Unbridled Bigotry Toward Things Southern

[daveman]

this threads reminds us all of the racist/anti-semites/homophobes in this forum who yell and moan about "bigotry" against their views.

Oh, you mean all the progressives who claim that opposition to Obama is due to his race, not his policies.

Those Yankees just don't appreciate Southern culture

 

[Sunshine]

I have noticed a vociferous few on this board who display vitriolic bigotry toward anything Southern. The reasons for their disgusting behavior are unknown, but I suspect an unwarranted sense of self-importance or jealousy because the South has originated almost all of this nation's music and most of its literature of merit.

Thomas J. DiLorenzo, a professor of economics at Loyola College in Maryland, has written a thoughtful article exploring some other reasons for onerous displays of bigotry toward the South and Southerners.

Here is a portion of it:

"A CNN travel editor named Chuck Thompson has established himself as a one-man hate group in writing a short book entitled Better Off Without ‘Em: A Northern Manifesto for Southern Secession.” He advertised his book in an October 20 article in Salon entitled “Just Secede Already.” Oh, if only we could.

Hatred of and bigotry toward Southerners is of course nothing new. The New England “Yankees” of the early nineteenth century thought of themselves as God’s chosen people and deplored the immigration into the country of lesser humans from parts of Europe other than their own little section of the British Isles – especially the loathsome Catholic immigrants from Germany, Ireland, and Italy (See Albion’s Seed by David Hackett Fisher).

The early nineteenth-century New England descendants of the Puritans so hated Jefferson’s Louisiana Purchase, and its prospects for accommodating masses of God’s un-chosen people, that they spent a decade plotting secession. This plot culminated in the 1814 Hartford Secession Convention at which the New England Federalists issued severe criticisms of government, but decided that their political and economic fortunes would be best served by undermining the government of the founders from within rather than seceding. Their political descendants (The Whig and Republican parties of that century) succeeded beyond their wildest dreams in creating a centralized, bureaucratic empire that would rival the British and Spanish empires."

What say you, bigots? Why the unwarranted attacks on the South?

They always make fun of our accents. Well, we think they sound funny too, but WE have enough manners to not mention it.

They ARE bigots but more they have to have someone to be better than. Their inferiors can't be a race, a religion other than Christianity, or someone with gender identity problems. So, they have to despise those of a geographical location even though it contains plenty of those they pander to.

When I was stationed in the South, the difference in culture was readily apparent. Rednecks are still sore over the Civil War and blacks being treated equally. They really, really are.

I once deadheaded with a cab driver, and he spent the whole night drunk off his ass, singing Civil War era songs, going on and on about "Massa Lee", and taking me to every Confederate graveyard in the city.

I also married into a Deep Southern family. Imagine my surprise to discover some of my in-laws had Klan outfits in their closets in this day and age. My mother-in-law had never allowed a "colored" to set foot in her house, and never will.

I received a total immersion in the Deep South culture and came away with the impression they are about a hundred years behind the rest of us. Grandad was a moonshiner and raised fighting cocks. He thought I was a pussy because I drank straight Jack Daniel's. Grandma was never seen wearing shoes and she actually believed the Earth is flat! Her cure-all medicine for every wound her 10 children received was to pour kerosene on it.

After I had been stationed there for three years, some of the civilian workers on the base I had befriended were shocked to discover I did not share their racist views. They thought I was one of them. I was also shocked to discover their true natures.

Racism is still alive in America, not just the Deep South, but is certainly deeper and more vicious down there.

No one is fooled by these pretensions on the part of Southerners as to why their culture is still perceived as racist. Well, here's a clue: THAT'S BECAUSE IT IS!!!

My Southern wife and I divorced once I realized she was bathshit crazy. Crazier than me, which is really saying something. That is entirely unrelated to the Southern culture, but as a result of my marriage to Satan's daughter, I don't care how drop dead gorgeous a woman is, if she has a Southern accent, my stomach turns.

She could be a perfectly nice woman for all I know. It's just a Pavlovian response. My ex-wife's craziness and the Southern racist culture all mixed together.

Southerners never understood what they hold most dearly, the Holy Bible.

Why the anti-south bigotry (odd they frame the question in that particular term)?

You reap what you sow.

I can't tell you how many times one of my Southern in-laws used the bible to justify slavery.

I bet you right now as they are reading this post, there are people who know exactly which verses were used.

And yet the Social Conservatives ("values" voters), many of whom live in the south want to use the Bible as a geology textbook, a biology textbook, a sociology text book and a law book. While the Bible has inspiration, beautiful poetry, sex, violence, more sex, more violence and words of faith and wisdom, it makes for a lousy textbook.

What say you, bigots? Why the unwarranted attacks on the South?

I admit an intolerance of some things Southern. To much salt, to much sugar and too much neo-Confederate, anti-American, rhetoric. On the other hand, having traveled extensively in our country, some of my favorite cities are in the south. Fortunately, not every Southerner is the same as the typical loud-mouthed moron from Texas.

My first meeting with Southern Boys was at NTCSD Boot Camp in 1967. I'd never encountered such a group of dumb, loud, arrogant and bigoted Mama's Boys in my like. There's no crying in baseball, but in Boot Camp when the lights went out homesickness was epidemic among the Texans and Arkansans - it was sadly funny.

Actually, the Bible does tell slaves to submit to their masters:

King James Bible
Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:

Colossians 3:22

While the KJV calls them 'servants,' other versions call them slaves.

Colossians 3:22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.

I have a feeling you came here and acted like an asshole. So, of course, no one even pretended to tolerate you.

You can ignore anything you want to ignore. I really couldn't care less. Clearly you have no idea why the OT is part of the Bible. The Christian religion is founded on the teachings of Christ. The OT is included by Christian churches as a historical reference of the things that led up to the birth of Christ, and also for the prophecy that there would be a Messiah. http://christianity.about.com/od/biblefactsandlists/a/Prophecies-Jesus.htm I don't think it was referring to Obama. You are one of those stupid people, no doubt, who thinks there were Christians in the OT. LOL.

How on earth could you make such an assumption based on one question? I simply want to know if, as you say, the Old Testament was written for the Jews, could we then afford to ignore it as the word of God?

I understand why and how the books of the Old Testament were included in the Bible. What I fail to understand is if indeed your point of it being written for the Jews, should it be relevant in a society like contemporary America.
