South Carolina has a nice one that shows the Hunley.

     I wouldn't step up to a person and state to them that due to their ancestry they  deserved scorn , not a Russian , not an African American, not a Japanese American,not even a Visigoth American.

      But for some reason there is an exception made in normal etiquette for Southern Americans who may be scorned with a feeling of virtue.

The animosity os NOT toward "Southern Americans", but against what the Confederacy stood for, which was racism, racial superiority, slavery, dominance by a tiny bunch of oligarchs over everyone else.

In short, the antebellum Confederacy sucked in the same way that Nazi Germany sucked, in the same way that the Roman Empire sucked, rule by the few over the many, paid for by the many.

  Have you ever made a point of scorning the Roman Empire in frount of some Italians?


    Would you ridicule King Shaka for his cruelty for an African Americans benefit?

      Etc.. etc....

      If you know of an exception of this rule let me know.

Actually, Italians also do this, at least the educated ones. Pretty much every Italian knows the Romans were cruel. That is evident from every crucifix in a country filled with crucifixes.


    Would you ridicule King Shaka for his cruelty for an African Americans benefit?

Not at a benefit. Shaka Zula was an ogre, I am sure that all educated African scholars know this.

Is this a benefit?
