Culturally thankful; for all black people?
2010-04-07 13:44:05 UTC
Someone mentioned on my other question that blacks were owed a thank you for slavery.

So, thanks. We appreciate all the cotton. The tobacco fields are pretty swell.

Thanks for all the shiny shoes.

Where would we be without peanut butter?

Thanks for helping make The South such a beautiful land of agriculture.

Thank you for Aunt Jemima.

Thank you for Uncle Ben.

Thank you for the Cream of Wheat guy.

Thanks for jazz.

Thanks for autotuned music.


Feel free to add your other sweet pleasantries, thanking these most stalwart dark friends of ours.

thermostat control: Frederick M. Jones; February 23, 1960



I'd like to puch Fredrick M. Jones right in the mouth. The thermostat control is the source of half of all the arguements in my house between my wife and I.



Thanks Freddy!

This is why God needs to have the majority of the U.S. become Latino. It will force the white/black thing to become completely outdated. While these two sides keep up all this stupid historical bullsh*t tension, the world will just change around them.



I don't care though. I have Latino family members and most of my girlfriends have been Latina. It is much more fun in multiracial families and social networks.

we gave you much more and you gave us nothing we gave you some of the best music, singing and dancing youi people had never heard of you weren't smart enough to invent things like the glissando on the trumpet you had no idea about differen key signatures, we didn't do those tihgs by choice you idiot and your shoes are not shiny they probably stink like your balls, we gave you much more food than that which is better than the bland food you had here like hard tack and unsweet cakes, you suck so much and you obviously omitted many more good things and even the things you mentioned thst we gave to you, you didn't deserve you don't deserve to live any more why do you even exist?
