[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jefferson wrote that maintaining slavery was like holding “a wolf by the ear, and we can neither hold him, nor safely let him go.”

So here we are.  Britain and her allies introduced the America's to a horrific practice.  Obviously, no one (black or white) wants to be here; in this position.  Lincoln and others tried to support repatriation to Africa and that turned out really bad for most freed slaves back in Africa; longer term even worse for indigenous population as our colonies replicated Eupropean failures.

Insanity, as a cliche; is defined as "doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result".  We often attribute this logic to Einstein or Jefferson or Franklin or someone revered.  It is a myth; no one is attributed.  Some say that is the definition of perseverance.   While no prominent historical figure can be attributed to this quote; it does resonate.  Blacks have paid a very high price, across centuries at this point; and Western society has failed them.  Maybe it is time to try something new...[/quote]
Like maybe try not being racist...or at least not shooting black kids with impunity.[/quote]
