Comment on Anon does some genealogy

You know, often in these green text posts I have a takeaway that at least attempts sympathy toward the anon.
Fuckin nope, not here.
I would say its so hilariously pathetic that its a bit, but I’ve met people that are unironically like this.
Anon, you’re only alive because Sherman didn’t finish the job.
He should have.
Here, a song for you before you meet your God:
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, while God is marching on.
Oh, imagine a world where that describes current day ‘Republican Jesus’.
My idea of a ‘white man’s burden’ is that its our job to rid the planet of all these melanin deprived slavers and ‘ante bellum nostalgics’.
Its really the least we could do, at this point.

I thought it was a joke. Rephrase it a bit and it would be a funny standup routine. I guess anon should have emphasized that they didn’t support slavery (if they did) but it is a funny concept to ask how they fumbled the bag so hard.

Well, if they’d actually made clear that they are, you know, ashamed of the family history, that they are lamenting having basically ‘fallen’ from… that’d be one thing.
But, I really have met people who are unironically this pissy about how their family used to be wealthier, slave owners.
… and that… … that brings out the fire and brimstone that apparently runs through my blood.
I’d done a massive mapping out of as much of my lineage as I could, maybe a month or so ago.
But I hadn’t actually looked too far into much of the details.
So ironically, I guess I have anon to thank for spurring me to look further into that, entirely to be able to make a heritage based rebuttal to slavery, out of spite.
