[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand that asking this question invites all kinds of criticism. I am asking sincerely. Help me understand why wearing pretty dresses to a party is racist?

Thank you. [/quote]

Antebellum means the period before war; Antebellum South means the American south pre-Civil War that was dominated by slavery, socially and economically. It's embarrassing to 'party' in this way. It's like having a Holocaust party with Nazi or Hitler Youth uniforms and asking why it's racist or anti-semitic.[/quote]

Not the same thing at all.  There was much in the antebellum South that was not dominated by slavery.  And, FWIW, hoop skirts were also worn in the North.  [/quote]

The slave south was worse than Nazi Germany. And, even though Nazi Germany was horrific, it's not even that close. [/quote]
OMFG.  SMH.  I can't even.  Wow that's just umm, well, you know.  No you surely don't know and are proud of purity too.  You are blinded by your own smugness.[/quote]

Is this a response? What metric would you use to argue that the antebellum South was less monstrous than Nazi Germany? [/quote]
Yes, it's a response.  It's really hard to answer without blowing up this thread and I don't want to do that.  I'll just say that making this comparison is deeply offensive to many Jews.  If you can't see this, I am sorry.  I am not the one to explain it to you. [/quote]
