Why are we discussing songs when public policy is the problem?

There are always contemporary rules that need to be evaluated to discern between the authority of government and the wrights of the people to be secure in self ownership ( free roam , free association , progeny ) and self determination ( private property , wilful intents - contracts ) elements of individualism .

The anti racist racists should not be allowed to character assassinate vast swaths of white society base upon ignorance of facts .

Public policy is a solution that may represent a problem though it is effective in resolving a problem , if in fact there is a problem to resolve .

Everything is racist.

It's getting spooky scary out there. It's like being in Salem 1692. Do you believe in the white Jesus? Racist must be destroyed. What kind of music do you listen to? It might be racist. Destroy that music down to the very notes that made the melody. Is wearing something Trump Red automatically racist? If I walked down the street humming a chorus of Mammy is that racist? Witch! He made the cow give sour milk.

Everyone white must be given the water test to see if they are racist or not. The water test is where you are tied to a pole and held under water for 15 minutes. If you don't drown you aren't a racist.

People should wonder why those parading and announcing themselves as liberators of the individual expect to do so by implementing authoritarian public policy against the self ownership ( free roam , free association , progeny ) and self determination ( private property , willful intents - contracts ) elements of individualism that are entitled for liberty of the people .

William Ellison - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

William Ellison Jr., born April Ellison (c. April 1790 – December 5, 1861), was a U.S. cotton gin maker and blacksmith in South Carolina, and former black slave who achieved considerable success in business before the American Civil War. He eventually became a major planter and one of the medium property owners, and the wealthiest black property owner in the state. According to the 1860 census (in which his surname was listed as “Ellerson”), he owned 63 black slaves, making him the largest of the 171 black slaveholders in South Carolina. He held 40 slaves at his death and more than 1,000 acres (400 ha) of land. From 1830-1865 he and his sons were the only free blacks in Sumter County, South Carolina to own slaves. The county was largely devoted to cotton plantations, and the majority population were slaves.
...
During the American Civil War, Ellison and his sons supported the Confederate States of America and gave the government substantial donations and aid. A grandson fought informally with the regular Confederate Army and survived the war.

How Many Slaves Did Blacks Own?

So what do the actual numbers of black slave owners and their slaves tell us? In 1830, the year most carefully studied by Carter G. Woodson, about 13.7 percent (319,599) of the black population was free. Of these, 3,776 free Negroes owned 12,907 slaves, out of a total of 2,009,043 slaves owned in the entire United States, so the numbers of slaves owned by black people over all was quite small by comparison with the number owned by white people. In his essay, " 'The Known World' of Free Black Slaveholders," Thomas J. Pressly, using Woodson's statistics, calculated that 54 (or about 1 percent) of these black slave owners in 1830 owned between 20 and 84 slaves; 172 (about 4 percent) owned between 10 to 19 slaves; and 3,550 (about 94 percent) each owned between 1 and 9 slaves. Crucially, 42 percent owned just one slave.

Pressly also shows that the percentage of free black slave owners as the total number of free black heads of families was quite high in several states, namely 43 percent in South Carolina, 40 percent in Louisiana, 26 percent in Mississippi, 25 percent in Alabama and 20 percent in Georgia. So why did these free black people own these slaves?

It is reasonable to assume that the 42 percent of the free black slave owners who owned just one slave probably owned a family member to protect that person, as did many of the other black slave owners who owned only slightly larger numbers of slaves. As Woodson put it in 1924's Free Negro Owners of Slaves in the United States in 1830, "The census records show that the majority of the Negro owners of slaves were such from the point of view of philanthropy. In many instances the husband purchased the wife or vice versa … Slaves of Negroes were in some cases the children of a free father who had purchased his wife. If he did not thereafter emancipate the mother, as so many such husbands failed to do, his own children were born his slaves and were thus reported to the numerators."

Moreover, Woodson explains, "Benevolent Negroes often purchased slaves to make their lot easier by granting them their freedom for a nominal sum, or by permitting them to work it out on liberal terms." In other words, these black slave-owners, the clear majority, cleverly used the system of slavery to protect their loved ones.

" Blubbering Some One Owes Me For Being Born And My Condition Of Helplessness "

* Clear And Obvious Anti Racist Racists *

There are no anti racist racists and there are some things in AMERICAN society that need to be eliminated based on facts. That song is irrelevant because if a person didn't like it for any reason they don't buy the song or the album. You can't do that to the national anthem. Nor can you to racist public policy.

If one does not want to carry a rebel flag , then do not carry one .

Do not accuse those who do carry a rebel flag of racism just because of despicably researched information , or because of being an anti-racist racist ( an anti-racist racist black in your case ) , with a penchant for histrionics , for categorical ignorance and with a pathetic bent towards making the white man pay .

All that one can discern from protests during the national anthem is that some mealy mouth punk is ungrateful for the opportunities they do have in this country and we would all gladly pay to send their stupid ass back to wherever they feel though should be , that is anywhere other than here .

How Many Slaves Did Blacks Own?

The following question of theory was posed , " The us civil war was fought by the south for commerce reasons , else why would blacks or any non white be allowed freedom ? " .

The question of " How Many Slaves Did Blacks Own ? " is irrelevant given facts that former black slaves were allowed to be free and to participate in trade and commerce that is contradictory with a racist premise but is consistent with a caste system .

The song is about the confederacy ending and the hollow glory of those non-slave holding dirt farmers who fought for it.

The farmers fought for their state, their family and their neighbors

and they fought honorably

Joan Baez - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Cartoonist Al Capp, creator of the comic strip Li'l Abner, satirized Baez as "Joanie Phoanie" during the 1960s. Capp's satirized Joanie was an unabashed communist radical who sang songs of class warfare while hypocritically traveling in a limousine and charging outrageous performance fees to impoverished orphans.[112] Capp had this character singing bizarre songs such as "A Tale of Bagels and Bacon" and "Molotov Cocktails for Two".

Champagne socialist - Wikipedia

Champagne socialist is a political term originating in the United Kingdom.[1][2] It is a popular epithet that implies a degree of hypocrisy, and it is closely related to the concept of the "liberal elite".[3] The phrase is used to describe self-identified socialists whose luxurious upper middle-class or "preppy" lifestyles (perhaps including consumption of Champagne) apparently contradict their political convictions.[4]

The song is about the confederacy ending and the hollow glory of those non-slave holding dirt farmers who fought for it. They were promised the moon and ended up with nothing but dead kin and ruination. Race isn't mentioned and it in no way glorifies the confederacy.

It’s a great song...

The Left is pushing relentlessly for a full reboot of America. They will deem anything and everything that happened or existed pre-reboot to be RACIST not because it may be genuinely RACIST but because the ‘happening’ or ‘thing’ took place or existed during a time frame they have deemed RACIST.
That’s the deal...bank on it.
