sure
my friend sent me this note. she is a black female. some interesting
historical stuff
********
so, now I begin to understand, beyond the war, the
roots of some of the southern hate of northern
peoples:
Since then the North has contributed largely of money
to educate the negro. It has sent Northern teachers,
devoted, self, well persons, full
of zeal, to lift the once oppressed race to a higher
plane. It has sympathized with and sup****ted every
scheme devised to benefit the negro and has lauded to
the highest skies every effort to create in him
social, political, and financial aspirations. To the
protests of the white men of the South who knew the
negro and had to live with him that the methods chosen
were wrong and mischievous and would surely result in
disaster the people of the North turned a deaf ear.

another piece of insight:!!
Ordinary punishment, adequate in the North to check
crime, fails entirely in the South to restrain the
negro even from the commission of minor misdemeanors.
The disgrace of imprisonment does not touch him, as a
rule. In many Southern towns, when cold weather
approaches and the ****ftless and improvident blacks
feel its chill, numbers of them deliberately and
openly commit theft in order to be arrested,
convicted, and sentenced to the penitentiary during
the winter months, there to be maintained in
comparative comfort at the State's expense until
spring returns. When, once again at liberty, they come
back, they are met at the train by their neighbors,
relatives, and friends and escorted in triumph to
their lurking places, as if they were heroes returning
from an honorable undertaking instead of idle,
vicious, debased criminals let loose from jail.

I always thought it was about the Revolution.
APPARENTLY, i'ts about KKK and such stupidity. I need
to see it. According to accounts in that book, from
Atlanta Papers, it originated from a play called The
Clansman.
Fabulous, huh?
