[This thread aims at divisiveness. We have enough of that already.]
The divisive people are those who are trying to take down monuments all over the South, and those who are always mocking the South.
I never claimed any “Southern superiority” to anyone. Southerners do not stop others from celebrating their culture and heritage.
I made it clear in my post that I respect Native Americans and Blacks. But Southerners have become the punching bag of the nation, and are the only people that you can insult, without consequence.
Are you comfortable as a Southerner, being the butt of jokes in this country. Are you comfortable having your ancestors constantly portrayed as monsters? And you are accusing me of being divisive? How so? By calling for Southerners and their culture to be treated with more respect?
Why don’t you tell those who are always mocking and insulting Southerners, to stop being divisive? Southerners only want to be left alone to celebrate their culture, without being called names.
Your argument is based on a false premise.
I have never felt mocked or insulted, even when I lived in the North with a Southern accent.
Get over it. These are crucial times for our nation, and your gripe is a non-issue.

Worth repeating! Amen.
The only time I see Southerners being mocked is when they try to rewrite History and pretend the Civil War was about something other than slavery.
