I am proud to say I live in and am from the the deep south.  There is no other place that has the varied culture or history that the south does.  We Southron's are often portrayed as ignorant, backwards, racist hicks, however, nothing could be further from the truth.  While there are those of us who still have some of the old southern feelings, the South today isn't the place it used to be.  For one thing, it's far more multicultural, and mixed.  While there are those who would say that this is a good thing, a positive sign of how much we've progressed, I will disagree with that assessment.   For one thing, in most neighborhoods, to include the area I live in, blacks and whites don't live separately.  While I do live on a farm in what was once a fairly rural place, it has progressed to the point that it now resembles the suburbs of Savannah GA.  This hasn't just affected the area I live in, but a large number of area's surrounding Savannah.  What was once the country with a little community here and there has gotten to the point where communities no longer have clearly distinguishable divides, and in the cases of a good many towns, the only difference between one and the other is a sign that says you're in a different town limit.  This has led to an influx of mixed communities.   I also don't believe that you'll see the large number of mixed couples and mixed race children in other parts of the country that seem so prolific in this area.  Most people say it's stupid, shrug their shoulders, and go on.  They simply accept it.  While they may teach their children that this is wrong, their actions send out a completely different message.  Yes sir, the South has changed, and not for the better.  While I know a good many whites in the South who are angry about this, very few are willing to take a stand and say they don't like it.  Most of them are worried about jobs, providing for their families, and other things along that line.  Like I said in another blog post, people are sheep and will remain content to let things go the way they are going so long as it doesn't infringe upon their comfort zone.   We in the South have got to start being more vocal and proactive or all that we cherish will be lost.  Many Pro-Southern organizations are now quick to point out that they aren't racists and welcome any and all who want to join.  If not for the white man, the South wouldn't be where she is today.  While it may be true that King Cotton came about on the back of slave labor, what is often overlooked is that only 2% of the population owned slaves.  It isn't the vast majority of white peoples fault that slavery came about, yet the guilt they are tricked into feeling is a direct result of having the acceptance of multiculturalism beaten into their heads by minorities playing the race card.  It is like there is a stigma attached to being pro-white, and people seemed scared to death of being labeled a racist.  Guess what, it's only a word, and a word that is overly used and abused to cow white people who oppose the jew/minority lobby into accepting things that they normally wouldn't accept.  How are we to hang on to our proud heritage, our history when we allow it to be taken away from us by people threatening to call us a word, a name that has only as much importance and meaning as we allow it to have?   I can't speak for the majority of the people in the South, and from what I've seen lately, I don't think I'd want to.  Allowing yourself to be pushed around isn't the Southern way.  We have a proud history of fighting for the things that we believe in.  We have defiantly stood and told the federal government that we won't tolerate being treated like second class citizens.  Will we dishonor and bring a stain upon those who died so we could do this?  There are those who seem overly glad to do so, I'm not one of their number.  We WN's in the South sometimes feel we are fighting a losing battle.  We go out, try to recruit, try to be active, and what does it get us.  At best, a disconsolate kind of apathy, at worst, people threaten us or attempt to do us physical harm.  You have to be very careful who you talk to, as you never know who is going to run to the authorities to rat you out, proud that they are appeasing the very system that is trying it's damnedest to destroy them.  Fools, idiots, and cowards who can't see the threat looming in front of them from the greed of personal ambition that covers their very eyes to the one thing that does seek to harm them.   There are people today who claim that they are honoring their brave ancestors by doing re-enactments, yet I don't think their brave ancestors would have tolerated what they seem to be tolerating today.  Their ancestors proof of their deeds is written on tombstones in Confederate cemeteries around the south.  It's written in the blood that they spilled fighting for Southern soil, and a way of life that they hoped to bring about to insure a hopeful future for following generations.  One only has to look at history to see how pro-white causes have been viciously attacked and destroyed, not because of the means they were using to achieve their ends, but simply because they stood for white people.  Be it the American Civil War, or World War II, those brave enough to stand proudly for race and nation have been savagely beaten and then treated like they were the scum of the earth.  You can see this today in a lot of the attitudes in the South, as well as post-war Germany.  In the South, to say that the negro isn't the equal of the white man even now will bring you ridicule and derision, and in Germany to speak ill of the foul Jew will bring you jail time.  We fought and lost the war, but we lost so much more.  We lost our pride, our honor, and our dignity, and like the sheep so many people are, it's been allowed to continue unabated and unchecked for so long, that it now seems a part of the national psyche.  How can we overcome this?  How do we tell people that they shouldn't feel ashamed for knowing what is right?  Very carefully my brothers and sisters.  First we have to open their eyes, and then instill a sense of racial pride in them that many just don't feel anymore.  It can be done, though it will be a rough road to achieve this.  However, the things most worth doing are never easy, but they are very necessary.
