Unfortunately, many that represent the American South have inherited the bigotry of their ancestors, who were caught up in the propaganda the wealthy perpetrated upon them such as; it’s patriotic to fight for the rich slave owners who wanted to secede from the Union in order to protect their economic well-being. These slave owners were educated and knew how to create the false idea that kidnapped African human beings were not quite human and therefore could be treated like cattle (which strangely enough, were treated better than the human livestock). It is changing and many with a long history of living in Southern America are starting to ask critical thinking questions like,  “why are we maintaining the idea that dark complexions are less than those with lighter pigmentation?” but it’s not fast enough. Perpetuating names of public establishments that were designated during times of insensitive fanaticism, names of those who represented the unequivocal cruelty of the past, is not a way to accelerate the needed changes that are required for equality. Please change the name of this school, just because Nathan Bedford Forrest has a place in history doesn't mean his name should live on as a symbol of the South because he represents all that was brutal and without mercy in Southern culture. We need to celebrate the humanism that went on during those dark days of the Southern Plantations by honoring those brave people who fought against tyranny and there were many.

Slavery and the Civil War, Not What You Think

EXCERPT: The South started and lost a war that nearly destroyed the United States. The cause was unjust, the economic justification unseemly. The actions were treasonous. There is no part of the Confederate cause of which to be proud. There is no moral high ground here. Southerners who claim a deep national pride celebrate their ancestors' efforts to dissolve the very union of states whose flag they now so proudly fly. They honor a campaign to destroy our country through dissolution but claim the mantle of patriot. A southern loyalist cannot be a patriot; the two ideals are mutually incompatible. As I have said before, you cannot simultaneously love the United States and love the idea of seceding from the United States. To claim both is equivalent of declaring that you love all Mexican food but hate enchiladas. The claims are each exclusive of the other and therefore by definition both cannot be true.

The war was about a principle, state sovereignty and the right of secession, that would destroy the United States; the example of that issue was the right to own slaves. Neither cause should induce pride. As we celebrate this 150 year anniversary, the South should humbly honor the victory of the North and ask forgiveness for waging a bloody war against reason and decency.

Here is a brief history of the man named Nathan Bedford Forrest:http://en.wikipedia.org/...

Nathan Bedford Forrest (July 13, 1821 – October 29, 1877) was a lieutenant general in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. He is remembered both as a self-educated, innovative cavalry leader during the war and as a leading southern advocate in the postwar years. He served as the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, but later distanced himself from the organization.
