In my youth I recall the disgust that Americans had with communist countries that went into other countries and immediately started removing statues, flags and other historic symbols to crush them down and break their spirit. Imagine my revulsion at seeing my fellow Northerners doing the same thing with the South and its history.
Wasn’t it enough for them that they burnt down 70 percent of their buildings, stole their silver and jewelry and stuck their women in burning buildings to die a horrible death? How about banning the flag of the New Black Panthers who openly speak of killing whites in a race war? As far as I am concerned, if liberals and blacks don’t like the South, then don’t live there. Before you get on your high horse you better take ownership of the atrocities your vaunted superior moral principles were responsible for that were not reciprocated by the South. What hubris! Please find something more substantive to whine about.
