Now we're at the sealion cavalcade of questions while dodging already-asked points. This is step 3.

Step 4 is the insult and caps phase.

edit: Easy as googlin', you only ask in hopes that I don't have an answer

Im questioning how accurate those narratives are. The slave accents are very exaggerated and at the time, White people were known for fabricating and exaggerating narratives and quotations of Black people. I wouldn't be surprised if some false quotes were made to make their KKK look not as violent or racist in some of these narratives

Something similar happened with Sojourner Truth. She was a Northerner that spoke 4 languages and proper English, but when White narrators wrote down some of her speeches they'd write them with exaggerated slave accents

For example it doesn't make sense how nearly every former slave in the narrative refers to themselves as n-words.

Also the fact that they are saying that they're glad to receive whippings from the KKK because they were lazy and needed to get back to work seems ridiculous as well and seems like more of a false fabricated narrative than something any real formerly enslaved person said.

The South was known for trying to invent false narratives and revisionist history to justify their part in slavery and the Civil War

Some quotes below

Nawm, I warnt afeered of no Ku Klux, said Aunt Hannah Irwin. At fust I though dat dey was ghosties and den I wuz afeered of em, but atter I found out dat Massa Bennett wuz one of dem things, I wuz always proud of em.

Leroy Day thought the Klan initially served a good purpose: No, I think the Ku Klux was a good thing at that time. The darkies got sassy (saucy), trifling, lazy. They was notorious. They got mean. The men wouldnt work.

Above quotes makes no sense. Since when did Black people ever refer to themselves as "darkies" and why would they? That's more like something a southern white person at that time would say

The K.K.K. never bothered us, Aunt Mittie Freeman said, They was gathered together to bother Nwords and whites what made trouble. If you tended to your own business, theys let you alone.

Wouldn't make sense for a former slave to refer to themselves as nwords, and in the same breath refer to Caucasians as whites

Albert Means thought the Klan did some good for African-Americans: Then come de Ku Klux and scared some sense into my color. . .

So he's happy that the Ku Klux Klan came and scared sense into Black people/ "his color"? Obviously fake. When Black people refer to themselves they never say "my color", they'll say my people or something else instead.

Will Adams members when that Ku Klux business starts up. Smart NWords causes that. The carpet-baggers ruint the nwords and the white men couldnt do thing with them, so they got up the Ku Klux and stirs up the world. N-Words got so bad atter dey got deir freedom dat de Ku Kluxers come round and made em behave deirselfs,

Another obvious fake quote coming from a White Southerner. An ex slave saying NWords were so bad after they got their freedom they needed the KKK to knock some sense on then so that they'd behave? What?

Also it was Southern Whites that referred to northerners as Carpetbaggers. Not the former slaves

More quotes"

Anderson Furr said, and One of dem Kluxers come to our house and set down and talked to us bout how us ought to act, and how us was goin to have to do, if us spected to live and do well. Us allus thought it was our own old Marster, all dressed up in dem white robes wid his face kivvered up, and a-talkin in a strange, put-on lak, voice. None of Marsters N-Words never left him for bout two or three years. The Klan had fun, James Bolton thought, and went after troublemakers and free roaming people who needed straightening out, or as Pet Franks said, de bad ones. Because it was the only way to keep order, Prince Johnson rode with the Klan many a time. African-Americans could justly determine which of their race needed chastisement, and we will never know how many rode with the Klan or informed on local degenerates.

According to Thomas Cole, de KKK done lots good things such as threaten a lazy ex-slave who did not support his wife and children and whip a known thief who did not have an honest job. About the thief, Thomas Cole said, He sho was whipped good and as soon as he could get a job he went ter work.

So Thomas Cole an ex slave, is allegedly happy that the KKK whipped another ex-slave good so that he would get back to work? Another fake quote.

They all read like caricatures of what former Confederates would want Black people to speak and behave like. Not of what they actually behaved like.

These narratives were by the state of Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, Georgia and Mississippi. It would not be surprising for them to make up some fake quotations to serve as defense for their actions in slavery and the civil war and after with the KKK. Basically they're saying these "nwords" actually like the KKK. Everything is fine no need for Federal government intervention in the KKKs terrorism down here

Right there's revisionist history going on now. So for it to happen back then is no surprise

i don't understand how tankies can so readily deny what it looks like is happening in China, but then have no problems pointing to the USA border overload as genocide.

the non-tankies i know have clear and consistent views on improving both situations, but the tankies refuse all nuance. this test exposes people tbh.
