Well don't pull your punches now, Mac. Care to name a few names? Step right up. Give a detailed analysis of why each person you name is a drooler, a cretin, or an auto-eroticist.
Come on, you uttered the slurs, now back 'em up.
most southerners long ago renounced the racist secessionist political philosophy
1. Are you just equating secessionism with racism in order to call all secessionists racists? Or can you show that secessionists were somehow peculiarly racist in some hallmark, "hyper-racist" fashion not shared by Northern racists, including the really tall one from Springfield, Illinois, concerning whom you get really irritable about other people's bringing in his speeches to show that he was essentially racist, for modern political purposes, in a way that reflected people's common understanding in those days?
2. Have you some polling data that show that Southerners are neither secessionists nor racists? You made a generalization here, and I'd like to see the data you generalized from.
3. When are you going to stop applying to people who lived 150 years ago, the politically loaded yardsticks of modern, PC interracial attitudes (overlooking for a moment their diodic, or one-way, qualities), to which none of the people alive more than about 50 years ago can stand up without receiving a moral judgment which is your entire purpose in bringing the subject up?
He won't name any names because (1) he's been busted before slandering people with false accusations of David Duke support and (2) he knows his own comraderie of Wlat Brigadeers include a racist neo-nazi among other lowlifes.
No. By their posts you will know them.
"Are you just equating secessionism with racism ...?
Yes, as it was practiced by the CSA. But racial prejudice, in its various guises, was then not uncommon. The form practiced in the slave states, however, was particularly invidious.
"... in order to call all secessionists 'racists'?"
No. That should be clear from the sentence structure.
"Have you some polling data that show that Southerners are neither secessionists nor racists?"
Polling data??? You need a break.
"When are you going to stop applying to people who lived 150 years ago, the politically loaded yardsticks of modern, PC interracial attitudes?"
When I see evidence that the members of the confederate cabal do the same.
It's called an agenda. He's pushing one. If they admit to the legality of secession, it makes their war one of aggression against innocents.
