Texas Confederate Flag License Plates: Insults From the Uneducated

Like you would chase her off the beach...

Texas is about to launch license plates commemorating the Confederacy. Of course the typical uneducated dolts who believe the Civil War was black and white and about slavery are having a fit.



Over 100 years of rewriting history to turn the North into the good guys and the South into the bad guys has the typical ignorant voices producing the same soundbites.

Mr. Hilary Shelton, with the NAACP in Washington, D.C., said that the Civil War may not be something we want to celebrate.

“When many look at that history, we think about it in terms of secession, that is we were seceding from the Union in the southern parts of the country,” explained Shelton. “Many would view that, quite frankly, as treason, because they meant to actually destroy the existing governmental structure. But when we dig deeper, the issue becomes even more offensive to many African Americans and those that sought freedom for those of darker skin in our country.”

“When you understand the Confederate history, and what it stood for,” said Dallas resident Mark Jones, “it’s directly slapping African Americans in the face.”

Why is it these self-righteous, uneducated people say the same thing every time the rebel flag is flow without looking at the facts. The North had no problem with slavery as long as they could tax every cent they could out of it. Abraham Lincoln came to power not wanting to infringe upon slavery as noted in his Inaugural Address. In Lincoln's own words as evident in his letter to Horace Greeley, the Civil War wasn't fought to free slaves, it was fought to maintain the union.

Yet, once again we have the ignorance thanks to the public school systems on display when it comes the the Civil War and the Confederate flag. The northern states aren't as innocent as they want to make themselves out to be.
