Literally the only college football rivalries that matter is that the SEC hates everyone else in the SEC. Especially Florida.

Also, the only college football teams that matter are in the SEC. And sometimes Oregon and Ohio.

Thanks for reading my 100% correct fact-based post.

A black friend of mine grew up in atlanta w me and lived in the south his whole life and just moved to wisconsin earlier this year. He says he has experienced more racism in just 3 months there than he ever did in the south and that it's even more segregated than most areas of the south.

This isnt the first anecdote of the sort i have heard from friends that have moved to the north, to LA, to the midwest. It's almost as if racism is everywhere in the USA...

to not be technical at all and instead focus on the salient point, the problem with the confederate flag is not that the people who flew it owned slaves, the problem is that the entire reason it ever existed was because the United States was starting to come around to the fact that owning slaves is wrong

Even worse than that, almost everywhere it did come down after the civil war. It went back up later, to protest the civil rights movement. The specific one most in the news, at the SC capital, went up shortly after the Brown v Board of Education mandating desegregation of schools. It was a symbolic protest like Governor Wallace blocking the schoolhouse door with his own body to make sure no black people got in to learn. The only bit of "heritage" it was celebrating was one where whites were legally superior to blacks.

yeah, people had been doing that poo poo for a hundred years prior and the norths response was fugitive slave laws, not invading the south and freeing the salves. i guess i should have been more specific in saying, no one in the north who had any kind of power gave a poo poo about slaves until there was an economic incentive

The "North" never invaded the "south" to free the slaves. The south seceded because they saw that soon the number of free states would outnumber them.

the south seceded because Abe Lincoln was elected (without even being on the ballot in the south lol). lincoln was the obama of the 19th century

Which is why it's not as bad for having been a confederate flag per se, as much as that it was brought back into service in the 50's specifically as a racist symbol.

lol don't pretend like the North was so much better when there were still slave states in the Union fighting the South; and the Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in rebellious states (not all slave states were in rebellion!)

poo poo was about money and power and lol if you think otherwise. it was about keeping the union together by any means necessary. the war goal became 'free the slaves' midway through the war as a propaganda tactic on the Union's part to raise war enthusiasm

the fact remains that afterwards black people still lived in effective slavery. yeah it wasn't chattel slavery but on the flip side they still did all the work for rich white people while profiting not at all.

yeah the abolition movement existed but that wasn't anything to do with the government, that was private citizens stepping up. don't credit the government with their hard work.

Im just not into being all that nuanced balanced and apologetic where a rebellious Confederacy founded upon chattel slavery by constitutional mandate is concerned

especially in the "lol south" thread

im not really saying you're wrong, except maybe I do think the North was a lot better, though maybe not "so much" i donno

they were definitely better and the south was definitely trash I just hate the idea of the North taking it upon themselves to go to war to free the slaves because they all knew it was wrong and etc. etc. when in reality it was just unacceptable to lose half the nation's territory and they were going to go to war over it even if the South seceded and freed all their slaves on their own.

that's definitely true and lincoln said as much, he literally said if he could avoid war by promising not to free the slaves he would,and he literally also promised that during his election campaign

but the trend of states individually abolishing slavery and territories choosing to enter the country as free states is what backed the south into a corner

Ultimately we should be even more pissed at the South because they took the very real question of 'well if the states voluntarily join this union why can't they leave without having to fight a war over it?' and turned it into some racist bullshit and now the whole question of succession is forever quashed (seemingly) because it will always be associated with terrible lovely Southern values.

Well yeah, they saw the writing on the wall RE slavery and that's what caused them to want to secede in the first place.

I just sometimes feel like the coasts should secede from the idiot states but it won't ever happen.
