    Amateurism in D1 sports is modern day slavery! Sike.

    Missing my point big time

    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.

    This a copy pasta?
