The war of Northern Aggression?! (aka the Civil War)

Ok guys. I admit it.   I grew up in the North.
However, having spent my fair amount of time down here (south), I still hear way too much about :

• The North.  How we destroyed everything Good.
• Slaves.
• Bigotry.
• Why the Confederate flag is NOT racist.
• Why poverty and drugs are a Black thing.
• Why Jefferson Davis deserves to be honored

Ok.  (Lecture mode on!)

Since the massacre of 7 blacks during a Bible study in South Carolina two years ago, it really can't be said that the Confederate flag is anything except a symbol of racial hated, or perhaps a desire for a comeback of white supremacy again.

It's time for ALL Southerners to:

• Repudiate the Confederate flag as a symbol of history.
• Admit that the flag is NOW  symbol of HATE
• Stop trying to deny the North won that war.
• Stop trying to pretend that racism isn't a huge problem in this country.
• Understand that white privilege isn't a birth-right.
