Politically Incorrect?

The LA Times started the "politically correct" movement in the 1980's. When I first heard of their plan while living about 50 miles east of it, I thot they were crazy and no one would follow them. Nearly the entire liberal or lamestream media has done so. Now they say no stereotypes and no generalizations, but that is all they do. Only white men are the bad guys in the PC world. The truth is irrelevant. Most Southerners are fair play for their insults and degradations. I believed most of the garbage about the "slave owning" "uneducated" to my regret. I want to eat those thots and declare not even everyone on one street is alike let alone in one town, one state or one section. Reading the book Under God I am learning more and more. Also an "African-American" NC professor named John Hope Franklin's book regarding the "benevolence" of the freedmen. He points to the many emancipation efforts of freemen for their race. Not all of the efforts were successful, but John Carruthers Stanly of New Bern is highly praised by Franklin. So if a freedman who owns slaves is considered highly then so should white men who helped with freeing slaves. This includes Republican President Abraham Lincoln. Men like George Washington are attacked today for being a slave owner, but he was the most beloved general and president of his day and for decades until around 1990 when he was not PC. He still won our freedom for us and started the government which was truly for the people.

Slave Owners Could be Christians

Studying the Bible book Philemon we discovered that this Christian owned slaves since Paul wrote him about his runaway slave Onesimus. It is a miracle that anyone is saved. However, the chance of Onesimus meeting Paul and being saved in Rome is truly a huge miracle and not just a coincidence. Philemon had church in his home and might have been led to the Lord by Paul. Paul indicated in the book that "I might..command you." The Jewish people had slaves starting with the Father of Judaism, Abraham. His first child, a male, Ishmael, was by Hagar a slave. The Bible repeatedly refers to the treatment of slaves. The slave owners in our nation were not all evil. However, some were evil and even slayed their slaves when the overseers or owners were displeased. Many slave owners were kind and even helped their slaves. In New Bern, NC, Lydia Carruthers Stewart taught John Carruthers Stanly to read, write and have godly values. John became very successful with his owner's help. There was a saying, "Don't ever generalize," which is a generalization in itself. However, the politically correct crowd does generalize repeatedly including putting all slave owners into an evil slot. Not a single slave owner is given any credit for doing any good. Even Frederick Douglass was taught to read and write by his owner in Maryland. Our Founding Fathers were wonderful and intelligent and yet many like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson owned slaves.
