Did I really just read a argument suggesting that Nathan Bedford Forrest wasn’t racist?

stfuconfederates:

You mean… legendary horrific Confederate general NBF?

Like… early member (and possibly Grand Wizard) of the Klu Klux Klan, NBF?

Ok. Sure. Why not. New list of people who are not racist:

  • Nathan Bedford Forrest (ignore all historical fact, somebody on Tumblr said he wasn’t.)
  • Ron Paul (ignore all historical fact, he pays a bunch of people to say he’s not. two guesses as to where some of that money came from.)
  • Adolf Hitler (work with me here people. He was just proud to be white and not Jewish. even though he was probably Jewish)
  • Rick Perry (you have to be able to memorize three things to be racist, it’s an historic fact)
  • Racists (that’s right. racist are no longer racist. according to this kid)

I’m done. Apparently no amount of racial-hatred-fueled evil is enough to ever brand anyone a ‘racist’. Go ahead and shut down the internet, America. I’ve seen enough here.
