I watched about two minutes of her bullshit and then turned her off. Then I read the comments of the people on YouTube about what she said and wondered what history they believed. These are the people who a pushing America towards armed conflict (civil war).

Her major problem is that she is viewing the past through today's eyes. The problem with that is that much has changed since the days she has her focus on. For one thing, white men back then were the ones who received the education. However, even with that being the case there will still those of color and female who broke-out of their usual stations in life nonetheless. Reason being that the capable are always going to find a way to overcome the constraints.

If the south had won, a lot of the changes that took place and opened the door for more people of color & women to move forward, would either have never occurred, or would have occurred much later.

If it were just a case that white men just wanted to maintain all of the power, then they could have held on to that power, if that was their true desire. But it obviously wasn't, for white man fought against white man to live up to the ideals the founding fathers had envisioned with all men being created equal in the eyes of the Lord.

Basically this woman is a Marxist eschewing Marxist Theory to create division.

She said Joe Biden is reaching across the aisle and Fox News’ rhetoric releases endorphins like watching pro-wrestling. She said 70% Americans want gun control.

She lost me when she didn’t know the difference between a democracy and a republic.

Zero credibility.

The interview isn't about the Confederacy per se, and the author didn't write the title. It's about her theory that America's ruing class (= old White men) seek to preserve what they regard as their "equality" by creating "inequality" for others. That whenever another rising segment of the population begins to threaten their power base (as happened with the mass immigrations of the Irish & the Chinese, etc, and again with the women's suffrage movement), the old White men invariably find a way to disenfranchise that group.

Which is both a female-centric and American-centric POV because the male of the species is hard-wired to be competitive, whatever his race, whatever his nationality. The men who run China are not White, yet they strive to maintain the position of their group and resist and resent the intrusion of outsiders. The same goes for Indonesia, Chile, Uganda or the Navajo Nation in Arizona.

Women by and large do not share this compulsion. From childhood, they tend to be drawn more to cooperative activities. "Playing house" has no winners and no losers and the end goal is for everyone to feel good about themselves. Left to their own devices, young boys will concoct some sort of competitive activity, the goal of which is to establish their ranking within the group, so everyone knows who he can boss around and who can boss him.

All will struggle to improve their station. Those lacking the drive, the knowledge, the skills, or the abilities will drift to the bottom of the heap. Those who are better equipped will fight their way to the top, and having reached it, fight to remain there.

This penchant tends to create structure and order. The resulting organization is one that can be steered and given direction and purpose. Which is the difference between a civilization that can build nations versus nomadic tribes wandering in the wilderness.

Once again, we see that Leftists are and have always been against the South.

The South is having the last laugh and revenge though with the Obama and Biden Union government.

Well, the Party of slave ownership is in charge of DC, so maybe there’s a point here(?)
