I love the South and Southerners...

Why I bet some of your best friends are Southerners /rolls eyes/s

Finding self-glorifying neo-Confederate mythology distasteful is hardly the same as finding the South or its people distasteful.

I have read none of this "self-glorifying neo-Confederate mythology ". on this board.

If simply stating the facts with a few personal opinions thrown in is too much for you sensibilities then I suggest you limit you opinions to yourself. Especially around southern folk who don't kindly to rash statements concerning their ancestors.

Thank you very much.

I've never understood why having friends among a designated group is considered to be dispositive proof of ill feelings toward that group.

It seems an irrational import from the leftist world onto this board.

My reference was to the article under discussion, and the conceit of the Confederados, as should be perfectly clear.

Especially around southern folk who don't kindly to rash statements concerning their ancestors.

I had no idea all Southerners' ancestors had fled America to live in Brazil. I was under the impression that 99.9% of Southerners' ancestors had not fled their homes to live in South America, but actually stayed.
