DawgTalkers.net Forums Thread Like Summary - States’ Rights

Over 150 years ago, we fought a civil war over secession. States seceded with charters, and in these primary source documents these states listed the right of a state to own slaves as a primary cause for secession. If you want to come swinging at me that I’m wrong with my points about slavery, go check the primary source documents yourself.

Lately we’ve seen states roll back voting rights and now abortion access under the guise of states’ rights.

Before I was born, a policy of segregation and Jim Criw existed under the guise of states’ rights.

So I ask all of you the following question. How come certain states have used states’ rights to restrict the rights and humanity of Americans that belong to minority groups? I thought we settled this back in the 1860s and 1960s that such practices were unamerican.

Only people from the planet Zicron never enslaved a race of people in our nation. Once again I see this somewhere in the middle. Does what these kids are doing impact the life of anyone? No. And if that's the point you're trying to make here, we agree.

But somewhere, somehow these kids got this notion in their heads this was a good idea. Where that idea came from is the bigger issue and I think how that happened is something we should care about.
