I was being sarcastic (somewhat) when I said the South liked the socialist handouts that came its way during the New Deal (but there were -- and still are -- some Southerners who think they are entitled to all they can get from the federal government because of the oppression of Reconstruction).

And I'll repeat that they are no different than those who want reparations for slavery.

I don't agree with that sentiment; I was just reporting it. Now, your non-sequitur about me being for slavery reparations is comepletely out of left field, and you obviously have never read any of my other posts on the subject, because if you had, you'd have clearly seen my staunch opposition to any such tribute.

I think it's clear that you agreed with those that wanted reparations until I pointed out your inconsistency. Otherwise you would've made it clear in the first place that you were against them.

Reparations for imagined grievances obviously, let me add. It was the South that should've paid restitution to the North for not following the Constitution, if anyone was to pay for wrongdoing.
