Anti-racism ad campaign in Minnesota town called 'racist' by critics

Learn your history. Lincoln promised to disallow the spread of slavery-the South took this as a threat to their economic and political power.

And the Tariff is just one of the many strategies to combat it.

The "tariffs" you are referring to are perhaps those of 1828. Post 1828 the north and south compromised to lower tarrifs..

The tariffs I am referring to are the ones Lincoln, and his majority Republicans in Congress, promised to pass the first second he got into Washington. They are significantly higher.

The tariffs that were enacted around the time of the civil war-morille or something like that were enacted after much of the south had already seceded giving the north a majority.



A) Morrill Tariff was enacted days before Lincoln got into office

B) 37th United States Congress - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Pro-Tariff Republicans had both houses, Lincoln walks in, no chance in hell Tariff is going to be repealed, the South then throw a temper tantrum.
 
Racism = overt or covert negative behavior toward a particular minority or race.

Racism has nothing directly to do with minorities. The fact you define it that way reveals an error in your though process.
 
The white "separatists" are crypto-Libertarians, they're free traders.

The globalists pretty much have every primary and secondary ideology under control.
 
Genocide must be an attempt to exterminate or destroy an ethnic group.

Wrong. Genocide includes, but is NOT limited to, attempts to exterminate outright an ethnic group. It's pretty pathetic when you post a source identifying definitions and then your (would-be) summary of that source directly contradicts it:

From the link YOU provided:

By 'genocide' we mean the destruction of an ethnic group . . . . Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups . . ..

(bolding mine)

The word goes to motive and that's what separates it from general war slaughter. While disease killed the vast majority of Native Americans, those slaughtered were killed for land. It was simple murderous land grabbing, not an attempt to wipe out a race/ethnic group. And slavery? Not an attempt to destroy or wipe out blacks.

The United States government took deliberately coordinated actions to undermine the basis of each of hundreds of First Nations peoples to exist as a people. That is the very heart of genocide; attempts at destroying a people. Such destruction of a people need not be absolute physical destruction of an individual or individuals; the ability to exist and live as a coherent ethnic group can be destroyed by many means: stamping out the basis of their economy, isolating them from trade or reliable contact with the rest of the world, forced assimilation into abandoning their way of life, destruction of the material and social fabric of their culture, etc.

Chattel enslavement of Africans also involved systematic attempts at destroying peoples; planned breakup of families, mass abduction disrupting community life, a ban on retention of language and custom, and the simple obvious destructive impact of buying and selling human beings has upon any attempt to participate in build a community life.

No, GENE-ocide only includes the deliberate attempt to wipe out an ethnic GENETICALLY based group of people. Got English?

stamping out the basis of their economy,

No, that's called econo-cide, lol

isolating them from trade or reliable contact with the rest of the world,

No, that's called DivideAndConquoer-o-cide, lol

forced assimilation into abandoning their way of life,

No, that's called Nationalism-o-cide, lol


destruction of the material and social fabric of their culture, etc.

Nationalism-o-cide

Chattel enslavement of Africans also involved systematic attempts at destroying peoples;

*scratches head* What are you talking about?

planned breakup of families,

Sounds like slavery, not GENE-ocide.


mass abduction disrupting community life,

Lots of things and stuff do that, sucks I know.

a ban on retention of language and custom,

Like making English the national language? Bummer.

Nobody prevented African slave customs, unless it was like human sacrifice or other barbarisms.

and the simple obvious destructive impact of buying and selling human beings has upon any attempt to participate in build a community life.

That's called "slavery" not GENE-ocide. Got English? Apparently you need a little more English Language forced re-educated.

"Genocide" was coined in 1944 and has nothing to do with genetics. It's a portmanteau word. The Greek "geno", meaning "race" or "tribe" was combined with the Latin "cide" for "killing", by a lawyer called Raphael Lemkin. HE defined it (and it was his word to define,) as:
"A coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves.

Got sense?
