The right's latest buzzword is just racism by another name

[Aristus]

2. What took everyone else so long?

Southern-born liberals have known all our lives that, to Southern white supremacists, "heritage" has always meant racism, oppression of people of color, subjugation of women, and the maintaining of white, straight, cisgender men, however competent or incompetent, in positions of social, economic, and political power.

Every time the rednecks, hillbillies, and the evangelical and Baptist God-botherers used the word "heritage" (ad nauseam, I might add), they have meant a nostalgia for, and a determination to restore, ante-bellum white supremacy.

Bottom line.
