    If you were raised in the south, also that slavery was never really a big deal anyways and it was mostly a deal with the North like just being really unfair and mean.

      Oh yeah, also the slaves benefited from slavery because it gave them shelter and food and useful life skills.

      Also also the Civil War was about evil Northern aggression and the Confederacy is heritage, not hate.

        Not the most overtly racist thing I’ve heard from my southern family, but it’s definitely top 5.
