Comments for Reared Southern: A Condition of Heritage | Eastern North Carolina Now

Time to become Indigos like South Americans call themselves. Indigo is White, Black, Indian mix. I will write an article Gendless Indigo Nation.

End Black History Month. No flag no history.

How true Stan,

I think the teaching profession contributes more to the future of our society than any other single profession.

The Black are taught SLAVERY in great detail in all schools as if it were recent.
There is no mention of Neptune Small or Amanda Dickson.

What I'm trying to say is that this whole history of the confederacy thing is not taught in schools at all, just a very general overview. I don't agree in the Confederate ideas at all, and i think flying a confederate flag just makes people look unintelligent, but I do think it should be taught.

Relating historical facts to today is called "cause and effect". Forecasting the future is interesting. Like gambling on a horse race or the stock market.

Dave is 'my Man Friday', and that is how Young Maye knows him.

I don't know how Dave fits in here.

Actually not really. Ask Dave, I have a strange amount of facts about World War II, particularly the rise and fall of Hitler. For example, did you know that the last footage of Hitler was during the Fall of Berlin? The Hitler Youth was reorganized as a last resort defense against the Ally invasion. Hitler was awarding medals to some teenagers who were fighting to defend the falling Third Reich. I could go on and on with this.
But what I was trying to say is that its rarely acknowledged that this history exacted.
As Winston Churchill once said, "History is written by the victors."

Ted that is a good point actually. But I still know nothing on the subject

We seem to go in cycles of history. I have lived in NC / SC / GA all my life and consider myself a "citizen of the Southeast." In churches of county seat towns I found a natural class at funerals and weddings. Southerners just "know how to do it right and proper." We will talk behind your back rather than have big public confrontations.

I still get goosebumps when Dixie is played. Next comes the Georgia Tech Ramblin' Wreck song. When the President began to sing "Amazing Grace" yesterday it was both tears and faith which came to my mind.

I have no childhood memories of Liberty, SC, where I was born in the upstate foothills. My first memories are from Tryon, NC, where my father pastored their First Baptist Church. It is noted for grapes and wine!

We are Southern Brothers, Stan, so we know how to even agree to disagree and still honor our heritage. Perhaps that is our greatest kinship, my brother . . .
