Ignorance of history is becoming so pervasive in society that more people will believe the big lie than the small one.

Not that the north has actually been a 'bastion of racial tolerance' either, of course.

1. There was no slavery.

2. There were no lynchings.

3. There was no Jim Crow.

4. It's all the North's fault.

5. Northerners are always worse.

6. North North North North North.



That's how it goes. I know, I've lived here most of my life.
