The horror, the horror.

Well that may be close to true, in the southern states.

Among many things - I just don't understand why they want to always display symbols of their failure?

And made them work for you for free, and whipped them for any reason and no reason.

You took away their names, and prohibited them from passing on their history through writing (teaching slaves to read and write was a crime).

And you're bleating about white history?

Shame...

Odd how honoring the Civil War & Enslavement is the only thing so many white people can think to idolize, especially in the South. I mean it's like honoring the Confederacy and it's legacy is the only thing about their ancestors that is worth remembering. If the first and really only thing you can think of about your ancestors is how they tore families apart, lynched, raped, and otherwise brutalized an entire race of people, even long after the Civil War ended, maybe it's time to admit that you are really just a racist and you deep down inside like what they did and wish you could go back to that time period.
