The same 20 years Trump has had Clintons as his friends and jumped between parties funding the very corrupt pockets of politicians? Thinking Trump is antiestablishment, is like complaining that the executioner is killing people, while celebrating the guy who signed the death warrant.
He can bring them back, if he didn't have his manufacturing in China. Unlike any presidential candidate in history, Trump is the only candidate that can litteraly bring jobs back to US by changing his business model. The people whose jobs have been outsourced, would be voting for the guy who outsourced jobs. Bush, Clinton, Obama, Reagan, Carter, Nixon didn't outsource the jobs them selfs... Trump does...The point of his campaign is jobs. He appeals to people who have seen their jobs outsourced. He can't bring them back, but the people who are unemployed or underemployed don't want to hear that. They want jobs.

Shrug along with him... Wouldn't it be great if the #1 tie in the world be made in US? The sort of jobs Trump keeps in US are teachers at Trump U, that specifically were instructed to rip off people who would spend thousands because they believed and trusted Trump...

It's amazing that some of you can condone slavery or feel that slavery wasn't that bad but I'm sure most of your own cultures balked at indentured servitude, that you were put into for crimes that were commited or debts owed, and let's not forget the Asians who were forced to help build the railroads. Sure, they got paid, after the fact, but they were seperated from their families and put in something akin to concentration camps. Slavery is slavery and it has never been good for anyone, not even the slavers because they are now reaping what they sowed.

Slavery is still going on today in Africa. If Michelle Obama is really against it, well her husband is the President of the United States lol, I'm sure the guy could do something.
Southern Democrats were pro segregation. So were Southern Republicans. As more and more Northern US people joined the Democratic party the less racist it became. Eventually there were squeezed out by the time the Voting and Civil Rights Acts came about. Many of these people slowly over time joined the Republican Party who seemed willing to adopt them.
Furthermore, the Democrats used to be the party of Social Conservatism. Now which modern political party is socially conservative?
If the Republicans are so against racism they would've kicked the likes of Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms to the curb. Right?
Now which party supports state rights? I wonder why they would do that? No need to pay attention to any pesky federal laws regarding voting rules and discrimination laws if the states are allowed to do what they want.
At least they don't support obvious symbols of racism like a certain battle standards of a foreign nation.
I'm pretty fucking sure most blacks without two parents would prefer to have only one parent and be free versus having both parents and being a slave. Your comments just blow my mind, but then again you named yourself after Arthas which makes me think you're rather young so I suppose that's why you'd think this way.
Seriously though this would be like saying that slavery had benefits because blacks had jobs to do back then whereas now they don't get to experience a hard days work!
Wallace wasn't really an Independant. In fact he wasn't an Independant at all in today's sense. He belonged to a party spinned off of the Democratic Party that favored segregation. Which is why he won the south Bible Belt states because they loved them the idea of keeping blacks away from whites. And Nixon won because of the 1968 DNC convention. Democrats losing had less to do with racial violence and everything to do with bad candidates and LBJ.
Wait do you not think taking a shit ton of people from the continent, and then colonizing them in no way affected several countries or something?

The atlantic slave trade took slavery to an entirely new and abhornat level for that time.
are you saying that when someone is well known for news analysis and writing wildly successful history books says "Slaves that worked there were well-fed and had decent lodgings provided by the government," (it being a statement that is comparing their situation to other slaves country) is the same as "slavery wasnt that bad"? serious question. i may be missing something.

what they want and what they are better off with is often two different things.

before that? how did they allow a small foreign force to do this? why did they help a foreign force do this??? surely something was gained.
Africa is a disaster because of colonialism. It's a mishmash of countries that are organized specifically to extract wealth and maintain power over a less than co-operative populace. That's why there are so many kleptocratic dictatorships in Africa. The infrastructure and institutional organizations have been set up for them.
