Having attended and then graduated from Duke University as an undergraduate, and later Emory University School of Law, both located in the “Deep South” — in North Carolina and Georgia, respectively — as well as being a citizen of and running for the U.S. Senate in Florida, I find offensive Southerners being smeared by the left and effectively being branded as the equivalent of the Ku Klux Klan. This indeed is what it has come to, as cowardly whites flee en masse and fall on their swords at the slightest hint of being called racists, begging for forgiveness to the likes of Black Lives Matter and the group’s vile comrades.
Just in the last few weeks, the country music group Dixie Chicks has slavishly jettisoned the “Dixie” from its name, and that once venerable entertainment icon Disney has removed the “Song of the South” from its Splash Mountain attraction at Disney World and Disneyland. These are just a few among many examples. Soon to come is the removal of statutes of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, as has already taken place with Southern icons such as Gen. Robert E. Lee and former confederate President Jefferson Davis, who had a highway named after him in Northern Virginia, among other landmarks.
