Here is a post from a fellow who took exception to criticism
of the alt-right White Nationalist rally in Charlottesville. Here is what he
wrote on Facebook:
"The extreme racist who started the war in 1860 was
Lincoln. He invaded the nation of the Confederate States of America with the
sole purpose of keeping the tariffs and other taxes flowing from the South to
the North and to make sure that the South had to keep buying expensive Northern
products instead of cheaper imported ones. Every descendant of slaves today
should get down on their knees and thank God that their ancestor was put on
that boat. Blacks in America live better than any nation in Africa. You do
realize that the first slave owner in the British colonies was a black man? You
do realize that it was Yankee ships that brought slaves to the US? Or are you a
total historical illiterate? You do realize that slavery is still practice in
Muslim nations?"
Please note after excusing slavery throughout his paragraph
and criticizing Lincoln as a racist for imposing tariffs(?), he then slams
Muslims for still having slavery in some countries as if that was a terrible injustice
all of a sudden.
This is certainly not the first time someone has told me
that the slaves and their descendants should be thankful; the other times it
was for being indoctrinated into Christianity.
Yes and the White Nationalist rally in Charlottesville was
about free speech. It actually was for crazy speech.
