A humorous rationale on why Southerners need to give up the confederacy

The answers comes towards the end of the clip. Backstory: TV show The Bachelor which has been on the air since 2002 finally got around to getting a black one. One of the white female contestants attended an Antebellum party back in 2018. Host of the show was asked about it by a black reporter and....the rest is explained in this clip

Since conservatives seem to be unfazed with the rational the Confederacy was pro slavery and totally racist maybe they will be receptive to this funny bit of logic

How is this relevant? Hating people who are from the South? Who are part of its culture?

Did she don a hood or raise a flag, or act out in any way? Is she judged for her character or her actions or is it an attack on where she is from?
 
During and after reconstruction all residents of the southern states should have been allowed only 1/2 of a vote in national elections until they agreed to stop displaying confederate flags and stop saying they will rise again. I suspect those tricky bastards would have just increased the number of offspring they created with their own sisters to offset the numbers anyway.

As a Yankee I'm sure they wouldn't take kindly to my remarks, but I don't take kindly to traitorous people that think owning other people is okay, so fuck 'em.

I made it most of the way through the clip, I'll have to listen later tonight as I'm done with work. No spoilers please!

Her attending that party is part of the story. My guess her situation is born out of her ignorance and what she earned from her family. Any 2 second thought and she would have realized the guy she is trying to date would be either strung up on a noose, picking cotton or sold as property at this party.

Did you bother getting to the part when it's time to stop celebrating being on the losing sides of wars and why that is a good idea?

I thought they didn't display the flags or take immense pride in their "heritage" until the Civil Rights era.

Is it really pretending that the south won, or just dressing up and pretending to be in the "Glamorous" south? I don't know shit about these parties, but I think there is a difference in dressing up like it is 1850 and glorifying slavery.

I have.

Believe me there are tons of people down there who wanna bring back segregation. TONS.
When the lockdown is over you should go down to Alabama and visit some tourist attractions. Stay at a hotel. Walk around, talk to people.
You'd be amazed how backwards they are.

Such an action is potentially immoral.

Visiting a state like Alabama can easily turn into supporting an economic class built on hatred, racism, and violence. A person has to be exceptionally careful where they spend their money. The assumption has to be made that a business is evil unless evidence is available to show otherwise.

The racist elected officials, laws, and government reflect the will of the majority of the people that live there, and thereby the majority of the businesses. When the odds of a business being evil exceeds 50%, all businesses have assume to be evil until shown otherwise.

Ever seen those clips from the CPAC conventions? There were always people standing up and justifying slavery as if it were good for "the blacks"

I see it every day in Mississippi. Return to slavery, no, but racism is alive and well in the south.

It was segregation that got the religious right involved in politics in the late 60's/early 70's. They want you to think it was abortion, but that didn't become the litmus test for them until the late 1970's. When they had to go to school with all those negroes is when politics became important to the evangelicals.
 
I've actually come to notice something. By forcing them to give up the Confederate flag, the racists are not changing their beliefs, but rather they're looking to enshrine the American flag as symbolically racist just the same way as they had done with the Confederate one, potentially making it more difficult to spot them. Not that its exactly new, and plenty of it they still are going out of their way to make sure you can tell (blue line flag for instance, or American flag Punisher skull, etc). Oh and you can also tell because they're in the same vehicles (jacked up trucks) just with 2-3 American flags instead of a Confederate one (because for sure you're more American if you drive around with 3 of them than one).

It blows my mind that their argument these days is that blacks were better off as slaves, but then they act like they have no part in that if its true. Its, as usual, revealing. Their hatred for blacks is likely higher than it was than during slavery. Because back then, to them, it was openly accepted that blacks were lesser/subhuman if not outright non-human, but now they have to go out of their way to demonize them but you know, not as openly and if they murder black people they have to be cops or claim it was self defense, etc. Now black people can call them out for being racist and it have consequences for them, and they have to watch rich black people, hell they were even subjugated to a black President!

You forgot the snake flag. I personally view the snake flag as even more of a sign of a racist than the Confederate Flag. There are some fools that actually just like the bars and strips or embrace it as being a "rebal." The "don't tread on me" people are just announcing to everyone that they are assholes.

Also the new one around here are the "stand up for America" signs, huge dog whistle racism.

You mean the flag that was designed in 1775. And has nothing to do with racism.
