Southern pride

[Synthaholic]

What is it. Some people claim that they fly the con flag to express southern heritage and/or southern pride.

Southerners have a great deal to be proud of, such as their contribution to the founding of our Republic, contributions to our military tradition, contributions to our political system, in addition to art, literature, and the theater – indeed, most of our greatest writers, authors, and playwrights are from the South; prior to the Civil War Southern culture was America’s dominant culture.

Today the majority of Southerners have the intelligence and sophistication to acknowledge the wrongs and evils of the past, and have made the commitment to eradicate the remnants of those wrongs and evils from today’s society.

Unfortunately there are a minority of reactionary Southerners who lack the courage to admit to the wrongs and evils of the past and seek to propagate the lies of revisionist history they’ve contrived as a consequence of their fear and cowardice.

I knew someone would eventually get it. I'm not surprised it was a Liberal (Although you left out food & hospitality).

i am starting to understand what swagger means by negro fatigue

Negroes aren't part of the South? That is what prompted this question. We never see con flag Wavers counting MLK as someone to be proud of.

Not part of the south, really?

Nobody likes to be called an Uncle Tom, but nobody denies that they exist.

Oh please the left hates conservatives. That's fine I hate them right the hell back x10, after we have destroyed the left then maybe we can discuss reconciliation.

It's the left who has been destroying the right and they've been succeeding for a rather long time.

The Right has been destroying themselves. The Left just highlight it.

The real tragedy is bigoted morons like you still exist.

Sorry to break it to you....

Meh, I'm in LA, if you were out here some street vendor would grab you and make you into Tacos al Raton...

Making you useful for the first time in your life....

I was born in LA
(Lower Alabama - Pensacola, FL)

Do you remember Francos? Great rock bar.

I've never heard of anyone retiring and moving up north.

I plan to do exactly that - leave the Peoples Republic and move to Idaho, when I retire.

That doesn't surprise me. Idaho is chock full of creepy racists.

Idaho is Stormfront Central.

I thought you meant the state LA. And no, Los Angeles is not the birth place of Mexican cuisine.

Really, name a Mexican dish?

Enchiladas? Ernies - El Monte, CA
Burritos? The Green Burro - La Puente, CA
Chili Rellino? El Encanto - Azusa, CA

Prior to California Cuisine, Mexican was a tortilla with beans - called a taco.

Oh, one thing that DID originate in Mexico, was the Caesar Salad... Cardini's in Tijuana.

Wrong.

Enchiladas originated in Mexico, where the practice of rolling tortillas around other food dates back at least to Maya times.[5]The people living in the lake region of the Valley of Mexico traditionally ate corn tortillas folded or rolled around small fish. Writing at the time of the Spanish conquistadors, Bernal Díaz del Castillo documented a feast enjoyed by Europeans hosted by Hernán Cortés in Coyoacán, which included foods served in corn tortillas. (Note that the native Nahuatl name for the flat corn bread used was tlaxcalli; the Spanish give it the name tortilla.)[6][7][8][9] The Nahuatl word for enchilada is chīllapītzalli /t͡ʃiːlːapiːˈt͡salːi/ which is formed of the Nahuatl word for "chili", chīlli /ˈt͡ʃiːlːi/ and the Nahuatl word for "flute", tlapītzalli /t͡ɬapiːˈt͡salːi/.[10] In the 19th century, as Mexican cuisine was being memorialized, enchiladas were mentioned in the first Mexican cookbook, El cocinero mexicano ("The Mexican Chef"), published in 1831,[5] and in Mariano Galvan Rivera's Diccionario de Cocina, published in 1845.[6][11] An early mention, in English, is a 1914 recipe found in California Mexican-Spanish Cookbook, by Bertha Haffner Ginger.[12]

You make the mistake of thinking that common gringo food is the total of Mexican cuisine.

In your opinion, perhaps, but you thin that way, Kevin, because you are a libertarian, perhaps.

ps: By the by, Foxfyre would say calling you a libertarian and that you make decisions that way is an ad hom attack.

I don't think it's an attack to say that. Since I'm an individualist, which is certainly an aspect of libertarianism, it's easy to see why I would say that the meaning of symbols can only be derived on an individual basis and are completely subjective. If, however, you try to say that a symbol, in this case the Confederate flag, has one single black and white objective meaning, then you must apply that same logic to other symbols as well. And if the Confederate flag must mean racism, then the U.S. flag is not going to fare well either. At least if you're being consistent.

 

[Kevin_Kennedy]

Why is it you never hear anyone bragging about their "Northern Heritage"?

Because Northerners do not feel the need to cocoon themselves in bullshit platitudes to feel good about themselves.

Maybe because we won.

"We" weren't alive, so "we" did nothing. But it's laughable to say that "neo-Unionists," if I may coin a dumb term, don't cocoon themselves in bullshit platitudes. Father Abraham? The Great Emancipator? How many abuses of power by Lincoln and war crimes by his generals are simply rationalized away if they're addressed at all?

 

[Kevin_Kennedy]

The funny part is the uproar over a flag, which essentially receives no state or federal subsidies, but how the same people whining about the flag will completely ignore all the federal and state tax dollars going to monuments that glorify slaveholders. The Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial, Mount Rushmore, and the list goes on. Washington, D.C. itself was named after a slave-owner. The White House was built by slaves. Where's the uproar?

As usual, the Libertarian cares only about money.

As usual, the hack misses the point.

{The cheese, pork, beef, and lettuce that grace so many of our favorite Mexican dishes, including the quesadilla, are Spanish. The hot sauce that is made from chili pepper, though, is indigenous to Mexico. However, it is a little known Mexican food history fact that many of the spices thought to be Mexican are actually Spanish in origin. Black pepper, cinnamon, coriander and oregano are several spices that are often used in Mexican cooking but are not native to the country.

The French are yet another chapter in Mexican food history. Under a brief French occupation in the 1860's, Mexico was introduced to other new foods and cooking methods. This resulted in popular dishes like stuffed chilies in a walnut sauce, known as chiles en nogado. These dishes, French inspired with a strong Mexican flair, have made their way through the various cultures to meld together and create dishes that the world can enjoy.

Perhaps one of the best known influences on Mexican food comes from the Southwest United States, Texas to be exact, called "Tex-Mex." This part of Mexican food history has had a huge impact on not only how Mexican food is prepared and served in the United States, but also how it is perceived. Tex-Mex is a delightful cultural combination of northern Mexico and Southwestern Texas. In fact, it is actually Tex-Mex that is served in many Mexican restaurants today as opposed to authentic Mexican food.

Mexican food history has enjoyed many different cultural influences, making it varied and rich. This variety of cultural adaptations makes Mexico a veritable melting pot of culinary experiences. This has worked in its favor, though, with delicious dishes and are popular and fun - to eat and to create.}

Mexican Food History A Melding of Cultures

Mexico, like the USA is a land of immigrants. European food dominated the upper classes until the 20th century. The Mexican food that is common today indeed comes from the Southwest USA. The reason is that these places could elevate the peasant foods with better ingredients. Also note that the iconic restaurants I listed all have Spanish names, these were run by people with Mexican heritage who used the wealth of America to create the culinary dishes we call "Mexican."

Weren't you rationalizing Republicans' abuse of power when they voted not to pay our debts by raising the debt ceiling?

That's different...somehow.

Only in your bigoted mind.

 

[Clementine]

Yeah, southern heritage and pride...

So, you put up some ugly artwork by some leftist and pretend that it somehow reflects on today's people who consider the flag a sign of pride?

 

[Clementine]

Are you denying that Uncle Toms exist?

Are you one of those who think that minorities need to wear hoodies and not speak well or make something of their lives? I guess being articulate and proper are white things, huh?

You libs really have a problem with blacks who don't know their place, don't you? A person can be whatever they want and if they choose to live outside the little box you libs put them in, you call them names.

Yes, defaulting on the debt, which will inevitably happen regardless, so the sooner the better, and imprisoning hundreds of northern newspaper editors for what they publish, engaging in total war against the southern population, and issuing an arrest warrant for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court for issuing an opinion Lincoln didn't like are definitely different. The fact that you can't see how those issues are completely different is interesting though.
