The President's First Insult

He should be ashamed at the state of Texas football. SHAMED

Go A&M

You could have chosen a winner like TCU or somebody.

He's ashamed President Bush is from Texas.

But if I was a successful country music act I would keep that to myself.

Valmy owns all Dixie Chicks albums.

TCU got a bit whiny there at the end.

One wonders if the animals foaming at the mouth about a black Prez (notwithstanding any other rhetoric about his incompetence) will be able to bring themselves to do anything else than foam at the mouth when the Nigger Prez is no longer Prez...?

I think 'foaming' is the way of the future.

I thought maybe everybody would stop being insane after Clinton but I was wrong about that to.  We are here to stay for awhile unfortunately.

[CountDeMoney]

Wait until Hillary gets in, and then really watch the frothing begin.  At least the negro's got a dick.

[Razgovory]

They still think she killed Vince Foster.

While probably true you are guessing.  If there were large amounts of Muslims who were difficult to convert surely there would be some documentation about this?

Is there much documentation of the beliefs of slaves or their difficulties with conversion?

I think that foaming is the way of your future, for sure, if the past is any indication. 

Please do keep it up; there is no poster on the board bar The Brain who is funnier than you, and the fact that he is being deliberately funny keeps your amusing statements in a class of their own.

I'm trying to think of who would create any official documentation, and coming up blank.  Slave-owner diaries, maybe?  Anyone know if hose have been thoroughly researched?

I'd guess that'd be the only sort of documentation. Maybe diaries and letters by the ministers who were preaching to slaves.

I've always found the Christianisation of slaves slightly odd. I'd love to know more.

I'm not sure that there were ministers preaching to slaves, per se.  I know that in colonial Williamsburg, the churches had a slave section (no pews; the slaves stood throughout) where the household slaves would be brought to listen to the same sermon the household was hearing, and that they were charged (and given time to) then pass on the lessons of the sermon to the slaves who weren't in attendance.  That was a pretty urbanized environment, though.  Maybe, in the countryside, this wouldn't work and there were actually sermons delivered directly to the slaves.  Like you, I'd like to know more.  I'll see what i can dig up from talking to my college or APUS-teaching friends.

You are correct that there is no denying the oddity of the slaveowner's simultaneous legal assertion that slaves had no more rights than any other farm animal, and their religious assertion that they had a Christian duty to save the souls of their slaves.
