Seems like a good place to remember this:
330,000 WHITE UNION military knowingly went to their deaths to free the African American slaves during the Civil War, they FOLLOWED the directives and emancipation orders of their government, a government THEY ELECTED. I have never heard an establishment, professional, progressive/ African-American, or White Progressive ever ACKNOWLEDGE, much less “thank” these dead men for their sacrifices, nor recognize the 260,000 White Union military who were wounded and/or grievously disabled, nor the widows, nor the children, nor the families of the military who also suffered.
And that is why that fella trix Obama chose not to go to Gettysburg in July 2013 to note the sacrifices of just one place the men who died and were wounded there TO FREE the Africans enslaved in the USA.

You won’t either, until the marvelous stories on this post are told and retold.
We tell them, our ancestors and related families bled, died horrible deaths, or lived fore-shortened lives, to free their ancestors from slavery. At this point, with affirmative action and welfare and etc., they have only to suffer — just guessing — about one twentieth of one percent of what those brave men suffered, to go the rest of the way. Is that too much to ask? Are they going to ignore blood sacrifice made in their behalf? Of course if we let them.
If they are held back, they might thank O-ma for allowing millions of illegal immigrants to take the first rungs of the ladder away from them. If they care. Just saying.
