Chicago Fanatics Message Board :: View topic - #NoConfederate and similar protests

[

People who haughtily declare that the Civil War had little or nothing to do with slavery as though it's some ignored, almost Gnostic fact that only they and a privileged subset of society are really 'in the know' about, should be lit on fire whilst these and other excerpts are read aloud, illuminated by the light of immolated idiots. Bonus points for wrapping them in a Confederate flag beforehand.

FF just dropped something akin to a racist person saying: "I'm not racist, I once had a black person over to my house for dinner"

Bo and Luke say Fuck you if you don't love the General.

People are protesting a work of art before even seeing the finished product. The Regressive Left strikes again. All this type of shit does is alienate reasonable people from your cause.

I'd like to think this is just a small number of oversensitive crybabies but no, this was the number one thing trending on Twitter last night. Shameful.

...and the myth that the South's main motivation for secession was due to slavery.

Still, I don't think it's evil in the way a guy with a Nazi flag hanging on the wall in his basement is evil. That guy is flying that flag for an obvious and specific purpose and it ain't good. The Confederate bullshit is more like the hijab. Just ignorance regarding what it really means.

I think that we can agree to disagree on a variety of the points you assert here

I'd have to agree with JORR for the most part, but wouldn't deny that there is a subset of the southern culture that still would celebrate those who fought to maintain slavery.

For a full century after the ass kicking Southerners have been the primary proponents of the empty claim that the War Between the States wasn't about slavery.

It's been in their approved textbooks since the 30s and only over the last 25 years have others taken it even mildly serious
