Or the folks from the north who vastly misrepresent what exactly the confederacy stood for.
A black business in Detroit a city with Black mayors and elected officials is being harassed by the big liberal government running that city and one of the first things he says is...
"They leave the downtown people alone but have time to come get us black folks"...
When you see a biggot behind every tree you're a bigger problem then anyone else in terms of reconciliation.
The confederacy should be a non-issue in everyone's mind. What good were they? Why should I respect the idea of them?
Bigger question.. Why should you care if someone does respect them?
I really don't care. I've said before that I'll go right by a battle flag and not even notice it.
Sorry did not mean *you* -you just the people who do get in a twist.

There are an estimated 27 million currently living as slaves throughout the world.
Do they count?
