But, recall we're celebrating transgenderism and abortion, 24/7 in Hollywood and other places. I assume that doesn't embarrass you? Maybe I'm misreading you.
I don't know if you're misreading me or not.
Comparing Transgenderism to the Confederacy would about as false as a false equivalency can be, and it doesn't embarrass me. The transgender movement doesn't have the baggage that the Confederacy does.
Also, and this should go without saying, but I think you'll find more people celebrating abortion rights than you will celebrating the actual procedure.

You think the average Mississippian fought to own a slave? The average Mississippian fought to defend the land he grew up on and lived. My state was burned to the ground and utterly destroyed by the Union army, when 90% of the soldiers who fought had zero slaves.
The self-loathing from you and other white liberals is absolutely disturbing. Africans and Muslims sold blacks into slavery, but we don't have entire university departments devoted to demonizing these two groups do we?

Ah, but there's the rub. Virtually every modern celebration of the Confederacy is limited to the military spirit, elan, "Muh heritage", etc. The number of folks celebrating slavery or the social/economic retardation the Confederacy suffered because of the overreliance on cotton and the slave labor to produce it is statistically zero.
The number of folks out there publicly celebrating their abortions is definitely not statistically zero.
If you want to be embarrassed about something with which you don't agree and don't participate in, I ask you to consider if such misguided emotional responses aren't responsible for a lot of unearned white guilt.
Just a thought...

You need to go back to work. Starting threads is not your strong suit
