The truth on slavery.....

those who were sentenced to servitude for crimes had a lot more autonomy than African chattel. Originally Posted by Vivienne Rey

No you would not ever celebrate for those that would stand up against what they thought was unfair treatment by an overbearing and overreaching government. You would lead them to the trains.
Just like your hero Soros. Originally Posted by The2Dogs

You should step down from ECCIE staff immediately.

You and your butt buddy 2Dogs are a couple of fine Americans.

What have either of you done to benefit this country?

Slavery at any time in history is shitty. There have been some cultures that avoided slavery because they recognized it as wrong. Many Native American tribes practiced slavery. They were fucking wrong. It has nothing to do with race, by the way. All races have been equally fucked up regarding slavery. In our society -today- we have come to recognize that not only is slavery shitty but so is racism. Yep, racism is also stupid and shitty. As for the Democrats who defended slavery...what's the point being made? In the South many Democrats switched to Republican when the nation started its march toward civil rights. Those southern Dems didn't like civil rights or equal rights and that is what compelled them to switch parties. That's one key reason the South went from being Democrat to Republican.

Now that is an urban myth. After 1948 the Dixiecrat democrats wanted to stay in power. They stayed with the democrat party almost to a man. Of the democrats who tried to stop the 1964 civil rights act only two changed parties. Byrd, Fulbright, Gore, Faubus, and Wallace stayed democrat till the end.

I suggest that you read Puddin Head Wilson by Mark Twain. He was a lawyer, a country lawyer who was pretty smart. In one case Wilson proved that the master of a plantation in the antebellum era was actually a child of a slave who could pass for white. A slave, who was supposed to be mixed race, was in reality the son of the late master swapped at birth by the slave mother. The "happy ending" was that the former master was now a slave being sold and the former slave was having to come to grips with being a person with rights and wealth.

Assup has issues with understanding. He thincks that him being a leftist is somehow patriotic and that recognizing people that were a part of a great civil conflict is somehow akin to being a Nazi.
Your leftist buddies are the ones that are the Nazi sympathizers. Your hero Soros that funds the leftist movement worked with the Nazis.

I personally do not hold up for praise the fathers of the Confederacy but neither do I choose to eliminate them from history. It is the Nazis that ostracized and shut down a whole race of people with help from so many Judases such as yourself and your hero Soros. The leftists are the ones trying to wipe out history and blaming conservatives for their own problems including those of what occurred almost 150 years ago. You are repeating what the Nazis did to the Jews with your intolerance and hate. You, who claims to be a jew should recognize this except for you are blinded by your leftist visions.

You are a sad and pathetic person. Your race should be ashamed of you.

Fuck you, 2Dorks.

In all three holes.

Using the expression "urban myth" allows for the speaker to issue myths. Like you barley.
I suggest you read esteemed historians, not self-serving "urban myth" supporters. Why get so defensive? You're not a racist idiot, are you? Democratic Dixie, it is commonly understood, shifted with the civil rights movement. Your version is fake. Democrats -the Harvard & Ivy League-educated sector, were too damn comfortable with their racist fellow Dems in the South for way too long. It was a good thing the red-necks finally broke rank. It made the positions and philosophies more evident. Elitists and poorly-educated red-necks finally found their comfy, secure ground, on opposite hilltops, and they screamed at each other, and still do.

Don't like being exposed there Assup?
