Entry: Gun Rights, the Militia, and Community Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/gun_rights_the_militia_and_community#31201 Post contents: Teu, you say, " Race has always been America’s primary problem, and the “equal” statement has been a major cause of this." Is this really true? Isn't part of the problem, the major cause in fact of our racial strife, that get-rich-quick scheming Americans imported millions of black Africans to do work they were too lazy to do in conditions of chattel slavery that afforded these blacks many grievances because they ahd no human or legal rights whatsoever. To mix two alien peoples and to put one in a position of unhappy subordination was unnecessary and disturbed what would otherwise have been a happy, growing, and homogenous society. The Declaration of Independence might be Engightenment clap-trap, but it was the no-so-Enlightenment institution of slavery that made it anything more than soaring rhetoric. Sent at: 2008 12 02
