I've yet to hear one word of criticizm from you about Jefferson Davis, his terrible racist beliefs and his contempt for the confederate constiutition. Let's hear it.
Where do you get off demanding a statement from me? How about I demand that you immediately criticize Abraham Lincoln for his terrible racist beliefs and contempt for the U.S. Constitution? Let's here it. You have not heard one word from me that would indicate I have a racist bone in my body yet you imply that by your cheap shot. Stick to your obsessive cutting and pasting. I grew up with, played ball with, fought against, fought alongside, worked for, managed, went to weddings of and funerals of descendents of slaves all my life. Some were the finest people I knew. Others were much like you: obsessed.
Slavery is an abhorrent institution but in the 1800's was widely practiced all over the world. Dinesh D'Souza made the case that the Southern slave had a higher standard of living than the majority of people on the planet at the time.
My parents and grandparents are dying off. This was a generation of Southerners who still used black servants in the household. In some cases that would be a cleaning woman coming in once a week, in other cases it would be a full time housekeeper who had equal leeway in raising the children. There was a mutual respect that I recognized from the time I was a small child. Granted that generation did not bend over backwards to bring about the civil rights era, etc. and that was their failing. But they remembered their servants in their wills, helped send their kids to school, made sure they had good cars to drive, etc.
So stick to what you know and let alone that which you don't. On second thought: just stick a fork in it.
