Apparently there were more southerners, black and white, in the Union army than there were in the confederate army. It's hard for some to realize that, but many also tend to forget that black southerners are just as much southern as white southerners. Regardless of numbers, it took a lot of conviction and effort for southerners to join the Union army as opposed to the many thousand of reluctant conscripts and later enthusiastic deserters forced into the reb army.

If you are trying to imply by this that the South, and South Carolina in particular, is liberal, then your credibility truly has gone out the window. But then I think most of your posts are for effect anyway. ;>)

To appreciate basketball it's necessary to look beyond superficials. Not every NBA player looks like Allen Iverson. And beyond the streetball facade, there is still some real basketball players like Tim Duncan, Lebron James and Dewayne Wade. And for sustained drama, there's still nothing that beats the NCAA tournament.

In that Sherman helped bring the carnage to an end, he did more for SC than the silly secessionists who started the conflict. As such, he does deseve a statue in Columbia.
Starting with Calhoun, no 19th century group was more out of touch with reality than the SC elite. Too bad for them they couldn't fight a war as well as they could make a sneak attack on an unsuspecting senator.

Seminole Nation in Florida endorsed FSU, that's why Chief gets to stay I guess. I think it's more the fact that FSU is a Division I football powerhouse and generates a lot of TV revenue that caused the NCAA to back off rather than anything the Seminole Nation had to say. Money, after all, talks. And as another poster pointed out small schools seem to still have to fight.

when you are DISHONEST, there are frequently "consequences" for LYING. Seems to me that the consequences mostly fell on y'all.

Its political correctness. If they don't like the South, no one is forcing the NCAA to hold its games there. The Confederate flag is now simply code for the failure of the South to adopt Yankee liberal culture. The enemy will not be satisfied until Dixie surrenders again and I do not mean relegating a Civil War Era flag to a museum. That's not why liberals keeping making an issue over something almost no one cares about.

You know I'm no fan of the CSA, but the NAACP is often too unyielding and too broad in its rhetoric in this matter. It would not dilute the NAACP's legitimate concerns one bit to behave as if the other side needed persuading and not browbeating.

If you are trying to imply by this that the South, and South Carolina in particular, is liberal, then your credibility truly has gone out the window. In general, there's a lot of great things about the people of the South. But the CSA and the segregation regimes are not among the positives about Dixie. The CSA is not the South-not even in the 1860s.

i FEAR you are 100% correct about that. NOBODY at the networks care anything about anything but $$$$$$$$$$. certainly NOT what Indians think/want.
see, you CAN post TRUTHFUL things, when you're not trying to defend the INdefensible horrors visited on the south's civilians & helpless POWs, by the "filth that flowed down from the north"!

it's NOT the NAACP any more, it's now the naaLcp.
CONSERVATIVES of ANY skin-tone are NOT welcome.
the naaLcp is nothing more or less than a party organ for the LUNATIC fringe of the DIMocRATS party.
i USED to be a member of the NAACP, before they threw us "right wing,pro-gun,pro-life,Indians" out. Indians are just too traditional, family-oriented & CONSERVATIVE as a group to be DIMocRATS and/or to please the LEFTISTS that run the naaLcp!

To: stainlessbanner
actually, i suspect it's ONLY about TV revenue.
the DYs who run the networks don't care a damn about what the Seminole Nation wants/thinks/believes. it's JUST about $$$$$$$$$$$$.
haven't you ever noticed that ANYTHING is A-OK with the mainSLIME media, if it sells soap/beer/cars/etc.???
may i remind you/all that the Bible says that : THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL!

Funny, the new tactic of the Southern haters on FR is to claim "they love the South" and "they are Southern" to gain credibility.
That's like the liberals claiming they are strong on defense or they support Christianity. It's just lip service. Easy to see through that charade, but it will hook some folks.

the SLAUGHTER of MY family was BOTH INdefensible & a HORROR story. it was/is NO myth.
rather it was ONE of MANY atrocities (committed by your "crusaders in blue"), which are called CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY by the internationally-recognised Law of War.
i've offered numerous times to take you to see the lines of tombstones. each one says: MURDERED BY YANKEES.
sadly, i must tell you that our family is FAR from unique. such slaughters of "persons of colour", Jews,Asians, Roman Catholics, Latinos & "the poorest of the poor whites" was COMMONPLACE.

Sometimes I think there's a lot of envy of southerners. Maybe that's why we keep being invaded by people who formerly lived in the north.Yes, my friend. These ppl keep cursin' their daddies 'cause they ain't born in the South. We have a great lineage of statesmen and warriors, free-thinkers, strong women, and independent patriots to be proud of.
The big government fools 'round here want to focus on slavery, but friend, the South is about family, church, good humor, fried chicken, and sweet tea. I can tell you a million things I love about the South, let those other people focus on one or two bad things. Their loss.
To: stainlessbanner
TRUE. actually, i despise LEFTIST, southern-born, SCALAWAGS more than i despise the 10-15% of northerners, who are DAMNyankees.
the SCALAWAGS are turncoats to their family, their state & the southland.
