Your post made me smile. You seem to be very informed on the topic
1) Call it whatever you want. Fact of the matter is the southern states didn't want Lincoln as president in first place because he wasn't trying to spread slavery (I will not say he was anti-slavery cuz he wasn't).
2) I was gonna roll with you on that one but...
3) This point made me sit up. To deny the ferocity and brutality Black people faced in the south is almost like doing same as denying the Holocaust happened. And I don't get all my information from textbooks, I get it from my people. Equating U.S. slavery with indentured servitude lacks an examination of the details. With indentured servitude, one was not stripped of their name, family, culture, heritage, and knowledge of self. Also indentured servitude did not make someone legal property (the same as a cow) upon birth based on hertiage and skin color.
4) True. Most slave owners didn't own that many slaves and most did not make a lot of money. Only a few were rich. However, the rest of the whites (even the poor ones) benefitted from the system of slavery from white skin privelege.
5) See #4
6) We have different "memories" because of "our" different experiences.
7) I'll leave that for Pretty
8) That's what happens when you're stripped of your language, culture, heritage, and knowledge of self. And then taught to hate yourself.
9) I really don't care. If XYZ frat only wanted white males, I really wouldn't care. I have Alpha. Check out the signature. I really don't think everyone should care who people take into their PRIVATE organizations, just as long as it doesn't adversely affect the PUBLIC.
10) Not my forum, but ya did put a spark in my day.
Nothing like having an educated discussion where people throw around information instead of personal attacks.
