    Why on earth would he need to be forgiven? He was clearly doing his father’s work: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_Ham

    Grew up in the south, I just have 0 tolerance anymore, there is so much unabashed evil, we had black GIs come back from fighting to liberate concentration camps, only to be lynched at home.

    My personal experience is that redemption of the south is no more possible than redeeming the nazi party, at least not without very hard and direct work like we needed to do during reconstruction.

    In the meantime this corruption is spreading and destroying the rest of the country, the cancer is metastacizing and it’s too late to amputate the limb.

      First of all, I have no respect for fascists. Most of them are afraid to drive into a city. They clearly own guns for fear reasons. These men are Nihilists, Donnie, there’s nothing to worry about.

      But second of all, the south is not monolithic. Atlanta, New Orleans, Memphis, Birmingham, Houston, etc. are not the same as the state governments that have disenfranchised people for more than a century. Most people aren’t scum.

        Lived in half those cities, but the suburbs aren’t hot either.

        The minority who are scum make up for it with their energy.
