Exactly my point ... the Confederacy should be divorced from the South, and that is a worthwhile goal to undertake. The South is frickin' awesome; to say I do "not like the culture and people of the American south" is not true. Food, music, Southern hospitality, some beautiful geography, many wonderful traditions ... all of it is possible - and much better - without celebrating its darkest hour.
There's also a huge problem with people celebrating a "Southern heritage" that just happens to be whites-only...
