i just wonder when it ends. In the 1860s, a biblical seven generations ago, nearly 700,000 white people died in a war to make 3 million black people equal before the law.

That’s one white boy dead for every 4.3 black people made full citizens.

Oh i know there’s since been oodles of racism –on all sides –but since the war it has been unAmerican –it has been against American law and against the common ideal –and it would die quickly if only the race industry would just let it.

Meanwhile there’s that statistic, “one for four”.

How many times in human history has any people anywhere ever done anything like that for another people? And gotten so little in gratitude?

With the whole war –the central event in American history –stuffed down the memory hole in favor of a fixation on the status quo anti-bellum (as if those 700,000 didn’t die at all) for no other reason than the easy politics of the Endless Guilt (or is that Original Sin?), and despite that politics’ certain degradation into a permanent opposition to the very national culture that paid the “one for four”.
