US Helicopter Pilot Shot Down in Somalia

In 1992, The United States Working Under The Authority Of The United Nations Sent Troops To Somalia In East Africa To Stop The Starvation Of Millions.

In October 1993 During One Mission, We Got Into The Middle Of An Internal Conflict Between Rival Gangs. Two Of Our Helicopters Were Shot Down And As The Photos Show Our Soldiers Were Striped Naked And Dragged Through The Streets Before A Large Screaming Mob.

Re: US Helicopter Pilot Shot Down in Somalia

if you invert the picture, you see how it was a 100 years ago: white men dragging african people through the dirt like they were animals. Savages indeed. Of course, to get even, they would need to shoot down millions of helicopters, lol :P

It's a crazy world nowadays.. (1993 anyway :D)

You can't possibly believe these Somalis dragging this man through the streets is somehow evening the score for slavery.

People stuck with this kind of "I'm entitled because" mentality will never be able to make anything of themselves. There's a black man in the white house now. Moving on....

yeah, bet he can take his dead fetus baby into the white house because of "griefing process" right?

You missed the point:

We see this pictures and think, damn, only savages can do that to another person.
But, invert the picture, and you get an image which would not seem out of place a 100 years ago when there was slavery.

My other point was that they can never settle that score. But i give you bonus points for dragging dead fetuses into the white house...

You'll have to tell me what "griefing" is. I didn't miss your point of view, I just don't agree with it at all.

These savages are no better or worse then the savages you mention that abused slaves 150 years ago. Just because white men did it once doesn't justify these bastards to me. Your mileage may vary.
