I was born in a northern state, but my Mom had the good sense to take us southward when I was still very young. I consider myself southern, by attitude and by choice. I like sweet tea. I say 'yes ma'am and no sir' automatically, and if I do not know your name, I will call you ma'am or sir.
I expect my children to get up if someone older needs their chair, and they had better open doors for people. We like to call it manners.
There are so many things involved in the southern culture, and most of them are great. Some are only good, and one truly stinks. The stinky one is palmetto bugs, or what yankees call a cockroach. This is a cockroach, except it can fly and bite and is about the size of a toddler's foot. Seriously.
In the south, the war of northern aggression is still being fought. Every single day. It was never about slavery, in the way that every libtard screams. Slaves were the smallest part of it, and if Lincoln could have kept slavery and saved the Union, I don't doubt that he would have. No, the Civil War was fought because the Federal Government was involved in a great big over reach and Southern states believed in more autonomy. Sound familiar?
So now, in order to distract the truly mindless from his latest failures, B.O. and his pals- the msm- are screaming bloody murder over the existence of the Confederate Flag.
It's a symbol of hate they whine, not understanding the culture. It's a symbol of racism they pout, ignoring the many many non whites who proudly display one. The Confederate Flag. much like the Gadsden Flag, is a symbol of defiance against the tyranny of those who would tell us what to do when we can decide for ourselves, thankyouverymuch.
Yes, you will see ignorant people in sheets waving one on occasion. Sometimes I see a really ignorant person waving a Mexican flag ( like the ungrateful illegal who mooched our services and educational system, stealing the place of a citizen, and then bragged up Mexico, instead) but that doesn't encompass the flag.
A Confederate flag will make almost any Southerner smile. It is an act of defiance, a thumbed nose, an extended middle finger.
If Walmart and Amazon are so quick to join in with the intolerant crowd, then they ought not ever sell anything with an X on it. Malcolm X was as racist as they come, but a racism that was acceptable, I guess.
No more double standards. If one group can have their culture and traditions, then we all can. Quit trying to be offended when you have no idea of the history you are misquoting. Think about it, you'll thank me later.
