I don't think it's possible to be 100% white. I've seen the results from several people who've had their DNA tested, you'd be surprised at the results. I mean, what specific nationalities can be designated as white? There's plenty of Caucasians from warmer climates who are quite dark for being "white".

Further, I would think everyone would have a certain percentage of African lineage even if it's a very small percentage just due to the leading theories of where the first humans were born.

I think the KKK should install protocol for making all it's members take a DNA test to prove they are 100% (99.999 minimum) white to be members to ensure purity continues on... problem solved.

There is just as much hate in an antifa heart as there is a white nationalist heart. They are both rotten but one is a media darling and campus sweetheart.

I have no time for either.

Blame Trump. This is another of his failed promises. He boldly announced during his inauguration that the "carnage ends now!" As if...

Conservatives who tend to defend white nationalists have been outspoken about acts of violence during Resistance protests, mostly aimed at Trump supporters trying to obstruct a protest. Where is the outrage now? Neither side is immune to hateful and violent people on the margins, yet libs are painted as the anti-free speech, violent and destructive unhinged part of the American population among conservative circles.

But this event is an example of American greatness. We are able to let the most hateful among us gather and speak and try to defend them. We are able to let those who oppose their message gather and speak to denounce them. Our democracy and way of life was never threatened. We are still a land of laws and civility. At some point we can let every voice be heard without any person getting killed. But we are not too different from most other parts of the world. Racism and tribalism is alive and well.

The civil war was about slavery. I'm also tired of people trying to rebrand it as something else. Sure there were other disagreements between the state's but if it was important enough that they felt the need to identify it front and center in the individual states declarations of war then it was abou t slavery. That's the excuse they were using for going to war. That's the idea they were rallying their troops and population around... don't try to sugar coat it and try to make it about something else.

It's f÷cking amazing that the same people who claim the other side is trying to rewrite history are trying to obfuscate history.

The Libs are all about free speech, unless they disagree with it. Then, it is branded hate speech.

Read Shelby Foote's The Civil War. You can find several examples of you being wrong on the It Was About Slavery angle.

Are you sure about that? I'm not going to read a 3 volume "2,968-page, 1.2 million-word" book on the civil war written by a novelist, not a historian. So I'll just take your word on it that there's several examples proving me wrong.

oh...
no... no I'm not.

tell me the example and then I can decide if I'm wrong. there.... yeah that's right.

Oh.
As a freebie here's a selection from the Constitution of the Confederate states (ie what they were replacing the US Constitution with):
"4. No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed."

"1. The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states, and shall have the right of transit and sojourn in any state of this Confederacy, with their slaves and other property: and the right of property in said slaves shall not be thereby impaired."

"3. No slave or other person held to service or labor in any state or territory of the Confederate States, under the laws thereof, escaping or lawfully carried into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor: but shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such slave belongs, or to whom such service or labor may be due."

"3. The Confederate States may acquire new territory; and Congress shall have power to legislate and provide governments for the inhabitants of all territory belonging to the Confederate States, lying without the limits of the several states; and may permit them, at such times, and in such manner as it may by law provide, to form states to be admitted into the Confederacy. In all such territory, the institution of negro slavery as it now exists in the Confederate States, shall be recognized and protected by Congress, and by the territorial government: and the inhabitants of the several Confederate States and Territories, shall have the right to take to such territory any slaves lawfully held by them in any of the states or territories of the Confederate states."


But they didn't care about it at all...
I mean... they just wanted to make sure it was mentioned three times in their constitution that it will never be denied to the... and had to throw in that any territory they conquered would become a slave territory.


But it wasn't in any way shape or form an important thing to that side.

Can you f'ing imagine... if they had won? They would have made new york a slave state.

How this doesn't bother you amazes me.
