LOL! Confederates? Yeah, because racism certainly wasn’t the norm both in America and worldwide at that time. LOLOLOL!!!!

I’m amazed at how many here pile on the south every time one of these threads comes up. They buy right in to the commie swill.
A lot of this is true. But we should remember what Clarence Thomas once said. His father (or grandfather?) never saw himself as a victim. That's the best way to go. You could say the same with the Jews.
The Northern states had the “Black Codes” on the books in their states which the Jim Crow laws were modelled on.
The campaign of genocide against the Plains Indians - by the same triumvirate of Union Generals who were at the top at the end of the war between the states happened after that war.
California passed the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882.
I love the way they try to pretend racism was or is a Southern thing though. Hilarious!
It’s sickening and I am a Yankee. But I seriously believe my heart is from the south.
Oh, so there was no racism in the North and Northwest, eh?
Has it ever occurred to these virtue-signaling, secular socialist northeasterners, that the history books about the mid 19th century, were written by the Randi Weingartens of that era ?
There never should have been an invasion of the South. It paved the way for all of the failed colonial incursions by the U.S. that followed.
There's a cultural inferiority complex and a vast reservoir of jealousy just under the surface.
Aside from a relative handful of slaves who ran away and took the "underground railroad" to freedom, negro slaves in the United States DID NOT free themselves. Freedom was handed to them on a silver platter, paid for by the blood and sacrifice of White people who got essentially nothing in return. Consider what is celebrated on June 19. Worse, the so-called "civil rights" movement was not about earning anything on merit ... from the beginning it was "gimmedat or we'll riot". There were heavy socialist/communist influences on the "black community" from the late 1800s. WEB DuBois was a prime exemplar of that.
All of this has poisoned the "black community" from 1865 to the present day.
Or be a paleface in an inner city high school.
Or even worse, go to Kosovo, walk up to a local, and say "Hi! How do you do?" in Serbian. If the local is an Albanian, those could be your last words. And you will get the same result if you say it in Albanian and the stranger is a Serb.
Thanks for posting hateful, leftist propaganda without comment.
I don't see our black neighbors lining up for a return to their ancestors' native lands. So it ain't so bad here!
By all means let’s talk about the racism issue…FROM 160 YEARS AGO.
Ignore the modern types because they don’t fit the narrative.
You beat me to it a true fact
The old "Don't get mad, get even" philosophy?
The dims and their media believe that we are still living in the 1920’s. But they leave out the part about the Klan was in full strength and populated by democrats. And all of the Southern politicians were democrats.
I am more concerned with Democrats trying to make everyone hate white people.
