Frequently I’m no great fan of the NAACP’s rhetoric on the Civil War. Too often they make the 16 year old rebel farm boy soldier into a combination of Benedict Arnold and the Grand Dragon of the KKK.

Benedict Arnold and the Grand Dragon of the KKK.

Most of those types were found in WV,PA, OH and IN.

And you and the rest of the coven ain't far behind them with your rhetoric here of FR even going so far as accusing some of us Southrons of that or worse.

Benedict Arnold and the Grand Dragon of the KKK.

An interesting little story.

Back in the early 1980's a friend of mine was first stationed at Fort Knox, so he and his wife were looking for an apartment off post until they could save up to buy a house.

Curtis, who is black, had to report in to his new unit, so his wife, who is white, went to the apartment complex to sign for the apartment. Everything was fine until that evening, when Curtis arrived to look things over.

The complex owner/manager was waiting to give them a walk-thru, and he did a double-take when Curtis walked up and introduced himself. The guy suggested that Curtis and his wife might want to consider looking for another apartment, possibly in Radcliff or Elizabethtown.

When Curtis asked why they wouldn't want to stay there, they other guy informed him that he was the Imperial Grand Dragon of the KKK.

When Curtis first told me this, I thought he was pulling my leg, but my dad, who was stationed at Fort Knox in the 1970's, told me that the Army actually encouraged its black soldiers to avoid Shepherdsville, since it was the headquarters of the KKK up until just a few years ago.
