NYT: "Tearing Down the Confederate Flag Is Just a Start "

[Contumacious]

Tearing Down the Confederate Flag Is Just a Start

“The Confederate battle flag was the emblem of Jim Crow defiance to the civil rights movement, of the Dixiecrat opposition to integration, and of the domestic terrorism of the Ku Klux Klan,” noted Russell Moore of the Southern Baptist Convention. “White Christians ought to think about what that flag says to our African-American brothers and sisters.”


Well, I concur, for different reasons.


Should white Southerners , rednecks and those who waived the confederate flags at one time , who speak with their distinct accent, be sent to concentration camps up north until they learn to speak with a Bostonian accent?

Are white Southerners culture an "emblem" of times gone by and should it be forcefully suppressed?

Should school textbooks be re-written to show that slavery and not oppressive taxation was the real reason for the War of Northern Aggression?


Points to ponder

So Political Correctness de joure is the new standard of what historical monuments will be allowed? I think we owe an appology to the Taliban and ISIS for condemning their destruction of archaeological relics that they found offensive.

Is the Cornerstone Speech left out of textbooks?

Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephens

Our new Government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition.

Both of these left wing rags has become nothing more but shit stirring American hating slimes

the Washingtoncompost has an article asking should the 188 schools with confederate names need to be changed.

more from the slimes trying to start shit.
Why Don’t the Poor Rise Up?
snippet:
Why are today’s working poor so quiescent? I’m not the only one posing this question.
“Why aren’t the poor storming the barricades?” asks The Economist. “Why don’t voters demand more redistribution?” wonders David Samuels, a political scientist at the University of Minnesota. The headline on an April 7 National Catholic Reporter article reads: “Why aren’t Americans doing more to protest inequality?”

people needs to shun these hate filled rags

Seriously?

Ever bother to read what South Carolina has to say about her reasons for secession, or were you content to take the brainwash the Daughters of the Confederacy rammed down your throat? Here it is, HISTORY - try it out for a change:

The General Government, as the common agent, passed laws to carry into effect these stipulations of the States. For many years these laws were executed. But an increasing hostility on the part of the non-slaveholding States to the institution of slavery, has led to a disregard of their obligations, and the laws of the General Government have ceased to effect the objects of the Constitution. es provided by her own law and by the laws of Congress. In the State of New York even the right of transit for a slave has been denied by her tribunals; and the States of Ohio and Iowa have refused to surrender to justice fugitives charged with murder, and with inciting servile insurrection in the State of Virginia. Thus the constituted compact has been deliberately broken and disregarded by the non-slaveholding States, and the consequence follows that South Carolina is released from her obligation.

THEY SECEDED BECAUSE NORTHERN STATES WOULD NO LONGER HELP THEM KEEP THEIR SLAVES

Taxation is only mentioned ONCE in the entire document, and NOT as a reason for secession.


Here's Texas:
DECLARATION OF CAUSES February 2 1861 A declaration of the causes which impel the State of Texas to secede from the Federal Union. TSLAC

taxation - NOT MENTIONED ONCE - slavery - mentioned all over the place.



Mississippi -
"Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery - the greatest material interest of the world"

Not ONE mention of taxation.

Mississippi Declaration of Secession


Here's Georgia's:

search for "slave" - 38 matches
search for "tax" - 0 matches

Georgia Declaration of Secession


Odd that Texas, South Carolina, Georgia, and Mississippi didn't get the memo - the war is about taxes, not slavery!

I honestly would much whether tear down the new York times. Fucking communist fags.

The documents of secession destroy every white revisionist argument for the Civil War.

Their own words destroy their lies.

What I would most desire,” Abraham Lincoln also declared, “would be the separation of the white and black races” (CW, Vol. II, p. 521). And, “I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races . . . . I am in favor of the race to which I belong, having the superior position” (CW, Vol. III, p. 16).

Here is where we are HEADED if these commies/Fascist have their way:
wake up. they think they've won something over this flag and they smell BLOOD (our RIGHTS) in the air

Seriously?

YEP, INDEED.



"The U.S. House of Representatives had passed the Morrill tariff in the 1859-1860 session, and the Senate passed it on March 2, 1861, two days before Lincoln’s inauguration. President James Buchanan, a Pennsylvanian who owed much of his own political success to Pennsylvania protectionists, signed it into law. The bill immediately raised the average tariff rate from about 15 percent (according to Frank Taussig in Tariff History of the United States) to 37.5 percent, but with a greatly expanded list of covered items. The tax burden would about triple. Soon thereafter, a second tariff increase would increase the average rate to 47.06 percent, Taussig writes.


So, Lincoln owed everything--his nomination and election--to Northern protectionists, especially the ones in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He was expected to be the enforcer of the Morrill tariff. Understanding all too well that the South Carolina tariff nullifiers had foiled the last attempt to impose a draconian protectionist tariff on the nation by voting in political convention not to collect the 1828 "Tariff of Abominations," Lincoln literally promised in his first inaugural address a military invasion if the new, tripled tariff rate was not collected."

All of this is going to promote a backlash like people have never seen.
Either that or it will be over after the next 24 hour news cycle.

No... merely East Coast Hyper-Liberal mouthpieces... as useless as tits on a bull, or a screen-door on a submarine.

 

[Kondor3]

The South seceded because they figured that Lincoln would work to destroy Slavery during his term in office.

The North decided to make a fight of it because they had a vision of perpetual Union which the South no longer shared.

Only later, did the North adopt an End to Slavery as one of its rally-cries, even though the North already had a fairly strong Abolitionist sentiment.

Union first, Slavery a weak second.

Truth be told, a lot of Northerners didn't give a rat's ass for the plight of Blacks in the South, and Abolition would have been a tough sell, early in the war.

Which is one of the primary reasons why Lincoln shied away from any form of Emancipation or substantive public references to Slavery for the first year or two, once the shooting had started.

 

[LoneLaugher]

There seem to be a lot of institutions and organizations which are voluntarily dropping this dopey flag. That's the way it's supposed to work.

Well, I'm not sure I'd call it 'voluntary' - more like media-driven lightweight coercion - but it's true that a fair number of folks have reached the conclusion that sustaining it is becoming more trouble than it's worth.
