The Possible Virtues of a Salutary Distance

Most of the profound anger and apparent actual insanity afflicting the United States stem from racial antagonism: The Floyd riots, the tearing down of statues, affirmative action, the renaming of buildings, hostility to everything Confederate, racial attacks on whites by blacks, critical race theory, the fury over trials. Racial policy isn’t working and isn’t going to. America had better find another approach before, one day, they guns come out.

Sez I, a massive step toward racial reconciliation could be achieved simply by deregulating the schools. The races have very, very disparate cultures and want different things. In the integrated schools, either blacks must be forced to learn things of interest only to whites, or whites must be prevented from learning these things. It is hard to see why black students or their parents would have any interest in Jane Austin, Mark Twain, Shakespeare, or Beowulf. Nor is it clear why whites, of either generation, would care more than passingly about Africa. Why, unworkably, force each to do something both alien and of no interest to it?

 Why Do They Hate The South?

Speaking of "extinguishing the fire and heritage", Buncombe County North Carolina has recently had five old barns, one-hundred years old, burned to the ground. Two years ago in Haywood County the same thing. No one was ever caught. The 'investigators' don't know why but some how it has something to do with Southern heritage as some of the barns were old *tobacco barns.Very disturbing to me as I find these old barns beautiful and full of history and valuable. **Some of the barns had old artifacts from our Southern past - all burned.

Man Kyle Rittenhouse Shot Had Loaded Handgun, Witness Testifies: Lackowski also testified that he heard a protester shout "Get him!"

 Witness testifies man shot by Kyle Rittenhouse had a loaded

A witness at the murder trial of Kyle Rittenhouse testified Friday that one of the men Rittenhouse shot was holding a gun that was loaded and ready to be fired.

Jason Lackowski, the seventh witness called by the prosecution, said he helped Gaige Grosskreutz, who survived after Rittenhouse shot and injured him in his right arm during riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin last summer. Lackowski said he helped apply a tourniquet to Grosskreutz’s arm and emptied his handgun, and that was when he observed that the gun had a bullet in the chamber.

Eerie Video From Proctor & Gamble Employees Emerges

A video was sent to The DC Patriot from Proctor and Gamble employees asking consumers to reach out to their company and ask them to stop the mandates. They warned if this wasn't done, employees would not follow the mandates, and the supply chain would crumble.

Why Do They Hate The South?

 

The Confederate Cemetery which is beside the  Koonce plot.    

Dr. Paul Gottfried’s speech at the annual Confederate Flag Day commemoration in the historic 1840 North Carolina State Capitol House of Representatives chamber on March 3, 2007 is remarkably prescient and topical for us today.

Much history has passed in the last fourteen years, much of it very damaging and destructive of those Southern and Confederate traditions and inheritance we once cherished and considered normative and part of our lives as Southern folk. We have witnessed in recent years the virtual stripping away of our heritage handed down to us faithfully by our fathers and their fathers, the banning of our revered flags and symbols, the vicious destruction of our monuments, the expulsion of our literature and the rewriting of our history, and the attempt to extinguish our very memory, both publicly and privately in our schools and in the environment in which we live.
