This has big "I'm not a Nazi, I just like the uniforms OK????" energy.
Not to Godwin this whole thing or anything, but...part of growing as a person is learning to let go of the problematic shit you identified with in ignorance
@jakebe
I'm confused. Is Northern history not tied to slavery?

@jakebe I have no problem dunking on the words as they were written. Once released into the world, the text exists as an independent entity. I don't have to know anything about who said them to have an opinion about them.
Absent a clear delineation of what aspects of "Southern culture" (barbecue! country and western! line dancing!) they're talking about, I have no reason to think they're not talking about white supremacy.
And I don't want to dunk on @/foxmusk; I don't know him, and I'm willing to take his comments at face value.
But..."liking" your Southern history is a flag to me. Southern history is one of racist terror, subjugation, dehumanization, willful, violent, malicious bigotry.
