| MSNBC personality Toure, currently a co-host of the cable network’s mid-day chat show “The Cycle,” declared on his blog Monday that it’s morally acceptable for slaves to kill their owners. Toure made the declaration on toure.com, in a review of Quentin Tarantino’s new slavery-themed action film “Django Unchained.” “For the descendants of slaves, who live in a world still tangibly doused in slavery’s residue, watching Django kill his oppressors could possibly feel cathartic. If murder can ever be morally justified by the presence of clear, undiluted,

The actual slaves who actually lived in the USA were more decent than these idiots. They did not massacre their owners like the slaves of Haiti had done.

I hesitate to opine on the article for I have never owned a slave nor do I know of anyone who was a slave.
Evidently the author is closer to slavery than the rest of us.

Toure will have to go back to Africa and Arab lands to kill slaves. They are the only known present-day slave owners. If he is related (at least by his name) to now-deceased Guinean President Ahmed Sekou Toure, his ancestors were known for going throughout the forest country animistic tribes, either killing the men, or selling them into slavery, and taking their wives. His name was Samoury, and the stories are endless about him in Guinea and neighboring Sierra Leone.

Comcast needs to fire this racist. I read this person as giving permission to blacks to murder whites, since he seems to think slavery is a kind of original sin for whites at all times and forever. Never mind that blacks were and continue to be the biggest slave owners and traders ever. Are there any adults at Comcast? Comcast owns this execrable channel. This Comcast racist is advocating murder!

Murder of slave-holders is immoral for the simple reason that it is illegal.
We have courts and punishments for slave holders. In fact we see such people prosecuted from time to time, especially wherever there are plenty of Islamic people.

This is what happens when you get rid of God, religion and a clear moral code that comes from both. Morals and ethics then become just a matter of opinion, open to interpretation according to your life experience. Instead of one God, we all become gods. Pretty intoxicating to the weak-minded.

This idiot is probably against the death penalty where state run murder is morally justifiable.
Why wouldn´t someone who bludgeoned his 92 year old grandmother to death,get the death penalty?Worse than that he gets out of jail after serving 17 years.

I`m seriously beginning to believe the entire MSLSD staff of on air personalities are the type who would pull a gun an massacre a large group of people. These psycho`s are so extreme they warrant a closer look by the authorities. What type of an idiot would say such a stupid thing?

As long as we have elitist blacks like this clown making statements that excuse bad behavior, the black community will never get anywhere.
Hey Toure, the 72% rate of black single-mother births was not caused by slavery. In fact I believe in 1920, 90% of blacks were born to a 2-parent family.

Those who just cannot get enough of Toure´s special insights should take a look at his blog: http://toure.typepad.com/
One hesitates to say so -correct grammar is, after all, one of those code words Toure´ loves to talk about- but the first thing that jumps out is the same subject-verb disagreement that Obama repeatedly displays:
"I’m sure there’s things I’m missing."
Right. And one of them is subject-verb agreement. Our prez has the same problem.
What follows this mismatch is pretentious low-grade lit-crit cant in praise of a rap song about (or by) a run-of-the mill black urban criminal.
Toure´ may rationalize racial murder, but he definitely murders language and thought.

Consult with the Bible first there, pal. The Bible neither condemns, nor condones slavery, as it was a very common practice in the Middle East as a means of paying off one´s debts. Slaves did have the right to run away from an abusive master, and could find refuge in the home of another free-man, however, the Bible NEVER condones murder.
Another thing these modern day "plantation blacks" have haunting them is the large number of slaves who decided to remain in the employ of their former masters post-War. They were far happier and better taken care of than the ones who made it to the the New York City slums.

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later. Baroness Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992. Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”
