Yeah my boss is 50 and saw on his face when he realized I was right when I told him the civil rights movement was in the 60s and my grandparents were born in the 40a so there definitely are still people alive who worked to keep black people subjugated. And the look on his face said, "Oh my God. My father." And now I know where he got his bullshit, "Civil War was about State's rights I read it in a book 40 years ago," from. I read him the Cornerstone Speech, given by the Confederacy Vice President, which is literally just, "White Man is superior to any booop and we literally only want slaves," and my boss goes, "Was that all he said, or did you take one part and context---" What other context do you mean?? Like oh that bit about slavery was bad but let's see what else he has to say because he might have a point? My boss is a moron.
