No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.

No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

As the grandson of a racist Nazi Wehrmacht soldier who likely committed war crimes in WWII... I keep being astonished how far some Americans go to not acknowledge the crimes of their ancestors.
It's okay, your ancestors can be horrible human beings without anyone thinking any less of you... in fact, you defending them, yeah, that's why people think less of you. How is the flawlessness of your "heritage" so important to your ego? Do you have nothing else to be proud of?
Nearly breaking her back to bend the truth. That's just "rape" with extra words. Her great-grandfather raped his slaves, and instead of just saying "that's bad" she defends sexual assault. It's hard to wrap my brain around.
