Why Shouldn't I Be Thankful for Slavery? (Jesse Lee vs. Asmerom)

"The leftist assessment of the black conservative is that such a person is angered and frustrated at being born black, which leads to the adoption of conservative views in order to compensate for this perceived “congenital deficiency.” While this is a preposterous accusation to make against all black conservatives, it is intellectually dishonest to pretend as though this characterization of the black right came into existence wholly out of left field. Indubitably, there are some black conservatives whose proclamations and behaviors lend credence to the stereotypical leftist view of black conservatives." -- Chidike Okeem


A black immigrant Asmerom called from New York to ask Jesse why he feels the need to "kowtow to white supremacists." He quotes Jesse as saying, "Thank God and white people for slavery." He asks Jesse, "You think slavery is a good thing?" Jesse answers, "Yes." Thank God we were born here rather than have to sneak across the border or take a test (which we'd never pass, by the way). So be grateful to those who died and sacrificed their lives that we might be born here — rather than wimp and whine and complain about something black people today have never experienced.
