Even in the United States, there were thousands of black slaveowners, and in Africa many more.

Shhhh, Thomas!! It's a ploy, I tell you, a ploy!! Like the good Dr. Williams writing on the historical fact of Black Confederates, along with many other authors attesting to the authenticity of said brave gentlemen

then we can rip down Confederate monuments and the signs off schools named after prominent traitors all over the South

Chancey, you're more than welcome to come down here. Why don't you start in Fort Mill SC? You know, the monument dedicated to the loyal slaves who stayed behind to protect the women and children, and the even braver freed black men who fought side by side against a tyrant. Or the monument to the brave servant in Canton, MS. Come on down and ignore the names of Sam Anderson, Charles Dempsey, Willis Dove, Pvt. Everett Hayes, Will Linch and Frank Hunter, just a few of the brave black men from NC who fought defending their state first and their nation.

Come on, Chancey, you're more than welcome

Look, Sowell has been marginalizing himself over the years, and has increasingly pandered to the only group that continues to pay money to buy books telling them things that they already believe.

And I can say that, because I've bought a bunch of his stuff in the past and read it - but the fact is that he makes his living catering to fear, and writes his material with his customers in mind.

As to me coming down South, I'll be along the SC coast the week after next - so yes, when not sailing, I'll probably find some history to tour.

Please don't encourage him! It's annoying enough to put up with all those left wing banshee dykes from northeastern college campuses that the DNC busses down here every time one of their precious congressmen or senators has a tough reelection.

I swear, every last one of them thinks they are on another "freedom ride" to save Max Cleland/Mary Landrieu/Fritz Hollings/(insert southern democrat name of choice here) from evil backwoods white male republican confederate gun owning Christians. And from what he posts around here, Chance buys into that kind of stuff whole heartedly!

He must not realize, that it is OUR side that does honor the rebel and the slave. Equally. Regardless of socio-economic status, skin colour etc" - we honour ALL that served the Confederacy. Whether they were soldiers, cooks, blacksmiths, scouts, officers or enlisted, or even those that remained home - faithfully protecting their families, both black and white, in the absence of their fighting men.
We honour our own.
