Description: Crispus Attucks was born in 1723. His father, Prince, lived in Africa but was shipped to New England to become a slave. There he married a Natick Indian of North America named Nancy. His sister, Phebe, was born shortly after. He was born two years later. He had a younger brother who died young. He grew up a slave. He worked with his father on the farmwhile his mother and sister did housework. They were treated with kindness and respect by their master. He began to desire his freedom and became a problem, so his master sold him. Although his new owner allowed more freedom, he wanted to work on ships. At the age of 27 he went on a business trip to Boston where he secretly applied for a job as a whaler. He knew that this trip would not be returning to Boston soon, so his master would not be able to find him. In the fall of 1769 Attucks, now 46, returned to Boston. King George III was trying to rule the colonies and this was making the colonists upset. To take control of the situation King George sent British officers over to enforce the laws. The particular situation between Parliment and the colonies' leaders added a lot of tension between the British troops and the townspeople. Attucks left to go on another voyage and returned February of 1770. At this time a British soldier had shot a boy while being taunted by a group of townspeople. Attucks walked onto a platform in front of a large crowd and spoke briefly but effectivly about striking back against the British. His speech prompted colonists to fight for their freedom. On March 5, 1770, the townspeople heard fire bells ringing and as they walked out into the street they saw Attucks leading a small group. He said it was a signal calling the townspeople to the town square to solve the problem with the British. Attucks gathered a large group of colonists and challenged the British troops to fight without their guns. Suddenly, someone yelled fire and a British soldier shot and killed Attucks. At the end of the shooting, four other people had been shot: Samuel Gray, James Caldwell, Samuel Maverick, and Patrick Carr. At the memorial service many speeches were given about the bravery of Crispus Attucks. The fact that he was not treated equally and still had the courage to fight for his country became one of the greatest inspirations for the colonists. This incident has been named the Boston Massacre. |

The Fact is that ilegal imigration is goin on the Mexican Border as the Canadian Border.Thus making this issue a racist matter not a Ilegal entry issue. __________________________________________________ | |
| AmericanResolve ::: Favorites 2006-12-22 17:06:57 Uh now, dipshit. Blacks in America are among the hardest hit group by the illegal Mexican invasion. Wages for Black workers are consistently depressed by the invading hordes and more Black Americans are recognizing the threat to their economic survival. __________________________________________________ | |
| ChuckyJCthulhu ::: Favorites 2006-12-17 04:05:30 Nice to see the Minutemen have managed to snag a few token non-Whites to give voice to their racist rhetoric. Slaveowners, after all, used to employ a few house slaves on the dole to speak of how benevolent the slaveowners were to the masses. I guess little's changed. __________________________________________________ | |
| avrpm ::: Favorites 2006-12-15 02:16:09 I can't believe these racist Mexicans, can't handle it when an American of any color stands up for its country. You open border bloggers are losing badly. Pack it up and go south permenantly. We are tired of your demands and whining. __________________________________________________ | |
| avrpm ::: Favorites 2006-12-15 02:10:46 I was hoping I would see the day when Blacks and White stand together. BECAUSE we are AMERICANS together. They day has finally come when we have to fight together. God Bless us, no color, one race in this nation THE AMERICAN RACE! Keep it up! See you at the next rally. __________________________________________________ | |

| wilsonclan ::: Favorites 2006-10-16 08:14:39 The jobs traditionally performed by blacks are the jobs now performed by illegals. Illegals will work for very little and thus supress wages for the poorest workers (they're not taking jobs from laywers, politicians or anethesiologists are they) which includes a large proportion of blacks. But most blacks won't lift a finger to help themselves against the illegals because of widespread ignorance such as that evidenced by some of the posters here. __________________________________________________ | |
