I think that StatesRights should be considered one of the forums most controversial poster as well. Even though I did not join the forum until a year and a half after he left, I discovered him and some of his "out there" views on many political and social issues while reading through ancient posts.
Here is a small sample of some of the more controversial things he posted:
A family making 260k isn't close to rich.
Like reconstruction actually did? I disagree with you assertion, if slavery had slowly been eliminated I highly doubt racial tensions would have run as high as the did with a mass, forced emancipation.
Like I said before, the only workable way would be to take everything over, de-islam the region, and train the children in the ways of the west. Horrible I know but probably the only valid option.
Yes their definately were good aspects to slavery. The main one being free labor. I don't advocate re-institution of slavery or anything but their are good aspects to it.
If I were on the forum when StatesRights was active, I would probably put many of his posts in the bad post gallery.
His Facebook is a trip. Every once and a while he posts something sane and I wonder if he's for realz or if he's trolling. He's sweet with his kids, though.
His wife used to post intermittently and had quite a bit more sensible political views, IIRC.
