If I recall my history classes, indentured servitude was, indeed, a thing in the early days of the new world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Well, indentured servants could pay off their servitude. Slaves couldn't for the most part. There's a difference between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like society is just punching itself out. Like trying to attack Muhammad Ali while he's doing a rope-a-dope, just swinging on him and getting gassed.

If it's something the far right hates it's context... The RDJ one was amazing satire and the BEST part of that movie. The joke was how flippin insensitive Hollywood is about race. Ted Danson's Firar's club roast nearly killed his career. It was a huge story. Did he every recover to the entent of his Cheers popularity? The Jimmy's just looks like sketch comedy - lampooning celebrities. meh. The Sarah Silverman one... I dunno man, not a fan of whatever she has going on there.

They are insensitive to race, until they aren't and they need to tell everyone about how morally virtuous they are. Hollywood seems like a weird place.

Cooked Crack Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Quote In a Quinnipiac University poll, 42 percent of voters say Northam should resign — but more, 48 percent, say he shouldn’t. White voters are split evenly — 46 percent say he should resign, and the same percentage say he shouldn’t — but a majority of black voters, 56 percent, say Northam should not quit.
