But Malcom X and Huey P Newton are Marveled - but as far as violence goes , it WAS used at one time by each as a tactic , the confederate south wasn't strictly about enslavement - what does Encharta say ???

I grew up, up north but my fam is southern
I have some old confederate money and a sword my ancestor carried as a confederate general
I always heard stories about the Yanks burning crops and all that was left for the family was collards and black eyed peas on the field cause the yanks said 'no one would eat that shit'

We have those 2 veggies every New Year's Day

But i guess some 'brews will outlaw some more shit from 150years ago that offends them

When I was doing security work and I had no internet access, I'd just pop it in and keep up with my studies. Not only that, material in Encarta was controlled...wikipedia can be changed by any moron.

I remember a fact study between those two, and they had about the same error rate. This was at least 10-15 years ago. WP's quality is prob much better these days.
