An
incorrect figure of speech you should have avoided to keep from looking like the idiot you exposed yourself as. Since no one in the South who is alive, ever even knew a slave owner, I find it hard to believe they were "taught" or "learned" to be
PRO slavery. Racism is present in every place across America, not just in the South. In fact, if you look at the history of racial turmoil, riots and violence due to racial tensions, it's never happening in those Southern states which you claim are so racist in their beliefs. It's always California, New York, Detroit, Boston, Cleveland & Cincinnati... places FAR removed from the old South. Why do you figure that is, Einstein? Maybe we lynch all the witnesses down here, so there is never any trouble? Is that what you think is happening? Because there has to be some rational explanation for why the Southern US is full of all these deplorable racists, yet we don't seem to have riots, protests, and marches anymore.
Once again, our insipidly stubborn and intellectually deficient Dixie repeats all the disproven nonsense of his previous post. Since our Dixie Dunce does not understand what a "figure of speech" is, I'll enlighten him (yet again):
A Figure of Speech is where a word or words are used to create an effect, often where they do not have their original or literal meaning.
If someone says that they are 'starving', they do not mean that they are in fact dying of hunger, but that they are very hungry. This is a simple example of a figure of speech, where the word is used to heighten or increase the state that they are describing. A metaphor or a simile are two of the most common forms used.
As we have seen on this thread, you have various people STILL trying to defend/excuse/justify the Confederacy, history of slavery and Jim Crow laws in the Southern states. Our dumb Dixie's attempt to smokescreen this by making idiot moot points that no original slave owners are alive or that racism existed in other states was already deconstructed in the previous post. Like all intellectually bankrupt Confederate flunkies, Dixie just ignores what was logically and factually proven and repeats his failed Dixie dumb assertions in various ways ad nauseum.
Like it or not, and despite their own individual history of bigotry and racism, California, New York, Detroit, Chicago, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Idaho were NOT part of the CONFEDERACY.....their economy was not conerstoned in slavery! Jim Crow laws were not their mainstay for a century. A matter of fact, a matter of history.
And yet, there are still racists and bigots in those states...
no shit sherlock, as I stated in a previous thread and never alluded otherwise! Our Dixie Dunce loves a moot point. proving you aren't BORN a racist, and you don't become a racist based on where you live. Idiot!
Yes Dixie, you are...and proving it with every post. Again, as I previously demonstrated, our Dixie Dunce just rejects a simple diagram of the sentences that confuse his Dixie dumb brain...as I previously explained, saying something permeates a group or region is NOT the same that ALL who inhabit that group or region are affected. To accept this simple explanation would pull the rug from our Dixie Dunce's diatribes....such is the immaturity of our Dixie Dunce. http://www.justplainpolitics.com/sho...238#post796238
Again, it's not the South's fault their economy was 'cornerstoned' in slavery, if you're looking for someone to blame, how about the SCOTUS who ruled slaves were property? How about Congress who passed legislation to protect slavery for 85 years before the Civil War? How about the Founding Fathers who incorporated slavery into our Constitution as a legitimate practice to begin with? Yes sir, there is PLENTY of blame to go around, no need in dumping it all on the South.
One dumb Confederate defending Dixie dumbass!
