This looks to me like Steve is just telling you to slow down and double check your facts. To me, it sounds like you're just putting stuff out there and not even making sure you're right. I do the same thing sometimes.

Don't be offended when somebody tells you to double check you're history.

I stand by my original post that wasn't even directed to him. He claims he's ashamed of his white ancestors from the South. Well, he shouldn't be. That's disgraceful as hell to me to talk down on your own blood like that. There was a lot of ignorance all around back then and that includes the blacks. There were black men who sold other black men as well. Nobody was really innocent.

Also, down in the South, most white men were poor and doing the same work as the black folks. They weren't really free to go anywhere before or after the war just the same. Most white men didn't even have the right to vote either unless they were property owners and most white men were not property owners.

But anyways, back then nobody really knew what was truly right or wrong. Folks just did what they had to do to survive, no different than they do today. It's easy to sit here today and cast judgment on those from long ago but had you grown up in that era you would have been no different than most of them not knowing what you now know about it today.

But once again, here we are today, some 40 years into legalized abortion and already 50+ million dead in just that amount of time in the US alone.

I wonder if one day the people of the future will cast judgment on all of us for allowing such evil to go on?
