I feel a poem comin on. It starts out I see pee cee.
I grew up in the south, in the fifties, VA AL TX.
Days of “save your confederate money boys, the south will rise again”, Uncle Remus, blacks in the back of the bus, colored water fountains, etc.
I keep hoping Disney will relent, and finally release “Song of the South” again as they have promised for years. A wonderful movie. I could use a few zippity do da moments.
To damn many people too sensitive about our history. It is what it is, so live with it. It is the only history we have and it was good, usually leading to better, but I’m not so sure now.
Has legislated desegregation gotten us anywhere? As I see it, we are more separate and segregated now, than we were in the fifties.
Just some thoughts.
Well, the south had cotton, tobacco, and the Southern Heritage flag. They have demonized tobacco and the flag and theres not much cotton left. I guess we can always cling to our guns and religion, at least for awhile.
“Has legislated desegregation gotten us anywhere? As I see it, we are more separate and segregated now, than we were in the fifties.”
You are right, not that I condone segregation today, but as
I grew up in Memphis, blacks were happier segregated then they are today. Now, they just kill each other, and seem even more unhappy with their lives.
I agree.
