What in the fuck has happened to this thread? This is a fucking recruiting board, we aren't trying to solve societies issues. Everyone sucks.Tequilla said:

Ah yes, I remember a young, scrappy United States conquering Africa.Tequilla said:For the South there was a lot of protecting State's rights and the fact that Washington was tied to advancing the industrial North versus the far more agricultural South ...
Free versus Slave was an issue but only to effect that it was the North dictating to the South how they should handle their business ...
I'm far from advocating slavery (in fact to the contrary) but with the way farms, etc were in those times (heavy manual labor), that's what it was.
Slavery goes back way back into history and was generally what happened to a people when conquered by others in war ...
It's easy to go back and retro QB ... but times were far different than ... we've advanced significantly in the 150 years since then ... just like we will 150 years from now
What I was getting at was that slavery was part of society for Centuries ... so holding the South up (particularly today) for what happened there 150 years ago I just don't get the point. It's part of the past ... thankfully not part of the present and hopefully not part of the future.
I'm sure there are idiots down there that subscribe to the "South Will Rise Again" and would love for slavery. Fuck those people. But making people today in the South feel guilty about what their great great great grandfather did 150+ years ago ... that's stupid too. And there is plenty of pride in those people that they aren't going to disrespect that relative even if they disagree with them.
Anybody that has taken anything I've said as supporting slavery is insanely idiotic ... nothing could be further from the truth.
But at the same time, there's this need and desire in this country to look backwards instead of looking forward. Solving problems requires understanding the past (and the hard truths about it) to find solutions for the future. The past isn't going to change. Striking the past from memory isn't going to change the future. -
What the HELL is going on in the recruiting forum lol.

I support slavery but am against making slaves do labor.

He should come to UW to get away from all those racist ass crackers

People forget that slave owners didn't have to fight. The poor whites fought for the South. The south fought to protect the white patriarchal male privilege that was given a thin veneer of respectability by calling it a code of honor
