"The vice president of the Confederacy, Alexander Stephens of Georgia, was quite clear about the cause of the Civil War"

21. It's not ignorance; they know the South's history and still yearn for those "glorious" antebellum times.

They view being forced to issue public disavowals of "Southern traditions" as more "political correctness," done to placate the "woke mob." And everyone knows "anti-woke" is just code for anti-black.

Behind closed doors, and out of earshot of polite society, they still talk openly about keeping former slaves "in their place." If left to their own devices, the institution of slavery would still exist in the South; a century of oppressive Jim Crow laws created in response to emancipation is proof of that.

Every day they demonstrate the factual basis of Critical Race Theory. They have been suppressing blacks and denying black history since the end of the Civil War. Blacks are still under-represented and being brutalized in America 60 years after the civil rights act of 1964 supposedly brought the era of Jim Crow to an end.
