how do you suppose the African-Americans felt about white people (especially the KLAN-idiots!) wildly waving US FLAGS and BURNING CROSSES to protest integration of "schools, buses & lunch counters".

ever since the turn of the 20th century, the MAIN symbols of the KKK have been the CROSS & the Stars & Stripes.

in point of fact, at the last KLAN demonstration in Washington, DC, there was NOT even (thankfully) ONE CSA flag BUT there were THOUSANDS of US flags waving.

face it, "mac" you are 100% WRONG about our CSA battleflag AND you've been LIED TO & MADE A FOOL OF on that subject, by the HATE-filled, REVISIONIST, sanctimonious, FOOLS on the LEFT.

I can find a black man - an EX SLAVE - that shared that sentiment.

Not the point. The point is whether stand watie thinks such statements are "SELF-congratulatory, sanctamonious (sic), RUBBISH."

Even when they come from Robert E. Lee.

it SOUNDS like the SELF-righteous NONSENSE

In this case it was spouted by that paragon of southern virtue, Robert E. Lee.

spewed out by the PUBLISHER of the "THE LIBERATOR", who CLAIMED to be an "abolitionist", while being "up to his ears" IN the slave trade.

Uh huh. Right. I don't suppose you're able to present the slightest bit of proof of this, are you? Or is another one that we're supposed to just swallow whole because you say so?

You just can't accept the idea that someone could possibly be anti-slavery out of a true moral concern, can you? Your heart and your mind are so twisted against anything that might cast the south into a bad light that all you can do is spout incredible lies to try to discredit them. Next youl'll probably tell us that John Brown was the biggest slaveowner in New England and Harriet Beecher Stowe personally captained slave ships. It's hard to decide if you know what you're doing and are morally responsible for your lies, or if it's some sort of pathology that you should get treatment for.

Who said anything about the Klan?

White opposition to desegregation in the South was widespread, angrily vocal, and fully supported by their local and state governments. The CBF was their symbol, and they were affiliated with the Democrat party.

Please tell me you're not ignorant of these facts...

NOPE. but FACTS (especially when they make NORTHERNERS/DAMNyankees look like the HYPOCRITES/bigots/HATERS, that they frequently were/ARE,) are just NOT what you want to hear, are they???

fwiw, the POSITIVE PROOF of what i said has been previously posted by "Nolo Chan". (btw, he got banned for posting lincoln's OWN words, which he quoted verbatim!)

"please tell me" that you're NOT trying to change the SUBJECT away from your UNreasoning HATRED of our bloodstained CBF and "that you're not ignorant of these facts".

in point of fact, "the symbols of segregation" BOTH in the NORTH & SOUTH were mostly the US FLAG & the CROSS.

btw, when are you northerners going to DESEGREGATE your public schools????

should we southerners send FREEDOM RIDERS to help you with that (evidently DIFFICULT for you) task??? after all it's ONLY been about 1/2 a CENTURY since the south was DEsegregated!

From everything I can see, your relationship with facts is tenuous at best. If you have evidence of what you say, present it. Other people on these threads seem capable of doing so. Why are you so consistently incapable of it? Your excuse that you don't have time doesn't ring true. Your posting history shows that. Now, if you can show some independent proof the William Lloyd Garrison was "up to his ears in the slave trade," I'd be interested to see it.

fwiw, the POSITIVE PROOF of what i said has been previously posted by "Nolo Chan".

You appear to have a track record of saying things, then, when questioned on them, pointing to someone else and saying "He said it." If that person's not around, so much the better for you, huh?

Actually southern schools are resegregating.

NOPE. i simply do NOT have time to go do a bunch of research for ANYBODY (least of all for a DY!) for you then to say: "That's not a good source". (as has happened NUMEROUS times before-that's why i stopped doing research!)

"Nolo Chan" was THE EXPERT on these threads & the DAMNyankee HATERS constantly complained about the fact that he made the unionists of the north look BAD,hate-FILLED,prejudiced & STUPID and finally got "NC" banned for posting his WELL-researched, incontrovertible, FACTS.

fyi, it's called on FR: "assigning homework".

constant requests/DEMANDS for PROOF happens because the DAMNyankee minority on FR HATES the TRUTH & the southland, as the TRUTH makes it clear that the war against the new dixie republic was SOLEY the fault of the "HATE-filled,clay-footed, secular saint of DAMNyankeeland, DIShonest abe of IL" and his merry band of scoundrels, thugs & thieves

perhaps so, but the north NEVER DESEGREGATED, as the average northerner wanted to LOOK liberal "on civil rights", but didn't want "THEIR precious white child" to have to sit next to someone with a dark skin or different ethnic group (like ME for example!)

don't try to convince me how "liberal on civil rights" the north is. i've been stationed in the army in MD,NY,PA & WI. in MY experience, the north, on the whole, is both less accepting of "difference" and MORE PREJUDICED by far than ANY state in dixie was/IS.

also,the north CURRENTLY has some of the MOST vicious racists & anti-Semites in all of the USA.

Any source is better than none at all.

Or maybe we just don't believe that you're telling the truth, since you're apparently unable or unwilling to provide even a scrap of evidence for what you say.

fyi, it's called on FR: "assigning homework".

And kids who refuse to do their homework flunk the class.

The difference, as I'm sure you know, is that in the north, school segregation was never an actual law, as it was in the south. That said, there are plenty of racists everywhere and no region has a monopoly on virtue.

"any source is better than none at all" ====>LOL. the "sources" for MOST of the LIES, PREJUDICED nonsense & BILGE (quoted by the "unionist forces" on FR) don't exist OR have NOTHING to do with the subject. so you, AGAIN, are 100% WRONG about this too.

in other words, you think "de facto" segregation is somehow BETTER than "de jure" segregation????

in point of FACT, the NORTH has NEVER desegregated their schools.

the city of BOSTON has more segregated schools NOW than AL,GA,LA & MS COMBINED, as i write these lines!

care for a "do over", Bubba???

So I should just ignore everything else and listen to what you say, huh? Because you're the grandmaster of all information, the man with all the answers. The font of all truth. Yeah, right. How did you manage to get a college degree (assuming I believe that one--you certainly don't show any signs of more than an 8th grade education) with that sort of attitude toward research?

Well, yeah. I do. Using the power of the state to support racism, using law enforcement, jails, and so on is much worse than white parents moving to the suburbs to escape integrated schools. Maybe the effect on the minority students is the same, but it's the use of government power that's more pernicious and threatening to American soclety in general. You can't legislate people to love their brother, but government shouldn't be in the business of explicitly empowering that attitude.

Nope. I'm good.

well, you'd be better off to listen to me than the HATE-filled, ARROGANT, leftist, REVISIONISTS that "run things" in academia today.

at least i'm HONEST & when incorrect, at least i'm HONESTLY wrong. (that is a GREAT deal more than i can say for the evasions, lies & bilge "passed out" here on FR by the "DAMnyankee coven of lunatics,LEFTISTS, bigots,REVISIONISTS, nitwits & FOOLS".)

fyi, as to college degrees, i have four (4). how many do you have??? (ever written a dissertation???)

fyi, i tend to write to suit ME & nobody else. if that doesn't please you, just "scroll on by". my heart will not be broken.

as for my "attitude toward research", i despise DOING it, but at least i know HOW to do research & what i post is neither "made up out of whole cloth", "quoted out of context" and /or "knowingly FALSE", as MOST of the BILGE "quoted/sourced by" the DYs is. (fwiw, one of the MAIN liars on FR did "lots of research", but when you check his sources you will find that he LIED about and/or was TOO DUMB to understand what he read. that's why i "shunned him". for example he was either too IGNORANT or DISHONEST to admit that a book on "privateering during WW2" existed OR was so DUMB that he couldn't tell the difference in a BOOK REVIEW & THE BOOK, itself!)

just my opinion.
