General Election 2015

[Kirkland Laing]

I see. So all those slaves had exactly the same rights as every other person in America. That's an interesting take on American history and not one shared by many historians.

So 100% of black people were slaves? If you hopped in a time machine and told that to Anthony Johnson I'm certain he would be shocked.

And when you use a word like "phyletic" do you really think that people reading it who know you believe you know what you're talking about or do you think they start giggling?

Aww honey, if the question was too complex and you wanted me to break it down for you then you should have just asked princess....I didn't mean to bruise your ego.

Come here Kirkland, sit on my knee and let me tell you a story.....you see phyletic gradualism is a slow drawn out dare I say GRADUAL (see where that comes from, GRADUAL-ism....oooh we're learning...it's fun!) process where an organism undergoes changes in order to best adapt to the challenges the environment presents it with. After a while these changes lead the organism to become an entirely different species from it's ancestors. Kind of like the way some dinosaurs are believed to have slowly and steadily developed into birds.

Now on the other hand we have punctuated equilibrium which is a quick dynamic form of evolution happening over a short period of time where an organism quickly separates from it's ancestors into an entirely different species.

....but I interrupted you....you were being condescending

So we can agree that it was only the black people who were enslaved who counted as 3/5ths of a person as far as the US constitution was concerned. Excellent.

And yes, I'm going to continue laughing at you until you eventually go the full Al Gore. Then I'm going to laugh even more.
