What is so hard to understand about that?
I heard the Civil War started because the South got fed up of being bossed around by the north, and slavery was only a part of it.
For example, before the war the north manned Fort Sumter with northern troops smack in the middle of the south's Charleston harbor, what cheek!

Like I said, Alex Haley was proven to have lied through his teeth when he wrote 'Roots'..
So we have to use our own logic to deduce that slaves weren't treated anywhere as bad as the propaganda makes out.
I mean, if a slave owner bought slaves for big bucks to work his land, the last thing he's going to do is mistreat them! Instead, he'll feed them, house them, clothe and medcare them to protect his investment and get years of work out of them..
There are people who have ideas worthy of the discourse. The are mental masturbators with nothing of value to add except flaccid jerky comments.

The side that puts you under the statues as it is blown up.

You heard?! What the fuck does that mean or have to do with anything? Are you just looking for something that tweaks your emotional trigger to decide to believe?
What logic did you apply that says since Roots was not a strict historical account, then slavery was ok?

Unlike xtians with their saints and ten commandments monuments and fucking crosses all over the place like horseshit these fucking towel-heads can get serious about this 'graven image' shit. Call me a bigot , but .. Taliban, ISIS, Al Quaeda.. What's the fucking difference?
Nationality, mainly. The Taliban are Afghans. ISIS are Syrian/Iraqi. Al Qaeda are Saudi Wahabist fucks. It's like asking what is the difference between Mussolini's Fascists, Hitler's Fascists and Franco's Fascists.
BTW, it seems that the douchebag in the confederate uniform got kicked out of college.

That is not the word on the street in Britain. I am English as well old bean. The word on the street round this way is that the finally symbols of oppression are being removed and racists are trying to keep their oppressive symbols so they can feel better about trying to oppress. Don't think of them as statues, think of them as swastikas next to a synagogue.
Or a rapist going round their victims house and screaming "I'm just" outside every night.
Imagine that.
