Tobacco farm in Vance county. I have seen it first hand. It is real and for the record I love the south except for this. I will say though, traveled and spent a lot of time in the northeast. It's just as bad.
I don't disagree but as Jimmy so well stated, right or wrong it was their livelihood. The north ended up on the right side on injinuity but was not much better. Read up on why unions became a thing.
Solid article about the white Christians enslaved by Muslims along the Barbary coast. It’s from 2004 but an informative article and an eye opener if you thought America was an immoral outlier when it comes to slave history.

Research Suggests White Slavery Was Much More Common
Editor's note (3/21/20): For an update on this story, visit: Why is a 16-year-old book on slavery so popular now? A new study suggests that a million or more European Christians were enslaved by Muslims in North Africa between 1530 and 1780 – a far greater number than had ever been...

Yeah that will convince people. Haha.
Imagine your great great grandfather had a farm. Nextdoor was another farmer. One day the neighbor farmer came over chained up your gggrandfather, took your gggrandmother into his house and made your gggrandmother work both farms now beating him daily keeping all the harvest for himself. The bad farmer became very wealthy and well known. One day the government decided after great fight that he was wrong and freed your ggrandfather but his neighbors built statues of the bad farmer in a place that you have to walk by every day . They made big flags with his brand on them that flew in Front of your school and
church . Would that not bother you?

That's pretty interesting I've never heard of that actuallySolid article about the white Christians enslaved by Muslims along the Barbary coast. It’s from 2004 but an informative article and an eye opener if you thought America was an immoral outlier when it comes to slave history.

Now I know how Auburn fans feel
That demolition wasn’t OSHA approved. When you ignore safety, bad things happen.
Ole Charles got one.
I just spit tea all over my lap top. Thanks Jimmy
It feeds the agenda to bury an important part of the data set. Slaves built the world. Not just America.
The designer of the Confederate battle flag stated it was everything to do with white supremacy. The articles of secession of many states clearly state the preservation of slavery was a motive. There is no excuse or justification for treating human beings as property and brutally oppressing them for centuries. That is not a heritage to celebrate or glorify.
This is very disappointing. Technically, I read that the production of new shows has ceased and that they could be restarted later if I understand it correctly. I wonder if another channel would consider taking on the show.
I think this is a terrible decision that is bowing to PCness. Why is it so bad to have real life cop shows on TV now?
Does anyone here agree with this decision? If so, why?

They are even going after paw patrol. Even cartoons aren’t safe from the poopers.

Why are they going after paw patrol?
From host Dan Abrams just yesterday:
“To all of you asking whether #LivePD coming back. . .The answer is yes. All of us associated with the show are as committed to it as ever. We are still discussing some specifics but I want to assure the #LivePDNation that we are not abandoning you.”
And then he said:
“And to be clear as I have said on my @SXMPOTUS show, you can both support the important and impactful peaceful protests and support the overwhelming majority of police officers doing the noble and difficult work they do every day.”
And now today after news of the cancellation:
“Shocked & beyond disappointed about this. To the loyal #LivePDNation please know I, we, did everything we could to fight for you, and for our continuing effort at transparency in policing. I was convinced the show would go on. . More to come. .”
Keep in mind that Dan Abrams is not a conservative. This so sucks!

CopAgenda. Any show cop related “ offenses “ the weak I guess.
people don't want to live in reality they want to live in their fake made-up world that's in their mind
these are the same people that had to have Play-Doh sessions with their therapist after Trump won in 2016.

Yeah state rights is a accurate portrayal but they leave out the states rights they were most upset about was slavery.....sure there were underlying issues but at the end of the day no matter how you wanna slice it the civil war was fought to preserve the institution of slavery in the south.
The southern states succession documents mentions slavery pretty much throughout.....and the constitution of the confederacy forbid states from choosing to become non slave states down the road, I mean it literally was in the confederate states constitution that the member states HAD to have slavery and that it was protected.
I am born and bred is eastern NC a southern boy thru and thru, hell my great great grandfather has a CSA tombstone but there is no need to glorify the flags of the treasonous southern rebels who attempted to destroy this nation to preserve something as horrible as slavery. Again it goes to the fact that many white people in this country just dont understand the way blacks see America.....they have a totally different experience and its not really very good at all. Hell I work with older black men that had to go to all black schools and use a DIFFERENT DOOR to go into stores and stuff. This isnt stuff that happened 150 yrs ago this stuff happened in living memory.

Every one wants unicorns and rainbows. But it’s not gonna happen. And I’m sick of people thinking monuments should be taken down to satisfy a certain race. I hope 20k people are waiting outside the next nascar race with a rebel flag just to make a statement!

Everyone wants to live in fairyland and not actually confront what really is going on in the world. They think if we just get rid of everything and ban the stuff they don’t like it will make everything better. Its then that’s living in fairyland, all this does is divide the country even more.
that's what they want because they think the anything that's not soft is crude, and masculinity is barbaric.
Times are changing man. Racism just isn't going to cut it anymore. The monuments are coming down, the people are letting their will be known. Major corporations and businesses are rethinking how to address this. You are watching history being made. This time period will be studied for years.
A&E seemingly sucks for doing this though it may be because the production company on their own decided to stop producing it possibly taking the decision out of the hands of A&E. So, a new production company and maybe a new channel will be needed.

Yeah times are changing into a country that’s a disgrace. Where LGBT is ok and men can go in ladies bathrooms. And Black people thinks whites owe them something. And some people wants the cops to be abolished. And abortions are ok even up to 40weeks. And religion is frowned apon. Yeah Times are changing but doesn’t mean I have to change. I don’t care if I’m the minority. I will always stand by my faith and my beliefs.

Just a quick note. Elon University is well respected for its scientifically done polling fwiw.

It’s disgusting this isn’t the religion thread. But the Bible states a man shall not lay with a man. So LGBT is a sin

Yeah I think Paramount Network is who made the decision but I may be wrong
But does it hurt you in any way? What if someone is born that way? How can they help it?

LGBT is a choice. You chose to be Gay. Does it hurt me no but I don’t think it’s ok either. Because I feel bad because I don’t want anyone burning in hell
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I realize there can be a few exceptions, but in general why in the world would someone choose to be gay as negatively as that is looked upon by many folks and as difficult as that can make their lives? You really don’t think a small % of folks (say, 5-10%) could be born that way? You think people can change their sexual preference?

Your not born Gay no I don’t believe that for a moment

I’m sure there are some folks who chose to be gay due to their political status and the propaganda behind it. Although for people who actually are gay, 100% what you said. There’s a reason LGBT people stay in the closet. Some never come out
