Well, Allen, if you have indeed, as you assert, read all of Douglass' works, and Litwack's "Been in the Storm So Long" & etc [by the by, you appear to have read the only one of Foner's several dozen works that has nothing to do with the issues under discussion] and can STILL maintain the points you do in the face of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary that these authors present and document, I can make but two suggestions:

1. RE-read the volumes, this time for comprehension & retention,

or

2. Take up Holocaust denial as a cause- you seem uniquely intellectually and tempermentally suited to it.

Best, Greg
