So according to you, Southern slavery wasn't inherently prejudice or racist, but I am for claiming (rather correctly, I might add) that it was?

Like I said, I don't continue to hold slavery against Southerners, if I still did I might as well just hate all Americans for what was done to the Natives. But we're not talking about my feelings on Southerners, we're talking about whether or not slavery was or was not racist, or worth "demonizing."
