I want you to enlighten us. I am a victim of my "elitist" New England and far West liberal, educated upbrining. Please, tell me all about Southern Heritage, and why it's so wonderful and consuming.
Noboby down here really cares about your New England heritage,don't you get it.Ya'll spend all this energy worried about our heritage and nobody cares.Hollywood movies based on the south,books written,being stereotyped daily,who cares.I know there is a certain mystic about the south but come on.Is that it,are ya'll lonely because nobody thinks about New England.I tell you what,you keep on spending time on thinking about Dixie,I must tend to my still
Did I say it was wonderful and consuming? No, I didn't but it is much more so than the New England area of our country. I will say this, people like you who hate for the sake of hating are not worth any time, so that being said....go get educated before you post things that show how ignorant you are about the subject at hand.
I never said I hated anyone. If you'll look back through the thread, I expressed admiration, even preference, for the Southern region. My previous comments specifically addressed the Confederate flag.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL Ok, let's talk about the past...the long ago past. Ya'll have fun hating for hate's sake.
I'm talking about growing up in South Carolina in the 60s, when stores had three restrooms for "men", "women", and "colored".
The klan used to have rallies about three miles from where I am sitting. I never attended one, but I remember driving past them a dozen times or more.
West Columbia across the Congaree River from here had a lot more activity than we did here. Google "Maurice Bessinger" if you want to see what the old guard looked like. He owns a lot of BBQ restaurants here and ran for governor in 1974 wearing a three piece white suit and looking a lot like Colonel Sanders. His billboards depicted him in that ridiculous suit sitting astride a white horse.

Not in the least symbolic.
Yep, I went to college in SC. I love that state and they did have a sordid past when it came to slavery and the treatment of blacks. But that is not what they are these days, so get on with your life and stop living in the past. People who live in the past are what causes the problems in this country more than many other things.
