This video makes me proud that somebody else knows the true history about the south.

Southern isn't a race, but prejudice against southerners is every bit as poisonous as prejudice on the basis of race or religion.

Im a Confederate Flag loving red-neck bastard I dont like what Mitt had to say about it being decisive ,but if he wins the nomination Im down with him. He is a great man and soon to be a great Prez

Tony Brown's Journal which aired on a Chicago station was more honest than most white liberal shows. He had a majority of African American Historians whom stated FACTS not Modern PC. The viewer was to decide for himself.

Another lie told by liberals is that slaves were captured by whites hiding in bushes in Africa, but the truth is, that most of the slaves were captured by other african tribes through military conquest, and then sold off to the highest bidder.

@cowboy4ev2 Regardless of who caught who, it doesn't matter. Was anyone ever forced to buy a slave and participate in the institution?

[bryanac625]

@cowboy4ev2 I have freedom in Christ, He set me free a long time ago when I asked Him into my life. And "abused in our country;" "man-capture and racism" is all I wanted to hear you admit, rather than sugar-coat the truth.

I'm sorry if I said things that were disrespectful. But please- don't minimize an institution that was a crime against humanity. I don't know anybody wanting to be a slave to someone else regardless of the circumstances.

@bryanac625 That's just a weird claim to make. Verifying in my mind that you must not have spent a lot of time in college, or you'd know the professors favor your view. Regarding my wife. I'd love for my wife and I to both be slaves of a good master. Slavery is as good or as bad as the man who's in charge. I'm a slave of Christ, as the Bible says. The institution of slavery isn't wrong (there's a biblical model for it...although abused in our country), but mankind can be wrong.

@bryanac625 The North captured them (the cruelest part was the middle passage which was done by Northerners), The South bought them, and most of them still had a better life in slavery than they do as civil slaves to the government currently. Yet the South is the scape-goat of the nation. It's highly hypocritical and dishonest to crucify the south for something every nation participated in. And saying my views are PC is weird. You're the one with the Politically Correct view.

@bryanac625 I having a very hard time believing your a historian when you create straw men, beg the question, and belittle people who disagree with you. My undergrad is in history, but to be perfectly honest I got indoctrinated to a Northern view in my classes. I haven't said anything about slavery being "positive." There were some horrible aspects to slavery in our country (i.e. man capture and racism).

@cowboy4ev2 No, I do know my stuff. I'm a historian with a college degree and I've studied this subject all of my life. I've read the slave narratives of Frederick Douglass, Wallace Turnage and John Washington. They know more about what it was to be an American slave than we ever will.

I never said all white southerners were evil people. But I'm not going to look at history through the revisionist, PC views you do. Again, if slavery was so great, have your wife be someone's slave.
