No fucking idea what your line about blacks getting rich or being punched in the face has to do with anything that I have said. My point has nothing to do with the civil war, it has nothing to do with keeping the statues in the south ( I actually think they are in poor taste), and It certainly has nothing to do with the Revolution, which I never even brought up, nor did I accuse of ignoring it.(August 14, 2017 at 4:32 pm)Mr.wizard Wrote: Now we are on to Financial crimes by Bernie Madoff and traffic violations. I am well aware slavery is wrong and that the south wanted slavery, I also think Jefferson was wrong in owning slaves but none of those things is relevant to the point I raised. I also didn't say anything about you advocating for Jefferson owning slaves.
So on top of blacks being abused they still got rich? Ok, sorry I forgot, they all got punched in the face but their owners gave them a cut in the profits. GOTCHA.
No your point was to keep the Statues of the South and falsely accusing me of ignoring the climate of the Revolution which I do not and will not. I am saying the North STILL was the geographical start of the end of slavery.
It still remains between the North and South at the time of the Civil War only the South was fighting to keep it and in the North it had long since been ditched. And the founders though they didn't get the end of it at the time, did pave that route.
Should towns have the right to have monuments on public property in which the subject has ties to slavery or should it be against the law? That is the question I asked, very simple, don't know how I can make it anymore clear.
