Do you hate being a southerner because of slavery? I do, that's why I hide my southern accent from others

Dumbest post of the day.

Slavery was a global phenomenon, your whole account is dedicated to having a victim mentality

One of the biggest issues today is misplaced accountability. You're not responsible or accountable for the sins of others. Ever.

Oh, for Christ's sake that ended 160 years ago, can't we just let go of it already.

Besides you had no control of where you were born or raised in the world, If you were in the Middle East slavery still goes on, and China does not treat its populace much better.

I am concerned about the sex slave industry and how that has blossomed around the world.

remember kiddies. slavery was born and dies in the united states.
in now way were black ppl selling other black ppl as slaves for thousands of years.
and ignore the fact of modern day slavery...

-Big Brother ✊

But.. the whole world and more did it, just because the northerners "stopped" it first and the southerners technically went to war over the fact (thank the cotton gin for that one), its still a part of the entire us history not just a portion.

Slavery has been around for thousands of years. It was common in ancient times. None of us in this generation have anything to do with it because slavery was abolished before our time.

I think we need to teach more about Southern abolitionists to give people from the south positive figures to relate to. There may have been less of them, and it was actually dangerous to express such ideals, but that actually made it more brave and bold for them to do so. Cassius Clay of Kentucky had an antislavery publication he had to move north to Ohio due to various threats. Angelina Grimke was born to wealth in South Carolina and became both an abolitionist and a feminist. In 1827, there were 106 anti-slavery societies in the South, with an estimated 6625 members.

That bravery to embrace what is morally right when in the minority of your contemporaries is the real spirit of rebellion that should be celebrated.

The path to pride in heritage is not to defend the wrongs of the past, but to identify with the heroes that dared to go against the grain.

Ugh, I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine how difficult it just be for you. 😞

Are you ashamed of being human because of human atrocities through history? Do you hide being human?

Are you embarrassed to be from planet Earth because of how brutal life on Earth can be? Do you pretend to be an alien?

Are you disgusted to be on online poster because how disgusting online posters can be? Do you deny you post online?

Don’t hide your southern identity. I love the south.. did you ever support slavery in the klan? I never dead, and never would..

Slavery wasn't just a southern sin. The entire nation was guilty of it.

Your accent is about where you are from, but it does not represent your politics or your beliefs

I think the southern accent is lovely

I'm not a southerner, I'm a northerner. I don't like slavery.

Slavery was around long before america existed

I can understand that.

Wow I didn’t realize you’re from the South, use your accent and be proud it has nothing to do with slavery.

I think we need to bring Sherman back from the dead and teach those red necks again right from wrong.

Why don't you like the south now? You weren't around during slavery but it certainly has history there.

No, no, no a million times no.

I ♥️ slavery

Wow.....a guilt trip.....about history. :-)

New York didn't fully free slaves until 1827 and at one stage 40% of households owned slaves (compared to I think 8% of people in the South at the time of the civil war)

Well that and just general redneck / conservative / religious / all other negative associations with the US south

There is nothing positive or interesting about being southern, even when I hear a strong southern accent it makes my skin crawl

Nothing more annoying than white guilt.
