I am not going to post a long fact filled rebuttal to the outright lies, half truths and misinformation that Mark Potok posted. I will however challenge Mr. Potok to an open and public debate of the facts relating to the Confederate Battleflag the formation of the Confederacy and racism in the Confederate army.
We will use the website that I am administrator of, Southern Heritage Advancement Preservation and Education (SHAPE) at http://southernheritageadvancementpreservationeducation.com We have easy to follow threaded message forums. Rest assured Mr. Potok the debate will remain cordial and civil.
