LOL! Way to go for debunking Black Soul's baseless, one-sided racist commentary.

I usually am open minded about what BSX says, but this is his interpretation of life through a broken window that looks into the past. I agree we should never forget our past, but KK is not the best example to launch a platform on. There is no correlation. KK fooled many Whites and Blacks even in his own administration, he was a wolf in sheeps clothing plain and simple. He had all the credentials to be a great politician. Detroit and the suburbs had his back, but now that is over.

Bs_x writes a lot of stuff into which I do not buy, but still, Bs_x puts a lot of energy into these posts, and I believe I would be on the winning end of any bet where I wager that Bs_x cares a lot more about Black Americans than does Kwame Kilpatrick.

Well, no, but I'm just pointing out that, no matter what reaction I may have to what Bs_x writes, I can respect the fact that Bs_x doesn't worry about political correctness, and does not run his (her?) posts through a pasteurizer before firing them off.
I really think Bs_x's head is in the wrong place, most of the time, but that is a separate issue. Kwame Kilpatrick is all about Kwame Kilpatrick. Bs_x has nothing material to personally gain by logging on, here, and pissing off almost everyone, so I tend to figure that Bs_x means what Bs_x writes, and that doing so means something to Bs_x.

Nah..BSX is a troll, plain & simple.
Getting a rise out of people is what gets him off.
Ever moderate a message board, Ravine?
I've moderated a few of 'em, and they ALL have their version of BSX..what they're saying doesn't matter to them nearly so much as the reaction they can get out of other folks.

Yeah, you may have a point, there, Zrx.
I tend to overlook the possibility that "getting a rise out of" folks in an internet forum could actually constitute a Meaningful Experience for some other folks.
But, I'm going to give Bs_x the benefit of the doubt, since I have known Bs_x to log in with Detroit Lions-related posts which are totally innocuous and non-inflammatory.

Why are Detroit black people addicted to bad black politicians? I think that's a more appropriate question.

"Special K" is a crook, and an arrogant crook at that! Even if he were white or Asian...he'd still be a crook. Why can't you grasp that simple fact?

White people did not create racism. It was white people who freed African-Americans from slavery.

The rich and powerful created racism so that the weak, poor, savage and undesirable could fight each other while the elite continued to make money.

Blacksoul, quit your rants. They are wrong and biased.

I usually have much to say in terms of educating people on race issues in terms of the Black experience, but as for your comment, especially coming from a sista', is very disturbing.

Perhaps you have been brainwashed or you are one of the 'mis-educated' people to Carter G. Woodson speaks about.

Lets kick the ballistics...

Yes, 'technically' you are right? 'Technically' white amerikkkans' did not alone create racism, and 'technically' white people freed African slaves.

However, if you are going be 'technical', you have to be inexhaustibly 'technical', so then, we should understand how, even if white people are not the sole possessors of racism,(then to, if we trace the true definition of race, it has nothing to do with man at all), they certainly circumscribed racism and used it to their advantage to gain power, wealth, resources, monopolies, and institutions in amerikkka and abroad!

Also, even though white people who were in control and responsible for slavery help to de-legalize slavery and many defacto laws, many Africans died, and suffered generational scares from the trauma of the abuse from slavery and all the pejoratives attached to it.

Please sista' you are making me cry in sadness, please learn your History!

To you my sista', I suggest a few scholarly works...

'The Destruction of Black Civilization', Great issues of Race from 4500 B.C. to 2000 A.D.
by Chancellor Williams.

This is a comprehensive analysis and a very perceptive on-look about the relevant happenings of our past and present condition as a people.

'The African Slave Trade' by Basil Davidson.

This work is complete with detail memoirs and research about the slave-trade myths and illusion and speaks directly to the truth of the largest force migration in the history of mankind.

Peace and love to you sista!

LOL LOL LOL

Blacksoul, you are a lost cause. Yes, black people suffered tremendously during slavery. But God had special plans for African Americans. Look at the contributions African Americans have brought into this world? It spans from inventions to human rights to musical genres. We even became more educated and spiritual (although that spirituality is certainly lacking today in the black community).

Again, white people are not the enemy. The elites control this nation. The only sucker in this forum is you, Blacksoul.

Lowell, this asshole's been spouting racist hate-speak as long as I've been visiting this site.
What's it take to get banned around here, anyway?

I'll second Zrx_doug's comments Lowell.

I am embarrassed and offended by the way you allow racial slurs to fly from this particular poster day in - day out. His contributions bring nothing to this forum remotely close to intelligent, informative dialogue. they only bring hate.

I, too, have wondered why Mr. Blksoul_x is allowed to continue to post when he so clearly violates the forum rules, an excerpt of which is that "entries that are abusive, off subject, silly, containing personal attacks, name-calling, threats, libels, illegal activities, or hate group messages will be removed without notice or explanation upon discovery."

I believe a forumer would need to lodge a complaint on the Moderator Contact page.

I don't feel I have learned anything from Mr. Blksoul_x, even after 380+ posts. The "basic white people" term is hurtful. Maybe enough is enough.

Meh, if you don't like what he posts, then don't read it. I don't read much of what he has to say, I skip over it.

In comparing this thread to other posts, I'd say this one could be considered less offensive then usual.

Also, from reading this thread, it seems that Blksoul has softened his stance a bit:

*He answered my questions, at least he tried, which is a first

*He gave a vague reasoning for the "basic white people" thing, first time I've ever seen that

*He admits that not only white people can be racist

Hey, I think were making some progress here.

Great comment blksoul_x,

Your comments are a resurrection to decode the Caucasian American matrix of society.

My Afro-American brothers and sisters. Now we have a Afro-American president. It's time for us to be resurrected and take over this nation and everything back the way it was. Starting the concept of FREEDOM as an ideal and not a product.

Danny,

You couldn't take over a teeter-totter your twin brother, let alone the nation. If it is equality in life you desire, you sure have a distorted way of phrasing it.

Why in the world would you want "everything back to the way it was", Danny?
