“You can have two different sides, a Northern perspective and a Southern perspective.”
Yeah, and you can have two different theories, like evolution and intelligent design. Why, one’s just as good as the other.
And you can have two different realities. Iraq had nothing to do with flying planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Saddam Hussein set up the whole deal. One’s just as real as the other.
Anyway, here’s what they’re teaching white Christian kids about slavery, down in Pig Snout, North Carolina:
Slavery as it existed in the South was not an adversarial relationship with pervasive racial animosity. Because of its dominantly patriarchal character, it was a relationship based upon mutual affection and confidence.
There has never been a multi-racial society which has existed with such mutual intimacy and harmony in the history of the world.
Slave life was to them a life of plenty, of simple pleasures, of food, clothes, and good medical care.
But many Southern blacks supported the South because of long established bonds of affection and trust that had been forged over generations with their white masters and friends.
Nearly every slave in the South enjoyed a higher standard of living than the poor whites of the South — and had a much easier existence.
Well, I say good-looking intelligent woman want nothing more than to have wild anonymous sex with fat middle-aged bloggers. That’s my theory, and it’s as valid as any other.
Now if there were just some empirical evidence to support it.
