The purpose of this site is to host a variety of feeds and opinions covering the South; to reflect the South the way it is, not the conservative utopian way I want it to be. I needed a place besides my bookmarks to keep track of good Southern stuff.
To sanitize things for political correctness sake and exclude confederate and heritage sites would not be honest nor would it give a fair view of the South. At the same time, having just all confederate stuff would be just as incomplete.
And no "white race survival" stuff either. I don't like people who constantly try to play the victim. And that's all those sites are- white people pretending to be victims (and pretending there is a common white culture, and pretending they represent it).
