Get past your racism and read about an uplifting story and memorial befitting an honorable man.

Ah, the racist card. Of course. This is why the black confederates are so important to you and your ilk. But please, show me what racist statement I've made.

Was he honorable? No idea, although I'll operate under that assumption until shown otherwise, just as I would anyone else. But given that he was an 11 year old slave with no will of his own under law, his honor or lack thereof doesn't enter into things much when it comes to his confederate service.

I read the story (both times you posted it), and I have no issue at all with the service, although as I said the SCV makes me queasy these days, given the Kirk Lyons factor.
