling the racism fire, not the white man. Get the fuck over it people.

Thats not as bad as i thought...thats actually pretty cool....

can somebody post a picture of what this ear stretching stuff looks like? If it is what I am thinking, (no offense to you amanduh) my question is why would anybody do that to their body???? I'm all about tattoos and piercings and stuff as long as it can be hidden if necessary. Kinda hard to wear earmuffs year 'round

oh no you didnt...i got your quote in my response before you changed it...your just a tad bit to slow

versus I am going to get I rig and go skydiving????

I agree, doesnt look real. Or perhaps they used some super duper strength windex on his windscreen causing it to appear non-existent Something just aint looking right. I'm sure the event and the flyby was awesome, but somebody is screwing with the pictures.

First suggestion is to delete this post before you get half the skydiving population calling bullshit... secondly, didnt your momma ever tell you that nobody likes a quitter

Yep, the county is going to sign off on it. This too is a brand new house in a brand new development...

yep, there is some metal thing (guess its a joist) fastened to the top of the concrete that they are putting the posts in...Just didnt seem right for some reason...glad to know it is.

I am having a huge deck built onto my house. It is going to be made out of trex material and will be about 15 feet off the ground...Last weekend they dug all the holes to pour the concrete and to set the footers. They just started yesterday on the footers, I noticed that they are not in the concrete but actually fastened to the top of the concrete. The holes themselves were about 3-4 feet deep. I thought the purpose of digging the holes was to place the support beams or footers (or whatever the hell you call them) into the holes and then pour the concrete around it for stability. I called the contractor and mentioned this to him, he said that would be an inferior design because the wood would eventually rot. I didnt argue seeing that I know absolutely nothing about building decks. My question is am I getting ripped off on the design? Should the support beams actually be in the hole? I dont see the purpose of the concrete and the support beams being fasted to the top of the concrete...Anybody know anything about this crap?

Besides the obvious

I think you should agree to do it. As an added bonus send him your atm card number and pin. Why do people even bother addressing these issues I've said it before and I'll say it again..If someone falls for these types of scams then they deserve to get taken...A fool and his money are soon parted, if it aint this scam, it'll be another one. Its only a matter of time!!!..Come on, Get smart people!
