"Do you believe that criticism of the political leadership, goals and objectives of the Confederacy of 1861-65 is the same as "bashing" the people of the South today?"
Regardless of the lofty ideals of those doing the criticism, it usually winds up as a bashfest. But then I've been experiencing Southern-bashing for over sixty years, so I guess I'm slightly thin-skinned.
Care to point me to some that is even 10% of what stand waite does on each and every post?
And please -- to the question. Do you consider condemnation of the Slavocracy of the 1860s, the rise of the Klan or of Jim Crow as a insult directed to you? I'm not trying to trap you. I am curious as to why this is so with some.
