Otherwise? It's a redneck state full of ignorant, dumbass crackers. They stink.
So does most of the South.
They still wish Niggers were slaves. That's the fact. They are the stupidest white swine on the planet. The proof of it is flying right now all over South Carolina.
That's right, the CONFEDERATE flag, which stands for "Niggers should be SLAVES." And "White Supremacy." And "Dumbass Crackers Rule, And we're drunk every night because we lost the war."
"Politically, a cancer." That's how Lenny Bruce described the South, and it hasn't changed since his death. He pulled scams down in Florida. Hey, if it's December or January, Florida is a nice place to be. It's even picturesque.
"Find yourself another country to be part of," is what Phil Ochs would say to South Carolina.
It's one thing to be colorful hillbillies. For a while, even during those Civil Rights days, the top TV shows ALL of America watched were fucking rural sitcoms: "Real McCoys," "Gomer Pyle," "Petticoat Junction," and of course, "The Beverly Hillbillies." Roger Miller was a crossover artist at that time. Johnny Cash had his own show. Tennessee Ernie Ford had been a big star, and a drawl was almost mandatory for sportscasters, even "The Voice of the Yankees," Mel Allen (who was a Jew).
The nation was nuts about cowboys for a long time. The whole image of the fucking Southern outlaw continues to entertain people. Willie Nelson is NOT such a fucking great singer, but even Northerners love the guy, and other similar entertainers.
But if anything good comes of the massacre, it's removing that fucking flag.
Reagan said "Take down that wall." Now it's time for Obama to say "Take down that flag." The Berlin Wall is history, and so should the practice of flying the fucking Confederate flag on public property.
It's no symbol of "proud Southern heritage." It's a revolutionary emblem. It says the same thing in the 1860's as it says now: "White Supremacy." Why the fuck did the South secede from the Union and start the Civil War? Mainly, it wanted slavery. That was the issue. Niggers in chains. The Arrogant South created their own Confederate flag and currency and were ready to kill for their cause. And did.
When the North won the war, Abraham Lincoln told the marching band to play "Dixie." He wanted to heal the country's wounds. He felt there was much of Southern hospitality, music, and lifestyle to be admired. Robert E. Lee and many of his men were smart, passionate fighters, even if they couldn't see that slavery was wrong and stupid. Even now, a lot of people simply think blacks are inferior and won't be talked out of it.
Play "Dixie" all you want, but don't foster the atmosphere that creates redneck bastards like Dylann Roof, and that promotes the the three things the South is still noted most for: ignorance, bullying and racism.
When even Dubya's brother Jeb says the confederate flag has no business flying on government property, then it's a no brainer, even for those with no brains.
