A BLACK MANS VIEW ON THE CONFEDERATE MONUMENTS Update pg6
Hello all

first a little about me , 28yo black male from Texas , I'm a mechanic at a dealership, Avg hard working man who takes care of the wife and kiddos
Any who

I don't watch the news too much so I may or may not have the just of the issue but here goes

1 one mans hero is another mans villan
2 war monuments are earned with blood
3 reguardless of race people need to respect the fact that this is someone's heratige

Maybe I'm stupid but General Robert E Lee and many other deserve respect because anyone who is willing to die for what they believe in deserves respect.

Here are some of my understandings of the reason there was a war of northern aggression lol ( or the southern aggression )

1 slavery wasn't the main reason , I believe it was a weapon used by the north but I could be wrong ( think about it )

2 the south produced a lot in terms of agriculture and then they had high taxes who tvg the south saw little of in terms of representation ( sound like the revolution to me )

3 a lot of the norths businesses didn't have the man power and resources the south had at the time with the help of slavery ( they were just trying to get rich at least they were honest , now places like Enron fuck you behind your back )

4 slaves were a necessity all that work in the fields without modern machines is a cluster fuck , is it a ugly part of history yea sure but I'm glad my ancestors paid the price so I didn't end up in Africa fuck that shit, so I thank my ancestors for making the trip and dealing with the bull shit

It's country Christian farmers and ranchers living modest vs the fat cat type folks in the city who accepted non Christian beliefs wway back then
KINDA SOUNDS LIKE TODAY

I guess if this is rambling I'm sorry
I'll get to the point

People died for that monument and its part of my heratige because without it people forget where they came from as a black man I'm pissed that a bunch of people wanna destroy my heratige

Also to the black people that is all booty hurt this part is for yall
If you think a bunch of honkeys give 2 shits about a bunch of salves your stupid there was alterior motives..thay didn't care then and they don't care now wake the heck up

We're just a small piece of some fat cats agenda to line his own pocket THEY NEVER LOVED US were blacks come on man

Bash me idgaf maybe it's rambling but who gives a shit I needed to ventflip

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear."

Good Post OP!
Yes the Civil War was started because of Federal Power Over Reach. Lincoln changed his mind on Slavery and offered to free Slaves in exchange for them fighting for the North(They were losing). Of course Slavery is horrible in any form and is good that it was abolished. There were plenty of proud Black Men that fought for the South because they knew what they were fighting for. Unfortunately most people do not know their true History.

Re: A BLACK MANS VIEW ON THE CONFEDERATE MONUMENTS Update pg6
Ehh for me it's not really about the monuments or even the heritage. Honestly if it's being targeted by the left then it falls under my protection, even those stupid nationalists socialists. I certainly do not think any part of their platform is applicable to my desires however they have the right to believe in it and even peruse it through peaceful means. I would not hesitate to end them if they tried violent revolution but so far it's been the antifa soros groups attacking and democrat mayors/governors allowing it to happen.

Sadly the few deaths are only the beginning with trumps (rightfully) refusal to back down and cuck out to the left their will be further violence. I am starting to welcome it as these cry baby liberals won't stop until they suffer heavy losses out side of the political arena.

Black and white.Just as the black man you do not think a white man, a poor man then was suppressed? They are no different then than today. Maybe then it was top 10 percent versus our one percent with money and power but history repeats itself.

OP I hope you are black and keep preaching this message. We are what we are, period. If you had a bunny rabbit raise you okay so be it so what? I find it amazing that if you look up history we all did each other and our DNA is woven together. But try telling a white or black dude that lol.

Obviously, we can't be sure if you are telling the truth that you are a black man.

That said, if you are, you've earned my respect and the respect of many others on this site. As a descendant of multiple men who fought on the side of the CSA, I wish more people had the perspective and understanding that you do.

As you said in your #1 point, one man's hero is another man's villain.

The "victors" are the ones who write the narrative, as we all know.

Most fail to recognize that had the Colonials failed in their revolt against the Crown, they would be regarded as treasonous, hateful, bigoted bastards who hated Natives and enslaved Africans. But, because they won, they're lauded as heroes.

The same stands true with the Confederate States.

Lincoln himself was one of the most egregious offenders when it came to bigotry and hate against the black man (and to the Native Americans), despite the rosy picture that history books want to paint of him. Wilkes Booth gave him the just retribution that was coming to him.

I hope you are able to share your wisdom and understanding with your neighbors. One day – when the elite continue pushing and extending their hunger for complete power – maybe then will many finally come to understand the principles that men like Lee fought for.

It's a fallacy for 21st century Americans to project our own thoughts, beliefs, and lifestyles onto people who lived in a very, very different world than we did.

Just like today, men of that time were focused on providing and protecting for their families and friends and their livelihood.

Thank you for your thoughts, sir.

This is why it's so important - more now than ever before - that people start thinking of one another not based on his or her race, ethnicity, gender, nationality, religion, sexuality, but based on whether he or she is liberal or conservative.

Knuckle-headed liberalism is evident in all groups of people. It's a disease seen throughout the world. It has screwed up more cities, societies and nations.

A lack of logic, common sense, honesty and common decency - and a fake form of kindness and caring - are traits seen in so many liberals. They are major flaws found in humans in general.

Libtardism needs to be seen as and treated like cancer.

Hello all

first a little about me , 28yo black male from Texas , I'm a mechanic at a dealership, Avg hard working man who takes care of the wife and kiddos
Any who

I don't watch the news too much so I may or may not have the just of the issue but here goes

1 one mans hero is another mans villan
2 war monuments are earned with blood
3 reguardless of race people need to respect the fact that this is someone's heratige

Maybe I'm stupid but General Robert E Lee and many other deserve respect because anyone who is willing to die for what they believe in deserves respect.

Here are some of my understandings of the reason there was a war of northern aggression lol ( or the southern aggression )

1 slavery wasn't the main reason , I believe it was a weapon used by the north but I could be wrong ( think about it )

2 the south produced a lot in terms of agriculture and then they had high taxes who tvg the south saw little of in terms of representation ( sound like the revolution to me )

3 a lot of the norths businesses didn't have the man power and resources the south had at the time with the help of slavery ( they were just trying to get rich at least they were honest , now places like Enron fuck you behind your back )

4 slaves were a necessity all that work in the fields without modern machines is a cluster fuck , is it a ugly part of history yea sure but I'm glad my ancestors paid the price so I didn't end up in Africa fuck that shit, so I thank my ancestors for making the trip and dealing with the bull shit

It's country Christian farmers and ranchers living modest vs the fat cat type folks in the city who accepted non Christian beliefs wway back then
KINDA SOUNDS LIKE TODAY

I guess if this is rambling I'm sorry
I'll get to the point

People died for that monument and its part of my heratige because without it people forget where they came from as a black man I'm pissed that a bunch of people wanna destroy my heratige

Also to the black people that is all booty hurt this part is for yall
If you think a bunch of honkeys give 2 shits about a bunch of salves your stupid there was alterior motives..thay didn't care then and they don't care now wake the heck up

We're just a small piece of some fat cats agenda to line his own pocket THEY NEVER LOVED US were blacks come on man

Bash me idgaf maybe it's rambling but who gives a shit I needed to ventflip

Reasoning things out puts you hundreds of steps ahead of most.

On the statement in bold above - it's more profound than even that, and for all of us. None of us living would be alive if a damned thing were changed in the biological flow (history were changed) over the millions of years in the past. It had to be EXACTLY what it was up until our conception or we wouldn't be. That means all 'black" Americans descending from slaves owe their existence to exactly what happened - every single second of it - the captures, surviving the voyages, and on and on down to all trivial things. If people don't like the conditions that were absolutely 100% necessary for their existence, maybe they should spare the rest of us their insufferably ignorant complaints and put an end to their suffering and ours.

Re: A BLACK MANS VIEW ON THE CONFEDERATE MONUMENTS Update pg6
Obviously, we can't be sure if you are telling the truth that you are a black man.

That said, if you are, you've earned my respect and the respect of many others on this site. As a descendant of multiple men who fought on the side of the CSA, I wish more people had the perspective and understanding that you do.

As you said in your #1 point, one man's hero is another man's villain.

The "victors" are the ones who write the narrative, as we all know.

Most fail to recognize that had the Colonials failed in their revolt against the Crown, they would be regarded as treasonous, hateful, bigoted bastards who hated Natives and enslaved Africans. But, because they won, they're lauded as heroes.

The same stands true with the Confederate States.

Lincoln himself was one of the most egregious offenders when it came to bigotry and hate against the black man (and to the Native Americans), despite the rosy picture that history books want to paint of him. Wilkes Booth gave him the just retribution that was coming to him.

I hope you are able to share your wisdom and understanding with your neighbors. One day – when the elite continue pushing and extending their hunger for complete power – maybe then will many finally come to understand the principles that men like Lee fought for.

It's a fallacy for 21st century Americans to project our own thoughts, beliefs, and lifestyles onto people who lived in a very, very different world than we did.

Just like today, men of that time were focused on providing and protecting for their families and friends and their livelihood.

Thank you for your thoughts, sir.
