Flap regards your statement "What specifically did Clinton say that was off base? Is America a violent nation? Yes. Are we still paying a price today for keeping an entire race of people enslaved (and uneducated) for 300 years? Absolutely" Do you realize that slavery existed long before America was born as a nation ? The Egyptians used slavery for thousands of years and indeed slavery still exists in both the Middle East and Africa. In reality The US's experience with slavery was in terms of the world rather brief and very limited. The percentage of people who owned slaves was less than 10 % of the population. Africans actually have more to be ashamed of than the whites in the US. They sold their brothers and sisters into slavery for trinkets. It amazes me that any black person wants to identify himself with the people who sold them into slavery. ALso both my wife and I are direct descendants of white slaves. We can both trace back to relatives who were slaves in this century. Her father was a slave before escaping to America. What a joke to think that he owes a free black an apology Next point. These people hate everyone. They war with each other and hate their own women. They are a vile culture and they just hate. Clinton joined hands with Falwell in blaming the US but for his own pet religion. He is a member of the "I PISS ON THE US" church
