But this shit is beyond stupid. Not every northerner was pro abolition and not every southerner was pro slavery. Even if that was true it (and of course it isn't) it was a different time than it is now. Knock the stupid shit off and quit reopening old wounds. Let the men rest in peace. [/quote] I best if they had to do it over again most of them would take tell the white plantation owners to fight for their own economic prosperity at their expense. Like I said, it was no fun being white in the south. Unless you had money you were less than a nigra. [/quote] Fun? Yeah, Americans worked hard on their own land, raised their own food, went to bed with the chickens, got up before sunrise, made their own music and entertainment and went to church on Sunday. What do you call, "fun."? And nearly every other person in the world would have traded places with them for the simple fact Americans were free, armed and not hungry and not being persecuted for religious and political reasons. [/quote] Good point, Success is happiness , freedom and independence. How do you think you can improve on how my people lived before the whites came? [/quote] Well figure it this way, if Charles Martel hadn't pushed back the Muslims at the Battle of Tours, the American Indian would have been dealing with Muslims not Europeans. And you still be bitching. Or maybe not. Because the Muslims would have killed every one of you heathens. [/quote]

"If passed as-is, this amendment would require that the federal government desecrate the graves of 482 Confederate soldiers buried in Arlington National Cemetery. The soldiers are buried in a circle around a massive, 106-year-old monument commemorating the Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. Every President since Teddy Roosevelt has laid a wreath at this monument. Yes, that includes Barack H. Obama. He paid his respects to the Confederate dead buried in Arlington back in 2009.
Warren's amendment would require that the memorial be removed from the grounds of Arlington. It is impossible to do this without disturbing the grave sites around the monument…
But it actually gets worse. Elizabeth Warren's amendment is so poorly written that while it gives an exception for gravestones, it does not exempt the graves themselves. Since being buried in Arlington is considered an honor, a literal reading of Warren's bill would require these Civil War soldiers to be exhumed and moved off the premises. Just think about how small of a person someone would have to be to write an amendment in 2020 that could force the exhumation of 482 Civil War soldiers because they disagree with the cause they fought for…
Even in a best case scenario, the graves would get to stay, but Arlington wouldn't be able to advertise where they're located. No signage… no mention in the maps… no helpful directions from staff… Anyone who has ever been to Arlington looking for a specific grave knows it is next to impossible to do without help and directions. So best case, the Confederates get to stay buried, but no one would be allowed to know where they are…"
