This is also totally ignoring what the civil war was fought over. Slavery was a non issue and was brought up because Lincoln freed all of the southern slaves. The northern slaves, nah frick them, but this other country we are at war with, yeah let's free their slaves.
It is sad that kids these days are being taught in school that the civil war was about slavery, when in reality it could not be any farther from the truth.
Your wrong brah and I'm as conservative as the next guy. The CW was about preserving the way of life of the Elites in the. They had to protect their money which was from cotton. You can't make a profit off cotton without cheap labor. That's why they had to fight to keep their way of life. What sucks is that during the was Cotton blew up in India and Egypt and killed the profit margins of the South anyway during the war.

Same ole, same ole. Spending too much time doing what I want to do and not enough time doing what I need to do.

No shite slavery isn't racist. People have been owning people since the beginning of time and just because there was a brief moment of history where one small group of a race were predominately owned by a second small group of one race does equate slavery to being racist.

frick them. I don't have respect for people who tried to kill my grandfather. If the entire country didn't decided to put an actual sociopath in charge they wouldn't have to defend their homeland from anything.

Patton
They have done studies to figure out why people would do such harmful and destructive things like hurt another person or human being and even when people feel or know it's wrong they still do the act as instructed. People are fricking weird. Basically most humans would have done the same thing given the circumstances. Hitler was an extremely cunning and powerful speaker and had the ability to whip a crowd into a frenzy.

I believe that post is the exact moment where this thread jumped the shark

All conversation stopped at that point

Literally every claim within it is the opposite of true. It's pretty impressive

Racism is treating people of a different race inferiorly on the mere fact of their race.

You can't always tie racism to slavery. Slavery exists in many forms and can be tied more to profit than anything.

quote:i mean, kinda. we can all argue what it really stands for in the south but the fact of the matter is the majority of people in this country equate it to slavery. it is what it is
1. The confederate flag
quote:no
2. Being frustrated when learning about the civil war because the south lost.
quote:no
3. Believing Robert E Lee to be a hero.
quote:no
4. Being proud of ancestors who fought for the south.

You can't always tie racism to slavery.

1 and 2 are yes/no
3 and 4 are no.
If you like the confederate flag purely because you love the south, then no, but if you like it because you think it stands for racism, then yes.
I do not get why people would be frustrated the south lost??
It doesn't have to be an american to be considered a war hero.
You should be proud of any family who served in any conflict. Many people are against Vietnam, would they not be proud if their kin served?
3 and 4 are no.
