Conservative Southern Values Revived: How a Brutal Strain of American Aristocrats Have Come to Rule

[DonCoquixote]

82. I hate Southern GOP assh*les as much as anyone

But it is always tempting to demonize all.

There is a lot of truth in this article, especially about the way Northern Aristocrats did their damage, but realized even they had a leash. But this article does not talk about the poor southerner.

The South was settled by Scotch, Irish and other celts. It is no accident the stars and bars is a St. Andrews cross. Now, the reason why this is important is because the Celts were mistreated badly by the English, who used the pretense of "good government" to screw the Celts every which way, from trying to supress their religion, to using their religion as an excuse to take their land, to putting factories on that taken land.

The Celts knew they had no government to really represent them. Let's face it, they still do not, save for that part of Ireland that got liberated after World War one. That is why many of Celtic descent still, do this day, see government as an evil. The tragedy is, like most people that were abused, they grew up and sought to become ABUSERS. After all, take a look at how they treated Africans:

Celts: had a different language that was suppressed by the English.
Africans: The Celtic Americans chose to suppress African culture and language and religion. No this is NOT ancient history, as any Black person who gets "complemented" for "Good English" can tell you.
Both: It is also why Southern Whites get VERY defensive of their accent, as the twang has been found to be a relative of a Scottish accent.

Celts: Churches tended to be the true cultural centers and welfare centers that the government would not be.
Africans: Churches tended to be the true cultural centers and wlefare centers that the government would not be.
Both: Southerners of Celtic and African descent still see Churches as a part of thier community. It is why Churches are still segregated in practice, and why both Southern Blacks and Whites would gladly fight and die for their churches, and why Clergymen on both sides are still so powerful in the South.

The point is that we cannot just focus on the plantation owners. If you want to South to see things your way, you have to try to understand their history. That does NOT mean kiss the ass of those creeps who DO think of themselves as the new planation owners. Yankees and Southerners both have an elite that thinks they were entitled by God to oppress the lesser, though admittedly the Southern variety knows how to rile up the masses better.
