"High" cultures the world over (and particularly in Europe) had slavery (and children slaves) for thousands of years. One of the reasons that the wealthy in the Greek and Roman culture (who produced most of the art and literature that we admire today) *were* wealthy was because they relied on slave labor to produce surplus goods and earn their money for them. Wow, what a wonderful achievement, eh? ---------------- Actually no, they bred horrible sadness by the thousands of lives. were you there ? ----------------- Sure was. did you actually see this 'horrible sadness' ??? -------------- Oh yes! Those people's labor for themselves would have done such incredible good that it cannot even be fathomed. 'those people' were illiterate.........they would have subsisted, nothing more -------------------- They were deprived of their rightful education in that society. Also, anyway, reading was not much use at that time, a toy, nothing more. Instead it fed and clothed and pampered vain plutocrats and sycophants who made war to steal from all of Europe. and incidentally kept 'those people' from starving due to their own inability to do anything more than simply survive under starvation conditions ----------------------- Nonsense. The slaves did that themselves. Our rich do the same thing today!!! so move to 'Da Mudda Lann' where everyone is poor --------------------------- Ain't any, you ridiculous lying piece of ****! the extent of your intellectual bankruptcy is fully exposed by your remarks above |

I've met too many highly literate children of illiterates,
black or otherwise, for this excuse to hold any water. And to be fair, I've met a lot of white people who deserve the criticism from Bill Cosby as well. What sucks is the politicians who want to keep people like cattle herds in ethnic ghettos so they can be assured of their captive vote. If the black, Greek or Korean leaves the ghetto, heaven forbid, they vote on their own - Better (for the pols) to keep them acting like herds by providing things like bilingual education.

In fact, ebolaonics is "Suthun" which is derived from Cracker,
or Celtic grammar applied to English. I realised this once while listening to an Irish immigrant, and sure enough, a while later Walter Williams wrote about it. But I have worked on Wall Street and attended Ivy league, and I know plenty blacks (as well as many immigrants) who, despite their accents, speak eloquently. And I will repeat, there are sadly plenty of USA-born whites who maintain the speech idioms of their ethnic ghettos and deserve Bill Cosby's criticism as well. I'm amused he used the word knucklehead: When I was five (1966), I used to watch his I Spy show just after the puppet who used the word knucklehead. In by R. Steve Walz on Sat, 29 May 2004 05:42:37 GMT we perused: *+-They didn't, they spoke "Suthun". They still do.

Not just some art and some literature. ---------------- Nonsense, they had the money to afford thinkers because they had slaves once again, but they squandered it and most Athenians wasted their money on high living, the few thinkers were a tiny minority. The Greeks were not famous for being rich. I don't think there is any mention of that in their history. I'm sure that the creators of philosophy and architecture and math and on were probably about 10 % of their culture. Their contributions to the world were incredible. You see, they didn't even have libraries full of books to go and read. They had to create all of it. If papyrus had rotted ten percent faster they'd have been unknown! The Egyptians were the ones who found or created papyrus. That, and some engineering (the pyramids, etc.) was about all they did. Holger http://www.mindspring.com/~holger1/holger1.htm |

Just like the black savages in Africa who have killed so many of the white farm owners. They worked in the field on some of these farms, but, after killing the boss, they don't know how to operate the farm so it just becomes a wasteland or goes back to undeveloped land.
