I won’t presume to speak on behalf of black people, but I’ve put effort into trying to imagine how it feels. I can tell you what I’ve done about what you’re asking here.

States’ rights to treat people as property and whip their flesh into bloody raw pulp. States’ rights to tear a child from a parent. States’ rights to rape a woman every day, force her to bear your child then sell your daughter to another rapist.

Lee was never in that city .

when I was a kid in Mississippi they put up the confederate flag and we sang Dixie every day along with the Pledge of Allegiance. Can you believe that shit?
