More Facts about slavery : 13) While the war is now represented as an altruistic crusade by the North to free the slaves the historical facts could not be more contradictory. The 1860 Republican Convention contained a platform plank promising protection for slavery everywhere it currently existed. Lincoln at his first inaugural address offered a constitutional amendment forever protecting slavery. A Congressional Resolution in 1862 reaffirmed the war’s aim was to “preserve the Union, not free the slave”. 14) The Emancipation Proclamation was met in the North by laws collectively known as “Black Codes”. These laws forbade entry, travel, work or residence by African-Americans in Northern states. The Proclamation was nothing but a clever ruse to stall imminent European recognition of the Confederacy. It freed no one. Slave states remaining in the Union (in the border states) not only retained their slaves, but also benefited from the strictest enforcement of the hated Fugitive Slave Law

From the Historical Biography " Lincoln Unmasked":
Lincoln was a white supremacist all his life (as were most white people of his era) and it was actions such as this that caused some of the most prominent abolitionists to vigorously denounce him and his regime as phonies and fakes with regard to their pronouncements about human freedom. I devote a chapter to such denunciations by the great libertarian/abolitionist from Massachusetts, Lysander Spooner.

Flags are symbols. Of course they stand for something. This flag stands for racism, a defeated country that divided the United States, rebellion, and 600,000 Americans dead.

I was attempting to make it a dialogue dear seminole county reposter, but unfortunately it was not to be. And after seeing the comments on here diminishing and demeaning the work of the Dalai Lama,....well,... There is just no need for me to participate on that level of willing refusal to understand or even consider. You keep going though. Bravo. I might not like your tactics, but I sure like your tenacity. I however, have gone on to some great conversations, including with people I completely disagree with. I never want to come on here just to talk to those who have the exact same opinion as me. I hope to learn and grow and push against the boundaries of my own thoughts. Others, as it appears quite from this individual, have the exact opposite wish. Without growth, without stretching ourselves and our boundaries of thought, we stagnate - firmly provable on this blog line. All my best reposter, Fight the good fight,...or hell, fight the nasty fight. It really does not matter with this person.

If blacks don't like it, they should just celebrate it by buying a bunch of little confederate flags and wave them in front of the big one and celebrate it. This way, the white people who arent racist but like the flag for heritage purposes will be relieved and the TRUE racist who like the flag for racist reasons will somehow not feel so special anymore. LOL, wouldnt that be a hilarious mind-boggling mind f*ck?! Ha, the more I think about it, the more I want to start a campaign to have all the blacks wave confederate and swastika flags and wear them on their shirts and chant, "We love America!!!!" LOL. Then what will happen? Jaw dropping "duuuhhh's" will be all people will be able to muster. Damn it, what would they do then if nobody cares? Start a race war of course, lol. "You hate whites? Then we wanna start a race war!!" "Oh, you guys DON'T hate us and you're flying our flags with pride?! Gosh darnit. You guys dont even feel bad? Then We're gonna start a race war!" LOL
