Ken asks…
How did White people think the slavery situation was going to end?
I mean, did you guys expect slavery to go on forever, or did you know that eventually it would have to end? I just cannot imagine how these slave owners slept at night knowing that they were surrounded by people they claimed to own as property….Secondly, why do white people complain about blacks when you guys were the once who hauled us over here? I guess it must be the sins of the fathers falling upon the children…If you all had been willing to grow your own cotton, tobacco and sugarcane (in the Caribbean) We obviously would not be in the West in such numbers as we are. So please stop complaining about it, because you are reaping what was sowed.
Since I know that white people get together and talk about these things in secret, I am asking this question. You answers will not offend me.
I am fully aware that black Africans sold other black Africans into slavery. They will get theirs in the afterlife. The pits of hell are waiting. However, if I kidnapped someone and then sold them to you, we are both guilty…So pointing out this fact does not absolve the white slaveholders.

The southern Conservatives were not concerned with the future, but only with their own privileges. As long as they could rape their sex slaves they didn’t care about the future, and they were prepared to do anything to preserve their present.
This hasn’t changed much today. The Conservatives are ignoring the threats of climate change and globalization that threaten the furure welfare of the Union, but as long as their wealth and privilege can be maintained they will do so, regardless of the cost.
Treason takes many forms.
For the record, my family comes from Wesr Virginia and seceded from Virginia to avoid fighting for slavery. I am pretty sure, given how long slavery has existed, that we all have slave owning ancestors somewhere.
Robert asks…
Should I invest in tobacco and rolling papers since people will be rolling their own pretty soon?
Prices nationwide range between $4 a pack to around $9 per pack (depending on where your at).
Most of this price increase is due to new “sin taxes” = smokers are bad for smoking, tax them.
But won’t people eventually realize one small investment in a rolling machine, rolling papers, and your own tobacco would save A FORTUNE?
GardenersCardiff answers:
If I smoked, I would probably grow my own. Not hard to do. I like to garden, so its not that big of a deal to grow a plant. About as hard as growing green beans. You can even grow it in a very large pot or a 5 gallon bucket on a fire escape.
Obama will probably send out the excise tax people to catch the small guy thogh.
