Challenges for My Readers

(1) Find on this blog or elsewhere any "blindingly racist statements" made by me about the Pakistani birthplace of Mayor Huja of Charlottesville, Va.

(2) Find on this blog or elsewhere any statements made by me that indicate my view of the Civil War is based more on “Gone with the Wind” than anything factual.

Put your findings in a comment following this post. Thanks!

    Simpson and his followers are a sick lot, just like schoolyard bullies they like to gang up on someone just to make them fell superior and that their life has value.But thats ok one day life is going to reach out and bit them right in their rear end.
    For them to call you racist is like the pot calling the kettle black as has been pointed out on this blog they need to only look in the mirror to find a racist.

    1. Jesse, I agree they are ambivalent about their own morality, so they have to bolster it by putting down others so far that they can feel they look good by comparison. We see clues on the internet about their oh, so white lives... Perhaps that's what they feel guilt about, but, you know, they don't want to change, to racially "mingle" -- so they buy into the notion that if you talk the talk (i.e., accuse others) you don't have to walk the walk.

      I happen to believe they are wrong about many aspects of history re: the war, the South, Southerners, but even if they were right, the yankees/union were no better. As I've noted, they had their own sins and didn't have the moral authority to march south to kill Southerners. That's something flogger-types barely acknowledge, or refuse to acknowledge altogether, or make excuses for ... which renders their criticism of Confederates, and us heritage folks, without moral authority. Also, that they exhibit the mean-spiritedness that so characterizes leftism also drains them of moral authority.

  2. There's lots in my blog, Corey. You have to link to specific statements made by me that indicate my view of the Civil War is based more on “Gone with the Wind” than fact. Can't you read, teacher?

    2. Many outsiders seem to think we have some kind of romantic view of the South. We don't. We have a sentimental attachment that comes from having been born and raised here, and from the people and places, the sights, the sounds and fond memories that have become a part of us as individuals. I can remember a time before the Northern Transplant invasion, when the new neighbours, and my new friends, two brothers, came from Arkansas. Their father had taken a job a Texas Instruments. There were several families like that in town. It didn't matter that they came over from Arkansas, Tennessee or Georgia. Despite some differences, we had a shared culture and common ground, unlike the unfriendly strangers that would arrive later. These experiences and sentiments aren't the products of fanciful novels. But Yankees always project their thoughts and feelings onto others, and make assumptions based on this projection. As an aside, I never read GWTW. I always thought of it as a romance novel for ladies. It was always popular among the girls in school and among our mothers and sisters. The Magnolia tree was where we got seed pods to use as hand grenades when we played soldier. We took it for granted. Moonlight was an occasion to get out the telescope. That was my view of "Moonlight and Magnolias."
