If No One Today Owned Slaves...

[Tommy Tainant]

White Southerners (and vast numbers of White Northerners) work hard to protect memorials to Confederate generals because of their Healing Power amongst Whites.

Respect for wayward and wrong-thinking brethren who fought hard and then lost is an American tradition with strong roots in English and other Western European history.

One can see the same rationale and the same emotions at-work in the United Kingdom as one observes the honors bestowed upon both Royalists and Parliamentarians.

On first reading I thought this was crap. I got it on the second reading. I disagree, but its interesting.

 

[Auld Phart]

One thing that nevr gets mentioned is the extreme rights non partisan approach to free speech.
Is there any other political party that would fight so hard to protect the statues of former slavers that modern republicans find so distasteful ?

would you rather we be like the Taliban, and destroy history?

Those that ignore history , are doomed to repeat it.

No matter how much LBT and the other conservatives squeak, their actions even louder speak.

Let’s never forget that SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVES were the main beneficiaries and perpetrators of slavery

And conservatives are where most of the racism remains

Lord Brown Trout: Not true. Dems are the party of slavery and segregation. Those are facts. Dont even try to whitewash it.

Lincoln was a Conservative.

I agree..Lincoln was responsible for the largest mass execution in history, the Dakota 38.

On the day after Christmas in 1862, 38 Dakota men were hanged under order of President Abraham Lincoln. The hangings and convictions of the Dakota 38 resulted from the aftermath of the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 in southwest Minnesota.

In addition to the 38 men hanged the day after Christmas, there were terrible injustices committed against 265 others in the form of military convictions and inhuman injustices to more than 3,000 Dakota people who were held captive, then forced to march west out of Minnesota.

Sounds like a Conservative to me.

Lincoln was a cruel conservative.

Because lets never forget that dems are the party of slavery and segregation. This is the party that you vote for and that same party that keeps you in bondage and leads your around by your nose.

Is that the Democrat party that destroyed the black family with the Great Society?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The Dem Party that protects blacks from going back into the kind of slavery that the GOP wants for them.

Like Jim Crow, no civil rights? Remind everyone who created Jim Crow, the KKK and voted against the Civil Rights Act


I suspect you'll be dumbstruck

The democrat party owned the slaves.....and they control the cities and education system that keep blacks in generational crime and poverty....that you defend the democrat party is disgusting.

 

[Meathead]

Then why do Republicans keep trying to talk about today's Democrats and slavery?

There is a lot modern republicans choose not to tell young blacks as they try luring blacks into supporting a move back into Jim Crow. First, not all Republicans were for racial equality. The Party had several factions in the beginning. One was the Radical Republicans. The Radical Republicans were for the eradication of slavery. They were not conservatives. Frederick Douglass was a Radical Republican. Lincoln was moderate politically. He opposed the expansion of slavery but did not believe in racial equality.

As the country began splitting up, a great panic started consuming the outgoing Buchanan administration and members of congress. They wanted to keep the union together. They did not want the south to leave. They did not want war. President Buchanan declared secession was a constitutional crisis and then asked Congress to develop a plan to keep the south in the union.4 He wanted Congress to assure the southern states that slavery would be protected once Lincoln took office. Congress offered over fifty different proposals trying to keep the union together. In the end, congress settled for a proposal by Republican Thomas Corwin. It is called the Corwin Amendment, or more accurately, the slavery amendment.

The Corwin Amendment is a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution that has never been adopted, but owing to the absence of a ratification deadline, could still be adopted by the state legislatures. It would shield slavery within the states from the federal constitutional amendment process and from abolition or interference by Congress. Although the Corwin Amendment does not explicitly use the word slavery, it was designed specifically to protect slavery from federal power. The out-going 36th United States Congress proposed the Corwin Amendment on March 2, 1861, shortly before the outbreak of the American Civil War, with the intent of preventing that war and preserving the Union. It passed Congress but was not ratified by the requisite number of state legislatures.

Several Southern states attempted to secede after the 1860 presidential election, eventually forming the Confederate States of America. Several federal legislative measures, including the Corwin Amendment, were proposed during this period in the hope of either reconciling the sections of the United States or avoiding the secession of the border states. Senator William H. Seward and Representative Thomas Corwin, Republicans and allies of President-elect Abraham Lincoln, introduced the Corwin Amendment, which was endorsed by the outgoing president, James Buchanan. Because it was only ratified in a handful of Northern states and Kentucky, the amendment failed to achieve its goal of preventing civil war and preserving the Union. Ultimately, it fell out of favor during the Civil War.

This was proposed by 2 republicans, it's documented fact and it's time republicans stopped posting disingenuous junk. Blacks know the history and the more you think we are stupid enough to fall for your tale and keep trying to tell it, the more we will refuse to become Republicans.

They own slaves in Africa; not a GOP stronhold.

You know.....back when the democrat party physically owned blacks as their slaves, they said the same thing....that blacks were better off under their ownership.............you dumb ass.

It seems to me that the modern GOP is hell bent in suppressing history by banning history books and lessons on history. Certain types of history of course.
Statues arent history. But put them in a museum, Dont make folk walk past their oppressors every day.

democrats owned slaves, they fought against America to keep their slaves on the plantation

 

[USAF 2023]

You are a slave and you will always be a slave, IM2, until you break free of all these self-imposed shackles of yours.

The day you think of yourself as equal to any white person will be the day you stop blaming them for everything wrong with your life and thus actually take control over it and responsibility for it.

It’s obvious he believes he isn’t
