I'm not a gentleman at all. I'm a graceful "lady with disgrace."
I think that slave owners of the old South should be looked down upon with shame. It also makes me sick to think that anyone could look on them as romantic heros or gentlemen. A true gentleman treats his fellow humans beings with dignity and respect.
The South has terrible criminal behaviour under it's belt. The atrocities committed went beyond anything that we had seen until the Nazi regime.
Now, I love the South, but I hate that it's history is steeped in the blood of African slaves. There's nothing romantic about that. There's nothing cool about that. It's a blight on our past not only as Southerners but as Americans as well.
Oh, and don't sign your name everytime you post. We know who you are.....unfortunately.
