First off--

Y'all know that there is a whole lot more to this story that what y'all are reading... CNN or not... There are probably past racial incidences at this high school from the 0.1% half black folks that attend there and she is one of the main culprits perpetuating that chit... And the irony is that her date was probably African American...

Second off--

Look, most African Americans that are lighter hued but still choose to identify themselves as Black (not just on paper), and have family down south (like mine in Georgia and Florida), probably have some caucasian ancestors that were officers of the confederacy... So let's not get too picky out who's side we're on... Read about Strom Thurmond's out of wedlock daughter he had from his Black maid (whom I bet he raped, then said he loved her)...

Lastly,

Most of you need to know your history, because y'all will be doomed to repeat it...

The US Civil War was not about Slavery. The emancipation occured to keep the Union together by the Republican, Abraham Lincoln who was part of the abolishonist movement, but not a full supporter of it. Most the south at that time were Democrats--now called Dixiecrats. The Civil War was about $$$$ plan and simple. The south had free labor and the north did not have all that agriculture, but wanted industrialization.

The south cannot be made antibellum in the hearts and minds of most African Americans. It hurts our ancestry too much. Especially since my own parents suffered under Jim Crow. And many Caucasian folks who are of similar age of my parents fought for civil rights in the south side by side and can tell their horror stories too--a lot of them are reclused into odd jobs as professors and psychologists... I meet them everywhere I live--especially in the South... Look at the Southern Poverty Law Center...
