I can only say one thing, if you come here and meet me, if you see my mother and family, if you see that I am a human being whose family you stole, sold to the White Man, and forced to work on his fields then you might think again about dissing me. I am a human being like you, and I am proud of myself.
And I feel sorry for you guys because you're forgetting that we were all made by G-d.
My heart bleeds. No, wait....it doesn't.
WHO DID YOU VOTE FOR? I BET I KNOW!
As someone who is quite knowledgeable regarding Southern history and the history of the War for Southern Independence, let me respond further.
In Africa, when black tribes went to war with each other, the winning tribe would sell the losing tribe into slavery. North African Arab Muslims often worked in the slave trade. The winning African tribe would sell their defeated enemies to the Arabs in North Africa, who in turn sold them to NORTHERN AMERICAN (YANKEE) slave dealers, who in turn sold them to the Southerners in the US to work on their plantations.
Blacks were actually treated better in the SOUTH because the Southerners got to know them more directly as people, whereas the NORTHERN slave dealers saw them as nothing other than chattel to make money from.
This is one reason why there has always been more racism and prejudice against blacks in the Northern USA than in the South!
White southerners (only 3% of whom ever owned slaves) would often work side by side in the fields with their slaves.
You may ask then, why did the Jim Crow laws develop after the War for Southern Independence?
NORTHERNERS, led by Abraham Lincoln, wanted to punish the South for the war, so they sent carpetbaggers and scalawags down to rip up the South in what they called "reconstruction".
Basically what happened was Northern soldiers, their helpers, and Negroes from the North were allowed to go down there and do just about anything they wanted to...to Southerners, their women, their children, their homes, etc. Everything was destroyed and ruined and pillaged.
Union (Northern) General William Tecumseh Sherman is infamous for burning everything he touched where he went down South. He is famously known for having said that even the women and children in the South should be made to feel the brutality of war.
The Northerners tried to turn the blacks down South against their masters, even though these same masters had often treated these blacks as family members.
The Southerners came to see the blacks in their midst as the CAUSE of their suffering, and so turned on them as well. This led in time to the Jim Crow laws.
So you see, the REAL HATRED was caused BY THE NORTHERNERS! The war was never about slavery; it was about state's rights. Lincoln claimed it was about slavery so he could have an excuse to invade the South.
But it was never about that. Lincoln himself hated black people and has been quoted from his writings as having said they are racially inferior to whites and should never be allowed to vote or live amongst White people.
