I would be profoundly more embarrassed by association to that quote than anything my GG grandfater did. (and my gg grampa killed a man in Texas - just to see him bleed!).

Well, I did think that I covered all of the bases, by calling the author what I had. :-)

Respectfully, I disagree. In 20 years, the Universities will be named after the victors.

It is impossible that these two gutless wussies could be lineal descendants of Stonewall Jackson. Absolutely impossible. Skeletons in the closet.

They’ve got Stonewall lashed down in his coffin so he can’t spin.

Disgraceful!

we are ashamed to benefit from white supremacy while our black family and friends suffer.

Dafuq are you talking about? (click the farticle and look at their pics, they look like the white dudes on "Cops")

I have ZERO love for the Confederacy, the opposite in fact, but it's psychotic attitudes like this that's driving this Neo-Confederate popularity, even in the North.

Any of you guys benefited from White supremacy lately? It's more likely your kids will have to pretend to be Black to get into college.

It’s a good thing that the most pressing issue facing “man”kind are statues of dead people from a war that ended 150+ years ago. Really, eat s**t and die.

The whole thing is about erasing American history; it’s Khmer Rouge “Year Zero” tactics.

I have a very close friend who is a descendent of Nathan Bedford Forrest. (I actually looked into this, and it checks out).

Needless to say, this is a pretty complicated legacy.

The family position seems to be, “He was a brilliant soldier and never intended for the Klan to become what it was. At the same time, his tactics, his cause, and his legacy are not anything we endorse.”
