I watched a bit of "Eyes on the Prize" Sunday on PBS and, even though I've seen it a few times before, it's always riveting. Thank god for the courageous media back then, not to mention all those young African-American students on the front lines of integration, because the images and footage still resonate after all these years.
The Civil Rights movement was an extension of the Civil War, to guarantee that all men and women are created equal with equal rights.
Today, with the 149th anniversary of the start of the Civil War, there are a few out there who continue to divide America over that conflict. Their timing is suspicious, considering we have an African-American in the White House.
The Republican governor of Virginia has designated this "Confederate History Month." He's received support from the Republican governor of Mississippi. This is supposedly about "Southern heritage," the kind that excludes African-Americans, so that Virginians can "understand the sacrifices of the Confederate leaders, soldiers and citizens during the period of the Civil War." (The Virginia governor later condemned slavery).
These governors, and others in the South and elsewhere, need to be constantly reminded of what General U.S. Grant thought at the war's conclusion when he wrote in his memoirs, "I felt like anything rather than rejoicing at the downfall of a foe who had fought so long and valiantly, and had suffered so much for a cause, though that cause was, I believe, one of the worst for which a people ever fought, and one for which there was the least excuse."
Imagine if Germany had a "Nazi History Month" about all the heroic actions of native sons trying to fight off the Allied invaders.
What is with these freaks in the American South? Is it some sort of fetish with uniforms and leather? Is it a complete denial of how destructive their "lost cause" of slavery was to this country? And why do these guys continue to get elected?
In light of "Eyes on the Prize," it's discouraging to see the same attitudes of the 1950s and '60s re-surface in 2010.
In eastern Oregon, a white supremacist group, using Confederate imagery, wants to set up shop in John Day, about 120 miles east of Bend. (See earlier post here.) And, I'm sure you see the Confederate battle flag on a few vehicles where you live.
It's one thing for a private citizen to display his or her hate and ignorance. It is completely wrong for a state in this Union to do so. Does the "North" need to come down and raise holy hell again throughout the South? The "North" now includes the vast majority of the 50 states. It would be quick work to crush the racists in the South, from Virginia to Texas.
But, we're beyond that. We, the "Northerners," hope to merely embarrass and humiliate these Southern "heritage" idiots on a national and international level.
Not that it matters to the Republican governors of Virginia and Mississippi. They are truly clueless.
ROTH IN HELL u dirty yankee fuck.It is the your kind and the likes that spring hate not the BATTLE FLAG u ignorant pig from the north.It wasnt about slavery(read a book for christ sakes!)it was about taxes.Some northern states were in favor of slavery, states had the right to choose, legislators decided.Slaves were needed for labor.If some jack ass government cut your salary by half and take your work tools away, what would you do.Probably nothin yankee coward hog.Besides the yankees invaded the south to enforce freedom of choice?

Delete1.Less than a third of the Southern population owned slaves.(Wikipedia)
2.The Confederate Flag is in no way racist.
3.Yall believe the things that your school teachers teach ya 'cause they only teach you the northern side of the war.
"Surrender means that the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by northern school teachers; learn from northern school books their version of the war; and taught to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects of derision." - Gen. Patrick Cleburne C.S.A
All imperialist nations had slaves.George Washington had slaves,French, english, spanish empires had slaves.The colonies are the ones who brought them niggers here so dnot fucking blame it on the confederates! yankee dog.

ReplyDeleteAre you a fucking idiot? An African American in the White House? His wife maybe, but certainly not Obama. I understand NOT why, people continually persist to call him a black man.. What sort-of convenience is it, that he is "BLACK?" He's not black, He's not white. He's a fucking hybrid. As far as CSA and NSDAP, CSA is heritage, and the Civil war wasn't initially fought over slavery. Also, keying in on this point: "African Colonies", sold their own people to the English; you didn't think they went into the Jungles/Deserts of Africa chasing them down, did you? Their own tribes were willing and able to sell them out, just like today. On another note, have you ever listened to a few rap songs? "Kill the White Devil", or "Kill the Police", or "I'm gonna get me a white bitch and make her my ho".. And, for most of you that think Abraham Lincoln: "Freed" the slaves. He WANTED to send the blacks back to africa, had America had the cash for the cost to ship them back, likely, they wouldn't be here today. I've got family on both side of the fence, one side immigrated from Vienna Austria to Dresden Germany where some came to America and some stayed in Germany, and the other from Ireland.. I've got ancestors in the Wehrmacht during Franco-Prussian War, WW1, WW2 and ancestors in the Civil war in the Confederate Tennessee Mounted infantry. So, as far as you saying "HATE", I say heritage. I'd wear both the Stars and Bars AND the Hakenkreuz proudly. And, if you don't like that -- You can most definitely, kiss my fucking ass.
ReplyDeleteIf I want a Confederate Heritage month, what business is that of yours? And, what business is that of your black friends; B.E.T., (Black Entertainment Television) UNCF (United "NEGRO" College Fund) "Black History Month". NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People).. I guarantee you, for the sake of ARGUMENT, if there was a white man, that wanted to start a 'White Entertainment Television', using that exact wording, there'd be a class action law suit including all the mindless zombies in Washington shooting it down. It would be a HATE crime to have a White Channel.. Predominately white TV shows have to have blacks in them. "HAVE TO HAVE", Whereas Blacks can have TV shows with either NO whites, or the whites are subhuman, and held in disregard. Your comment:
ReplyDelete"But, we're beyond that. We, the "Northerners," hope to merely embarrass and humiliate these Southern "heritage" idiots on a national and international level."
Haha.. The North got a hair up its ass, because the South was going to cut them out of the cotton trade, that's what the "CIVIL WAR" was about. And, you can talk all the shit you want..
The U.S. 'UNION' Government, is not so innocent..
Massacre of Indians on a scale that RIVALS Hitler..
So, Indians are NOT so important to you?
I realize that the U.S. did not INITIATE the massacre of Indians and that it started well around 500 years ago with the 'discovery' of the new land, but they did take over after the Revolutionary War, you know.. To gain territory..
THANK YOU!!! I am an SCV member and my fam NEVER owned slaves, we fought for our RIGHT TO GOVERN OURSELVES.
DeletePS. To any bumbass yank that still cant get it, look at this news story from a MAN I would gladly call my brother in arms

The yankee bastard who wrote this really doesn't know what hes talking about. We southerners have all the right to take pride in are heritage. He fails to understand how the southern people back then were just trying to defend what they had. They wanted to protect their homes, family, and whatever else. The war wasn't really about slavery. It was more with financial issues then anything. The north wanted are land to make more money for there greedy self's. They had no care for the people down here. To them we were just a bunch of "hicks" because of the way we lived. Now if you knew the government wasn't treating you or your people right, wanted you dead, and wanted to take your way of life away. I'm sure you would want to break away from the country to. The Union claimed to fight for their county men and wanted to bring the south back into the US. Although they come down to the south and raped, pillaged, killed, and burned down everything in its their path because of an idea of patriotism? Now see how that seems a little contradictory? Most people are brain washed by the government from what they learned back in school. They don't tell both sides equally. I myself have Confederates in my family tree from back then. Plus I also reenact the Civil War as a Confederate soldier. So I know what I'm talking about. Oh and if you think some old man wrote this. Well guess again. I'm only 19.
ReplyDeleteI have vikings in my family tree, does that make me an expert? Maybe if I reenact some Viking raids ill know even more! I hope you detect my sarcasm because im laying on pretty thick. You sound about 19, because you have no clue what you are talking about....
Delete"I have vikings in my family tree, does that make me an expert?"
DeleteCan you read? becouse if you can and your IQ is greater than your age you shouldnt have a problem doing any research and not just public school history books
The Confederate flag has nothing to do with slavery. I have no idea where these people get there information from, but please look it up online or got the library.
ReplyDeleteYou are clearly in need of a lesson in history. Neither of those flags are the "American Flag". That is to say that neither is the flag which represents the United States Of America.
ReplyDeleteOne Flag is the flag which represent the CONFEDERATE States Of America. The other is the flag which represents the German National Socialits Workers Party. (The NSDAP). And unlike what false mainstream history will teach you, neither represents hate.
Neither NAZIS or Hitler were "anti-semitic". 150,000 jews did after all fight FOR the NAZI party in the German military. It was a Jewish lady by the name of Gertrude Stein who nominated Adolf Hitler for the Nobel Peace Prize. The founder of the SS (Shutzstaffel), was a jewish man named Emile Maurice. Maurice also happened to be Hitlers friend and bodyguard. All of the Guards at Westerbork Concentration camp were jews. There are still jews who defend Hitler. There are also jewish holocaust deniers.
The Waffen SS; which was a division of the Nazi Military, was a multi-ethnic military orginization comprised of black people, Indians and Arabs.
i love the ss and hate blacks!! peace out!! haha
ReplyDelete9-11 was an inside job, learn the truth at www.infowars.com
ReplyDeleteYou people are honestly idiots. Jesse Cane "Hitler wasn't anti-semitic"????? He killed 6 million Jews. He wanted the race of Jewish people eradicated. I'd say thats pretty hateful. To the southerners, I am proud to be a "yankee". The confederacy is NOT heritage, it's hate. One of my great-great grandfathers owned slaves and fought in the civil war as a Confederate and I am so ashamed of that black spot in my family history. Oh, and the person who said " Now if you knew the government wasn't treating you or your people right, wanted you dead, and wanted to take your way of life away. I'm sure you would want to break away from the country to", ever since America was founded the south was fearful that the Northerners would take away the right to own slaves, so when Jackson used force to get South Carolina to pay its taxes in the 1820's they got frightened and worried that the government would take away their "peculiar institution" and so they talked about secession. So, in reality the war was economic for the south, keeping the slaves in order to make money. It disgusts me, I am an ism-ist (I can't get along with people who hate for no reason).
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the two secession attempts by New England in order to abandon their countrymen during the War of 1812 and at the decline of the Federalist party aswell.
Deletefuck you confederate fucks. Yes I hate you. You talk of hating people that hate? Your hate for black americans is UNJUSTIFIED. It is simply discrimination, racism, classism, and jealousy. My hatred is justified. My hatred for you is created to help end an unjust society, an unequal society, to reverse the wrongs that has lead to the inequality today. I am the hate that hate produced. If the remnents of slavery and racism werent so common today then your flag would simply be a flag of ignorance, but because of the inequality today your flag is a symbol of existing opression.
ReplyDeleteNone of you know anything about Civil War History. The Civil war was fought over "States Rights" if you have to sum it up in one word (or two). States rights to do what? Well, the overwhelming social issue of the day (the century really) was weather or not to have slavery. The south was at the time an overwhelmingly agricultural society. Slaves benefited the southern economy greatly, and the south did not want to give that up. True, Lincoln and the north were no saints, they all had racial issues as well (while the south was enslaving blacks because of the color of there skin, the "North" was slaughtering native Americans at genocidal rate, and taking there land away that they had for thousands of years because they were not white either) So, really all of america, south or north, were racists in some way. In the end though, slavery was the overwhelming issue that sparked the war. There were other factors as well, but none so daunting as slavery. And BTW Marc, the north invaded the south because they succeeded from the union. And act of treason, not patriotism as many southerners like to refer to it as.
ReplyDeleteYou need to go back to school because the civil war was a polictical war and any way general Grant a northern general didn't release his slaves until a few months after the war ended.
ReplyDeleteOh yeh by the way I'm a National Socialist (a nazi) and I have black friends and know I'm a nazi. For your information I don't like niggers and they fall on both sides of the fence and you're on the side with the niggers BITCH.
ReplyDeleteQuite a bit of a difference.
ReplyDeleteNazi- World domination and genocide of Jews
CSA- Small government, right to secede, and State rights, evading Lincoln's tyranny.
The Civil War had nothing to do with slavery. Do some research and stop being so ignorant.
The only issue of slavery at the beginning of the Southern Revolution was the spread of it into the west. Lincoln had no interest in abolishing slavery until Grant ,called "The Butcher", started ramping up the death toll by sacrificing so many men just to beat Lee. At that point Lincoln needed a better motive than presevation of the Union to keep morale from dropping sub-par. Besides, there were some black confederates: a single year of service meant permanent freedom.
ReplyDeletewho ever did this is a dick
ReplyDeleteif racism towards blacks is such a big problem, why is the president black?
ReplyDeleteHell apparantly you dont know what
ReplyDeletethe civil war was about. Im wearing my flag when and where i want. The hell with you! You can kiss my rebel ass
