Give me a break. <br /><br />You rip my attacks to shreds about as much as a snowball's chance in hell. <br /><br /><i>What is my "breed," Rob? The term marks you as a racist, unless you're giving it one of your cockamamie, off-the-wall, out-of-the-blue definitions nobody can find at dictionary.com.</i><br /><br />Breed (noun) <br />1. A group of organisms having common ancestors and certain distinguishable characteristics, especially a group within a species developed by artificial selection and maintained by controlled propagation.<br />2. A kind; a sort: a new breed of politician; a new breed of computer.<br />3. Offensive A person of mixed racial descent; a half-breed.<br /><br />http://www.thefreedictionary.com/breed<br /><br />The term doesn't imply a racist. Unless of course that is your "off the wall definition." I am certain it stands on its own accord. I liked the deflection though Connie.

The answer is not going to be pretty. <br /><br />No one is attacking your culture but yourself. You are promoting a stereotypical version of the South. That's the problem.

Frankly, I have better things to ...Ms. Chastain,<br /> <br />Frankly, I have better things to do than to participate in the “I’m more Southern Racist than thou” Olympics. In a moment of boredom and mixed up in conversation I decided to express my thoughts, and while I knew they wouldn’t make a dent in the incredibly personal and silly discourse I hit “post” anyways. Don’t worry, it probably won’t happen again. <br /><br />I understand what your blog is for, Ms. Chastain. It’s for the promotion of a preposterous ideology. It’s not, however, for defending something that in fact isn’t under attack – your Southern-ness? By all means, we live in America so be a racist and a classist, but don’t be surprised when a majority of reasonable people disagree with you. <br /><br />I also understand the difference between disagreement and attacks. However, I’m not sure you do. Someone pointing out giant gaps in the logic or “historical” facts described on blogs like yours doesn’t mean they are attacking you personally. Those people are calling you and others out on the BS that runs freely through these “Heritage” blogs. <br /><br />I grew up in the region and culture you speak of and idolize, and I know its history and its people well. By the sound of your blog and your opinions though, you lived in a radically different time and place – or would like to anyways. Good luck with that. <br /><br />I don’t much care if you read my lengthier comment. My guess is you’ll disagree, attack, and “satirize (another word you don’t seem to understand).” It’s ok to be embarrassed, and it’s ok to admit you’re wrong – but I’m not holding my breath. The world will continue to turn, and eventually your advocacy will more obsolete (as it should be) and your mish-mash will be forgotten. <br /><br />Me, I’ll move on with my life and worry about more pressing, not to mention real, matters. Have a nice day as well and thank you for allowing me to comment. <br /><br />P.S. - You misunderstand my conversations with Rob. Our friendship is mostly based on disagreements lol. So reinforcements, nah. When we agree – something is very very obvious.Isabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433636589497885279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211529354680229185.post-57307490669507709552012-04-20T08:26:17.119-07:002012-04-20T08:26:17.119-07:00Excuse me, not my feed.

That's mostly what "other people's posts" are -- attacks.<br /><br />BTW, I consider defending against these attacks on my region and its people, heritage and culture to be quite substantive. Yes, I sometimes focus on silly things. It's called satire, which is a form of social commentary that dates back centuries before the birth of Christ.<br /><br />If you want me to read your lengthier comment, bring it over here. No rewriting necessary; this is the digital era. Just do a highlight-copy-paste. Although I must tell you, if it's the same kind of grammatically chaotic mish-mash Rob ususally posts, I'll either ignore it or rip it to shreds.<br /><br />Thank you for commenting.

I would like to say, that from the ...Ms. Chastain, <br />I would like to say, that from the outsider point of view, you sound obsessed. It’s clear that you’ve spend many many blog posts writing about other people’s posts than writing anything of substance. Has it ever occurred to you that you’re always on the defensive because you’re clearly wrong? I want to refer you to a much lengthier comment I left on Rob Baker’s site because I'm not going to re-write it. However, I did want to make the point that you’re clearly distracted by silly things rather than focused on making your point. For example, I’m a friend of Rob’s and I usually talk to him about the trivial things posted on the Southern Heritage blogs, like yours, and I worked for the Department of Justice until very recently. So, I was likely the person who’s IP address you referenced in the previous post – about the same kind of thing you’re still going on about here. I also often pass around things I find entertaining to others in the area – so don’t worry no one in Civil Rights was looking for hate crime propaganda or anything – I was just reading those things that were being referenced in conversations.Isabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433636589497885279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211529354680229185.post-18623528343233077742012-04-17T08:46:29.852-07:002012-04-17T08:46:29.852-07:00Brooks also stated that the "cw" did not...Brooks also stated that the "cw" did not actually represent the "civil war" but rather the use of URL names in order to achieve exclusivity. I, as well as Kevin Levi and Corey Meyer, have adjusted the banners on our blogs as well at one time or another. What is your point? How is that conclusive evidence to support your point? Is this the justification that Brooks is somehow attempting to bring down "Southern Heritage" on his own?<br /><br />Your argument of "petty" is lacking in justification.I don't knowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14366329984852561117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211529354680229185.post-82161599211397206102012-04-16T11:50:35.176-07:002012-04-16T11:50:35.176-07:00Rob, my point is that his blog used to put more em...Rob, my point is that his blog used to put more emphasis on the civil war; now it puts more emphasis on attacking Southern heritage, even though it still has "cw" in the URL.
