The South Is Not “Rising Again”

And please, please stop saying it will.

I’m from the south, and I get that most people who say that “the South will rise again!” are really just trying to display pride in their part of the U.S., but there are some who truly think it will happen.

Do they not realize that saying that specifically refers back to the South losing the Civil War? The war that the southern part of the U.S. fought and sent young white men to die, to be allowed the right to continue to OWN OTHER HUMAN BEINGS?
