: xxx I'm not taking the side of "whites." I'm just pointing out the stupidity of all those people who think the Civil War was some sort of righteous crusade for civil rights.

Slavery still exists - look at the ridiculous minimum wages people have to endure here or the even smaller wages people have to endure outside of the country all at the hands of rich American businesses. People in the US have to FIGHT for living wages.
