I'm not sure which is worse, your misreading/misunderstanding of the context of the original post, or the claims of "running away". I mean, that is some kind of superiority delusions being posted.So, when faced with the fact that racism wasn't at the root of issues between the north and south, as both sides were racist against the black man.... you decide to claim this...
And then tuck tail and run.
Noted....

You are not reading my posts, I asked you what percent of segregationists voted for Thurmond...because you brought it up:
Someone mentioned Strom Thurmond so I merely reminded them that he was not the only one who switched parties. But there must have been more segregationists in this state than I know about because he managed to get reelected about 5 danged times.
You admit there were a lot of them, I just hoped you had some insight into the level of support he had among segregationists, which is why I asked you to elaborate.
Why do you keep on insisting that you think you understand the context of the post....even after it was implied that you ought to do a tiny bit of research?Or is it you can't bring yourself to admit that racism had little to do with the quarrel between the north and south.... and that the north is no more "righteous" than the south when it comes to racism?
The Slavery dispute between the north and south was about economics against morality. Not racism against racial equality.
I never asked for "polls", I asked for your insight on a subject you commented on. If you have really no idea what you are talking about, I'll accept that answer too.How many times do I have to tell you that there is not exactly any polls taking anyone's views on race on election day.
So here we are again, you are saying you have some insight into this topic, but you won't give any estimates on the percentage of segregationists that supported Thurmond or Helms.There is really no way to know their views. However knowing the good ol boy network like I do, its not surprising if there are more segregationists than I know about here. Same holds true for both Carolinas.
1. I may not agree with you on much but you,
2. sir?/ma'am?,
3. are no moron.

You keep repeating what I am not asking for, you haven't expanded on what you supposedly do have some insight on, you just keep on avoiding the subject you brought up, segregationists. I can understand your trepidation in discussing them, what I don't understand is this attempt to divert with an ad hominem about the region I live in. We have lots and lots of racists here, they just go after Mexicans, but it is almost the same story, one of hypocrisy, lies and revisionism. I have a fairly good idea on what percentage of segregationists supported Helms and Thurmond (it was very high) and I didn't need you to confirm it, it was more a test to see how honest you could be about it....and you answered that.I am tired of repeating myself because you can't seem to comprehend. Of course being from the Southwest that makes sense. You really have to live here to get a feel for things
Should the Confederate Flag be removed/abolished?
I say no. The argument is that it represents racism and slavery. That is stupid. So does the American Flag.
Who cares whose ethnicity is what? My ethnicity if you want to call it that is English, Irish, and Scottish on mom's side with a little bit of French and German on dad's side thrown in for good measure. Also my great grandfather was a member of the Yakama nation. BOY did he hate the Japanese though! They would have stayed in interment camps forever if he had his way! Still ethnicity doesn't matter. Why you keep assuming things I don't know.
3. You are denying me part of my charm?
No. As of 1860 there were actually more free blacks in the south than in the north. Black Confederates had much more freedoms than those in the north. This war was not about slavery, It was about power & control for Lincoln who is the biggest racist of them all. Oh & he LOVED the Marxists.Sure, what if? Yet, for the north it was built-in to the DNA of our republic. If you can show me anywhere in the founding documents of the confederacy, any intention or desire to make all men free and equal, I will gladly stand corrected.
You really don't have to continue running away from the question. We've got the answer. Anything you post now is just more evidence of the supremacist tendencies your granddaddy instilled in you.
:lamoSo I guess you don't care that they were tired of being heavily taxed to pay for the war of 1812 then
Any state that joined the Confederacy....was "all about" slavery. It was the economic and ideological cornerstone of the Confederacy.
The states right's to keep slaves maybe? Also, the states that seceded, were engaged in a war against the United States Government. Fort Sumter anyone? They started the war because a man they deemed "hostile to slavery" was elected President.
Frankly my dear, I don't give a d***. Rhett Butler/Gone with the Wind
Are 97 of the nation's 100 poorest counties in red states? | PolitiFactJust like every blue state today does their best to keep their black population in poverty to buy their votes.
What does that mean?
Know what they say about assuming?
