Confederate groups honor black soldiers

there were at least 100,000 blacks, about 50,000 indians (my ancestor was one of them) & about 40,000 latinos (mostly Mexican or Cuban nationality)that served the CSA.

Oh yeah? Well there were at least 500,000 blacks, 200,000 Indains, 310,000 Latinos, 110,000 Chinese, 78,000 Japanese, 29,930 Koreans, 11,310 Eskimos, and 1 native Hawaiian islander in the Union army.

"Its time heros on both sides be recognized for their sacrifices for their country however they defined that term."

Well said. And so was this:

"Today is a day of unification," said William Daniel Holland, 33, of Atlanta."

BRAVO to both statements, and to the soldiers who died for this country.

i can't tell where you are (twilight zone or wherever), but i fear you perfectly fit the term of scalawag. if so i am sad for/about you.

no decent son of the southland should feel as you do, imVho.

honoring our sacred battleflag as a symbol of our heritage, ancestors & separate culture is no more blasphemy than honoring a representation of the cross at a church. surely nobody thinks that our Savior hung on every cross, at every place of worship in the country!

and IF you are a scalawag, i.e. not on the side of the true southrons, then i'll have no more to say to you, except: go in peace.

Excuse me, but Christ died on the Cross (which was the first step in securing Salvation for the believer), and your analogy of a flag to the Cross is blasphemous.

Scalawag? Ummm... You have to be white to be one, I believe. If I'm white, I'm the darkest white man on earth. Also, Reconstruction was in the late 19th century. I wasn't born until 1971.

The lights are on, but nobody's home. You need some help. Seriously. You're not well.

The elevator isn't going all the way up to the top in your brain.

scalawags come in both genders,various ages, all religions & all colors. pardon me, but i think your "publick screwl edumacation" is showing.

what scalawgs all have in common is their hateful blindness to the TRUTH about the south's struggle for independence AND their adherence to the hatefilled, arrogant, ignorant, anti-semitic, all too often racist, self-righteous, imperialist, damnyankee cause.

we loyal southrons, especially from the "old rebel families", regard their stance as collaboration with the enemy.

FYI, i'm NOT white either.

Here your assumption is false. I didn't graduate high school in a public school system. But thanx anyway.

You need 911 to come and sweep you away to the emergency room.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?!?

it is seemingly always true that damnfools/damnyankees/scalawags ALWAYS try ridicule and/or "ad hominum" attacks to try and hurt others. you seem to fit at least two of those groups.

you might also look under "dunce" in the dictionary;i think you'll find your likeness there.
