My mom once said she’d love to ask these people how a long dead confederate general is holding them back. Also, aren’t these the people who want history to be known? Relevant to the local area. I grew up in Oklahoma and there was a lot of stuff named after Native Americans, so in the south it shouldn’t be surprising to have stuff named for confederate soldiers.
One of the few "concessions" the Yankees gave the South during Reconstruction was to allow statues of their soldiers. To honor their sacrifice and valor, so they haven't died in vain.
Of course, now that everyone from the Civil War is long dead, and their descendants thoroughly propagandized, the Northern aggressors reneged on that deal as well.
Just amazes me to see people get so worked up over it. Go to any area and the names/monuments will reflect the history. I’ve lived in Texas half my life and you have a mix of confederate history along with Spain/Mexican history since it was once a part of Mexico.
I remember learning about those concessions. Funny story, recently someone got on my case for saying I want to binge Dukes of Hazard since I haven’t seen it since I was a little kid. They asked me if I was aware what the flag on the car was lol
It's not even their descendants, it's people who moved in after 1965 and have no historical connection to anything but do understand how racial grievance politics work.
Back when I was a kid, we didn't take sides in the Civil War. Those were all Americans. And far enough removed from any of us, except maybe in family stories, that we had a certain distance from the conflict. Some people today act like they're in it.
Yankee faggots like to bitch about the South getting welfare money, even though it goes to poor niggers who they pretend to want to give welfare. If you say: Stop giving our niggers money, they won't like it.

Where I grew up black families fly Confederate Flags just the same as white ones.
Explaining that to "anti-racist" people outside the South is like teaching a toddler calculus. Just blank stares.
Same thing when you tell them there are black members of the Sons of the Confederacy.

Yankee faggots like to simultaneously lord over their conquest of the South and bitch about how the South is a drain on the nation.

Certain parts of it are, but not exactly the parts they’d ever admit. Just as certain parts of the North are, to which they’ll never admit.
