re: #480 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

Yeah, though I hold out hope that, like a lot of the other BS, the whole neo-Confederate movement will die out with the older generations. Most of the kids growing up will slap the Stars and Bars on their truck or talk about “Southern Pride,” but not many really talk the apologist line. That’s mostly for the Boomers and farther back, the ones who got fed a heaping helping of it growing up.

Yeah, I hope so too. My parents aren’t big on the Neo-Confederate thing but they were the first in their families to be born in Virginia and the south as a whole so they didn’t grow up hearing about those damn Yankees. And furthermore, my dad’s dad especially was very progressive minded on Civil Rights.
