I'm actually afraid to click on the "see more" thing.

I'm just going to go ahead and burn my damn laptop.

Is this the kinda stuff that goes on here late at night? How am I supposed to go to sleep after seeing this?

To be fair, the flag in his office only has 49 stars.

Joke's on the homosexuals. Marriage sucks.

You're assuming the hair-salon chatting racists are white? That's racist.

I'm pretty sure the smallpox that killed the Native Americans wasn't solely due to exposure from white Europeans, the Africans accompanying the Europeans could've just as likely been a source as well. I know the Spaniards brought the exposure to the Aztecs in Mexico, so it definitely wasn't just a white anglo thing.

Yeah, maybe I am delusional, but I'm just don't follow the idea that when a person says something like "I think black people are violent", or 'white people can't be trusted" I can make the conclusion that person believes that's evidence of racial inferiority and thus justifying the oppression and subjugation of that

That all sounds like general racist stereotypes held by every white person's racist-ass grandparents. You know who else has racist-ass grandparents? Black people. And Asians. And Hispanics. Everybody's racist to some extent, but I think it's a pretty far jump from that to arguing you believe in a genetically ordained

But is this even a real debate that's going on out there? Is there truly even a single person out there in mainstream America making a serious claim of racial superiority that people are taking seriously? It seems to me to be on par with writing an open letter to child molesters.

Yeah, I guess that could lead down the road of questioning, if everybody's equal, why we need affirmative action programs that are designed to address social inequalities? I'm not going to make that argument though, and I doubt he was putting that much thought into it.

I'm not in any way trying to excuse the institution of slavery in the south. It was evil. But it was also evil in the Union states that allowed it to go on during the war too.

Lincoln was basically running the country solely through presidential directives, most of the U.S. constitution had been suspended or just out and out ignored. He could've easily included Maryland and the other border states in the Emancipation Proclamation, but didn't, because it would've been politically disastrous

But doesn't that taint all the righteousness claimed by the Union states? It's ok to do horrible things to the people of the southern states as long as it ends the absolute evil that is slavery, but, um, Maryland, and um, Delaware, whenever they felt like giving it up voluntarily, that's just fine. No big deal.

Ok.

Sorry about the bullshit. But if you're suggesting that deep down inside the average white southerner agrees with Roof, but is afraid to admit it because they're afraid of appearing racist, well, sorry but that's not just a southern white person thing.

The poor are significantly underrepresented in the census numbers we have for today. What makes you think they were better at counting people 150 years ago?

Just the general knowledge that it would take a certain bit of wealth and resources to own and maintain even a single slave, which obviously the majority of people living in the south in the 1860's did not have. The fact that the poor were most likely significantly underrepresented in the census numbers leads me to

He straight up said he wished he could ship the freed slaves back to Africa.
