Today I am publishing word-for-word nine responses to last week’s column about “Silent Sam” because they reveal white supremacist beliefs that persist in our community and nation 150 years after our Civil War.  I’m doing this for two reasons.

1. We can deal effectively with racism only after it is visible.
2. Our best hope to successfully deal with racism lies in developing personal acquaintances and friendships with people of other races – bonds strong enough to tolerate frank discussion of personal experiences.

Maybe a few readers will share this with friends and use it to begin a dialogue.  If so, I would be pleased to know about your experience doing that.

I must add that there were readers who agreed and others who did not and who made civilized responses.  What follows are only the ones written from a white supremacist perspective.

WARNING:  Much of what follows is both racist and inflammatory.

Mr. Morrison. Seems to me that you don’t get around much. Can you go to a black restaurant without being singled out? Do black people have the right to steal and get away with it? Lincoln could have prevented the war by buying blacks and get them out of here. My neighborhood was white, now blacks are moving in. It is dirty and profanity all over. Open your eyes, they are a disgrace and I should not be paying for their laziness. Leave the South along. We are getting tire of black privileges.

Comment 2

The only winners at civil war were the blacks. 150 years later after 600000 people lost their lives we have to support 90% of black sorryness. And they want to take rebel soldiers statues down? Hell no! African blacks sold them to Yankee’s to start with, Yankee’s sold them to rebels to increase cotton production so they can manufacture clothes, and prosper. Yankee’s raped our women, burned our towns. Robert E Lee should be on Capitol. Now we have to put up with nigger sorryness. Think about it!

You neglected to put quotes by Julian Carr into the context of his entire dedication speech:

“I trust I may be pardoned for one allusion, howbeit it is rather personal. One hundred yards from where we stand, less than ninety days perhaps after my return from Appomatox, I horse-whipped a negro wench until her skirts hung in shreds, because upon the streets of this quiet village she had publicly insulted and maligned a Southern lady, and then rushed for protection to these University buildings where was stationed a garrison of 100 Federal soldiers. I performed the pleasing duty in the immediate presence of the entire garrison, and for thirty nights afterwards slept with a double-barrel shot gun under my head.”

It would seem strange if this was such a horrible act that he did right out in the open in front of the entire garrison of US government troops and they did not intervene.

Doesn’t appear racial at all. This young lady was running her mouth insulting people on the streets and then running to the Federal troops so she wouldn’t get caught like some mischievous school child trying to get away with a prank and then got caught and punished. It doesn’t matter if you are black, white, male or female this punk got what she deserved.

Comment 4

When you quoted some of the declarations for secession you failed to note that the northern tier of states that joined the Confederacy after Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers to invade and conquer the Cotton states basically came in to stop this federal power play against the South.

The North was the aggressor and the South fought for the most part a defensive war.

Silent Sam represents those brave men who fought and died defending their homeland and not to preserve slavery since much less than half the population did not even own slaves.

You are just one of those PC Black-Lives-Matters advocates who will turn against your fellow Southerners to be accepted by this liberal society we see around us today.

Comment 5

Do you realize that the Bible does not condemn the purchasing, inheriting, owning of slaves? Not one scripture can you find from Genesis to Revelation where it forbids this. Not one. I have had many debates on this and no one has yet come up with that mythical scripture that outlaws owning servants.

Now, here is the real clincher to this whole PC attitude about slavery.

Can you believe that when Jesus Christ returns to this earth and sets up the Kingdom of God and rules over the entire earth with His throne in Jerusalem…can you believe that regathered Israel will take and possess servants once again? Do you believe the prophecies in the Bible? Can you really trust God and believe that what His Word says will surely come to pass? Can you?

Well, here is the scripture so you will be able to read it for yourself. Notice verse 2 below.

Isaiah 14:1-3

(1) For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.

(2) And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

(3) And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,

Read verse 2 a number of times until it sinks in. When Christ returns, regathered Israel will take and possess servants once again in the future which knocks in the head all this false legislation from slavery to all the other false judgements our nation has been subjected to in the name of political correctness that do not conform to God’s Word the Bible.

I can’t wait to see all you PC holier-than-thou abolitionists’ jaws drop when this day comes. Shame on all you scallywags for turning against your ancestors who fought and died so we would not have to put up with this ungodly government ruling over us today.

Comment 6

“I would give up almost anything to see this cruel and abominable war over.” Captain John H.D. Fain, 33rd NCT, UNC Chapel Hill class of 1860. Sir if your idea succeeds, then I recommend this quote be memorialized along with the countless names of victims who have given their lives to end racial animosity starting with this Confederate soldier. Capt. Fain contributed his life a few days before Lee surrendered.

Speaking of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe. Are you saying we are under similar oppression in North Carolina and need to start killing Republicans? Think before you speak Mr. Morrison.

Comment 7

Attacking all things Confederate is just an extension of the Black-Lives-Mattters crowd’s attack on our white society in general. Whites are being blamed for all the woes for the black community and they and people like you are lashing out and trying to shame the ancestors of white people for defending their homeland from an invading conquering army from the North. And this whole anti-white anti-Confederate attitude prevalent today basically comes down from the top.

The joke about the Lone Ranger and Tonto being surrounded by Indians and Tonto’s reply ot the Lone Ranger when he pointed this out — “What’s this WE stuff, pale-face?” — certainly applies here.

The majority white population in this country is being blamed for and physically being attacked by revenge seeking blacks to the tune of 37,000+ black-on-white rapes/sexual assaults (recorded back in 2005), and hundreds per year of black-on-white murders while the mainstream media looks the other way and falsely claims that whites are the real racist aggressors. The police and whites in general are looking to the President and his administration to support the police and defend our society against these black criminals running loose high on dope and this constant mental programming being forced into their brains by the Left that whites are the cause of all the black man’s problems and so basically we are recognising and saying we, the American people, as a society, are in real danger of losing control and succumbing down to an all out race war.

And basically what is Obama’s reaction to all this?

“What’s this WE stuff, pale-face?”

So, you, sir, by attacking whites in general by going after their Confederate ancestors in this region of the country and defaming their gallant ancestors who fought and died defending their homeland are party to this onslaught.

But you can’t say “What’s this WE stuff, pale-face?”. You are just a pawn of the Black-Lives-Matters anti-police anti-white movement who, you yourself, will one day be turned on (and justly so) by the this anti-white mob should they ever be given the full reigns of power.

Repent.

Show me in the Bible where owning servants is a sin. Show me!

Do you realize that God wrote down on two tables of stone with His very own finger the Ten Commandments?

Exodus 31:18

(18) And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

And God even acknowledges the right to possess servants in the 4th and 10th Commandments. Notice the words “manservant” and “maidservant” below:

FOURTH COMMANDMENT

Exodus 20:8-11

(8) Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

(9) Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

(10) But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

(11) For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

TENTH COMMANDMENT

Exodus 20:17

(17) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

The words for “manservant” and “maidservant” in Exodus 20 (above) are the same Hebrew words for “bondmen” and “bondmaids” in Leviticus 25 (below).

Leviticus 25:44-46

(44) Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.

(45) Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.

(46) And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.

So God’s Word does allow for slavery and you will not find one Scripture forbidding the buying and possessing of servants in both the Old or New Testaments. Not one! Even in the New Testament there are instructions by Peter and Paul on how masters and servants were to treat one another.

So these northern abolitionists in their “infinite” wisdom decided to free all the slaves. God never told King David a man described in the Bible as a man after God’s own heart to free all the slaves in the Kingdom of Israel. Never.

Now, Christ when He returns and sets up the Kingdom of God on this earth ruling from His throne in Jerusalem will allow regathered Israel to take and possess servants once again. Read verse 2 below very carefully.

Isaiah 14:1-3

(1) For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.

(2) And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

(3) And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,

Read verse 2 a number of times until it sinks in. When Christ returns, regathered Israel will take and possess servants once again in the future which knocks in the head all your false legislation from slavery to all the other false judgements our nation has been subjected to in the name of political correctness that do not conform to God’s Word the Bible.

And white men have been using race and slavery as a political tool ever since the American Civil War/ War Between the States to gain the advantage over their fellow white countrymen.

Wake Up!

Show me in the Bible where owning servants is a sin. Show me!

God allowed it in the past, God allowed it at the time of Christ. And God will allow it in the future when Christ returns. Read Isaiah 14:1-3.

You are just attacking white people and too scared to take on the sins of the black community. They have an illegitimacy rate of over 70% and you just keep attacking white people with no let up.

Comment 9

Mocking and showing disrespect for dead soldiers and placing on their heads all the injustices done in the context of slavery is not nice.

I think the following quotes from a letter written by General Patrick R. Cleburne back during the war (January 2,1864) were very prophetic.

“Every man should endeavor to understand the meaning of subjugation before it is too late…

“It means the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that our youth will be trained by Northern schoolteachers; will learn from Northern school books their version of the war; will be impressed by the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors, and our maimed veterans as fit objects for derision…

“It is said slavery is all we are fighting for, and if we give it up we give up all. Even if this were true, which we deny, slavery is not all that our enemies are fighting for. It is merely the pretense to establish sectional superiority and a more centralized form of government, and to deprive us of our rights and liberties.”

— Letter by General Patrick R. Cleburne, January 2, 1864 , to the Commanding General, the Corps, Division, Brigade, and Regimental Commanders of the Army of Tennessee (copy can be read on the Civil War website)
