Plenty of fine black folks, many here on FR. The worst decision ever made was us allowing the left to use them as a tool.

I remembered New Jersey, but forgot Virginia, North Carolina & Louisiana.
Not sure how many, if any, actual slaves remained in those places after Appomattox in 1865.

The last slaves were freed in New Jersey.

Jews are smart people, but they veer left, or at least the vocal ones do. I am a Jew. Who am I to say I "allow the left" to "use blacks" as a tool? I wish I knew. I wish these madnesses were not occurring.

Why the hell do they let this happen, I guess people in those states just don’t give a $hit.

Before the war Kentucky had been considered a Southern state, and though it supported the Union in the war, it was considered a Southern state afterwards. Somebody said (or there was an old saying) that Kentucky joined the Confederacy after the war was over. Almost four times the number of Kentuckians fought for the Union as for the Confederacy, but after the war the romance of the Old South and the Lost Cause took root in the state.
DW Griffith, the director of Birth of a Nation was from Kentucky and the son of a Confederate colonel. Southern writers Robert Penn Warren and Allen Tate were both born in Kentucky. Both had Confederate ancestors, but many whose ancestors had fought for the Union came to think of themselves a sons and daughters of the Confederacy. Schools didn't want to offend the ex-Confederate lobby and there was enough hostility the big cities of the North that many Kentuckians came to identify with the Old South.

Maybe they think the statues are democrats and now they know what they do.

I am beyond glad that I no longer am in the position of hiring or firing anyone.
Blacks don’t wish to attend free school- K-12.
They don’t wish to educate themselves for a future job skill.
They don’t wish to actually WORK.
They don’t wish to have a future where they can actually OWN something they WORKED for & didn’t steal.
THEN-—they want me to hire them-—teach them a skill on the job while paying them full rates—and to RESPECT THEM on top of all of this.
AIN’T GOING TO HAPPEN...

"The last slaves were freed in New Jersey." Legally, whatever slaves remained in any state, North or South, for any reason except criminal conviction, were freed by ratification of the 13th Amendment in December 1865.
Whatever "servants" wished to remain with their previous "masters" was their choice, but the law no longer bound them, period.
