re: #77 Belafon

Yeah, it was part of the larger plan to extend slavery everywhere. But the Confederacy never had a government here and it’s bullshit. We have enough problems with racism without having that crap here. And the irony is, if a Mexican American rode around in a truck with a US flag on the right and a Mexican flag on the left, s/he might get shot at. And Arizona was a territory of Mexico until the completion of the Gadsden Purchase (yes, it’s a chunk of southern Arizona, not the entire state, but still).
