A SOUTHERN POINT OF VIEW

A SOUTHERN POINT OF VIEW

   

I was born in the Southern state of Louisiana. Therefore, I was indoctrinated by the teachings of the Southern Christian Bible Belt. When I became an adult I abandoned most of those teachings. I do not support anything connected with the Southern Confederacy or the Confederate flag.

I do not support the Confederate flag because it represented a government that allowed white men to hang black men without any retribution from the law.

I do not support the Confederate flag because it represented a government that allowed white men to rape black women and receive no punishment from the law. 

I do not support the Confederate flag because it represented a government that allowed white men to castrate black men for no other reason than being mean.

I do not support the Confederate flag because it allowed rich plantation owners to buy black women and separate them from their children with no hope of ever seeing them again.    

I do not support the Confederate flag because it represented a government that allowed white lynch mobs to murder entire black families and burn their homes for no other reason than the color of their skin.

No sir, Mr. and Mrs. Confederate supporter, I do not support the evils of the Confederate government.  A white man after he raped a black lady could go to church sit in the Amen Corner and receive blessings from a Confederate preacher.  And many of you who hold on to the Christian title still support these actions. Shame on you!!!!!!!
