They could demand that everyone descended from a slaveholder leave the country. Of course that would include a large part of the black population, so they would have to make an exception for anyone with African ancestry (unless they have been passing for white).
My wording was careful, I wrote “roots” in slavery. I was being sarcastically racist.
There was one Antifa snowflake wannabe gave me a real dirty look and started looking around for other Antifa Snowflake wannabee’s to gang up on me.
OK, Boomer.
Not our history. Our history as Republicans is freeing the slaves. The Confederacy is Democrat history.
The only tie the modern South has to the Conferderacy is that it occupies the land the Confederacy once dirtied. That no more ties Southerners to the Conferderacy then it ties Germans and Japanese to the evil regimes that once occupied their land. If the Conferderacy is your history, it's by your choice and nothing more.
It is the history of these United States of America.
I can agree with that, and we should remember it in the same way the Germans remember the holocaust, with mourning and resolve to never let it happen again. They don’t remember it by celebrating Hitler’s birthday.
