I grew up in the south Louisiana to be specific. The confederate flag was not as ubiquitous as some seem to believe. Sure you would some times see a redneck driving a lifted truck with a confederate bumper sticker but it wasn’t the norm. Truck nuts and american flags were way more popular. But rednecks don’t make up a majority of the south.
Hell I saw a confederate flag sticker on the back window of a truck in California recently, sure its in the rural parts but its the first time I had seen one in real life in a long while. And we visit family in two Louisiana cities every year.
The south doesn’t own racism as a concept its a stereotype.
