Confederate History Month in Virginia???

Advertisements [?]

Edited on Wed Apr-07-10 05:34 AM by Cyrano

Today's "Washington Post" reports that the Governor of Virginia has declared this Confederate History Month. Civil rights leaders are outraged about it, as should be every decent human being.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/06/AR2010040604416.html?hpid=topnews&sid=ST2010040604979

Is there also going to be a cotton picking contest, a faux flogging and a faux lynching?

When is the South going to stop this crap once and for all?

I know there are many decent people living in what was once the Confederacy. There must be some way to protest this disgusting insult to basic human decency.
