Morgan Freeman sounds funny after he takes a huge gulp of helium

@EponymousWolf What about Christians in the slave trade? No shortage of Christians involved in the slave trade, that's for sure. Look at yourself first, Mr. Finger Pointing at everyone, but me.

@dbjkatz Lol I am talking about the second kkk the first one was more of a insurgency group( which was short lived) that later became racist when Nathan Bedford Forrest took over. Also I was talking about the American neo Nazis.
sorry for the misunderstanding

The first sentence is accurate, at least in cities like Charleston, South Carolina. and Savannah, Georgia. The rest is total hogwash. Nathan Bedford Forrest, a slave trader from Mississippi, started the KKK less than a year after the Civil War ended. As for Nazism, it started in post-WWI Germany, not the U.S.
Its not accurate to say Jews chose the Union over the Confedeacy. The first two Jews elected to the US Senate were Judah Benjamin from Louisiana and David Levy Yulee from Florida. Benjamin served in the Confederate cabinet and the quartermaster general of the Confederate army was Jewish. The Old South was very tolerant of Jews. Didn't hear about that in your history classes did you?

Think of it, the only non-christian that served a post in the Cabinet was Benjamin! But it was a Confederate Position not a Union Position. Even though Lincoln abolished Gen Order #11 he never appointed a Jew to his cabinet. There was only one non-white that served at the level of General and that was Confederate General Watie. Now for all the wag about Confederates and their intolerance, the North was no better. Good Show! Carry on!
