MSNBC’s Race-Obsessed Toure: Blacks Killing White Slaveowners Morally Justified
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, sustained evil — and I believe it can — then it is justified when a slave kills a master,” Toure wrote.
Toure spent the majority of his review discussing the film’s racial implications, ultimately concluding that “Django” is not racist because it depicts black slaves killing white slaveowners, and Toure finds that empowering.
“Django is heroic not just for rescuing his wife but also for spreading justice by putting slavemasters in the grave. It’s honestly baffling to me that smart people could find Django’s slavemaster killings as anything other than heroic,” Toure wrote.

Our rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness are given to us by God, not by men.
If the governments of the world can not get that through their thick heads, then regime change will be necessary.
And, that may mean we have to kill some people.
"Masters" do not own "slaves". Slaves are human beings. You may be able to legally own a slave in a certain part of the world, but that does not mean it is morally acceptable.
I don't know about you, but I applaud those slaves who would kill their masters.

Here's the part that worries me:

Now, maybe I'm reading too much into the above. But I'm wondering if those words could be interpreted as meaning the following: Descendants of slaves should rise up and kill the descendants of slave owners.
I had a personal experience that causes me to worry about what I cited above....
Back in the early 1980s, a biracial student said to me after failing his spelling test, "The reason that I failed this test is because your ancestors kept my ancestors as slaves."
Actually, my ancestors did no such thing -- never mind that many of my ancestors were from the South. Mom's family lived in the grinding poverty of Appalachia, and the ground they owned wouldn't even sprout black-eyed peas; Dad's family had conscientious objections to owning slaves.
But I think that you get my point. That kid in my class saw ALL white people as former slave owners.
What that kid expressed is, in many cases, the norm among blacks here in the South.
I hear it all the time:
"The man is keepin' me down."
"______________ is not my fault. My ancestors were slaves."
"We built this country, and the white man forced us to build all this." [reminiscent of BHO's words "You didn't build that"]
And the like.
These people of whom I am speaking -- and some of them upper middle class, BTW -- want and expect reparations.
