Black Confederates on YouTube

Check out the lyrics:

My master was a good man

He used to treat me kind

When I seen him killed in battle

I swear I lost my mind….

And black is nothing other
than a darker shade of Rebel grey

    no, I’m pretty sure the singer in this is an African-American, and this isn’t made up there were Black Confederates according to the Library Of Congress. You should go do some research it’s interesting.

    Wow. “I killed a dozen bluecoats.”

    WTF? So the (white) singer is ventriloquizing for the black Sgt. York?

    “I fought to save my Dixie, my home and cotton fields.”

    I’m almost literally speechless.
