As you point our and documentb history is not McKinneys strong suit.
They are insidious racists, in fact their human ownership mentality is boldly put on display. As a member of the slavery party he shouts from the roof top he has this genetic defect thinking he owns people. He will support slave owner schools, he will support disarming the people he thinks he owns and he will support efforts to take their money away as massa has a better way for your money to be spent.
Mr. Sullivan, you're commentaries reek of consistently White-washing and "re-imagining" historical facts, and worse, your commentaries belittle the atrocities engineered by White people against people of color. Your comment, "If I was a Black teenager and subject to your line of thinking, I would become a thief," not only reeks of Whiteness, bu only validates your FAILURE TO ACKNOWLEDGE HISTORICAL FACTS, CURRENT REALITIES, AND LINEAR PROJECTIONS, which is also true of many Black people. Mr. Sullivan, where's your evidence, your proof that actually proves the robust data I've presented is false??? You have none. Your "intellectualizing" is crap (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/09/09/us/powerful-people-race-us.html). You're full of opinions, Mr. Sullivan, but have absolutely no FACTS to validate any of your stupid assessments.
I advocate that Black people create and sustain Black owned-controlled-operated businesses, because as factually documented, integration has NEVER improved any aspect of the Black experience in the United States of America (http://tripoetry.com/Black.htm#PERPETUAL). Conversely, you clearly advocate for people of color to remain subservient and oppressed to White people, which clearly makes you a racist. Yes, Mr. Sullivan, a racist.
Here's exactly what I've actually told Black teenagers subject to my line of thinking (for decades):

Why don't you try selling your crappy and skewed views of history to the People of Lakotah? Huh??
Mr. Sullivan, although you lack the intellectual acumen and the hands-on professional subject matter expertise in AA/EEO/DEI required to have an intelligent discussion in this area, nevertheless, I've responded to your "Andrew's Thinking Newsletter," hoping that you might actual "think" about my fact-based "responses" to the crap you write. Instead of elevating your thinking, you lock-down and cry, "How dare some one disagree with my thinking?"
Again, Mr. Sullivan, where's your evidence, your proof that actually proves the robust data I've presented is false??? You have none. Your "opinions" are crap. 'Nuff said.
By the way, Andrew, one of the major problems with "people like you" is the practice of "intellectualizing" a distinction between class and racism and sexism; so such distinction exists. Throughout history the easiest way to "identify" people for the purpose of discrimination and oppression is by their physical characteristics, which has been done successfully with every culture, nation, tribe, etc. Case in point, "elite," politically powerful and affluent White men had absolutely no problem excluding "poor White trash" from economic success, but it was and remains so much EASIER to exclude people of color and women; to perpetually "brand" them as undesirables.
The "class card" and the "race card" are simultaneously played by "elite," politically powerful and affluent White men who make ALL the rules and define ALL exceptions to the rules.
Re-writing historical facts, or today's reality, or a fact-based linear projection of future events only represents your denial, or stupidity, or indifference, or your promotion of a self-serving agenda.
YOUR COMMENT: You are choosing to ignore there were Black slaveowners and Black slave traders.
RESPONSE: Wrong. I have not ignored there were a "few" Black slave-owners and a "few" Black slave traders. Slavery is NOT the issue, and indentured servitude does not equate to slavery. The "issue" is the overt contradiction, the hypocrisy, the contempt of people of color engineered and sustained by "elite," politically powerful and affluent White men (and their organized religions that are pro-slavery, discrimination and sexual oppression), who said, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Clearly, this was a lie in 1776, and remains a lie in 2024.
You champions liar! Look in a mirror, Andrew, and practice selling your lies to Native Americans incarcerated on the stolen lands of the Republic of Lakotah.
Again, you champions liars, and make excuses for their perpetual deceitfulness. Look in a mirror, Andrew, and practice selling your lies to Native Americans incarcerated on the stolen lands of the Republic of Lakotah.
QUESTION: Why haven't "elite," politically powerful and affluent White men (and their organized religions that are pro-slavery, discrimination, and sexual oppression) cleaned-up their mess?
And it goes without saying that far more Black people (millions!!!) died for the cause of freedom than White men; and "elite," politically powerful and affluent White men actively sustain overt discrimination and oppression of Black people, Native Americans, etc.
Again, "elite," politically powerful and affluent White men actively sustain overt discrimination and oppression of Black people, Native Americans, etc., and use brainwashed people of color ("Uncle Tom's") to sustain ownership, power, and control.
Mr. Reynolds, I appreciate you taking the time to read my commentary as well as post. However, with this post of yours, you have demonstrated you have a cottage industry in promoting racially paranoid conspiracy theories or narratives along such lines which fall short of reality. You also have no circumspect to your
advocacy which I find far more disturbing. If I was a Black teenager and subject to your line of thinking, I would become a thief. Hey, if it is a white supremacy world, after-all, why not take the goods while my fingers are sticky and Whites are feeling too guilty to find fault with me? This is an actual problem, yet you have no means of impacting it as you are actually enabling it.

Unlike you, Mr. Sullivan, I hold both White and all "people of color" accountable for the
perpetual discrimination and oppression that's clearly racially-based. Conversely, you
Indentured servants are NOT the same as a slaves - period. It's awfully "White" of anyone to even suggest such. Clearly, Andrew, if you knew your history, especially U.S history, you wouldn't make such a ridiculous analogy. Yes, the US Constitution sanctioned slavery while confirming "all men are created equal" except slaves, Native Americans, poor White people, etc. These elite, well-educated, slave-owning, God-fearing "Founding Father" White men made "the rules" and defined all exceptions to "the rules," and it was not "self-evident" that all people are created equal, or they would have said so. As validated by the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, these men knew the value of words, and how to carefully craft sentences, paragraphs, and documents. Evidence of their intent to sustain their "privilege" is validated by the absence of any timetable to establish that "all people are created equal." Keep in mind, these elite, well-educated, slave-owning, God-fearing "Founding Father" White men had no problem executing contracts or agreements between themselves, or Native Americans, and with France, Spain, etc. Or, are supposed to believe these elite, well-educated, slave-owning, God-fearing "Founding Father" White men, who used the same colonization tactics as their British peers, were not as smart as Chinese men who established, with Britain, a 99-year (timetable) lease for Hong Kong in 1898?
Africa played a distinct role in American slavery. You are choosing to ignore there were Black slaveowners and Black slave traders. You choose to ignore many Europeans were subject to indentured servitude and would die because of it. You choose to use the word "white" because you ignore the differences between the British and the Portuguese. You also ignore the role of Christianity in defeating slavery as well as the spread of Christianity. Futhermore, you choose to ignore slavery solved certain problems. Are you homeless? Need a job? Hungry? Slavery solves all of this and this is why it was so hard to get rid of.
Conquest and slavery are the history of the world.
We hold these truths to be *self-evident, that all men are created equal...
They had to compromise over slavery to form the union.
The civil war was first and foremost about resolving that compromise. It is stated front and center in secession documents. Slave states wanted to keep their slaves. They cited states' rights. But when it came to the right of free states' to decide for themselves what to do with runaway slaves, slave states would have none of it.
1860 Republican Platform would free not a single slave. Only 4 secession documents mention slavery, only 7 seceded, and there were 15 slave states. You need to review what happened before secession. The idea of secession came from the abolitionists. This is why the South decided to use it as pretext for independence.
Mr. Borer, we are talking passed each other. You need to back step each event. Why did the coastal Southern states presume slavery was threatened? It takes some time to understand what events unlocked what doors which lead to war.
As you point our and documentb history is not McKinneys strong suit.
They are insidious racists, in fact their human ownership mentality is boldly put on display.

But when it came to the right of free states' to decide for themselves what to do with runaway slaves, slave states would have none of it.
1860 Republican Platform would free not a single slave. Only 4 secession documents mention slavery, only 7 seceded, and there were 15 slave states. You need to review what happened before secession. The idea of secession came from the abolitionists. This is why the South decided to use it as pretext for independence.
Go back and read Jefferson Davis. I'm only talking about secession states.
