  1. It's hard make funny about this. Slaves had no hope. American slavery, maybe the most brutal and long running and inescapable in human history, was the definition of hopelessness.

  2. “But they too had a dream, that one day their sons, daughters, granddaughters, great-grandsons, great-granddaughters might pursue prosperity and happiness.”

    Does this asshole even hear himself when he speaks? I'm sure all those blah huddled together in the darkness at the bottom of those slave ships, chained to each other, were dreaming about the great life ahead for their children…

  3. I'm sequestered away for 8+ hours at work, knowing naught beyond four walls. I'm done, I walk out to my car, note the overcast sky… I get in my car, turn on the radio and "Wait, he said what!?"
