12. I carried this fairytale with me until I could no longer bear the weight of this Encyclopedia of Revisionist History. I had to put it down and walk away… Never to pick it up again. Some will learn to embrace The Truth of our Southern Heritage…some never will.

7. As if the fact that there were despicable people all over the world, not just in the South, somehow made us less despicable. These alternate realities are still being passed down to this day.

8. But at some point if you have a curious mind, if you socialize with people from different backgrounds and experiences, you are faced with the truth. The Truth… that the Antebellum South was not a Shangri-La…

4. Since you’re so disgusted by Socialism, I assume you’ll be returning those SS checks, pension checks and those farm subsidies. Medicare/Medicaid/Disability, I’m sure you can survive w/o that. Of course you won’t be needing those pesky Police/Fire Depts. I could go on. …

11. … and pass it on to future generations. The truth is a hard painful lesson to learn. I didn’t want to see it, I didn’t wanna believe that my ancestors were the villains in this story. So for a long time I kept the fairytale alive, I kept The Truth at bay.

5. I know this information was a shock to your fact-allergic system bit, as you can see, one cannot be both a Fascist and a Socialist. (Unless you’re Hitler) I hope you’ve learned something today. Homework is pointless so, class dismissed #ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue
