It's the people of the time who committed these heinous acts Jones, you ass head, and NOT the sailing vessels. You say: "That was their purpose and they came to Halifax to work their trade."

While researching a project I'm preparing, I stumbled across this article & comments and would like to share a link to another site I found.

If you can find any credibility in that then you must be smoking crack too.

WE are not talking about what other teachers do, great but failed attempt to distract from the main premise. You accuse others of having argumentative issues when you just sank your ship with your post.

ironic.

Whites accuse blacks of reverse racism.

Blacks accuse whites of racism for reacting to the feeling of generalizations towards them all.

Whites feel the need to defend us.
defend us by using someone's reference as crack as a solid way to argue "subconscious racism" when in fact, you attack your own.

I have had a white have a conversation with me and call them selves a "race traitor" like it was an attribute.
That is sick.

We read someone's OPINION about something, and decide to discredit her as not being well read, or misinformed.
Of course she knows of the positive historyies of the Tall Ships...we all know that.

Maybe we should all take a long look at what we say and do that promotes these hateful attitudes, and realize that this is the most self centered string of garbage that has ever been argued on the coast site.

We have a very large population of asian, jewish,native, dutch, german, arab, african, etc that have issues right now that we turn blind eyes to.

I do not support a colour-blind politic because it ignores so much information that we do need, we do not all have the same structure for example or illnesses or issues.

I need to remind myself that arguing on the internet is like the special Olympics; even if you win you're still retarded.

I didn't say that, I'm saying the value you place on it is higher when it comes from someone trained.

People comment on health issues, but advice from doctors is given more value.

People comment on legal issues, but advice from lawyers is given more value.

A fine, fine comment.

El Jones comments are a little ill-informed and are guilty of only remembering one aspect of history, the very sin she is trying to bring to light.

McGayle is a reactionary ass who doesn't see how racist it is to preport a black womann must have taken "free crack".

Only historians are allowed to comment on society.*

Kings College should be judged on the basis of one teaching fellow and someone who may or may not have sold drugs who attended there (because every university doesn't have numerous people selling drugs!).*

Your parents define everything you will ever do. Don't even bother.*

Halifax has never had any problems with racism.

Regardless, such rhetoric serves one purpose and the reporter did exactly what his papi does....NOT his homework as it should be done. A good reporter would have called out the crap and challenged the subject with opposing CORRECT views on this imaginary issue.

Now if this is a student reporter than too it should have been qualified so the reader can weigh the credibility of the subject, the topic and the medium.

To print this garbage as try to pass it off as information will keep that reporter unemployed unless nepotism is alive and well....

Perhaps you were best to address your need to correct Neo's post that was unpleasant and aggressive..you lost credibility in the way much like the reporter and 'prof' selected their moral outrage.

Browsing the Tall ships website, there is nothing on there about the usages or history of the ships at all, so it does come across as a quaint, fun festival and that is all. Maybe once you get there some history is presented but not on the promotional materials at all.

Not only were tall ships used as slave ships but from where I sit, they were also used as warships, as the means to perpetuate colonialism, as transport for the products of the industrial revolution.... without global transportation we would not have the capitalist society we have now - and that also goes for railways and later for air travel - and that capitalist society took a lot of victims.
