Ironic considering he's from West Virginia, which split from Virginia over slavery and fought on the side of the Union during the Civil War. So does that mean he's a hard core Confederate who is ashamed that his state sided with the union? Or more likely, doesn't have the slightest idea about his home states history.
I know. You tell people that but, for West Virginia, there would be 49 states and they don’t get it.

Paisley grew up a few miles from where I grew up. I'm about 10 years older than him, leaving WV about the same time he graduated high school.
The Civil War isn't a big thing there. I never heard it mentioned in the 25 years I lived there. There's no Union or Confederate celebrations or such. I never saw a Confederate flag the whole time I lived there.
I like Paisley, but he's not talking about where he grew up.
Focus is always on “the South” when it comes to racism. As if Boston, New York, Detroit, Chicago, and Los Angeles don’t have any racist past or present.
