I posted here scholarly articles on the subject which supported the "eventual death of slavery' due to economic inadquacy"
anyone who makes that argument is simply an apologist for slavery, it's TOTAL bullshit... yeah, I'm sure your "scholarly article" was from some right wing propaganda site such as heritage foundation
and to actually believe that crap you have to have some serious blinders on, the South fought a brutal war because they wanted to keep their slaves, but you claim without the war they were about to give them up, when even up until the 1930s there was still defacto slavery in the South when it had been supposedly abolished... when it comes to history you are as clueless as they come, you drink the koolaid of the wingnuts
as for the Roberts issue as it relates to the recent Obama nomination for civil rights attorney, you claim it is "off the wall"
actually it is exactly the same thing
you have a serious case of head up ass affliction if you can't see the how it relates
Roberts defended a mass murderer who killed 8 people execution style yet no one made an issue of it when he was nominated for SCOTUS
Obama's guy defended a guy who killed one person, yet now the right wing go nuts that Obama is a "cop killer advocate"
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) excoriated the Senate’s failure to confirm Debo Adegbile to head the Justice Department’s Civil Rights division on Wednesday, calling it the low point of his 30-year tenure
Harkin argued the vote revealed a racist double standard, as no one had challenged the nomination of Chief Justice John Roberts of the Supreme Court based on the rightfully uncontroversial fact that he had once represented a mass murderer pro bono.
“Here’s the message we sent today,” he said on the floor. “You young people listen up. If you are a young white person and you go to work for a law firm…and that law firm assigns you to a pro bono case to defend someone who killed 8 people in cold blood…My advice from what happened today is you should do that. As part of your legal obligation, as part of your profession. Because if you do that, who knows? You might wind up to be the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.”
But, Harkin continued, it’s now a different calculus for black lawyers. “If you’re a young black person and you work for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and you’re asked to sign an appeal for someone convicted of murder, the message sent today is, don’t do it. Don’t do it,” the senator said. “Because you know what? if you do that, in keeping with your legal obligations and your profession, you will be denied by the U.S. Senate from being [an] attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice. I guess what I am saying is we sent a message we have a double standard. A terrible double standard.”
