The South Shall Rise Again

[Joanne98]

One hundred and forty-five years later my southern kin are still fighting the War Between the States. Give it up, loves. We lost. Just like you, not me, lost the presidential election in 2008. An African-American is our president. Get over it.


And just like my other southern-born-and-raised kissin'-cuzzins, we've known since day one that all this shoutin' and hollerin' on the extreme right is nothing but pure naked racism disguised as anger over taxes and
galloping socialism. We've known better when social scientists and political pundets denied the existence of racism in the Tea Party movement.


We've known better when Tea Bagger activists claimed they weren't racist. We've seen it too often. "I'm not racist," they protest looking you straight in the eye. And in the next breath, "Ain't that monkey ever gonna get me ma drink?"


Not to be outdone, elected representatives of all the people are getting into the act. Chafing at the bit since 1964, or 1865, they're gonna win that damn war once and for all.
