[From article] We do this over and over and over. It's not hard to figure why outsiders refer to us as: "Richmond, the Capital of the Confederacy . . . "

That's code, of course, for: "Richmond, still racist and stupid 140 years after the Civil War ended . . . "

It needn't be that way.

That's right, pal. Just get on I-95, point it north, and keep going until you get to Philly. They'll understand your POV completely, and you'll fit right in.

You'll even like the Philly cheese steak sandwiches, I'm sure.

Is this guy for real? It's referred to as the Capital of the Confederacy because IT WAS THE CAPITAL OF THE CONFEDERACY! The Confederate White House is there for all to see.
People from Richmond and the rest of VA know that or at least in my day they did. Don't they still teach US history in schools there?
