20. Apologies from South Carolina

As a white resident of the capital city in South Carolina, my deepest apologies to all my American brothers and sisters. A few of us occupied the former Confederate capitol grounds back during the First National Occupations of 2011. Some among us were quite expert in our state's brand of cronyism, but local news routinely omitted that aspect from their shallow coverage. You have reason to be quite proud of us down hyeah in the big city-- in the main squares and places, you see all races and kinds at ease together in joviality and deep friendships. On the streets, the most unnecessary courtesies are enthusiastically extended and shared among all citizens. This despite our typical back-alley problems and our pitiful gangs and stray rednecks. Up there on that hill though-- seems many there were not so moved as the rest of us by the stories passed down of that Last Salute of the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox.
