She may have ruined her son’s special day, but I’m even more concerned about the rest of his life.

"Before winter break in December, the class had an auction where students could bid on different items using their 'big bucks,'" she told MyFox8 . . . Hyler said he lost the hat just after winning it, but found it last week in lost-and-found. The kid chose this prize himself and cared enough to look for it. I find the mother disappointing.

I’m beginning to think our society will never change. AA’s have been so brain washed that they just believe what they hear.

The left have robbed the blacks of their country, they do not have one now.
To: dennisw
Many blacks served in the CS Army as cooks, medical, engineers( entrenching and fortifications), teamsters and black smiths. Some even fought with the troops.

Someone donated the hat for the teachers to use in an auction using script the kids had earned. The kid freely and willing chose the hat. Given the current state of education, it is likely that the teachers involved had no idea of the significance of the color and shape of the hat.
The proverbial tempest in the hysterical teapot.

sometimes a hat, is just that..a hat.

Ms Lea, were you a slave in the 1800s? Your son wanted it and besides do you know that blacks did fight for the south?

Black slaves were impressed to perform tasks for the CSA, and some officers brought servants from home. The blacks involved identified for the most part with the Southern home, and were not necessarily Union sympathizers. Towards the end of the War the Confederate Government, offered slaves the opportunity with a promise of manumission after the War, and black units were formed.

Louisiana had a relatively large number of free blacks, and black slaveholders.

Time to be done with being offended. Folks who are offended are weak.

There are numerous first hand accounts from Union Officers reporting armed black troops in the CS Army.

She woke up outraged, then learned about the hat.

The First Louisiana Native Regiment was an all black Civil War unit.
There were actually 2 of units with this same name. The Union Unit had all black enlisted men with white officers. The Confederate Unit had all black enlisted men, but the officers were black. What does this show?
