Pierson, while a lot less reactionary and easier to contend with, is, in the end, just another in a long series of slavery deniers. it was pretty obvious that despite whatever data i provided to the contrary, he was not going to budge. and like holocaust deniers or people who think 9/11 was masterminded by the jews, there is only so much proof you can provide before people just refuse to listen and acknowledge the truth. for fun, go to the SPLC and look up the SCV. whatever they want to call themselves, they are racists no matter how much historical rewrites they try and do. just an FYI-on the comments of that article, the ones by “Diamondback Buttercup” are mine. i tried for a few days to go back and forth with some of the folks. most of them were pretty easy to brush off and argue with logic.

Not kidding. I was there. He lives on a farm in South Tampa. A fucking farm. Don't believe that 'Heritage Not Hate' BS. He and his ilk are as racist as any illiterate skinhead. Trust me. Two things:

We are civilized people who believe that god is in us and protecting us from the evil which is symbolized by us handling rattlesnakes speaking in tongues and somehow emerging unscathed...from the bad music at the service... If this is a metaphor you can't relate to, try typing with one hand for a while. Ooh, double entendres galore.
