We offer examples of the source of racism in America. It is our hope that a discussion can be had to clarify misconceptions and lies about racism in our history. That the hatred of a few did not represent the majority of Whites.
From the horse’s mouth Julius Howell says the Civil War was fought by the ranks for States Rights.
In the following video to women are interviewed and present opposing views of the first family of color moving into their neighborhood.

What has surprised you? Labor Camps?
The narrative changes…
After the Civil War, how did we as Americans go from wide-spread racism to everything is racist?
Michigan’s Governor declares a state of emergency as riots over the shooting of poor little Michael Brown continue.
Ferguson Michigan has become the setting for a “real life Battle for the Planet of the Apes” with rioters acting like “Curious George on Red Bull”. But before you call me a racist you should know I’m quoting a surprising source.
Here’s Morgan Freeman’s take on a solution which I fully agree with.
In the spirit of total disclosure, I went to a Black Ghetto High School with “W CHAMBERLAIN” on my gym shorts. Go Spartans! At Seaside High School I learned to be color blind like Morgan said. But I have to watch myself because my definition of nigger is probably not yours. When I use the word it has NOTHING to do with race but rather stupidity. Johnathan is eloquent in expressing this concept.
So I reach out to folks who don’t look like me and others who do to stop being so stupid and just be people. I call on everybody to reject those that want racial stupidity to continue.
