[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ I'm only an asshole toward backward racists.

Unlike you who's stuck being a full-time backward racist.[/quote]
Where have I said anything that would deem me a racist?  I think perhaps it is you who may have an issue with certain groups of people.[/quote]

Your support for the racist Confederacy and its racist President Jefferson Davis.  By the way, you DO know that the CSA Constitution specifically added language making it illegal to pass any law repealing slavery?

CSA Constitution, Article I, Section 9, (4) "No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed."[/quote]
See, here is where you are wrong and show your true colors.  No where did I give or show support of Davis's views of slavery.  You, in your own bigoted way, came up with that conclusion.  I'm merely pointing out his historical significance.[/quote]

You are still glorifying a racist who brought the country to war and caused the deaths over 620,000 Americans over slavery.[/quote]

His racist views on slavery are the most notable thing about him and what he stood for.  Showing support for Jefferson Davis is the same as showing support for his racist views.  His views cannot be separated or rationalized away.[/quote]
Are you proposing all slave owners should be stripped of their historical significance?[/quote]

I propose not honoring the ones who were responsible for tearing the country apart and causing hundreds of thousands to be slaughtered as part of their foul agenda to not only keep the institution of slavery in place, but to expand it into the western territories - that's precisely what the leadership of the CSA and Confederate army did.   Their place is in a textbook as instigators of civil war, as racists, and ultimately as losers, presented historically and accurately in that context.

If your notion was to suggest we equate "slave owners" and thus ban Washington or Jefferson also because they were also slave owners, sorry, you are totally barking up the wrong tree - Washington and Jefferson never did anything even remotely as vile as what the conspirators of the CSA did.[/quote]
