  1. I certainly would like to hear. I did a quick reply and Im far from perfect and like to learn everyday I did not bring out my notebook so I just went off memory and my studies best I could
  2. Exactly why I think you can't paint the whole South in one light And I meant a hundred thousand Southerners fought for the Union, not 10k So I think everybody realizes the negative impact that slavery had on this country, its an abomination.. but I think it's also equally important, to realize that there were hundreds of thousands of Southerner's who fought to free the slaves, and millions who never owned them That needs to be taught as well I love history I think all parts need to be taught and I'm pretty unbiased to American history because my family is first generation American. My grandfather fled Germany while the Nazis were rising to power
  3. @DrDawkinstein and I agree, there should be more statues of abolitionists, and underground railroad heroes Those are real heroes I do believe there are a few scattered around but not nearly enough
  4. I don't disagree that slavery had a huge impact on the way of southern life, and that some people got fat off of it But there were plenty of Southerners who never owned slaves and fought for the Union and died to free the slaves. Those should be the southerners that are remembered That is the southern history that people should be educated about And it was a good discussion
  5. Besides being a football player scout and Coach my whole life, I do have a history degree and it's a passion of mine And again I don't think you could say anything good about slavery or the Confederacy But the antebellum South was also a way of life , not just about slavery. the north was hustle and bustle and industry The antebellum South was the opposite, slow pace of life, agriculture, no cities Atleast 50% of Southerners didn't own slaves, and not all were for it so it's hard to sometimes say everybody in the antebellum South was for slavery. Over 10000 Southerners fought for the Union. The white poverty level in the antebellum South was very high as well, they weren't all rich Playing devil's advocate, you said there's nothing to be proud of from that time.. what if your ancestors, freed slaves and gave them land and protected them? It happened, and that would certainly make me proud if my family did that As a whole , the time period was the darkest part of our history and there's no excuse for it But with all parts of history, nothing is cut and dry right down the middle. There were good Southerners fighting the good fight
  6. I certainly don't approve of the Confederacy and what they did But the antebellum South was around for a hundred plus years not just 5. That is where their "pride" and I say that loosely.. comes from
  7. I thought that was Billy fucillo ? Lol
  8. Koufax didn't pitch game 1 of the world series during Yom Kippur! Balls.. HUGE
  9. I mean the tribe of Judah has kept pristine records for well over 2000 years. I don't think we ever lost who they were. The northern tribes of Israel is a completely different story
  10. I don't personally know if he is a follower. But his one post that he highlighted, specifically mentioned that black Americans who are The real children of Israel, are basically blackmailed and held back by the fake white Jews
  11. This is just the craziest time period to live in.. A pandemic A progressive pope black Hebrew Israelites arguing with Jewish people from the tribe of Judah over who real Jewish people are Oy vey
  12. That was my go to for a decade when I scored a TD Not dropping the ball before the end zone, but casually dropping the ball in the end zone.. and walking away Problem is you actually gotta score first... Jackson actually did that at the all American game in high school too! Never learned
  13. Dwayne Haskins said that And even though it's totally positive, in a time in this country were everything racial is debated , it realistically is probably best to have a name with no racial component What about the Asian units that served in world war II or native Americans , why don't they get a name? Everything could be such a slippery slope in 2020, it's best to just not touch it
  14. Yes Bobby was the first to Rock the g string
  15. Eyeglasses @Don Otreply
  16. Are you calling me the powers that be? I think you're confusing average white people with the people that actually run this world there are tons of white people in poverty with no wealth and no status who are struggling The average white person does not hate black people, does not put them down, and does not keep them from moving forward The average white person is fighting the same powers that be. We aren't making the laws For some reason my phone spells it with the h instead of a c h and autocorrects it But I'm pretty sure both are correct
  17. Because God passed over the Hebrew people (who became Israelites, then Jewish) during the plague of the first born Pharaoh losing his oldest son while realizing that all the Hebrews were passed over, led to his decision to let the Hebrew people go Hence Passover because they were passed over by the plague of the first born! Go bills!
  18. The union abolished slavery , and hundreds of thousands of white people died to free the slaves I don't think you can put the errors of the antebellum South, upon all the northern states in the Union, and all the men in the Union, white and black, who died for the cause There were way more white people in the country who never owned slaves, then white slave owners. Which again is why making it a race issue just sets things back Because tons of white people died to free the slaves as well.. tons We are all HUMAN
  19. There is only one race The human race And division is why we will never get anywhere. That's a fact Separating things into races and ethnicities is the absolute worst thing that can happen in this world But I'm educated and I can see through all this division BS. I don't care if you're yellow brown black white or an orangutan We are ALL part of the human race
