Nothing I said was wrong, and you didn't even attempt to dispute it. You just went straight to calling me names because I pointed out the simple historical fact that an enormous army of primarily white soldiers was the primary driver of the end of slavery. I acknowledged that slaves and black soldiers helped, but it is simply an historical fact that the war wasn't ended by a General Strike (which may not even have really happened, it was just one person's characterization of the situation), it was ended by the overwhelming might of the Union Army, which was 90% white. Sorry if the truth makes you uncomfortable.
You are a shallow thinker who doesn't understand that pointing out actual historical facts that don't align with your 21st century ideologies doesn't make me sexist or racist, just accurate.
Your insistence that I'm sexist and racist is ignorant, and silly. Besides, where did you get Sexist from? We were talking about slavery, so I could see where a confused person could somehow fall back on a racist label, but sexist? That wasn't part of the discussion in any way. That was just you piling on to someone you've decided to hate simply because they repeated a truth that makes you uncomfortable. You're the one spewing the bigotry, not me.
Maybe YOU should work on THAT.
Your degree is in HIS-story. HIS being the prefix you're choosing to use. It's blatantly sexist by ignoring the plight women have suffered throughout time. Classic white savior tactic. Obfuscate the truth to push a racist narrative. You really think things would be better if the south won? Why would you even imply something like that?
Someone is off their meds.
Imagine thinking that this is a valid argument - that "choosing" to use the world History makes me sexist, because history has His in it, so I must accept all the sexist stereotypes that have occured in HIS-tory. Or maybe I'm sexist because I won't call it Herstory?
So you see, the word history has nothing to do with gender, just because it has the letters H-I-S in it. It isn't derived from anything to do with gender or sex, and trying to attach those meanings to it thousands of years after the fact isn't just poor scholarship, it's the sign of a really STUPID person.
I've got an idea, let's change the subject, and argue about whether antiHIStamines are Lesbian, and if men should be allowed to take them.
Oh, yeah, I just can't let that last one go. How does acknowledging that the Union Army was 90% white, a simple historical fact, imply that I wanted the South to win? That was obviously some attempt at an insult, but it didn't work.
You're telling me what you think I need to work on, so I'll suggest that you really need to learn about Critical Thinking Skills. Because you don't have any, and I doubt that you've ever been heard the term.
Look bucko, I calls em like I sees em. You keep tippity typing all this stuff trying to get me to join your Klan. Not gonna happen sport, I wont join your racist side of the aisle. I support all people, not just the WHITE MEN like you seem to. Try reading a book sometime young man.
Young man? Closing on an attempted compliment, well done. Wrong about everything else, though, and since calling out my age probably wasn't a compliment, my age, too.
Don't be looking out for any party invitations from me. I like my parties to be fun.
