>2014>still thinking having southern pride is white powerPeople seriously make me laugh. I've seen and known blacks that display Confederate battle flags and have pride as a southerner. It's not about racism; it's a culturally identity of restricting an over-reaching national government that contradicts what the Constitution says. Being pride of heritage shouldn't be something negative, it should be a positive

Does that mean the North is equally as racist and it's racist to sing the Star Spangled Banner and wave Old Glory around? After all, before the War of Northern Aggression, northern states had slavery also. And what about Lincoln? He wanted to deport the freed slaves initially. Plus freeing the salves was ONLY for the purpose of winning a war. He wasn't concerned about it till he realized the North had the possibility of loosing as the South only had to conduct a defensive campaign, not an offensive one
