.. VIRGINIA is a very historic state indeed .! i am PROUND to have lived here & also to have been educated here so that im fully aware of what has taken place in this state.. i may not agree with EVERYthing thats happened here.. Yet, i understand that its HISTORY & without our history who's to say where this state would be 2day.! the confederates fought for their homes, communities and the Commonwealth.! they fought for what they believed in & what they called theirs.. & theres nothing wrong with that AT ALL..!! on the other hand.. the confederates believed HEAVLY in slavery.. which is a BIG no no.! & due 2 their strong belief in slavery, most of them are racist.! so naturally as an AFRICAN american, i dnt like confederates.. lOl.. i mean i fully understand the history & i respect that its what got us to where we are today.. BUT even to me having not being brought up during that time i grin every time i c a confederate flag.. SOOO YESSSS..!! the african american community understands why governor bobMcDONNELL declared APRIL 2010 as confederate history month.. but we feel like we've been left out.. like what about the SLAVES that held down the rich white confederates by working hard on their land, all day, each and everyday, against their own will.. AND what about male slaves that were forced to go 2 war & put their lives on the line while fightin for beliefs they did NOT believe n.? what about them, will they too get a month to b remembered & appreciated.?!!
