Maeve Magdalen - 11/3/2010 Status Comment I have been listening to the mainstream media as they talk politics today, and hear them structure their arguments to continue the strife.

Blacks Who Support Black Confederate Mythology Nov 1 2010 There's a good conversation going in this thread on black lay historians who support the myth of black Confederates. I think the first thing is to realize that many of these African-Americans are, themselves, Southerners. I don't know that we appreciate how much whites and blacks in the South share in common. It's very different than, say, Jamaican Americans in Crown Heights and [...]
Black Confederates, Cont. Nov 1 2010 Historian Bruce Levine has a really good op-ed looking at the myth of black confederate legions. Here's Levine discussing the Confederacy's death-bed conversion: After months of heated debate, a severely watered-down version of this proposal became Confederate law in March of 1865. Gen.
