You know, you talk a lot for someone who claims they aren't even from here but still feels entitled to erase the struggle and sacrifice of millions based on maps and caricatures. Your entire worldview hinges on flattening a country with over 330 million people into two colors so you can feel superior from the sidelines. I hate to break it to you, but that's not factual analysis: Its projecting intellectual laziness.

People here and especially in the south, DO fight. Every day. How do you think we survived Decades of Slavery, Desegregation & Jim Crow? People out here have been fighting for their rights and their grandchildren's rights far before you were even conceived. Have you ever fought for your rights? Have you ever even gotten out off your high horse to do something for the good of others?

Also, if your going to invoke the 3/5th's compromise as some kind of rhetorical jab, maybe read a history book first so you don't look like such an arrogant dumbass. That compromise was literally forced on Anti-Slavery delegates by the same Southern Plantation Owners that armed and financed the Confederacy. It was a tool of White Supremacy, not some grassroots Southern vote. Seriously, what is wrong with you? You think its okay to blame the descendants of people who were counted as three-fifths of a person for the crimes of the ones who did the counting. This goes beyond ignorance. It's fucking disgusting, plain and simple.

But maybe that's the point. Your not here to fix anything, and you wouldn't have done anything good for this country if you came anyways. Your here to jerk yourself off while people suffer all while you pretend to hold some level of understanding. Just say your here to troll and fuck off, dude.

I feel like most people here don't get this.
