Scott, you don't speak for blacks. I don't see SC's decision as being "in my face". You sound like the typical white New England liberal sitting smuggly off in Lala Land and passing judgement on the...

Uh... Scott? You do realize that you are a reenactor and also dress up a little funny at times.
For once in my life I'm gonna come down on the side of the Confederate flag. (You saw it here...
I don't think that's you, Clem.... but it certainly was your namesake.
I wonder who I am?
Ethnix? Naw... Except for my signature quote I don't play the race card very often. :rolleyes:
Why "think" when it can be easily looked up on the web?
There have been several attempts to identify black officers who served in the Native Guards. This task is not as easy as it might appear....
Russell Means, probably the most famous, infamous and controverisal 'professional' modern Indian activist, wrote this about being called a "Native American":
I prefer the term American Indian...
Fact check time. First of all, Robbie Whelan writes for the "The Baltimore City Paper," not the "City Record." Secondly, he wrote that in the "Maryland Daily Record" on their business blog page. ...
Here are a couple of true Southern Woman:

Harriet Tubman (born Araminta Ross; c. 1820 – 10 March 1913) was an African-American...

A fact check, easily accomplished on this gadget called the Internet reveals:
There was talk of closing nine state parks in New Jersey back in April. The Monmouth National Battlefield Park was on...
There are some pretty strange people out there who were public-school educated. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold immediately come to mind. :shock:
That's true, Rob. My brother actually is an enthusiastic collector of black ephemera. Don't understand it myself, but hey... I dress up like a Civil War soldier every now and then, so I can't point...
You need to get your facts straight. The National Park Service does not administer the Point Lookout Confederate Cemetery. The cemetery is administered by the Veterans Administration and overseen...
If you see a white unit with a couple of apparently black soldiers in the ranks with apparently white soldiers, why do you automatically assume that they are black soldiers incorrectly serving in a...
That is Lost Cause mythology. The United States was at a distinct disadvantage from the beginning. The Confederacy had every advantage which they threw away:
1) Home field advantage
2) Internal...
The recent Batman movie is rumored to be cursed. Heath Ledger dies before the film, Christian Bale is arrested for assault on opening day, and now Morgan Freeman is in a serious car accident.

As a person of color I deeply resent the "lighten up" comment. I don't live in 1961 or in 1915. I live in 2008.
You, however, obviously still live in slavery and Jim Crow days if you think a...
For cinematography and technical innovations, yes. But only film students view it for that reason and that reason alone. The story is reprehensible garbage.
The Birth of a Nation is one of the...
You like the Birth of A Nation?
I don't think I've ever met any reenactor who has publically admitted to liking TBoaN.

You can have my gun when you can pry it from my dead black hands.
Then you need expand your horizons more. Read some of the articles and letters-to-the editor that have been published in North and South Magazine over the past two years about the "black...
I'm not disputing that some blacks did fight in CS ranks. SOME. It is the recent attempts to try and portray them as having done so by the tens of thousands that is a myth.
Also, there are...
If it was the DAR flying the world's largest Betsy Ross flag it would mean only one thing: heritage.
But when the SCV flys the Betsy Ross flag it means something else: politics.
When they...
This is just one example of how Bibilical verses are taken completely out of context in order to promote a political viewpoint or justify a war no matter how unjust it might in fact be. Alone and...
Didn't make me laugh at all.
