How “poorly the South was treated after the war”? They were treated better than the losing side in most wars ever are, even being allowed to rewrite their own history by portraying Reconstruction as a failure due to the fact that Black people got to temporarily hold positions of power in Congress. I suppose you watch films like “Birth of A Nation” and like Woodrow Wilson you believe you are watching an accurate portrayal of history. The white slaveowners of the South got paid reparations for the supposed eradication of slavery for Christ’s sake, while those former slaves who didn’t flee white supremacist terrorism were subjected to either Jim Crow segregation or worse, further enslavement that existed illegally all the way up until the Second World War. See Slavery By Another Name by Douglas A. Blackman who has extensively documented this. It’s amazing how so many are so still holding on to and promoting the narrative of white Southern victimhood while you have continuously victimized, terrorized and sought to bury under your feet those who had to suffer from your constant quest to enshrine white supremacy into law. I’ve been receiving your columns as part of my Medium weekly newsletter for some reason though I have certainly never subscribed to you or wanted to follow your weekly racist diatribe but I can remain silent no more as day after day you write these pieces that obsessively demonize Black people — you’ve even referred to those who actively oppose their oppression as “black mobs” — while you portray the most oppressive group of people in the world as patriotic defenders of law and order. And now you go so far as to defend the southern cause and the white violence of the reconstruction era, which whether you want to believe it or not was completely one-sided. There was no violence “on both sides” as I’m sure you would cite as justification for brutal lynchings and kkk terrorism.
