Why do the racist MI protesters need to be armed?

White people is code word for Racist, according to TTQ64.

Wrong, not code at all for her. White = racist. She's a miserable human being in case you could't tell.

Maybe all the confederate flags for starters.

I didn't see any confederate flag.

Be real and just imagine if these were Blacks protesting with guns.

This is an example of white privilege.

Blacks don't use guns for protesting or for hunting. They use them to kill each other.

I generally like Bikers, get along with them great, many are pretty good friends. Some of the nicest people I know really.

Now granted, they dress full attire, generally carry guns on their motorcycles, and usually have a sheathed sharp knife on their belt.

Even though most bikers I know around here are Republicans, and ready to hang out again at the club, none of them would have showed up at a rally like that!

Nope! Not their style!

These guys yesterday were what we refer to as wanna-bee bikers- all attire- no Bike! LOL!

Yeah. They're good people. Always ready to defend. And I like it when they wear German helmets.

Metal spikes only- and not that cheap plastic!

So, the USA never had slavery, is this historical revisionism?

So, racists wanted more Black people here?

Seems more like Capitalism to me, they wanted the slaves for mega profits.

Get back to me when you've taken American history 101

 

[Mason Melchizedek]

Slavery was dying out at the time because of industrialization and just being a very unpopular practice even in the South. The Confederacy and the Civil War weren't about slavery.

Revised history at its worse.

 

[Mason Melchizedek]

What were the other issues the South had with the North?

Nothing he made up the story!

 

[Mason Melchizedek]

The federal government's overreach. America was supposed to be a very very loose federation of states. When the government started trampling over states' rights, the Southern states wanted to secede. The real cause of the Civil War was that the Union didn't want to let them go.

The South participated in a national election didn't like the outcome.
And tried to steal the Southern States of the USA.
Got their ass kicked!

 

[Mason Melchizedek]

That's true that the Civil War could've been avoided by letting the South secede.

None the less, I've heard lots about "State Rights" but never about any other "State Rights" other than Slavery ever mentioned.

Can I steal your stuff and you would stand by and let me do it?

 

[Mason Melchizedek]

It was also that the fed government was overriding the taxation and laws of the states' governments.

Lincoln actually said that if he could save the Union without freeing the slaves, he would. So if this was about slavery, Lincoln could have ended the war without firing a single shot.

Saving the Union meant keeping the Southern
States in the Union!

I didn't see any confederate flag.

How could you with your head up your ass

I watched the video. All of the flags were American.

The country was a very lose confederation of states under the Articles of Confederation. When the central government proved too weak to govern effectively it was replaced by the current Constitution (illegally some argue since it did not require unanimous approval to go into effect). The purpose of the current Constitution was to give increased powers to the central government.

I know. That's how we know the war wasn't really about slavery. If it was, Lincoln would have just allowed the South to keep their slaves. The war would have ended before it started and the Union would have been saved.

The South participated in a national election didn't like the outcome.

They didn't try to steal anything. They tried to leave, which they should have been allowed to do.

Lincoln didn't take your slaves,you lost them by trying to steal the Southern States.
Should have stayed in the Union where the Constitution protected your property.

They could have left!They just couldn't steal the USA's property the Southern States.
