You're not fooling us, Corey.
Heritage? Surely if it was about "Southern Heritage", you would be defending Country/Blue Grass music, Southern Cooking, Appalachian Folk Arts/Music, The Blues, the South's abundant, breathtaking natural beauty and mountains, the lush and fragrant magnolia trees, etc.
There's a lot to embrace....Bigotry, Slavery and Treason are not things to embrace.
Just accept that all people are one race, regardless of color, ethnicity or creed (we're all African, by the way), blacks are the same as whites, people should be judged by character, alone and you were wrong for rebelling over stupidity like the economically non-viable practice of using human beings as livestock/farming machines.
Consider yourselves Christian? Well; Listen to this guy....
GALATIANS 3:28 (KJV)
28. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
....A TRUE CHRISTIAN makes no distinctions between color, ethnicity, gender, sex, etc.
....Oh; Jesus was a Jew, Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism and Judaism, Christianity and Islam are variations of a Monotheistic tradition from the Mid-East....where all those "Brown People" live....

....So...REALLY! LAY OFF THE BIGOTRY! IT'S STUPID....AND YOUR SCRIPTURES ARE NOT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY!
You lost the Civil War! ACCEPT IT!
