American talking heads are victims of the most grotesque ignorance that I have witnessed when it comes to American history. Dumb Americans. ABE LINCOLN WAS NOT AN ABOLITIONIST!!
Americans are blissfully ignorant. All they want to hear is that Lincoln walked on water, Northern states were the land of good living for blacks, slavery was created by Southern whites and all blacks were in chains being lashed. That's their story and they are sticking to it! You simply can't argue with stupid, especially American Stupid because it is a stubborn peasant stupid.
Even without the Civil War slavery would have ended due to pressures from Europe and other supposedly civilized countries, stepping up attacks on slavery being an inhumane practice. Slavery was already being banned in the French, Portuguese, Dutch and Spanish colonies. Racial slavery, was only found in the Northern slave colonies and after slavery-they kept the racial politics and spread this into the Southern U.S. to Southern whites.
But, notice that every Euro country that wanted to end slavery, had already allowed the benefits of slavery to run its course, then after reaping the rewards of a slave society & growing very rich-then England decided to bitch about slavery. France & Spain didn't have the philosophy that slaves (African or Natives of the Americans/Hispanics) were non-humans. This dehumanizing was started by the Dutch (the inventors of European slavery) and the British.
African Americans, have allowed whites into making them think that Lincoln was Jesus and the Northern U.S. was the land of milk & honey! They have allowed their dumb black kids to be brought up without the knowledge that it was a push, by Northern Whites, to come up with a race based society, where blacks would forever be at the bottom due to bitching by Northern Whites complaining that blacks in the Southern U.S. owned more than they owned. This was a factor in Lincoln stepping up attacks on the Southern colonies!
Lincoln was getting bitched out by Northern Whites, particular in New York and Boston, that those Niggers in the South had land, homes and in some cases, the poor Irish were being employed by people of color in La. because no other whites wanted to deal with them, including the so called Virginia Scott-Irish.
The main bitch from the Yankee politicians, wasn't about slavery but the fact that the South had too many upwardly mobile blacks & wealthy whites. All of the historic black schools & colleges are located IN THE SOUTHERN U.S. Go find me a historic black school in New York built in the 1800's! Good luck!
Just two years ago the city of New York was trying to tear down parts of the under ground rail road in Brooklyn to build condos! The North is so desperate to add black heritage to their white ghetto cities, that CNN went so far, as to get a New York journalist, to run a special saying that Jazz was born in Harlem! Harlem just got black people moving there around the 1920's. New Orleans' Blacks and Creoles were playing jazz for hundreds of years, when Harlem was an all white area of Manhattan & the word "jazz" wasn't in the Yankee vocabulary!
Jazz didn't even really start "poppin" in New York until around the 1930's and it was never the dominant music of Harlem because the famous Cotton Club mimicked New Orleans blacks, as jungle bunnies who played music & denied blacks admission to the club. So, the N.Y. music Harlem scene was an offensive take on New Orleans Jazz musicians because the Yankee whites & Jews (Remember Jews & Italians in the North East were trying very hard to be white people around this time but in the South, they still were considered to be "colored people" & I don't know if that has even changed in the South) thought that this was entertainment! Yet, CNN says that jazz was born in Harlem, N.Y.!
Most of the jazz musicians, were imported from the South. 1960's black writer, Langston Hughes, always has a character named "Creole" when writing about the N.Y. music scene. Nothing original came out of Harlem, N.Y. because the black writers, like Zora Hurston, credited as being apart of the Harlem Renaissance, was from Florida!
James Carville, of New Orleans, is really on television talking about this Virginia Civil War Confederate hype, but never mentioning the role of the Democratic Party in the slave trade and that Democrats were the party that built an entire platform over preserving slavery. If your demanding honesty from the Gov. of Virginia then why not demand honesty about the Democratic Party?
MSNBC, has that youtube Turkish immigrant from Los Angeles, named Cenk, who has a Youtube show-speaking out against Virginia and the Confederate Month! This is the best that these people can get?? A Turkish immigrant, wants to tell me something about America?? Please!
(This girl is from a Louisiana Creole family(mother side), with roots going back to the 1600's in the South (longer if we talk about the Choctaw side of her) and Cenk, a Turkish immigrant, who got here, from the Mosque, yesterday thinks that he should be able to tell Beyonce how she should act as a woman of color! )
This idiot, Cenk, has made comments about Beyonce supposedly thinking she is white (married to Jay-Z) because, according to his Youtube show, Beyonce doesn't fit the stereotypes that he has of blacks in America! So, who the hell is MSNBC to drag this idiot (The Turk) across the t.v. and have a view about Virginia?
- The U.S. Media seeks out dumb people. You only see uninformed crazy whites, talking about the South. We only see the disgruntled Arab talking about the Middle East or the trained black, picking up all of their knowledge from Essence Magazine!
There's certain people, that you will not see in the "lame stream" media & local media outlets because the network heads, have to try and maintain an "image" of having their know-nothing journalist appear smart, when in essence many of them are just mindless puppets.
CNN is the worse offender. One minute they are bitching about Texas rednecks taking Thomas Jefferson out of history books, and being that Texas is the state which supplies other states with history books, it is very easy to see that changing and deleting history for politics, is a common practice in the U.S. ruling out any intelligent person from saying that Lincoln fought the Civil War because he was passionate about ending slavery and my argument is unchallengeable because I learned about it in an American history book! That is like arguing a Supreme Court case with facts from Marvel Comics or worse yet...The N.Y. Times!
The American talking cable news heads, who just sound more and more ignorant, the more you watch these rotating click of cable news guest, are saying that being from California or Boston, they really had nothing to do with the Civil War but then goes on to talk about the South this and the South that!!??
One talking head, on cable news was discussing the Virginia Confederate month and saying that he didn't have to learn about the Civil War because he was from Boston and grew up in California state! This is why media and people with platforms are so trivial and doesn't deal with facts. The lack of knowledge and handle on any authentic American history has been lost. This California guest goes on to talk about the Japanese Prison Camps in California.
O.K. lets get into California and the Civil War. California was a state government divided, like many states. States that were divided, under Abe Lincoln, were given a choice to have slavery or not. Lincoln was not trying to deal with slavery. The U.S. had about 10 other wedge issues, that were priorities to Lincoln and slavery was not one of them. Slavery was being used as a political talking point, to inflame people to action, but both the Union and the Confederate couldn't care less about slavery. This was strictly a battle over economic policy and taxation. Rich, white Southern men didn't want to pay taxes (and they still dont! Under Bush over 90% of the wealthy elites paid NO INCOME TAX during Bush's second term) and felt that Lincoln was over taxing the South.
Chief Justice David Terry, a Democrat who was pushing for slavery in California and thought that he had a real good chance at getting Lincoln to make Ca. a slave state being that Lincoln was making other free states into slave states, had already started pushing for slavery out West, about two years before the Civil War even started.
Under Abe Lincoln, California state could have also become a slave state being that Lincoln was making Kansas into a slave state because he needed labor for the expansions of railroads.
The first gun fights leading to the Civil War, were all coming out of California state because those idiots, were really fighting over slavery due to the propaganda that was coming from the Southern Plantation Owners!
Keep in mind that the cities of Los Angeles and SanDiego were founded by BLACK PEOPLE! Blacks definitely shaped America & Blacks had more prosperity in the South (even more so than the newly arrived whites) than any other region in this country. The stupidity of today's Southern whites is that they think that they built all of these cities and weren't the biggest welfare cases in America.
There were entire areas of North Carolina, South Carolina & Louisiana that were run by Free Blacks, with no slaves at all! Blacks didn't have anything in the Northern states but fighting resentment of the newly arrived Euro-trash. What American text books leaves out about the Underground Railroad and Harriet Tubman, was the fact that she was taking blacks all the way into Canada.
The Slavery issue was like Bush/Cheney using gay marriage to drive voter turn out in 2004. They couldn't care less about gays and getting married, they were too busy lining their pockets through War Profiteering! They were manipulating Americans but Lincoln had already cut deals to maintain slavery because some Western whites, were bitching that they didn't have slaves. Painting him as abolitionist was a propaganda lie being told by wealthy Southern plantation owners, to inflame Southern and Northern whites against Lincoln but saying Lincoln was an abolitionist is like saying Obama is a citizen of Kenya,Africa......maybe from Indonesia but not Kenya!
Honesty, the South got so pissed off behind this Northern rule when they lost the Civil War, that it can be said, that slavery was ended by the South. They freed the slaves and then in turn tried to lynch and kill them all!
Before the Civil War there was a plantation in Louisiana where all the African slaves were coming in from the Angola part of Africa, because the African heads were selling them to the whites. After the Civil War, all Lincoln said was, "Hey shut down the plantation but put up a prison for the blacks instead!" Today, that former plantation is now a prison called ANGOLA! So, blacks shouldn't be fooled by neither side of this mess. Blacks look really dumb defending the North and Lincoln. They sound like a trained Yankee slave.
(Angola,Africa. Why aren't Black leaders demanding reparations from Angola? Because Angola was selling their own people, left & right, to pass through the port city of New Orleans, Louisiana. Every time a Free Black or Creole of Color walked by Congo Square-there was yet another shipment from the Congo or Angola! Even after Lincoln was in office, Northern states were STILL demanding & getting these Africans shipped up the Mississippi River to states like Missouri, which Lincoln NEVER demanded that they end slavery in that Northern state; along with many other Northern states! So, please Yankees & miseducated Negroes. Give me a break!)
This fact is staring us in the face when we read the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, so I defy anyone to try and change that history because it is chiseled in stone! All of these issues, that blacks could address and they want to focus on a flag???
(Black people-"Ohh we so scared of the Confederate Flag! What does it mean? White Southern people are flying it! Please Mr. Yankee Flag, we loves your flag! You Yanks been so good to us!")
California has more Corporate Built Prisons-for-Profit, than any other state!
After the Civil War in places like New York, the prisons were built in these poor, jobless ethnic white areas aka "The Niggers with White Skin" simply as a way for whites to have jobs. So, this is what came after the Civil War also. Blacks moved up North only to be jailed, so that whites could have a job!
Even til this day, the North ships blacks and hispanics from urban areas to rural white areas & all the whites work at the prison in that town. This practice has resulted in the severe under-funding of black schools and services for black areas and the over funding of white areas, being that black inmates are counted in the areas, which they are jailed.
Then to add insult to injury, after the Democratic Party was the party of the slave owners for hundreds of years, in the 1980's, it was the Democrats that came up with these long and crazy prison sentencing for blacks in urban areas! So, lets keep it real!
Black Democrats gutted their own communities of black men and came up with the "nanny state." Blacks can't keep being fooled by Democrats, for this dam long. I am not saying that Republicans are the path-I am saying that blacks need to hold these people accountable.
O.K. Democrats passed a Civil Rights Bill(many voted against it), which has destroyed the black professionals and black businesses but HEY...at least you get to sit on side of a white man on a bus! Yeah, big ass win huh?
What happened to Creoles after the Civil War and under the new Yankee America?
There was no such thing as Reconstruction. Reconstruction meant, that now any free person of color or Creole, with any wealth, had to sell land to the government and leave the country or accept your role as a second class citizen BECAUSE THIS IS HOW THE NEW UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT POST-CIVIL WAR WANTED IT DONE! This entire concept was the desire of Northern Whites. The Irish, from the North, were particularly upset that they were the white Niggers but blacks, down South, had homes and property. The fun and festive French Quarter, that everyone likes, is there (full of whites) due to American racism and the fact that no one really intended on having a slave-less society, including Lincoln, but now he had to step into the role that the South forced him into during a campaign of illusions. The scare tactics used by the South against Abe Lincoln, have some how been taken as actual facts in the mind of Americans.
Creoles of Color in New Orleans, were the ones who help put the Mexican Indians in power, when Europe was killing them all and America told Creoles, that we now had a system in America, where they couldn't own more than whites (a Yankee agenda)-we got passage to France, French Canada and Mexico.
Benito Juarez, fled Mexico because Europeans put a price on his head and he was protected by Creoles of Color in New Orleans. He didn't even bother with all of the pockets of ignorant Mexican-Indians in Mexico, to hide, because they were colonized Indians, that sold each other out. Juarez knew that his only hope was to make it into Creole dominated New Orleans,La. Creoles of Color-educated this man and when he returned to Mexico, he went on to be President of that Country. Yet, Creoles of Color are left out of the educating of Benito Juarez and the military training that he learned from Creoles when it came to fighting the French.
The Mexican celebration of "Cinco de Mayo" should really be called "Cinq de Mai" being it was the New Orleans Creoles of Color that set up Mexicans for their Independence-and from looking at the dumb, silly, trivial & corrupt Mexicans of today, it was nothing but a waste of time.
Mexicans & Central Americans, in 2010, are over flowing into America & knocking every other minority(including American Latinos) and working class white person, back to the days of being peasants for the few elites.
If you knew and understood history, you couldn't in any sane mind support amnesty or illegal immigration because it is a corporate slave scam that was hatched out of corrupt greed.
The only reason why Native Americans have their reservations and territories in the Southern U.S., is from the negotiation and leadership of Southern blacks. But now all of a sudden when the Federal Gov. started issuing checks to the tribes, the "Indians" want to pick up on the Jim Crow "One Drop Rule" and call the Native American/Black mixed tribesmen, "not real Native Americans!"
All the military leaders of the Native Americas, in the South-East, were the Free Blacks, but yet all we get are these Hollywood films on Geronimo. The Native Americans, of the South East, were weak then and they are weak and dumb now! They should be thanking Southern blacks that they have their reservations.
How are those Native American Reservations working up in the Northern States? Oh. I forget. THERE ARE NONE! Keep in mind that the Native Americans built those "sky scrappers" in Manhattan and the Northern Whites didn't even make attempts to include Native Americans into the "melting pot." When the Yankees talk about a "melting pot" they meant for ethnic whites only!
The state of Louisiana protected Creoles of Color as much as possible (mostly due to Creole women in New Orlean, paying off La. politicians through their wealth obtained from running "Bunny Ranches" for white men) and we went into the country sides with the Cajuns and became concentrated behind the Quarters in New Orleans. The Post Civil War U.S. Government STILL was bitching about Creoles of Color being too much like "whites" and some Creoles migrated to other states but when Creoles went into Texas, the Mexican Indians protested the Catholic Church and said that Creoles must sit in the back of the church, so Creoles of Color once again had to settle parts of Houston, Texas.
This is why Louisiana Creoles of Color & Southern Free Blacks(from all over the South) took up arms, willingly, against the North because we already knew what those Yankees were up to. Slavery was on the way out around the world regardless. Those Yankees kept coming into New Orleans and bitching that the South had too many people of color climbing up the social-economic ladder but the South needed the free blacks because they were savvy, paid taxes and could establish an independent area-along with the wealthy Whites in the South.
If you weren't white, under the NEW Post Civil War America, based on Yankee rules, you had to be a Nigger and that led to Jim Crow and lynching. The South was poisoned by the Yankees and their racism! This ensured the American Government total control by dividing people up by race instead of class. The Protestants whites, then started miseducating the Africans, into thinking that it was not God like to be educated and therefore the Creoles were sinners in Nawlins. This single doctrine by white Protestants has led to the ethnic divide between Creoles and Blacks in La. state but the Creole side never gets told. All one hears about Creoles of Color, is that they never existed or that we just wanted to be "white folks."
The Southern Elites have always been masters at election propaganda. They painted Abe Lincoln as an abolitionist, without a shred of evidence and contrary to Lincoln's own pro-slave policies. This was something that the South made up to unleash the poor American whites against Lincoln. The Southerners were so good at lying that we are in the year 2010 and now their lies are taken as facts!
The 13th Amendment hardly abolishes slavery and the Emancipation Proclamation, was only a speech. ALL LINCOLN WANTED WAS TO HAVE THE SOUTH CARRY THE ECONOMIC BURDENS OF THE NORTH AND TO BUILD MORE RAILROADS!
So, lets get the record straight. Because if the talking heads on cable news really want to go there, I can take you there. All the NEW United States did was close the plantations and build prisons, that way they still got cheap labor and the North was happy once more.
100 years from now, it may be in history books that people had a savage practice of locking wild animals up in cages at a zoo for their amusement. But I doubt that God is going to keep us around for that long but of course the North will say, "oh we never had zoos and it was only a Southern practice!"
Amendment 13 - Slavery Abolished. Ratified 12/6/1865.
1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
