And as usual the truth is revealed. It's a soap box to stand on for decades now and is still true: If there is a difference of opinion between cultures it's always labeled racism. And the person who is not of the perceived minority is labeled the racist. I've been in "discussions", bickers, arguments, with these minority culture persons and when they can't support their argument or are losing the argument it then becomes: "You just don't like _________ people". Fill in your favorite flavor of arguing or still claiming to be oppressed culture. Recently an entertainer in the rap genre was using a common negative word for a particular ethnic group that they use themselves on each other and freely in public forums. This word has now been adopted by the labeled "white culture" to use on each other and their close friends or "brothers and sisters" in hip-hop, rap, and other similar sub-cultures. This has evolved over the last thirty years or so as new generations try to remove the lines of difference between culture divisions. However in a 'twitter tweet' (tweety bird speak bleah) this rap person was reaching out to his friends and besties. The ugly head of acrimonious racism assault opened it's eager all searching eye and began a barrage of disparaging and condescension. This person responded by saying times have changed, the world has changed, grow the f*** up. (Not an exact quote paraphrased here).
The North attacked the South on the basis of slavery because it has been a winner since the A.D. times. Slavery is, was, and always will be wrong. It is no surprise that the truth of the cheap labor vs. the industrialists is the actual reason for the differences between the two regions. Again can we bring the responsible parties out to explain these actions? No, they're long dead and gone. Peace.
