Mulattoes and mestizos tend to be forgotten in these discussions.

We're a large part of visible black society today - so no worries. :)

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

They're now covered - because of the change in historiography in the 60s and 70s. It's developed subsequently. But the truth is that I think they're seen as relatively peripheral to the grander narrative - which is why occasionally focusing on that perspective at the expense of the 'story of the civil war' is valuable.

As traditional as 'Battle Cry of Freedom'

Well of course with the Civil War in particular the reason these reasons were not brought up back in the 60s were the same reasons the war was fought in the first place.  The Lost Cause ideology was still very strong.

Now I don't know.  It would have to be on hell of a Lettowist telling of the story for black Americans not to be central to the narrative.

Black history is great and all, but does it really take a whole month to talk about the invention of peanut butter?
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

George Washington Carver does indeed sound like a cool guy though.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

Not bad.  There were 3 posts in 72 hours before my White History Month comment, then almost 70 in the next 8 hours. :smoke:
