They say ‘Never Forget’ about the less than 3,000 New Yorkers and foreigners killed on September 11, 2001. But if we Southerners say that about the quarter million of our family members whom the United States killed in the 1860s (to say nothing of the century and a half of exploitation that has followed) they say that we are ‘living in the past’ and ‘still fighting the Civil War [sic].’ Notice the hypocrisy?
Muslim terrorists did not do this to Charleston, SC; the US Federal Government did.
I would add that 9-11 has been used to manipulate the public into supporting wars that a disproportionate number of Southerners have had to fight, gotten killed, or have been severely wounded for.
“Muslim terrorists did not do this to Charleston, SC; the US Federal Government did.”
My Father used to say this: “Those who don’t remember history are doomed to repeat it.” I know he did not originate the saying, but nonetheless it fits and in this case apropos I believe.
