[QUOTE="The Atomic Punk, post: 874195, member: 3874"] This lack of acknowledging the civil war was with regards to slavery is new to me on some level. I've had black folk push that the civil war was not fought over slavery........as if whitey didnt care.....as if 360,000 dudes gave their life for nothing. The narrative from these folk is it was exonomic, rather than whites giving a fuck.......Wrong! Perhaps its a Southern Democratic / Jim Crow thing........lamenting the War of Northern agression that the slavery aspect wih the civil war exists........everyone I know believes that Lincoln led the way with the war to free slaves. Its not talking / teaching about slavery that is the issue with many...its pinning it on modern day whites that is the issue. Does racism exist.....sure. Do whites do alot for blacks.......Yes! Am I gonna take responsibility for shit I did not do? GTFO! Am I gonna act decent toward my brother from another mother.....you bet! Lets discuss the history of slavery going way, way, way back.......You ready? [/QUOTE]
