Calling the notion that all men are created equal the vile refuse of the far left denounces one of the foremost American values. Suggesting that the Civil Rights movement was a mistake-as the article you referenced does-is contemptible. As for your other reference, where is the source? Neither of these references seem credible, you can't just give someone something that some loony wrote and expect them to take it to heart. It is very sad to see people at a conservative website denying one of the darker parts of our history, I thought that we were above and beyond that. Realize that this racism existed, realize where it came from, and its manifestations, and move on. Such denial only insenses the people that acutally suffered-and there are still some alive today.
Racism still exists sherlock.
The sooner we stop demeaning all forms of racisim and realizing that some forms are okay, they better off all of us will be.

I did not suggest that the concept that all men were created equal was refuse. What was refuse is the smear of the Southern hierarchy. Why don't you read the Declaration of Independence through as an entity, and understand what Jefferson, Adams and Franklin were acually saying. It hardly supports your argument. They certainly were not attacking the landed gentry in the American South. (See Declaration Of Independence.)
