re: #373 Justanotherhuman

Here’s the full “apology”.

“It doesn’t help that the girl herself has issued a doozy of a sorry-not-sorry, stating, “I’m sorry that my picture offended people and especially since my initial caption (that I changed once I realized people took it seriously), but I’m currently on the Civil War trip learning about the history of our country and this just so happens to be a pretty (expletive) important part of it. We were reenacting Pickett’s charge in which the South lost 85% of their soldiers. These aren’t the Confederate flags in fact, they’re the North Carolina regimental flags. I’m proud to be a part of my state and I’m sorry my photo was so offensive but I find it appropriate in that I’m honoring heroes that fought to protect their home and families. Thanks though.” Again, maybe just stop after “I’m sorry.”

She should read more about what they were protecting. I’m sure there were plenty of Germans who thought they were protecting Germany from “Bolshevism” too. I rarely ever do that but I think it’s fair to compare the Nazis to the CSA.
