Pre-Civil war attitudes weren’t about to disappear overnight, but today’s America has become an amazingly tolerant society. Far more tolerant than even when I was a kid. Wanna experience racism at its worst? Go to S. Africa. Or visit a Black Hebrew congregation.

B.S. Freed blacks weren’t widely welcomed in the north either. Blacks had to take lower wages to get a job but the people resented them taking “their” jobs.

Someone needs to continuously post a Picture of Carter and Clinton next to a Confederate Flag.

Now your northern n*****’s a negro
You see he’s got his dignity
Down here we’re too ignorant to realize
That the North has set the n***** free

Yes he’s free to be put in a cage
In Harlem in New York City
And he’s free to be put in a cage
On the South Side of Chicago
And the West Side
And he’s free to be put in a cage
In Hough in Cleveland
And he’s free to be put in a cage
In East St. Louis
And he’s free to be put in a cage
In Fillmore in San Francisco
And he’s free to be put in a cage
In Roxbury in Boston
They’re gatherin’ ‘em up from miles around
Keepin’ the n*****s down

We’re rednecks, we’re rednecks
We don’t know our a**
From a hole in the ground
We’re rednecks, we’re rednecks
We’re keeping the n*****s down
We are keeping the n*****s down

-Randy Newman

That may be so, but now, if that even still exists, it is being compounded by certain elements of the Black community itself. Call them Amish, ferals, “teens”, whatever, they’re creating their own racial division by making Whites sick and tired of them. And all the innocent Blacks in these areas are caught up in the destruction, rioting, looting, “Whitelash”*, “food deserts”, etc.

Dear upstanding Blacks in these plagued communities: SSSU.

*To the extent that exists in any significance yet.

Are the democrats still fighting that war? It is June of 2023 and I could have sworn an agreement was reached quite some time ago so that the war could end.

“So Democrats were and still are bad”

Yes. And they are still bad news for Black people. Take for example a black thug released by a liberal Democrat judge. Where does he go? Back to a black neighborhood where he does violence to black people.

Consider riots incited by the liberal/Democrat press and Democrat politicians. Where do they happen? Martha’s Vineyard? Where the people of Martha’s Vineyard go to shop, or work? Of course not. That would be wrong. It would hurt land prices and the quality of living in Martha’s Vineyard.

No. All the damage is localized to black neighborhoods, setting them back by decades.

The West was the MOST tolerant, there were black lawmen, and 25 percent of all Cowboys were black. There is still a black Cowboy Culure today. We need more of that.

Conveniently timed for democrat states, that never had slaves, to promise “reparations.”

Who’s paying for this crap?

Constant non-stop, in-your-face accusations about how bad white, male, heterosexual Christians are makes people racists, homophobes, misogynists, transphobes, xenophobes and more.

Yes, because in 1866, as they spread throughout the old west, people from the North were renown for the way the saw blacks as brothers in Christ, had them over for dinner, they socialized, dated, and never engaged in racism. That’s how people from the northern states were back then.

Nice fairy tale.

Virtually anything reported or associated with NBC news is propaganda.

‘Why post this?’

but what do I know...?

How nice, an article from our global corporate elites at NBC. Wonder why they would publish this?

Two Ivy League schools, Yale and Brown, are named for men who made their fortunes in the Rhode Island and Connecticut slave trade. They were the original benefactors of those schools.

This constant virtue signaling, at the expense of the Confederate States, is beyond tiresome. The northern states embraced slavery, until they had no further economic incentive.

Unfortunately, the “negro” turned on the Republicans for the free stuff they could get from the FAR LEFT Dung Beetle Party Turd Rollers.
