Singer Lauryn Hill Blames Slavery For Not Paying Her Taxes
It never ends does it?
http://hiphopwired.com/2013/05/08/la...es-on-slavery/ “I am a child of former slaves who had a system imposed on them,” the New Jersey native told U.S. Magistrate Madeline Cox Arleo.“I had an economic system imposed on me. Someone did the math, and it came to around $600 million. And I sit here before you trying to figure out how to pay a tax debt?” |

India has a high rate of English fluency due to the British colonization years and Western dominance of international business. You couldn't be more wrong if you tried. |

Take a look at the contact situations between the different racial and ethnic groups in this country:
Blacks- Taken from their homeland and forced into slavery. Native Americans- Conquered and basically eradicated. What little remained were forced onto reservations. Various Asian ethnic groups- Came to the country willingly looking for a better life. Middle Easterners- Came to the country willingly looking for a better life. I don't think its a coincidence that black and Native Americans are experiencing similar economic issues while Asians and Middle Easterners have had quite a bit more success. |

Everybody is in a group and hates the other groups. Sounds like high school.

Lauren Hill and this thread need to impale themselves on an AIDS tree stump.

Let's not pretend that Indians weren't violent and weren't involved in fighting with and against the British.. you know why SOME blacks still struggle? SOME blacks refuse to forgive, and can't move forward. |

1.) I thought we were on the same side on this issue.
2.) I'm very proud of you for using "you're" instead of "your."
