Leftists really think that white Southerners are all conspiring to insult black people, that spiting black people is what white Southern life revolves around. Probably because spite is what drives leftists, everything they do is an underhanded middle finger, so they assume that everyone else operates the same way.
In any event, thank god the right is finally starting to grow a spine again. Everyone who said the erasure of Confederate symbols would lead to a slippery slope was immediately vindicated when only a few years down the line the 1619 Project came out of nowhere, and suddenly what academic historians think stopped mattering.
When academic historians say that slavery was the primary cause of the civil war, you can't dispute that because "trust the experts." But when some crazy bitch posts a bunch of crap that academic historians regard as crackpot revisionism and refuse to give the crazy lady a professorship, the NYT threatens the uni with riots to force their hand.
And once Confederate symbols became socially unacceptable, the "deplorables" started to just dial American symbols up to eleven, so they had to contrive how that's somehow racist too. But where there's at least a kernel of truth in the claim that the Confederacy was founded to preserve slavery (albeit one that gets spun out into what would be dismissed as a "conspiracy theory" in any other context), the notion that the US itself was founded to preserve slavery is just batshit.
I use Confederate erasure as a litmus test for who's a real nigga on the right vs who's a fake-ass bitch nigga. Because we saw in real time symbols that had long grown innocuous and even charming suddenly become extreme taboos, after a very small group of people decided that they're no longer acceptable. A characteristically dishonest media blitz founded on gravestanding being pushed relentlessly by a bunch of psychopathic ghouls in order to make mundane fixtures of Southern and redneck culture into something that's only allowed to be interpreted as having the most sinister hidden meaning, and like the cowards they are Con Inc allowed this brazen campaign of social engineering to proceed unchallenged.
Confederate symbolism needs to be brought back, as a way of showing that we won't let the vampires pervert symbols of pride and virtue into symbols of evil. Being able to grasp that a symbol can evolve beyond the most autistic literalist interpretation thereof is the crux of so much leftist bullshit, there's a lot of power in being able to frame anyone who disagrees with them as necessarily harboring a sinister ulterior motive. And Con Inc gave them the power to do that.

...Having lived in the North, and in the South for an extended period of time, I find it rather telling that I interact with Black Americans more here in Texas than when I lived in Iowa. Most of the time, people get along just fine. White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, whatever.
Of course, if you pay attention to the clothes a lot of these Leftists wear, the cars they drive, etc. you start to see what's really going on. Rich and upper-middle class brats mad at Mommy and Daddy with a romanticized/fetishised view of the Working Class, but too rich to actually interact with the Filthy Proles.
If you see a contradiction in that last statement, good. That's the point.
But because all their friends are "communists," they can't actually come out and say, "I don't really like poor people," so they project that contempt onto other issues and call us all racists so they look good.
Off-topic, but Hell, one of the reasons I like Donald Trump is that in spite of his wealth and life of comfort, he seems to actually like and respect working class people. He's totally at ease around the working class.

It's not even that he likes working class people.
It's just that he doesn't constantly shit on them like all the other beltway blowhards.

Well said.

Just my two bits.
It's not even that he likes working class people.

That simple little distinction is all he needed.
that too, lol
