WHAT IS A CONFEDERATE SOUTHERN AMERICAN Pt 1 of 4 by KIRK D. LYONS

Are you tired of Anti-Southern discrimination and bigotry directed at Southern people? Are you tired of being called a racist simply because you are proud of the Confederate Battle flag - the symbol of your ancestry and heritage?

The Southern Legal Resource Center (SLRC) is asking Southerners to stand up and be counted as "Confederate Southern Americans" on the 2010 US Census. Question #9 on the Census form asks for information on "Race,." The SLRC suggests you check "Other Race" and in the space below write "Confed Southern Am." This will tell the Census that your families National Origin was the Confederate States of America, for four years a nation independent of the United States. Your spouse, may also so declare even if born outside the South. Those sympathetic to the Confederate Southern American Community may also so declare.

Now learn more about what a Confederate Southern American is.

I say we let them secede...So that way we can nuke them without having to worry about nuking our land... You "sons of the confederates" bitch about it not being about hate but about herritage, but say you would have won the war... What the F*** would you rednecks contribute? The north offered opertunity, land, jobs, industry, fairness, and even rebuilt the damage caused to the souther states. What did the CONYS offer? slavery and fair oppertunity to WHITE people only.

Thank you for reading the "hate" mail. XD

Your ancestors came from Europe by the look of you. When exactly did your ancestors come over from Europe? Did they come from England? Germany? Poland? That makes you a "European American", that's your heritage. My ancestor came from England, moved to Georgia, and fought for the Union and so did all his neighbors. After the war, he came back to Georgia and got rich.

If you are a Confederate, you are not an American. The Confederacy seceded! If you would like to identify as a Confederate then it follows, that your constitutional rights, privileges, and protections that are reserved for American citizens should be stripped immediately. You state that every person from another country is recognized as such. The only problem with this argument is that as you stated yourself the Confederacy only existed in the PAST for a few years. It no longer exists.
