I'm sorry that you had bad experiences.

I've lived in the South for many years now, and the food is delicious, and the people (for the most part) are gracious.

How insulting. I happen to be from Illinois and I moved to Florida. I joke about the sweet tea and the monster trucks down here but I would NEVER be so insulting!!!! Quite frankly, I've never had better BBQ in my life since I've moved south. May be if you wern't so rude you'd have gotten some southern hospitality. May be Minnesota has made you a cold and fridged person.

I've always visited the South most of my childhood life. I miss it, but then I moved to Texas, it helped me reminisce a bit and I got to eat the best Southern cooking, BBQ, Mexican food, and most importantly, drink a lot of iced teas!

Now, as much as one may be a rude Minnesotan but does not mean every Minnesotan should be rude and egocentric, especially about their state. They tend to be nice bunch of people, but that happens sometimes when it come to some issues.

For a moment, I thought of something as Confederate was only for last 4 years and it yet become Heritage? Civil War History is more like.

Well, being the gracious southern farm girl that I am, I really can't
respond as I would like to. All I will say is it sounds like, from your
description that you must have been standing in an Army Mess
Hall Chow line some wheres in the deep South got fed what they
labeled as Southern cooking. Restaurant cooking in the south
ain't the same as good ole home deep fried chicken with biscuts and
gravey, with corn on the cob slavered in butter, sweet taters
and black eye peas. I just have to think whoever fed you
before was a Yankee in Rebels clothing. Or
else somebody just stole your candy yesterday.

Whoa, whoa. Make another thread about KFC or GRITS. Y'all are suppose to talk and debating about the Confederate flag, not the foods.

So, Confederate flag isn't racist. I know KKK use them. But that's their flag. I have a confederate flag hanging on my wall in my room. I'm not a racist, I'm just from the southern states, of course.

Schermy, you exactly didn't answer my question. Germans use swastika isn't part of the Confederate flag. Florida's state flag has a red cross that is representing the confederate flag, same goes for Georgia (first Confederate flag). Same thing for Alabama's flag as well.

lol, my bad about discuss others than confederate flag.

Ok, there's few different way for confederate flag.
-It's part of heritage, remember about civil war in 1800's.
-Redneck people are use this flag as their culture and demands on southern culture.

I had experience about certain of black peopl are not accept wih confederate flag, such as believe about slave and racial issue in long time ago and if they don't accept that as their personal then would be action against white people that who wear confederate flag logo on shirt, neckle, gear or hang up the flag at home and some of them are tolerate or ignore that, it's common in southeast usa.

I understand about their personal, one of my black friend had fought with some white guys that use confederate flag logo on shirt, neckle or gear.
