Criminy...........I'm about over this stuff and I'm a damnedyankee for crying out loud.

I've had a confederate flag belt buckle (on my hand tooled belt) since 1975.......and I still lived in NYC at the time, but spent my summers on the west coast of Florida, where I got both. There has been some wear and tear on both the belt and the buckle, but I still wear it, along with the same pair of jeans I first put it on...............

This is going to backfire on the RATS in Virginia. Especially if they nominate Webb. He's got a Confederate history of his own.

We used to have Mississippi Day in Central Park in the 80s in Manhattan

mostly liberal Deep South authors and pundits..Hodding Carter, Wicker, Willie Morris, Tom Wolfe came a few times to try out his latest seersucker in the July heat

We flew the CSA battle flag and the Mississippi state flag....and various alum flags....all on a large lawn in the NE quad of the park...near the reservoir

blacks from Harlem would come eat all the buffet family reunion food we set up....100s of folks

aside from a few Cotton Comes to Harlem jokes...nobody gave a shite

now we are a nation of whiners and folks think past social inequality is the worst thing to have ever happened in recorded history

well, I have news for all of yall

The redress for all that bad stuff my ancestors did is going to prove to be more harmful than what we're redressing

and our enemies both foreign and domestic know this

Actually, yer a "damnyankee" is the appropriate spelling.
