re: How do you feel about Mississippi's "Confederate Heritage Month"?

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.

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...
