it always goes back to blacks.. and slavery... why is that?

in this discussion, it comes to times people haven't just 'accepted' the outcomes or the way things 'have been'

the majority of those times in AMERICAN history have involved minorities (including women)

that's why its relevant in THIS discussion

being an African American female, those are two minorities that pop in my mind right away

Liberals!

Group of U-Va. students, faculty ‘deeply offended’ by Thomas Jefferson being quoted at school he founded

In 1819, well after helping to found the United States of America, Thomas Jefferson founded the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.

It was the state’s first true public university.

Known as the “Father of the University of Virginia,” Jefferson was laid to rest at his home in Monticello, less than 10 miles from his school.

Jefferson embodied the contradictions of his time. He was a slave owner, who wrote “all men are created equal” in the Declaration of Independence. But Martin Luther King Jr., for example, regularly evoked Jefferson’s words in his speeches. On Sept. 12, 1962, King spoke at the New York Civil War Centennial Commission’s Emancipation Proclamation Observance in New York City. There he said, “Jefferson with keen perception saw that the festering sore of slavery debilitated white masters as well as the Negro. He feared for the future of white children who were taught a false supremacy. His concern can be summed up in one quotation, ‘I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just.’”

Not even close.... there was no injustice done here. Slavery has no place in this conversation, but this is not the 1st time you tried to insert it.

This was a presidential race.. conducted by the rules. Accepted by ALL before the race was started... including you. You, who made absolutely no mention of the electoral vote prior to the race.

You voiced no concern or abjection to it... until of course Clinton lost... then.. whey then, it was suddenly a travesty..a injustice!

Now really... what does that sound like to you?. Do you really wonder why you read words like sour grapes.. sore loser... really?.

Not even close... it was a loss.. a legal.. binding.. loss. Accepted by the Dems, including Clinton and Obama.

spot on!!

people once thought it was just that only men vote

Many things that were once legal were changed or amended

That is the nature of progress

Things change
