Well thats american history for you. why do u think many afro american come in different shades inthis country. Interracial sex had, but mostly through rape. The master could take any black femalehe wanted

[jennycubbon]

hypocrite...think colonial India. The opium wars...uhm what else did the Brits do oh how about starving the Irish to death.

@LordDracsWife - Read the Texas Ordinance of Secession. It explains very clearly why the Confederates fought. Every time you fly a Confederate flag, you are condoning it. If my ancestors had done something unjustifiable, I wouldn't be here celebrating it. I'd be hoping that they aren't burning in hell.

[lovingit1000]

@LordDracsWife - Would it have been okay for the people who your ancestors enslaved to have owned you or your ancestors if some paper said it was okay? I think you would think no type of paper would have given them the authority. You are trying to minimize (wasn't as bad as they say it was) and justify (other people did it too) things to save your own soul. These people were uneducated because your ancestors kept them like this. I would rather starve to death a free man than be anybody's slave.

@lovingit1000 If a man rapes his wife, that is their business. Afterall, they BOTH stood before a preacher and said vows which gives them both the right to do whatever they want within their union. As far as the Texas thing... I'm not concerned with it so it doesn't matter. There is nothing you can say or do that will change my mind on my views of The Civil War. I really don't like slavery and since it was abolished, I don't owe anyone anything. I will not be made to feel that way either.

[LordDracsWife]

@lovingit1000 In my history, My people owned plantations and owned slaves. We have documentation that says even after the "Lincoln Freedom Act" that we still own all of the descendants from the slaves that our people owned years ago. WE do not act upon these because we are civil now. It wasn't as bad as yankees make it sound for the blacks. Many after freed were homeless and had no trade. Many couldn't get a job and thousands died from starvation. So it seems they should have stayed!

[lovingit1000]

@LordDracsWife - If a man rapes his wife, does that mean you can rape her too? This wouldn't hold up in a court of law. One wrong does not justify another wrong. Read the Texas Ordinance of Secession. The Confederates wanted to break off from the US, because they weren't able to move out of the dark ages. It seems their apples don't fall too far from the bush. Your flag is a symbol of the dark ages. If the heritage is wrong, there is no nobility in clinging to it. It keeps you in the dark ages.

[lovingit1000]

@LordDracsWife - Your little struggles are not slavery. I'm asking YOU for a time when it would be acceptable for someone else to treat you in the way that slaves were treated in the Antebellum South. I suspect there wouldn't be any time when you would accept this and there SHOULDN'T BE any time when anyone should accept this. There is only one side in this discussion and the Confederates were on the wrong side of it. The equivalent of your flag is the Nazi flag. At least the Germans repented.

[LordDracsWife]

@lovingit1000 Are you one? Have you ever been a slave? Do tell us all about your bondage if so. I will fly the flag until I die. I've made many mistakes in my life, but you can bet your sweet bippy one thing... I will pay respect to Johnny Reb.

[LordDracsWife]

@lovingit1000 On the flip... you forget that Africans sold their own people and NORTHERNERS sold slaves to SOUTHERNERS! Slave traders bought them here on ships by the thousands. 

[lovingit1000]

@LordDracsWife - You have no idea what it means to be a slave. No idea.

The past includes the Confederate flag and monuments. Let them go. Lead by example, not words. Everyone can go back in their bloodlines and find someone who fought and maybe died for the wrong cause. No reason to cling to the reprehensible. It means you don't have the capacity to be self-critical or learn from your mistakes.

[lovingit1000]

@LordDracsWife - The Germans have more sense not to fly a Nazi flag as a symbol of "their" heritage.

What nerve you have to say that a flag that OPPRESSED you almost as much as the slave should remain just because you were too naive to see it for what it was. You want to keep repeating something, instead of learning from your mistakes.

Anyway, you can't ask people to GET OVER THINGS, when you aren't willing too. The Confederates were wrong. Those who fought for them were wrong. GET OVER IT.
