“The southern blood that runs through my veins”? Nice spox you got there South Carolina. Way to reinforce the idea that southerners are brainless hicks.

Note to self: Remember to enunciate your vowels.

That’s way over the top and racist.

Little doggie says what?

Edit to add: I guess “southern” is a race now.

I thought it was Mountain Dew that ran through rebel veins. Or is it Oxycontin? I can never remember.

Witness the next generation. This unfortunate young man is only the mouthpiece of the family, community and culture he was raised in. Can someone please forward this to the SCOTUS about how far the South has come from intuitional racism?

More importantly for the “cause” he got his picture on the internet and we all know that if it is on the internet it has to be “the truth” pfffft

He will dine on this picture and glory for years to come and that may be the best his life has to offer, racist, violent, and undereducated.

One simply cannot separate that damned Confederate rag from it’s history.

Excellent article in the Washington Post:

Excerpt: [After the war, a few ex-Confederates expressed similar disgust with
the insistence that defense of slavery had not been the cause of the
war. Confederate veteran Ed Baxter unashamedly told a reunion in 1889:
“In a word, the South determined to fight for her property right in
slaves; and in order to do so, it was necessary for her resist the
change which the Abolitionists proposed to make under the Constitution
of the United States as construed by them. . . Upon this issue the South
went to war, I repeat that the people of the South had the right to
fight for their property”. . . . Famed Confederate partisan leader
Colonel John S. Mosby was equally forthright. “I’ve always understood
that we went to war on account of the thing we quarreled with the North
about,” he wrote a former comrade in 1894. “I’ve never heard of any
other cause than slavery.” Mosby, [South Carolina politician
Robert Barnwell] Rhett, [Confederate President] Davis, [Vice President
Alexander] Stephens, and other Confederates had no difficulty conceding
what their descendants go to enormous lengths to deny: that the raison
d’être of the Confederacy was the defense of slavery. It follows that,
as the paramount symbol of the Confederate nation and as the flag of the
armies that kept the nation alive, the St. Andrew’s cross is inherently
associated with slavery. ]

It’s not the blood running through your veins that is the problem. It’s the shit you have for brains.

Ever see what happens when you drop an oxycontin into a bottle of Mountain Dew? Neither have I; Bubba always gulps it down before any reaction can begin…

With a good ol’ boy like that it would probably be methamphetamines.

I suppose Southern Culture is pretty much white (Confederate flag, separate-but-equal, conservatism, fried whatever), unless you need to talk about actual culture… like music, poetry, food, writing, art… then suddenly it gains multi-racial participation.

Nitpick: That flag isn’t the Stars and Bars. The Stars and Bars is the 1st national flag.
