Ok, pretend that you actually read my post and see if you can follow the thread of logic. What I said was that we should let the race baiters "win" this by abolishing every vestige (shred of evidence) of the Confederacy. IF (see, IF) they abolish every vestige of the Confederacy, it means that the Confederacy NEVER existed. If the Confederacy NEVER existed (because we allowed the race baiters to abolish EVERY vestige of it) then, by logical extension, SLAVERY never existed. If SLAVERY never existed (because we allowed the race baiters to abolish every vestige of the Confederacy), then the Civil War NEVER happened (because there was no slavery and no Confederacy to fight the Civil War with). And, if the Civil War NEVER happened (because we allowed the race baiters to abolish every vestige of the Confederacy so that there could not have been slavery and, therefore, no Civil War), then there is NO basis for claims for reparations.

Did you follow that, or do I need to repeat it?

Now, go read the last paragraph of my original post again, or do I need to repeat THAT one for you as well?

I read your post and I have read your reply.

Your statement claiming that if the Confederacy had not existed then slavery would not have existed is a non sequitur.

When the train of logic hits a non sequitur, the train of logic is derailed.

In my post, I pointed out that slavery in America existed long before the founders of the Confederate States of America were ever born.

Yet, you again make the claim:

If the Confederacy NEVER existed (because we allowed the race baiters to abolish EVERY vestige of it) then, by logical extension, SLAVERY never existed.

Slavery existed in the United States of America long before the Confederate States of America ever existed. If the Confederacy had not been founded in 1861, slavery would still have existed in the United States of America in 1791 and the race baiters would still be demanding their reparations money and they would be claiming that Old Glory was the flag of slavery.....as some of them already do.

No matter how many times you repeat a non sequitur, it will remain a non sequitur.

IF (see, IF) they abolish every vestige of the Confederacy, it means that the Confederacy NEVER existed.

Unfortunately for your hypothecation, "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence".

And your exercise sounds a little too Orwellian for me. Better just to call 'em like you see them and let the chips fall, no matter what these political hacks may insist is a politically correct interpretation, theory, or synthesis of history.
