I hope Sam gets a new home. History is for everyone, good or bad. Not someone's close-minded interpretation.

"The present generation, I am persuaded, scarcely takes note of what the Confederate soldier meant to the welfare of the Anglo Saxon race during the four years immediately succeeding the war, when the facts are, that their courage and steadfastness saved the very life of the Anglo Saxon race in the South When "the bottom rail was on top" all over the Southern states, and to-day, as a consequence the purest strain of the Anglo Saxon is to be found in the 13 Southern States Praise God.

That language is reminiscent of that of many of the intellectual liberal elites throughout the 19th and first half of the 20th century. It wasn't until the horrors of the holocaust came to light after World War 2 that the so-called "scientific" basis for racial superiority was discarded into the ash bin of history.

Today's liberal "elites" try to use examples from the past, like this, to make the rest of us appear like moral Neanderthals. In reality, it was the direct ancestors of those today's intellectual elites that provided the intellectual justification and leadership for the very behavior that they decry today.

No, and I apologize for the confusion. After the Civil War, and up until World War 2, the idea that blacks were genetically inferior to whites and should be removed from the human DNA was an idea common among and widely spread by the western academic and intellectual elites.

The German "Final Solution" was the logical and perhaps inevitable consequence of that thinking, and it also provided the basis for the origins of Planned Parenthood (a government sponsored and organized effort to reduce the number of black babies and other "undesirable" babies).
