And people wonder why we waste time on Confederate nostalgia. I bet that these folks are incensed that the United States is currently governed by a NOT EVEN REAL MURICAN!!!!

Happy Friday! With roughly one week until census forms are due, a group of Confederate rights activists is urging southerners with Confederate ancestors to declare themselves “Confederate Southern Americans” on census forms in order to qualify for national origin protection under the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Federal law makes it illegal to discriminate because of a person’s birthplace, ancestry, culture or language. The South North Carolina-based Southern Legal Resource Center believes that people with ancestors who were citizens of the Confederate States of America should be entitled to ethnic identity and protection since the country no longer exists.

1. WTF?

Exactly what protections do they think they'd get that they don't already have? What a bunch of idiots.

3. Anti-Civil-Rights People

have always claimed that minorities were being awarded "special rights." I guess this is an attempt to get some of that mythical special treatment.

10. Actually my questions were rhetorical.

It was trying to make the point that you just made. I guess I didn't do it too well. Thanks for answering. :hi:

12. Sorry,

Didn't mean to answer a rhetorical question there.

:blush: :hi:

15. No need to apologize. Not your fault.

My post probably appeared to be a sincere question.

6. Maybe they should look up the Brazilian town of Americana

Settled mainly by Confederate expatriates shortly after the Civil War. Their modern descendents maintain some of the antebellum Confederate customs and dress as much as they're able, but they identify themselves as Brazilians, and the town is now made up largely of Italian immigrants. Only about 10% of Americana residents are Confederados, but there is still a small English-speaking enclave in the town.

FYI, the first Confederate immigrant to Americana was William Hutchison Norris, a former Senator from Alabama. He and other fellow expatriates moved to Brazil partially because slavery was still legal there, but times eventually changed down there as well.

8. "Traitor-Americans" would be more accurate..

They lost... the whackjobs seem to have a hard time understanding that.

Biggest mistake this country ever made... not letting them go.

Of course, we'd now be plagued by a wave of "lazy illegal aliens, not willing to work or learn English".

9. why does there seem to be such an abundance of ignorance these days?
