I don't know. I knew I wouldn't get it so it was a wasted effort.
How about I demand that you immediately criticize Abraham Lincoln for his terrible racist beliefs and contempt for the U.S. Constitution?
I'm not the one criticizing President Lincoln and calling him racist and accusing him of abusing the Constitution while at the same time remaining silent on Jefferson Davis.
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.
I have not accused you of being racist. I don't know you well enough to make that decision. I'm accusing you of being a hypocrite. There's a difference.
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.
They still would have a higher standard of living than most people on this planet but that isn't a reason to bring it back. It was wrong. Human beings bought and sold like cattle to the benefit of others simply because of the color of their skin is an abomination. If you can't see that the moral repugnance of such an institution transcends simple economics then nothing I can say will change that. And respecting an individual while seeing nothing wrong with discriminating against them as a race is wrong, too, regardless of how it is suger-coated.
I'm much too weary to reply to all of your misrepresentations about me, however this one is beyond the pale. You put words in my mouth and predjudices in my mind. How dare you. I will not stoop to your level of name-calling and, furthermore, you should be called on the carpet for your assumptions. If your m. o. is to bash Southerners by parlaying the race card I would suggest that you take your debate to DU where such tactics are daily fare.
