I am chilled sir, I am the portrait of chill. I just point out the fact that fellows of your shade (50% of black, or gray, in other words) seem to give a pass to the fiendish butchers on your side of the conflict while lamenting the horrible excesses of the men in blue and their dark minions who raped southern women every chance they got with the tacit support of their officers.

It's a constant drum-beat that I'm sure you have noticed over the past several years.

I don't specifically point to you in this, but I will say that those of the Confederate stripe are constantly bringing up the Lincoln thing, the states rights thing and the atrocity thing like they're city buses coming along the boulevard every 10 or 15 minutes exactly on schedule.
