This story kinda flies in the face of everything we were taught in induction camp public school.

Ping!

This story begs the question, to wit;
Will descendants of black slave-owners be required to pay reparations to themselves?!?!?

Very interesting story.
Opens the door for a lot of questions.

taught in induction camp
(Shocked look on face)- Surely your not insinuating that our hard earned tax money is spent teaching untruths?.

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Ya, you got it. One story proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that there never was slavery, the Klan was a kindly benevolent society that only sought to help the less fortunate, and that the thousands of blacks found hanging from trees were all suicides. The damn Yankees just made all that other stuff up. < / sarcasm >

This story does not surprise me since it took place right after the Civil War. The original KKK went after people who supported the so called carpet baggers and was not totally racially oriented. They protected both white and black property owners, IF THE BLACKS STAYED IN THEIR PLACE, which is where the catch was. Probably after 1880 or 1890 and certainly in the 1930's the KKK was totally racially oriented.

In the town where I live, some of the older blacks have told me stories of how they were protected from the so called "po' white trash", by the local KKK. But once again they were expected to STAY IN THEIR PLACE, and were treated as second class citizens. Right or wrong, I am just talking about history.

Separate but equal was an accepted way of life by the blacks and the whites in some areas. But, very seldom were the blacks treated as equals. This was especially true in the ability to obtain higher education. When our high schools integrated, a large number of the black students did very well academically which would leave you to believe their educational system did work to a certain extent.

And then there was football. Lincolnton, GA probably has one of the best records in the country. We have Garrison Hearst, Barney Bussey, and a few other's playing Pro Football right now. The first year of integration we had an amusing incident at one of the games. One of our black halfbacks was tackled and went out of bounds to the wire. A bunch of rednecks from another town kicked him. Once again this is history and the following is an actual quote and is in no way meant to be a racial slur. But this is what happened and this was the war cry that came from the Lincoln County Rednecks, "You Son of a Bitches, that's a Lincoln County nigger you just kicked", as the fight started.

During the integration process, slightly prior to this incident, there was a civil rights march in Lincolnton of mostly outsiders. The local whites and blacks banned together and jumped on them and ran them out of town. This with a warning, we will solve our own problems.
