/confederate/ - Confederate

Since Southern English is becoming less Southern, and more Northern, I have been thinking of making some wordfilters for the board. These wordfilters would change certain words to their more traditional Southern spellings.

It will be based on this: http://dixienet.org/rights/verbalindependence.shtml

Some wordfilter examples:

won't → wont

color → colour

catalog → catalogue

check → cheque

Mr. → Mr

Thoughts?

How many people here aren't even Southern and are just Southaboos? Be honest. I get the impression from /pol/ that people fetishize and idealize the southern life.

Let's go the /bane/ route, every so often they have a thread where they rise the fire to gain a bit of traction.

Lee Circle no more: New Orleans to remove 4 Confederate statues

https://archive.is/cHAwy

>Lee Circle will lose the statue of its namesake after the New Orleans City Council voted 6-1 Thursday (Dec. 17) to remove four monuments related to the Confederacy from their prominent perches around the city.

>Besides Gen. Robert E. Lee, statues of Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard at the entrance of City Park and Confederate president Jefferson Davis in Mid-City and the obelisk dedicated to the Battle of Liberty Place at the foot of Iberville Street will all come down.

>The decision did not come lightly after months of public shouting matches, penned op-eds and rhetorical firefights on social media enveloped Landrieu's request in June that the statues be displayed in a museum, mothballed or discarded as vestiges of New Orleans' racist past.

>Councilwoman Stacy Head voted against the removal, saying she thought it would do nothing to break down the social and economic barriers New Orleanians struggle with.

>"I asked for a compromise multiple times," she said. "But that compromise was not given any chance."

>She put it forth again Thursday, proposing an amendment to keep the Lee and Beauregard statues while adding explanatory plaques to them. But the motion failed to get a second.

>In her remarks before the vote, Head asked Landrieu to explain his plans for other monuments, including Gen. Andrew Jackson in the French Quarter, should these four come down.

>Landrieu said he would like to see a commission put together to create a park that commemorates New Orleans' history. He said he decided to choose those four because he felt at this time they had the greatest significance.

Friendly reminder that New Mexico Territory is rightful Southern clay

I just realized that I don't know much about my Southern ancestry. Should I take one of those Ancestry DNA tests, or is there a much better way of finding out my ancestry? I can't really ask my parents cause my mom is German, and My Dad doesn't know who is related to him past his grandfather, and even then he doesn't know much about his grandfather.

Also share your Ancestry ITT.

New Castle County police are investigating the theft of a Confederate battle flag from outside a Glasgow home, where the words “[expletive] u racist” were found spray-painted on a boat at the property Wednesday. The case comes amid a turbulent national debate about the use of Confederate imagery and racial tension in the wake of the deadly South Carolina church shooting.

Homeowner Barry Binkley Jr said he flew the rebel flag at his Frazer Road property for more than 15 years and never heard any complaints. He said he isn’t racist and displayed the flag because it is a symbol that ties him to friends and family in the South, including cousins in North Carolina.

The banner was on a flagpole outside the ranch-style home and visible from the street in the semirural neighborhood.

His truck window also was found broken Wednesday.

How can we get more users for our board? Where can we find like minded people?

Earlier this year, after racist terrorist Dylann Storm Roof was charged with shooting nine black people in a Charleston, South Carolina, church, the media and Democrats across the nation embarked on a crusade to wipe the Confederate flag from society.

One of the crusaders, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, decided to get rid of license plates containing the Confederate flag altogether and informed those with such license plates that they had until October to hand the license plates over to the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Those found driving with the plates will be charged with a misdemeanor.

On Friday, local station WAVY reported that the vast majority of citizens with such license plates have refused to comply with the government’s flag-recall notice. The DMV stated that just 187 Virginians had returned their license plates out of 1,600 who had received a recall notice.

What do y'all think about the League of the South?

THE 14TH Amendment, ratified in 1868, states plainly that citizenship is automatically conferred on anyone born in the United States. Lately the state of Texas, blinded to the law by its antipathy to illegal immigrants, has determined that it is somehow exempt from that provision of the Constitution.

In an act of stunning official arrogance, the state has been refusing to issue birth certificates to increasing numbers of Texas-born children whose parents are undocumented immigrants. Without birth certificates, the children face barriers to being enrolled in day care and school, receiving Medicaid benefits — even being baptized.

The children, who so far number in the hundreds and possibly the thousands, are U.S. citizens. Yet by refusing to issue them birth certificates, on the pretext that their parents’ documents — including passports and photo IDs issued by Mexican consulates — do not meet the state’s standards, Texas is in effect making them stateless non-persons, devoid of rights and privileges.
