It's real easy to blame the south, the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the statues, and Jim Crow for all the ills the black race suffered since 1865.
Easy and convenient. Too easy.
Which takes the blame off fed gov who either allowed it or orchestrated it all to get the $ flowing again.
Benjamin Beast Butler took numerous black complaints against the white rebellion against reconstruction. They are recorded in the library of Congress. There are historical pictures of former slaves in Washington asking fed gov to stop the guerrilla warfare against them, along with their documented complaints.
History repeatedly records black people asking fed gov to enforce the Constitution for them the same as fed gov did for the white people, damn the red people, let them starve to death. Library of Congress has numerous files on this.
History repeatedly records fed gov doing basically nothing until FDR stomped some people for peonage in ww2, to counter Hitlers propaganda that blacks were still as enslaved then as in 1860.
Until the military began desegregation, until school desegregation, and until the civil rights voting act...
Wasnt the southerners in total, wasnt the UDC, wasnt the statues,
It was the whole United States governance, from 1865 to date. The truth is not lost, just misplaced, there for anyone to find.
The ruling elite, in US governance rose to power and wealth on the backs of poor labor, black, brown, yellow, and whites considered trash.
A very careful study of who used peonage labor to grow wealthy isnt limited to just the south....
But, nobody wants the truth, bc hate and division keeps things status quo. Who in the north wanted blacks kept in low paying jobs. Who in the north fed the kkk growth. Who in the west used and abused Chicano and celestials... who profited ?
Damn sure wasnt a southern statue put up by women.....
Sure, destroy the statues, tear them down, the sooner the better, get that shit gone, and see if it changes anything that "the bullshit" says it will change.
If you disappeared every statue, every name, and every vestige of the history of slavery, how long will it take the world to see absolutely nothing has changed, that black, brown, yellow, and serf white, will still be slaves to the money machine running fed gov.
Jeez....
Anybody else recognize those statues were a "fuck you" to fed gov and the war of northern aggression winners, as much as anything else they are alleged to stand for ?
And fed gov allowed it because it kept the $ flowing... just like fed gov allowed everything to happen to "the races" despite the Constitution, because it kept the $ flowing.
Who is fighting now to keep the $ flowing into their millionaire pockets.... and working to keep the people divided.....
Its damn sure not a statue of a dead person, or even the idea the dead person believed in....
And dig deep enough, you wont find many southern cause descendents being a part of it now.
But, who really gives a shit about the truth anymore, right. ???
