What is a native black American?

The first slaves here were Irish (indentured servants) and they were never "freed".

Yeah. But indentured servitude was generally timebound: either a specific number of years service, or service to pay off a specific amount. African slaves were simply property, with no future manumission in sight for most, and certainly no rights as people in court(many southern states actually outlawed the freeing of slaves). Their children were also property. Indentured servitude shared certain characteristics with slavery (e.g masters using coporal chastisement and limited right of movement), however in several very fundamental areas there was no comparison.

There was plenty of Irish property in the Ivory Coast and Caribbean.

Ohio is doing a very stupid thing bailing out the folks who took out absurd morgages.

Griff, I've missed that. My ex b/f is going to lose his house. Stupid or not (which is true, he's clueless,) can you point me to the story?

Here you go.

My idea of "hot" derives from about 75% of their attitude/mind and 10% personal hygiene & style. I am really not exaggerating. The rest is, usually, based on how curvy they are, notice that 85% of their personality can over-come that easily.
However, truly thin women tend to be a bit high-strung and obsessive for reasons I cannot fathom.

LoL. I hadn't spotted that.

We ate them all, didn't we?

I have no burning desire to discuss religion, or politics on the Internet.

I think that deserves some prize, for most unpopular opinion.

I agree!
It would be awesome, the day when people behave in a way that it makes it unnecessary.

Another unpopular opinion of mine... if you want to treat one group with a slight melanin difference differently, either positively or negatively, it matters not, you are clearly a racist.
