RationalWiki's 2019 Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff – we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

If everyone who saw this today donated $5, we would meet our goal for 2019.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Donations so far: $3220Goal: $6000

We are on RW 3.0. Rule of thumb, don't edit debates that haven't been active for a while. Cheers.

    Also, you can edit pages if you feel like it. This is a wiki, if your edits are crap I have teh magic rollback button.

        Just don't be like this guy and I'm sure everything will work out just fine.

          ТyTalk.17:57, 10 March 2011

          Really?

            Yes, the Confederacy was founded over states' rights and NOT racism.

              Before this gets out of hand, I need to at least try to adjust your goat levels.

              Hopefully this works, or I will be forced to demolish your fervently held beliefs using facts, which takes longer.

                The Confederates' formal reason for secession was to preserve states' rights, but by far the biggest reason they wanted the states' rights was to preserve slavery.

                  I am saying the CSA, the government and country was not racist. I know that most Confederates were racist, but so was most Northerners.

                  Also, Dishonest Abe didn't care about slavery.

                    All right, what author passes for an "historian" in your school, some neo-Confederate whitewasher or Howard Zinn?

                    We have a quote addressed to people who believe that slavery was not the cornerstone of the Confederacy. You might also have a look at the Confederate Constitution, article I, section 9, paragraph 4.

                      Yeah, it was about states' rights to protect slave owners rights. "All right, what author passes for an "historian" in your school..." Thomas DiLorenzo, no doubt.

                        Zinn is a bona fide historian, LX, however much you disagree with him. He is a revisionist, not a negationist or a denialist.
