Re: The Good Ones
Well that's certain bullshit buz. Might want to re-read your history.
Please tell me how the Cheyenne-Arapahoe Massacre at Cherry Creek was not the result of originally violent settlers?
We wanted their land and we killed them to get it.
And isn't it funny how if America is supposed to the the land of the free those people had to move to the midwest to find it? Or maybe they were going for different reasons?
No surprise, coming from you. Given you screw ups in history.

Re: Sumarization Time
Not to defend Buz completely, I'll get to him in a sec, but Black Islam is a distinct strain of Islam (I believe distinctly American at that). I don't think he meant anything racist by that.
Malcolm X gained fame within that "denomination" as it were, then was killed by them when he split to become strictly Islamic. He had had a religious awakening to the more traditional Islamic culture when on the Hajj, as well as having a falling out with the leader of the Black Islamic community.

sum up
Darn no time to respond?
Okay. Vote Obama! Or at least I like him right now.
There is no reason for the state of Israel, and it has only done harm. If anything I am concerned that Obama will be too lenient with it.

Re: The Good Ones
Prior to 1492, over 40 million North American people (with around 1800 religions) were slaughtered and/or "converted" by protestant xians.
that's completely impossible, considering that the protestant reformation began in 1517.
yes, we are still in the midst of a massive and ongoing genocide that has lasted over 600 years. but it wasn't started by protestants before 1492.
