My family has roots in Tennessee that go back to the early 1800’s.

All that being said, I hate the god damned South. I hate it’s constant pernicious racism. I hate it’s white supremacy. I hate it’s hard hearted fiscal and social policies.

I hate its States Rights philosophy that never does anything good for anyone.

I hate that other States have now been infected by the South and the hate and meanest are spreading.
