Hey Frank,
I think now would be a good time for you to introduce that ''General History'' Forum because quite a few of the topics that JoshH (and others) bring up have nothing to do with the colorline or Racialism.
Also a ''Misc'' section would also be in order. |

On the plus side, it makes little sense to shoehorn threads on slavery, the Civil War, world history, European history, and especially military history (my original field of study) into either the color line or the ODR.
On the minus side, there are many other website forums out there that handle those topics better than we can, and I would hate to dilute this site's focus on the oddities of U.S. racialism.
Anyone with arguments pro or con, please speak up here. |

I agree with Frank on this
We all have to continue to learn to keep discusssion in the line of this part. group focus, all those parts of history can be brought up within the boundaries of each forums topic... even religion, but just for the sake of discussing takes it off the focus of the group. |
