Do you honestly believe that all Southernors are Nazi like if they don't wish to change history or names of historical land marks or change the names of our schools and buildings just because you think that's the way suppose to be?

The neo-confederate or "southern" heritage movement is nazi-like in its use of propaganda. Their whole canto is based on lies, half truths and easily acceptable buzz phrases like "Heritage, not hate." This is Newspeak worthy of the best "1984" propagandist. The -heritage- WAS hate.

Well I love the South, I want the flag back and I'm not a Nazi. I don't have a skin head, I don't have a nazi symbol tatooed on my forehead and I don't hate Blacks so where does that put me? Well i'm not sure but it damn sure ain't no Nazi, you think about that.

Gee I thought Newspeak would be applied to the ones running around rewriting history. How are you so smart to claim that the civil war was all about HATE? They were ALL Americans. HATE is just your way of demonizing. I'm not from the South but my wife is and the "civil war" museums and historical markers are a part of our HISTORY, would you just rewrite it to suit your PC views. Historical context is important. Of course slavery was a stain on America, one that we are still paying for, but WE ended it, a fact we should feel good about.

Were your ancestors here when the indians were pushed off their land? If so then I guess you aren't allowed any pride in your heritage either. If you are of african heritage with ancestors who were slaves then you aren't allowed pride in that case either because according to something I read recently (and I honestly can;t remember where I read it) the first slave owner here was a black man. Africans sold their own people over to the americans to be slaves (abducting men, women, and children) so I guess that means you aren't allowed any African heritage pride either if you think southerners have no right to pride in their history. So why don't you tell us a bit about where you come from before you start telling us what we have a right to be proud of and have no right to be proud of? It's not like we personally owned slaves or even condone the owning of slaves. You can tell us all day that we have no right to be proud of our forefathers but no matter where you come from or who you come from, you will still be a hypocrite.
