"The pro-slavery Lost Cause is only for lost losers."

Spoken like a true pigheaded yankee. By the way I served for 20 years on active duty to protect your right to free speech, yet you want to label me and silence my free speech. So tell me, where and when did you serve? Fair warning, if you haven't served you best be apologizing for ignorant statements like the one you just made. We of southern descent can be justifiably proud of our forebearers, they fought for what they knew to be constitutionally right. You on the other hand should hang your head in shame as your side fought to enslave free men, and overturn everything the Founders gave us. Besides, it wasn't about slavery, cretin, IT WAS ABOUT PARITY IN THE HALLS OF POWER (i.e. Congress)! Go back and do some in-depth research before you come back and talk to me.

"m.eSPINola" is simply a HATER, nothing more or less than that. don't try to reason with him, as he is beyond reason.

it's like trying to teach a hog to sing. the hog doesn't understand & it will frustrate you.

both "mr. spin" & the hog are UNteachable.

More of the same neo-confederate disinformation. The side you still support had institutionalized slavery coupled with 100 years of Dixie's 'legal' Jim Crow-segregation, but you guys remain mute on these little factoids.

For example:

South Carolina

Child Custody It shall be unlawful for any parent, relative, or other white person in this State, having the control or custody of any white child, by right of guardianship, natural or acquired, or otherwise, to dispose of, give or surrender such white child permanently into the custody, control, maintenance, or support, of a negro. South Carolina

Theaters Every person...operating...any public hall, theatre, opera house, motion picture show or any place of public entertainment or public assemblage which is attended by both white and colored persons, shall separate the white race and the colored race and shall set apart and designate...certain seats therein to be occupied by white persons and a portion thereof , or certain seats therein, to be occupied by colored persons. Virginia

Railroads The conductors or managers on all such railroads shall have power, and are hereby required, to assign to each white or colored passenger his or her respective car, coach or compartment. If the passenger fails to disclose his race, the conductor and managers, acting in good faith, shall be the sole judges of his race. Virginia

Neo-rebs long for 'the good old days'.
