bookmark_borderWhat I would have written if I had thought quickly enough…

“Imagine being proud of this shit,” someone wrote.

“Imagine thinking that being a daughter of the Confederacy is a good thing,” wrote another person.

Well, I am proud of it, and I will not apologize for being so.

I do think it is a good thing, and I will not apologize for thinking so.

I have just as much of a right to be proud of the things that I identify with, as you have to be proud of the things that you identify with.

Imagine going out of your way to leave a nasty comment on someone’s social media page, just because they are different from you. Imagine going out of your way to insult and ridicule someone, particularly someone who is already being insulted, ridiculed, and attacked, just because they identify with something that is different from what you identify with. 

That is what is truly difficult to imagine.
