Any burning crosses found in April will be strictly coincidental.

Southern GOP:
We loved slavery under confederacy: No wages to pay, no tax, no black president. Life was good. It will make us all very rich if we bring it back.

I’m appreciative that the Confederacy surrendered to the United States of America on April 9th, 1865.

I’m a big 'ole patriot like that.

Bryant said Mississippi residents should “earnestly strive to understand our heritage.”

I’m all for that. How about “Mississippi Heritage Month”, that focuses on the entire history of the state, and even the pre-Revolutionary history. This is the same kind of asshattery that gave rise to the Confederate monuments, flags, and other bullshit in the 40s and 50s, that were all about racism and slavery and not about the actual pride or history of the state.

Crackers will always try to find a way.

Doesn’t Wal-Mart have “Super Saver Saturdays” or something like that?

Don’t generalize. Our resident Protector Of The Southern Good Name will be here to chastise you from his fainting couch (which I assume is up on blocks in the weeds in front of his trailer).

He’s probably somewhere denouncing the phrase “attention whoring.” Gets him more worked up than a slur on the South.

I had to kill like six hours in Jacksonville, once.

Never could find the good part of town, despite lots of driving.
