malcolm xx said this in post #30 :
What did he say? Did he read post # 15? Has anyone read post #15? Why hasn't his sources been questioned? or motives? Isn't anyone curious to how[why?] someone could write post #15 BUT HAS NEVER SEEN[or set foot in] THAT COUNTRY ? How can anyone to write such fiction?

Malcolm, if I were not such an open-minded person, I may have taken offense to your implication that I am mindless sheep...
Just to make sure that I wasn't being unfair though, I went back to post 15 and you know what I found? I found a Scot, posing questions about the country that you were using to be-rate his. BTW, I am still waiting on the research that you were doing since that post--back in MAY... Also, you don't have to GO to Zimbabwe in order to find out about it.. TV is riddled with information, the internet is a useful tool, and if you think that neither are reliable sources, there are people FROM there who live on your street or in your neighbourhood, (which I would find to be a more reliable source), although one will never know the FULL truth unless it is experienced first-hand. On that note, I would like to turn your own question back around on you... Have YOU ever been to Scotland?
I appreciate your response to my question White Tiger... it's refreshing....

I like the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. He's strangely funny at times, although over time his humour wears on you. Still, his accent is fun, and he's the decendent of a Scottish slavemaster. How do I know that little fact? Well, I'm able to make things up whenever I want regarding slavery and those involved in any activity that could POTENTIALLY or NOT POTENTIALLY adversely affect black people around the world (even in Scotland, although I'm not so sure that there ARE any black people in Scotland, and if there are, they must not understand the history of where they are living...) and, of course, the "black cause"...
Oh yeah, and Zimbabwe rules. One day, when I have the time, money, and appropriate shots, I'll go there...

As you may know, I am Canadian, and there is ONE bit of truth to what I read in Malcolm's posts.... I learned NOTHING about Canada's involvement with the Slave Trade. It wasn't until a few months ago that I finally was enlightened to the fact that there WERE indeed slaves in Canada, and the slave owners here were worse than those in the southern states of the US. I was SHOCKED to know this.. all I ever learned about in school was that Canada was where the underground railroad had been and that run-away slaves came here to be free. It made me sad that a HUGE chunk of Canadian History had been uncovered in both grade school and high school.
On another note though it IS also correct that, lies and innuendo are always rampant, but the truth always has a way of coming out. It is a shame that, if like in my case, Black history was not taught at all, other than as a brief mention. Youth of today at least get the benefit of Black History Month.. I certainly did not. But it would behoove any person of colour not to research it on his or her own. Clearly, slavery was wrong and I don't know of any country that it shouting it proudly from the hills that was involved in it. I think that there is a vestige of shame,.. as well there should be, but I don't think that there is a "cover-up". The truth is always there, waiting to be discovered... Seeking it is a personal choice, at least it is in my humble opinion. You cannot depend on others to tell you what you think that you should know.... Anyways, that's my 2 cents...
