White Southerners have been under attack since 1860.

the Latino Victory Fund—to push this horrific ad, showing a supporter of Republican candidate Ed Gillespie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before George W. Bush was President, Virginia was English speaking, low crime and Republican.
There were few latinos until Gillespie and his friends flooded the country with fraudulently documented foreigners.

I was born and raised in Wisconsin, but have lived in Virginia for most of my adult life.
After moving to the middle of all of this history I became active in historical preservation and have donated thousand s of dollars to that end.
I deeply resent the effort to erase the history, any history.

Only half? What’s wrong with the other half?

[Know et al]

Only half?!?!?

[King Moonracer]

Some of us white northerners are under attack too. How many people feel their job would be threatened if they revealed their support for President Trump? Long gone are the days when “I like Ike” was acceptable.

[Maelstorm]

Its not just southerners. Anyone who is white and Christian in any real way is under attack. If they don’t know it they are idiots. I can tune into any cable network and hear “white” racial smears used as disqualifiers simply because of race and often “male” gender. The only open racism tolerated is against whites and its not misogyny but misandry that is most prevalent.

I bet that would apply to most any group
be they white, black, Asian or Latino.

Simply because we are Christians, Conservatives, Patriots, faithful to our wives and children, love our state (Alabama), back our conservative leaderships, and back our military personnel wherever they go in harms way. Just one of the things I mentioned above gets us targeted by the left. In fact, go read the Scriptures. God puts the good on His right and the bad on His left. That is mentioned a few times in Scripture.

Only half? What’s wrong with the other half?

Their mamas taught them that if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

“White Southerners have been under attack since 1860.”

And yankees are worse now more than ever. The march to the sea never ended.

This means the point spread of the Roy Moore election will be important throughout the South. If he wins big enough, it will inspire a lot of southern politicians to run as strong conservatives. As in, more than they are now.

[ZULU]

They are. So are white northern conservatives and non-white conservatives.
It’s political, not regional or racial.

When I visited my son in Seatttle ( one of the least diverse cities in America)

I had to listen to a rant about white privilege at a party.
The next rant was about slavery as if America invented it.
To the rest of America it seems as if the South is nothing but a land of KKK ex slaveowners who oppress all minorities.
Frankly I am tired of this shit.
Especially from folks who believe that wikipedia is the source of knowledge.

[suthener]

I don’t “feel” like I’m under attack. I know damn well that I’m under attack.

[rockrr]

They are under attack....but then so are the rest of us.

[BobL]

The other half of white southerners might want to grab a look at the comments section of The Hill, Politico, Huffington Post and other political publications if they DO NOT think they’re under attack.

They will not like what is being said about them.

[zerosix]

Half “feel” (understand) they are under attack, the other half voted for Hillary or no comprendo English!

Most of us in Atlanta just feel like we are living in a foreign country.
