Just pointing out where somebody couldn't recover because they were proven a fool, Murdy... :Grin3:
... but... but... the FBI is currently making inquiries as to the people who stormed the capital with that flag in tow on December 37, 2020.
It’s a traitors flag and is against democracy.
....stilll havent done your research.
I checked it out. Not convinced that a bunch of sweet southerners aren’t completely delusional about what actually went down.
My law education included the hangings of slaves and then freed blacks on the front steps of the courthouse through the 1920s based solely on their owners and testimony of white people.... so I will be nearly next to impossible to crack.
Sounds like you have learned nothing. I give you a link to an old black guy that once was in the NAACP, and you learned nothing? It took me DAYS to read everything there. You obviously didnt read anything there.
Now you are talking about some hate crimes it sounds like.
Do you know why some lynchings took place back then? Blacks were raping white women, which was partly why the KKK formed. Whites were guilty of it too though, raping black women, thus a lot of white people were lynched too by black people, but you dont read about that. Lynching was a way the people took crimes into their own hands back then. The "police force" was nothing like it is today. Dont get me wrong, lynching sounds pretty bad, but when folks are pissed cause someones wife got raped, I say it sounds pretty justified. They didnt quite have the law system put in place like we have today. It was still like the wild west so to speak. Hell, I played Red Dead Redemption, the sheriff asked ME for help, hahahahaha.
Blazor.. I think you are a southern gentleman and I believe that you believe in what you’re telling me. We are going to have to agree to disagree here.... the North & South have always been divided by this issue.
I will give you the benefit of the doubt here that your ancestors did not own/abuse/murder slaves and that you currently don’t use the “N” word or harbor “white rage.”
But I’m NOT changing my mind. Not after all of the images I’ve seen of the brutality against slaves and the KKK using the confederate flag. Not after I have personally endured systematic racism against my friends and CERTAINLY not after I studied soooo many unjust cases about the treatment of blacks in this country.
I get that this is who you are and I can respect that since I have always enjoyed posting with you.
Why thank you, I do appreciate the compliments and truths.
North and South, they were not divided in slavery, they both owned slaves, and Lincoln only freeed the slaves in the South at the time. The North wanted to OWN the South, the main issue for them breaking off was high taxes, truth. And States rights. It was when the North invaded, that other states such as Virginia broke off.
I also know that there was some mistreatment of slaves, but it was not limited to the South. Slaves that fled to the North, found worse treatment up there, the North did not want them. Slaves were treated worse up North. As far as the KKK, early on they mostly flew the American flag. It wasnt til later did certain hate groups decided to use it for their own hateful purposes.
Allow me to delve further...... you dont want people to condemn BLM right, cause of a few people destroying shit right? You want others to believe that the whole cause is not bad right? Its the same exact way with the Confederate flag my dear, not all of us are bad, or racist one single bit. We fly our flag with honor, knowing the truth, that all races fought under that flag, and despise all racism that others use with our flag. Truth.
I've never had a problem with you either Murdy, and hope that one day you will see the truths Im posting about the South.
