In Anticipation of Treason-in-Defense-of-Slavery Month
Stephen:
Of course, certain people have issues with this display:
“Robert Hurst, the leader of the local Sons of Confederate Veterans group, calls the display ‘tasteless and offensive,’ and demanded the museum remove it. ‘That display is extremely offensive. It’s very tasteless,” Hurst said. “What they’ve told us, as Southerners, as sons of the Confederacy, is that it’s okay to offend us.'”
Yeah, pretty much. Just like it’s ok to offend neo-Nazis or the KKK or any other group that is organized around either the hatred of other skin colors and/or the celebration of a massive act of treason and organized murder of fellow citizens that is still the bloodiest conflict in American history. The reason for seceeding from the United States was slavery; the documents of the Confederate states make this completely clear. The only concern of theirs for “states rights” was that they retained the right to own slaves.
Well put. See also Loomis…
