Mississippi Governor Declares April as Confederate Heritage Month

Every confederate civil war group I follow on Facebook pays respect to blacks like I never seen before. They honor black soldiers men and women. It’s the complete opposite of how democrats talk about southern confederates

How in the hell do you pay respect to someone you enslaved, raped, maimed, dehumanized and murdered. It would be like saying Nazis pay respect to Jewish folks who suffered in the Holocaust.
Well when you stop lying about history, then you can understand..

The liar is you Trump Humper, I guess next you are going to tell us that the Confederacy treated their slaves great.
There was once a thread on here and some right wing lunatic claimed black people should be thanking white people for slavery.
I kid you not.

Each and every negro in the USA whose ancestors were brought here as slaves should get down on his/her knees and give thanks each and every day for that fortuitous event. Otherwise, they would still be in the steaming, fetid jungles of Africa, dying of malaria, Ebola, AIDS, malnutrition and countless other maladies, subsisting on bushmeat and grass soup.

Got it?

Racist like you need to move to Siberia, where it's lily white and no black folks.

Racists such as you need to move to Burkina Faso, where it's coal black and no white folks.

Got it?

I am not spreading racist bullshit like you and the fools giving you the likes.

If you are a liberal, you are a racist, through and through.

That's Psychology 101, which you obviously bypassed, probably due to the fact you were shooting up heroin in the bathroom during that class.

Let me know when you have something other than that bullshit racist propaganda.

Mirabeau deals in FACTS.

The FACT that you do not recognize that indicates that you possess a low IQ or are a victim of a ghetto "education." Actually, both are probably true.

The only FACT you deal in, is the FACT that you are a racist POS.

Ahh . . . yes. When one cannot engage in learned debate with Mirabeau, the only recourse is to hurriedly retreat to the old, mildewed, tattered, Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton/Maxine Waters playbook, and call the learned, erudite Mirabeau a "racist."

Does that make you proud?

(Watch this, folks!)

Learned debate, you're spewing racist bullshit. Why would any black person be happy about the torture, raping, brutalization and murder that our ancestors had to endure. Your whole premise is asinine.
Would you rather be getting raped by an elephant? Hello?

You didn't mind getting raped by a Jackass.

I can’t tell if you have a mental disorder but your want to be not treated equal is only going to bring you more hardship, so thinking you deserve special treatment.
 
Which day will be lynching day?


Lynching and the Confederacy are two distinct historical events. Obviously you can honor one, without honoring the other.

D'uh.

No you can't, because they are one and the same. Who made up the Confederacy? The same racist who raping, maiming, beating and murdering black folks. Duh.


Wow. That is completely ignorant of you.


The Confederacy was a regional (the south) government of states that rebelled against the National government.

Lynching was mob attacks on people for various reasons from informal law enforcement to racial terrorism, that was found though out the nation as as whole, not limited to the South.

TO say they are the same thing is just a... oh, right.


You are lying. Sorry, and I'm the guy that started the thread the Lesson of Charlottessville.


Yeah, your lie is dismissed.

My point stands.


Lynching and the Confederacy are two distinct historical events. Obviously you can honor one, without honoring the other.

D'uh.

What people made up the Confederacy? People that had just come over from Europe.


No, they weren't.


There is nothing wrong with Southern's having some regional pride. It was over 150 years ago, why do you care?

What is the pride in owner another human being, what pride do you take in treating another human as less than human, what is the pride in inventing the KKK and before you start whining about they weren't Southern that's bullshit.


I've never heard or seen any Southern who celebrate his regional pride, by mentioning any of those things.


You ever hear this song? Not one mention of slavery or the Klan. Funny how they seem to pick and choose. Like everyone else does. And you are living in a fantasy land.



Speaking of picking and choosing, all those things are a LARGE part of their history. So what part of Southern history should black folks celebrate since we were a huge part of that history.


You should celebrate the slave markets, without which the vast majority of negroes would never have made it to the New World.

NEXT QUESTION!

Looks like we got us a new racist troll



Said the man that can't tell the truth about the word "not".

FUck off. You liar.

Was it? Most whites were not of the Plantation Class. Most of the people fighting were not fighting FOR slavery, but because of other reasons, such as nationalism, or that a fucking ARMY was rolling into their country.


Rolling into their country, this was the United States of America Jack.

You ever live in the South?

Born and raised, how about you?

So what part of Southern history should black folks celebrate since we were a huge part of that history.

Whatever parts they want.

So you don't have a damn clue.

I've heard blacks talk fondly of the South, in a number of ways from the cuisine to the strong family structure, to the beauty of the land to the music to the ole time religion.

Of course you have, hell we grew up in the South and had to make some joy out of it. Have you ever lived where you couldn't go into a bathroom, couldn't go into certain stores or restaurants, couldn't go down town and sit on a park bench. Tell me have you ever lived in segregation.

When I visited the Birthplace of Robert E. Lee, they have local black actors and actresses telling tales of surviving slavery. A subject that they managed to avoid be boring on, very impressive.

So that just made your day, they were telling the sick story of slavery not celebrating it. Smfh.

Because you come off as black, maybe you are. And you think you should be treated differently because of slavery, we should ignore facts, and just agree with your version, you want us to believe in your stories of racism when after investigated turned out false.. you change the narrative of slavery, to fit your life.

1. A distinction I am sure was great comfort for the people's who's families where in the path of that Army. NOT. My point stands. They were not fighting FOR slavery.

2. Yes. The whites there were very nice and have a distinct culture, that they were rightfully proud of and I never heard any of them citing past oppression of blacks as the reason.

3. THe bit where you say I don't have a clue, right before the long list I gave? That was stupid and dishonest of you.

4. They are rightfully proud of their heritage and culture. Your hate is blinding you.

5. Segregation was a long time ago. That fight was won a long time ago. The nation and the people have changed. YOu are living in the past.

6. They were celebrating their people's history. Your denial of that is not good.

You have been stupid and dishonest about the South since you started running that DS.

Why would black folks be proud of the past of the South.

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China dumbass.
 
Every confederate civil war group I follow on Facebook pays respect to blacks like I never seen before. They honor black soldiers men and women. It’s the complete opposite of how democrats talk about southern confederates

How in the hell do you pay respect to someone you enslaved, raped, maimed, dehumanized and murdered. It would be like saying Nazis pay respect to Jewish folks who suffered in the Holocaust.
Well when you stop lying about history, then you can understand..

The liar is you Trump Humper, I guess next you are going to tell us that the Confederacy treated their slaves great.
There was once a thread on here and some right wing lunatic claimed black people should be thanking white people for slavery.
I kid you not.

Each and every negro in the USA whose ancestors were brought here as slaves should get down on his/her knees and give thanks each and every day for that fortuitous event. Otherwise, they would still be in the steaming, fetid jungles of Africa, dying of malaria, Ebola, AIDS, malnutrition and countless other maladies, subsisting on bushmeat and grass soup.

Got it?

Racist like you need to move to Siberia, where it's lily white and no black folks.

Racists such as you need to move to Burkina Faso, where it's coal black and no white folks.

Got it?

I am not spreading racist bullshit like you and the fools giving you the likes.

If you are a liberal, you are a racist, through and through.

That's Psychology 101, which you obviously bypassed, probably due to the fact you were shooting up heroin in the bathroom during that class.

Let me know when you have something other than that bullshit racist propaganda.

Mirabeau deals in FACTS.

The FACT that you do not recognize that indicates that you possess a low IQ or are a victim of a ghetto "education." Actually, both are probably true.

The only FACT you deal in, is the FACT that you are a racist POS.

Ahh . . . yes. When one cannot engage in learned debate with Mirabeau, the only recourse is to hurriedly retreat to the old, mildewed, tattered, Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton/Maxine Waters playbook, and call the learned, erudite Mirabeau a "racist."

Does that make you proud?

(Watch this, folks!)

Learned debate, you're spewing racist bullshit. Why would any black person be happy about the torture, raping, brutalization and murder that our ancestors had to endure. Your whole premise is asinine.
Would you rather be getting raped by an elephant? Hello?

You didn't mind getting raped by a Jackass.
I can’t tell if you have a mental disorder but your want to be not treated equal is only going to bring you more hardship, so thinking you deserve special treatment.

Idiot what special treatment have I asked for.
Because you come off as black, maybe you are. And you think you should be treated differently because of slavery, we should ignore facts, and just agree with your version, you want us to believe in your stories of racism when after investigated turned out false.. you change the narrative of slavery, to fit your life.

The only asshole around here that thinks he is superior to everyone else is you. You are trying to tell us His-Story instead of History.
Dude your a black democrat with an Obama Avatar!

Neither party is mine, not the Jackass or the Elephant.

Personally, I would have chosen a month with 31 days in it, but I'm not the Governor.


"Mississippi Republican Gov. Tate Reeves has declared April as Confederate Heritage Month.

The first-year governor is following the practice of several of his Democratic and Republican predecessors, and his action is drawing criticism from the state’s only African American congressman.

“Unnecessary,” Democratic U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson wrote Monday on Twitter.

The Mississippi chapter of Sons of Confederate Veterans recently posted Reeves’s proclamation on its Facebook page.

“God bless the Confederate Soldier. Many of whom are buried in unmarked and unknown mass graves throughout the South,” the group said in the post. “May he, or his sacrifices, never be forgotten...”

Mississippi governor declares Confederate Heritage Month
Full disclosure:

Slavery Made America

"...by 1860, there were more millionaires (slaveholders all) living in the lower Mississippi Valley than anywhere else in the United States. In the same year, the nearly 4 million American slaves were worth some $3.5 billion, making them the largest single financial asset in the entire U.S. economy, worth more than all manufacturing and railroads combined."

Which day will be lynching day?


Lynching and the Confederacy are two distinct historical events. Obviously you can honor one, without honoring the other.

D'uh.

No you can't, because they are one and the same. Who made up the Confederacy? The same racist who raping, maiming, beating and murdering black folks. Duh.


Wow. That is completely ignorant of you.


The Confederacy was a regional (the south) government of states that rebelled against the National government.

Lynching was mob attacks on people for various reasons from informal law enforcement to racial terrorism, that was found though out the nation as as whole, not limited to the South.

TO say they are the same thing is just a... oh, right.


You are lying. Sorry, and I'm the guy that started the thread the Lesson of Charlottessville.


Yeah, your lie is dismissed.

My point stands.


Lynching and the Confederacy are two distinct historical events. Obviously you can honor one, without honoring the other.

D'uh.

What people made up the Confederacy? People that had just come over from Europe.


No, they weren't.


There is nothing wrong with Southern's having some regional pride. It was over 150 years ago, why do you care?

What is the pride in owner another human being, what pride do you take in treating another human as less than human, what is the pride in inventing the KKK and before you start whining about they weren't Southern that's bullshit.


I've never heard or seen any Southern who celebrate his regional pride, by mentioning any of those things.


You ever hear this song? Not one mention of slavery or the Klan. Funny how they seem to pick and choose. Like everyone else does. And you are living in a fantasy land.



Speaking of picking and choosing, all those things are a LARGE part of their history.


Was it? Most whites were not of the Plantation Class. Most of the people fighting were not fighting FOR slavery, but because of other reasons, such as nationalism, or that a fucking ARMY was rolling into their country.


Rolling into their country, this was the United States of America Jack.

You ever live in the South?

Born and raised, how about you?

So what part of Southern history should black folks celebrate since we were a huge part of that history.

Whatever parts they want.

So you don't have a damn clue.

I've heard blacks talk fondly of the South, in a number of ways from the cuisine to the strong family structure, to the beauty of the land to the music to the ole time religion.

Of course you have, hell we grew up in the South and had to make some joy out of it. Have you ever lived where you couldn't go into a bathroom, couldn't go into certain stores or restaurants, couldn't go down town and sit on a park bench. Tell me have you ever lived in segregation.

When I visited the Birthplace of Robert E. Lee, they have local black actors and actresses telling tales of surviving slavery. A subject that they managed to avoid be boring on, very impressive.

So that just made your day, they were telling the sick story of slavery not celebrating it. Smfh.




1. A distinction I am sure was great comfort for the people's who's families where in the path of that Army. NOT. My point stands. They were not fighting FOR slavery.


Why did Lincoln send the US Army South?


Lincoln's reason(s) for fighting, do not define the reasons for fighting of the confederate's soldiers.

My point stands. They were not fighting FOR slavery. So, honoring their service is not honoring slavery. And it takes a dick to claim it is.



2. Yes. The whites there were very nice and have a distinct culture, that they were rightfully proud of and I never heard any of them citing past oppression of blacks as the reason.


My time in the south. THe whites there are nice people, even though you want to pretend they are monsters.



3. THe bit where you say I don't have a clue, right before the long list I gave? That was stupid and dishonest of you.
You have been stupid and dishonest about the South since you started running that DS.

Moron.

4. They are rightfully proud of their heritage and culture. Your hate is blinding you.

Why would black folks be proud of the past of the South.


That is the way people are.


5. Segregation was a long time ago. That fight was won a long time ago. The nation and the people have changed. YOu are living in the past.

WTF is the topic of this thread.

Not segregation.


6. They were celebrating their people's history. Your denial of that is not good.

Why in the fuck would they be celebrating slavery, that is like saying Jewish folks celebrate the Holocaust. Smfh.


Your hate is blinding you.
 
It is no surprise that Mississippi remains among the most blind and backward states in STILL pushing "Confederate Heritage Month."

Of all Confederate states, MISSISSIPPI was the least "white," the least "free," the most oppressive by almost every standard. In 1860, FIFTY-FIVE PERCENT of the population were BLACK SLAVES!

Slavery in the Deep South Mississippi delta was famously more miserable and more profitable than elsewhere. Even today, after a century of legal Jim Crow terror and segregation, Mississippi still has the largest percentage of African-Americans of any state in the nation, some 38%. The long bitter hard-core political resistance to granting African American rights and recognizing THEIR Southern "Heritage" continues to this day.

The tragedy of the Civil War was the tragedy of a war of rebellion to protect the slaveholders' whole way of life. Race slavery was the "cornerstone" of the civilization the Confederacy was protecting, and sought to extend, and it was counterposed to the fundamental principles we uphold today. The Confederate V.P. made all this crystal clear in his famous "Cornerstone Speech" -- today often conveniently forgotten by Confederate apologists -- made in Savannah and circulated without criticism throughout the South just a few weeks before the war began: Cornerstone Speech - Wikipedia

Real "Southern culture" is not "white" culture. It is not "Confederate" culture. The TRAGEDY of the South was its war of rebellion to protect slaveholders' economic and political dominance. That so many ordinary soldiers fought for and died in Confederate (and Union!) armies, does not change that terrible truth.

When we discuss the Confederacy and its legacy there is no escaping the fact that we are discussing slavery and its legacy -- Jim Crow segregation and racism. Racism was never ever exclusive to the South. Slavery in many ways was an "original sin" of our culture as a whole, and it ultimately tore the country apart. Nostalgia for a beautiful mythologized "Confederate Heritage" not only insults our African American brothers and sisters and ignores THEIR suffering and struggles, THEIR "Heritage," it keeps us from realizing and accepting our COMMON American heritage of suffering, struggle, and --hopefully -- overcoming.
