Good show.

And you've been chewing the carpet ever since.  

It shows that your words are often empty.  

And that you are too miserable a human to admit that you shouldn't have said something.  

But keep laughing.  I am sure you are twisted enough that your BS amuses you.

As long as my posts make you happy. I live for that and that alone.

Come on.

The Radical Republicans' heyday was more post-war than anything else. They were equally, if not more concerned with protecting their own business interests and maintaining/seizing political power as they were with anything else.
True enough, they were instrumental in setting Reconstruction policy. However, they got distracted by in-fighting, power-grabs, and fast choo-choo trains, and FAILED miserably. That failure of which subsequently ushered in the glorious horror show we know of as Jim Crow.  So....¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I mean, if you want me to say some of them were probably nice guys, I will.
Some of them were probably nice guys.

That doesn't change the fact that the US government has had a direct and deliberate hand in thoroughly fucking over slaves and their descendants for centuries. White supremacy has been a fundamental doctrine of this country for the most of it's existence.

It's true.

Sure, but context matters. If you say, "black people should blame black people for slavery," it sounds like all black people should be held responsible for slavery, which is obviously ludicrous. The same goes for blaming all white people. People who keep and sell slaves are the only people to blame.

Sure, weak people who turned a blind eye can shoulder some of that, but they aren't so much at fault as they are complicit.

Sure. The Confederate flag-toting assholes can definitely take some shame.

Sorry, what? Someone threatened to shoot you in the face? Legit threatened? Post please?

He hasn't been censored.  He's been removed from Facebook.  No one is curtailing his right to speak.

Censored by Facebook is what I meant.

He hasn't been censored . Nothing about not having a facebook account denies him his freedom of speech .

Which ones the ones who bought and moved them across the sea and even if they couldn't by slaves from Africans they would not have been above catching them themselves .

And the governments that passed  laws allowing it and the oppression that followed

I disagree complicity before moral evil is just as bad

Technically he was censored by Facebook, but that's okay, because that's not a freedom of speech issue.
