"Shelby Foote wrote The Civil War, but he never understood it. Understanding the Civil War was a luxury his whiteness could ill-afford."

Whose quote is this? If from a historian, they are just wholly jealous that Foote’s trilogy will still be enjoyed 200 years ago while the historian’s book on whiteness and blackness in a single Kentucky border town will be out of print by the end of the year

what does it even mean really? that to really understand the civil war would have been painful for foote because it would have made him feel bad about his complicity due to his whiteness?

it means nothing and you know it means nothing. We should not even engage with this kind of gibberish. Just say "no that's wrong it doesn't make sense" and move on.

If you try to engage it with thoughtful or reasoned analysis you're giving it more credit than it deserves

obviously the true and literal meaning here is "white man bad" but he'd never just say that; he's trying to make it sound intellectual and nuanced. The best way to counter this is just say no, this emperor has no clothes, there's nothing intellectual or even intelligible about this statement. Stop humoring them.

You have to understand that the raggedy Confederate soldier who owned no slaves and probably couldn't even read the Constitution, let alone understand it, when he was captured by Union soldiers and asked, 'What are you fighting for?' replied, 'I'm fighting because you're down here.'

When Burns's documentary aired in September 1990, Foote appeared in almost 90 segments, about one hour of the 11-hour series.
