Vance Monument Task Force

People who think which color slaves were owned had anything to do with the color of their skin are fucking ignorant. Slaves were a commodity, no one cared what color they were, only that they were strong and healthy.

Racism goes back further than slavery and it will continue to exist until the end of mankind. Every government that tracks statistics based on skin color only contribute to the issue. Generally speaking, people are fucking stupid.

Slavery wasn't even addressed by the Union as an issue until they started losing the war and they needed more troops. Look it up. Look at the casualties on both sides. The fucking covil war was started on behalf of states' rights, not over slavery. It's just another case of the victors writing the history to paint them in the best light possible. Change my mind.
