Confederaphobes


Presented at the Lee-Jackson Banquet, Finley’s Brigade Camp 1614 – Tallahassee, Florida, 19 January 2019

Prologue

It seemed like just another day at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, for the vice chancellor of student affairs, Paula Knudson, until the phone calls, student visitors, and official “hate and bias” reports began to pour in.

A truck—a semi-tractor trailer truck to be exact—had somehow breached the invisible line that marked the school’s safe space and, without any apparent consideration for the students’ feelings, was right there on the construction site at the student centre with a Confederate flag grill cover.

Shock waves spread as iPhones, Androids, and other electronic devises lit-up across campus warning fellow students of the hateful display.

  1. Kudos to that guy holding the flag. Isn't it interesting that the bitc - woman is giving him both middle fingers. I'm sure she is a real sweetheart. I could _almost_ understand it if she was black, but she looks pretty white to me. Didn't look like she was interested in having a safe space to go to, either.

  2. Hi Brock,
    'A "Confederate Flag Grill Cover" eh???? As the late Frank Gallop would say in his throaty, baritone voice,"REALLY!!!!" ... So this "Trucker" who probably owns the rig gets a dispatch to haul a load of building supplies to this construction site... no problem... huh??

    Go to any Truck Stop in the U.S. and notice the number of Trucks with Confederate themed trim... Yup, "Southerners".. who are proud of their heritage!! It has been now a few years since I "Drove Truck" although it was a "Company Truck" I had a Confederate Battle Flag draped across the space behind the seats and my bunk space!! 'And not just me but Lots! of Truckers!!

    Had "I" been that Trucker the first thing I would have said had when approached with this "Problem?" is,"'Truck ain't movin' nowhere till every stick is unloaded and ya' sign my delivery bill!!"

    As for the poor offended "snowflakes" To them I'd express the retort of an "Old School Skydiver" (like me) to someone offended..."Go Soak Yer' Socks in Gasoline!!!!" the comment would baffle them and they would ask,"Why??" (Staggering Blow) "Ta' keep the ants from crawling up yer' legs and eating yer' 'Candy Ass!!!!'"

  3. Hi Brock,
    "PS" to my last post!!
    5 'll get ya' 10 the Trucker was drivin' "Flat Bed!!" By the time all the "Pussy hat Brigade complaints" made it to the construction site, the Trucker had the load "un-tarped and un-strapped and/or chained!!" That's it, for "Safety' the trailer ain't movin' till the load gets forklifted off!! They said in the piece that the Truck was moved... probably after it was off loaded!! I don't take long.. and the Driver has another load to pick up!! If those wheels ain't turnin' he ain't maken' any money!! It's a "Dog eat Dog" world out there... wait till those snowflakes get their ass handed to 'em when they hit the "ROAD!!"

    Skybill-out
