First off, Sava, you cannot ignore the historical racism that existed in the Northern states.
And Slowwhand, beings I will never be able to strangle an apology from you, I guess I have to drop it. Now, can you drop misportraying me as being a hater of white Southerners?
That past thread I created about states' rights and racism was not anti-Southern. I was pointing out a historical pattern of the Southern states.
Not all states' rights advocates used their position to try to preserve white supremacy -- for instance, a more legitimate issue connected with states' rights, was economic tariff.
I want to stop thread-jacking my thread now.
