How Southerners Committed Cultural and Political Suicide

 

Many Southerners are familiar with James “Ron” Kennedy and his brother, Walter “Donnie” Kennedy, who are prolific writers and staunch defenders of (what is left of) Southern tradition and heritage. Among the titles of their books are, most notably: The South Was Right! (newly revised edition 2020),  Punished With Poverty: The Suffering South, and  Yankee Empire: Aggressive Abroad and Despotic at Home…all strongly recommended to those interested in how their heritage and traditions have been subverted and devastated by the forces that dominate modern America…and how just possibly a revival of that heritage and those traditions might occur.

But only—only—if Southerners begin to understand how we reached our present disastrous state of affairs.

The task of understanding has been and is incredibly difficult. And it has much to do with the present politics of the former Confederate states and the fact that good intentions and normal reactions to adverse conditions can lead to bad results.

    2. I was enlightened by reading The South Was Right.
      .
      A suggestion along those lines:
      * Underground History Of American Education by John Gatto.
      and
      * Supermob by Russo.
      .
      I think the George Carlin quote
      * I don't believe anything from the media or government
      fits nicely.

      Early-on, I knew a lot more than I know now...
