    The Root? Gates thought he was exempt because he voted republican and spews their hate. But they got his ass.



    Just like Gates......none of you racist fucks are credible.
    Is this babble supposed to mean something wannabe African? There is a reason real Africans look down on "African" Americans like yourself. You are uneducated, crass, and can only live through handouts.

    Yes, Sailor is a retard, but he's right about this. Free Blacks did own black slaves in White America. So did Jews and Native Americans.
    The story is real.

    YOU are fake, a fraud, and a coward.

    There is a wilful amnesia regarding the role African tribes played in slavery.

    Correct. And of course the 30 million plus slaves around the world today. Slaves. You never hear the left being outraged by this.

    I watched a TV documentary a while back about African tribes that still keep slaves.

    Harriet Tubman Descendant Reacts to News That Julia Roberts Was Suggested for Role

    A relative of Harriet Tubman reacted to the story shared by Harriet screenwriter Gregory Allen Howard in which a Hollywood executive in the '90s suggested casting Julia Roberts as the woman who freed countless slaves. Tubman's great-great-great-grandniece Tina Wyatt told TMZ that the mere suggestion that a white woman play Tubman is incredibly disrespectful and went on to say that the black community would not stand for a whitewashed version of Tubman's story.

    "What do you think would have happened?" Wyatt said. "You would have had a boycott." See her full response below:

    News of that long-ago meeting and the bad ideas Howard deftly avoided in the long process of getting Harriet made came to light in a piece Q&A with Howard for Focus Features. The writer behind Remember the Titans and Ali said that “the climate in Hollywood…was very different” when he first began pitching Tubman's story. He said the executive doubled down on the choice of Roberts, saying the public wouldn't know Tubman was not white because the story was about 150 years in the past.

    “I was told how one studio head said in a meeting, ‘This script is fantastic. Let’s get Julia Roberts to play Harriet Tubman,'” Allen said. “When someone pointed out that Roberts couldn’t be Harriet, the executive responded, ‘It was so long ago. No one is going to know the difference.'”

    [B][SIZE=5]Another typical white racist mofo who think Blacks don't know their history.

    I posted this because of sailor's comment. He thinks Blacks are too stupid to know their history as well. The racist bitch said BLACKS OWNED SLAVES IN WHITE AMERICA. Only racist fools such as himself, believes that.
    Other people also believe this (I have no opinion).
