City Journal’s 10 Blocks: The Great Reverse Migration?

It’s not “Or-ee-gone”. It’s Or-uh-gun. Come on, that ain’t new baby!
My new neighbors here in the Land of Cotton are a black family that left Detroit. You see the same thing in Georgia, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, the Carolinas, etc.
And they bring their habits and politics with them, seeking to turn the South into the same kind of hellholes they left in the North and Midwest. And the black families aren’t as bad as the white families, at least openly. The black families are at least polite to your face and don’t condescend out loud (yet, anyway). The whites are the kind snotty upper middle class lefty types that came here because “taxes just became too much”, and yet they support those same stupid policies here. They move down here and tell us we can’t have our flags or traditions anymore, that we have to change the way we speak, and that we have to abandon our values and principles if they clash with their enlightened northern ideas. They’re trying to turn the whole South into Austin and Charlotte and NoVA. Conquered territories. To hell with that.
Yankee go home, no matter what your color.
Is this podcast one of Troy’s gigs?

I wonder what you would think of a sight I saw on a Denver street a couple months back where a fairly newer-model pickup truck sported a pair of confederate flags. Only in this case, the license plates were from my native South Dakota.
Care to elaborate on the “tradition” that bunch was engaged in?
