Hurray for Confederate Heritage & History Month

It is a shame for the beautiful state of Georgia to be marred by the class of people who support this holiday.

Umm yes SB 27 did pass through the Georgia General Assembly this year making April the offical Confederate History Month of the State of Georgia...It also declared the Ralph McGill Civil Rights Museum in Savannah the official historical civil rights museum of the State of Georgia...

I love this state.

I think they want it covered in a way that makes the Confederacy out to be the winners. That aside, we already have a Georgia History Month; this can't be covered there? A quote from the R&B board that I like:

"The Confederacy is defined by its flaws, because without its flaws it would not have existed."

It's like when people whine about wanting a white history month every February. "Well when is White History Month?" Um, it's called every other month in the year. I seriously doubt anyone in this state made it through a State History or an American History class without the Confederacy coming up. What do they want, for schools to cover the same material twice?

But it's not about racism, man. It's about our heritage, which only coincidentally was built and maintained on an oppressive, racist system. Oh! And states rights! Like a state's right to legalize drugs or gay marr- well, ok, so maybe states rights isn't it...
