"JOHNNY LIED ABOUT HIS AGE BUT HE COULDN'T HIDE THE FIREY RAGE TO FIGHT FOR THE LAND HE LOVED SO WELL"
JOHNNY COULD HAVE BEEN MY ANCESTOR IN 1861 WHEN HE ENLISTED IN THE TENNESSEE INFANTRY. THE RAGE THAT HE FELT THEN IS THE SAME RAGE THAT I FEEL NOW AS OUR SYMBOLS AND FLAGS OF OUR CONFEDERATE HERITAGE ARE BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM US BY A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT ARE SO FILLED WITH HATE THAT THEY CAN'T SEE THAT THEY ARE ALSO LOOSING A PART OF THEIR HERITAGE.
WHY DO THESE GROUPS TRY TO JUDGE WHAT OUR ANCESTORS HAD IN THEIR MIND 140 YEARS AGO WHEN THEY CHOSE TO SUCEED AND FIGHT FOR THIER RIGHTS. THEIR HAD TO BE MUCH MORE TO IT THAN SLAVERY FOR SO MANY TO HAVE BEEN WILLING TO SUFFER AND DIE FOR THE CONFDERACY. NO ONE IN THIS TIME CAN UNDERSTAND THE REASONS THEY FOUGHT SO WHY DO WE THINK THAT WE HAVE A RIGHT TO DESTROY THE FLAG AND SYMBOLS FOUGHT UNDER.
THE NAACP WAS ONCE A GREAT ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO RIGHTING WRONGS THAT HAD LASTED FOR CENTURIES. NOW IN ORDER TO KEEP THEIR HIGH PAYING JOBS THEY HAVE DEGRADED THEMSELVES INTO A GROUP THAT IS TRYING TO EXPUNGE OUR HISTORY. I SINCERLY PRAY THAT THEY CAN CHANGE AND BECOME MORE ALIGNED WITH THE BELIEFS OF MORE MODERATE BLACK MEN.
OUR LEADERS, THOSE PEOPLE WE INTRUSTED TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT HAVE BETRAYED US. FROM GEORGE W. TO JEB BUSH, THE GOVENOR AND LEGISLATURE OF GEORGIA, THE STATE OF TEXAS AND SO ON , ALL HAVE GIVEN INTO THE ONE OF THE OLDEST SALES TECNICS IN HISTORY , "THE FEAR OF LOSS".
NO ONE EVEN KNOWS IF THESE FEARS ARE FOUNDED IN TRUTH. HAS A BOYCOT TAKEN PLACE HAS ANY ONE LOST ANY REVENUE. THESE QUESTIONS CAN'T BE ANSWERED.
MY HEART GOES OUT TO SOUTH CAROLINA. YOU TRIED TO COMPROMISE BY MOVING YOUR FLAG FROM THE CAPITOL DOME BUT NO COMPROMISE IS GOOD ENOUGH EXCEPT THE COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF OUR SOTHERN HERITAGE. YOU NOW STILL FACE MORE TROUBLES. DON'T GIVE ANY FURTHER THE HEARTS OF THE SOUTH ARE WITH YOU.
MISSISSIPPI, KEEP YOUR FLAG
MISSISSIPPI, KEEP YOUR FLAG
MISSISSIPPI, KEEP YOUR FLAG
I SALUTE ALL THE BRAVE PEOPLE WHO VOTED TO KEEP YOUR FLAG AS A SYMBOL OF YOUR SOTHERN HERITAGE.
MY RAGE IS SIMPELY THAT, IT IS NOT HATE, IT IS NOT BIGOTRY. MY LOVE FOR MY FELLOW MAN IS STRONG BUT WHAT SOME ARE DOING TO OUR HERITAGE CAN'T BE ALLOWED TO GO ON.
"AIN'T NOBODY GONNA CHANGE THE DOGGON WAY I AM."
"DIXIE LAND LIVES FOREVER, THE WAY I AM."
