The continual redefinition of all things Dixie only as racist is intellectually dishonest.
I am not a southerner by birth but I want to fly this flag just to be in their face.
You have my OK. By the power vested in me by the State of Alabama, you are hereby granted Full Southern Citizenship. I'll email you some cornbread and Sweet tea!
Yall come give Adder a Big Ol Howdy!
Flag vendors saw a huge spike in sales when the lefties removed the SC Battleflag. It's been non-stop ever since. The largest CBF was hoisted in FL a few years ago.
Folks who never thought about the CBF found a new reason to love Dixie. Fly it high! Hurrah!
I'm from Indiana myself and came south with a liberal POV on all things great and small, but my dad's repeated stationings south of Mason and Dixon's line acquainted me with the fact that life in the South wasn't everything that I had been told it was -- and that what I had been taught by my parents and others, handed around like a candy bowl at a formal tea, had consisted largely in caricatures bulging with differences that Northerners found peculiar, comical, or tedious according to their own prejudices, without any sensibility of the fact that they did indeed have prejudices of their own.
Now I live in the South and claim it as my own -- a naturalized Texan now, who assent to the slogan on the bumper sticker:
NATURALIZED TEXAN: I WASN'T BORN HERE,
BUT I GOT HERE AS FAST AS I COULD.
