I don't call white people racist, I call whites who are racists racist. So are you saying all whites are racists Correll?
I am laughing at you. That's what I am saying.
YOu call white people racist without anything that any reasonable person would consider an actual reason.
You love doing that. You love calling white people vile names without just cause, while knowing that they are not allowed to respond in kind.
Hey, you ever talk to any white person like that in person?
Yes. And I called you a racist starting with your claim blacks should be grateful to whites for dying for us in the civil war. Now I can pile on, but that's all I really need to say.
Indeed. I recall that delusional bullshit. Anyone who is not too lazy can validate that the Civil War was fought to preserve the union.
And black people being set "free" was NOT the primary intent.
Otherwise, Jim Crow would not have immediately taken the place of slavery and remained in effect for the next 100 years. There is no debt of gratitude that is owned for something that should have never existed being abolished.
That is like saying a man who is wrongly imprisoned should be grateful to the same people who release him after finding out that he was actually innocen of commuting a crime.
1. Abe Lincoln was obviously being political when he said that.
2. Sure. Just a coincidence that the Civil War happened to break out after the election of a rabid anti-slaver.
3. JIm Crow was not slavery, but your inability to feel gratitude for people that died for you, is noted and held against you.
4. Your analogy is based on judging all white people as a single entity. That's racism.
You are obliged to hold whatever hurts your fragile little feelings against me. I don't care.
And no, I feel not a shred of gratitude for ANYONE who died in a war to salvage and preserve THEIR country long before my own parents were born.
Just like you don't feel any guilt for slavery, I don't owe anyone anything for it being ended.
It NEVER should have happened in the first place. And as far as "Jim Crow", No shit. It wasn't slavery....it sure as hell was not freedom as viewed by those who were not subjected to it.
You are entitled to romanticize Lincoln as a "rabid anti slavee if you wish.
Its your idealistic illusion. Not mine.
