A southerner who is a history prof who wrote about SC and the war. some might call him an expert. I call him friend.
He taught me about certain aspects of Southern White culture. (he remembers adults applauding the assassination of JFK) He was very kind but brutally honest about his beloved South.
I am not impressed. He really taught you about nothing but his own self loathing. Too bad you couldn't see that. One thing's for sure, you both want to be a real part of the south and neither of you will be because we won't let you in. That may actually be his REAL beef. Another thing's for sure, the civil war will never be over because idiots like you are still fighting it. That's why you will never get in. You are just like blacks who, when invited to a white home start making snide remarks about how they are 'part of the club now.' Or saying, 'it sure is white in here.' As long as you have your attitude neither you, nor they will be part of the club. I have black friends and they don't act that way. I have had what I
thought were black friends until they started acting that way. They didn't stay on the guest list long. Bounders like you put your knees under our table and insult us the whole time you eat. Read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Read about the early party for you and the late party for US. LOL. You are nothing but a blue collar chump. Why you chose Dante for a name beats the hell out of me. I read The Inferno in 7th grade. I'm sure you still can't get through it.
And now, I have a lovely breeze off my lovely southern lake with lovely windchimes to listen to. Unlike listening to you which is akin to listening to a jackass braying.
