[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make no mistake. The North was/is just as racist as the South. Instead of slavery, the northern states found other ways to suppress blacks and minorities, including segregated housing laws, under-funding education and other social service agencies, and the "strategic" placement of Interstate highways and other expressways. I grew up in MA. New England also had the ability to use centuries-old town boundaries to enforce segregated communities, creating some of the most lopsided inequality in the country. Check out Lawrence. Check out Mattapan. Check out Hartford. This notion that the north is somehow morally superior to the south on matters of race is complete and utter BS. There remains much more to the story than slavery.[/quote] Celebrating the Confederacy is more than celebrating slavery and racism, it’s also celebrating treason. Lee and Jackson were US traitors.
