Look at all those unsourced assertions and horselaugh fallacies. Araysar confirmed mad.We also owned a shitton of slaves and were one of the largest slave markets in America!
Also a ton of Kentuckians fought for the CSA!
Never forget us!
This is a strawman. I didn't say anything of the sort. Also, your entire argument here is a distraction fallacy. Sorry didn't catch this retarded post before or I would have already responded to it.
Yeah you pretty much said that whether you're southern or not is determined by whether you rebelled or not. You've been frothing about that exact thing as your only argument for the last 24 hours.
The SFP polling data was in the pictures linked. Reed's essay provided the other pictures. (He's got a whole serious of books on Southern Identity and the metrics used to identify it.) At this point, you're not even reading posts, you're literally just attempting to use the arguments that let you feel like you've won against other people. Mindlessly and desperately asking for cited evidence even when it's been provided and actual pictures have been attached so you don't have to go look for the papers themselves.
That is apparent to everyone else right? Because it's been like his only argument for the last 2 pages and now he's saying he didn't say it. It's amazing. At this point he's just trying to save face because it's not in his nature to concede. I actually feel sorry enough for him that I think I'm going to bow out and let him have his little delusion.
Why should I care what Reed has to say? Who is he? Why are you citing him? Why would a sociologist have any credibility in this debate when cultural arguments are already proven invalid repeatedly because they are too broadly applicable?
If your posts were worth reading, and weren't so easily rebutted, so full of tripe and so devoid of substance, I might spend more time reading them.
I'm literally just asking you to show me why I should ever consider a cultural argument, which is qualitative by design, as more valid or credible than simple historical fact.
Its the only argument I need. The fact that you guys have had to change your arguments so much to try and win is proof that my argument, my metric, is the fair one, and you're desperate for any port in a storm. Literally I don't need another argument. You can't refute it, so why would I need one?
We didnt change our arguments. We just brought many more additional ones that demonstrate our point, while you desperately clung to your singularly pathetic one.
You've gone from racism to water towers to names on high schools to sociologists you can't actually cite, to assistant professors who wrote a book once that might maybe support your point of view but you've never read it to actually know, to biscuits and gravy and everywhere inbetween.
Stay rekt though.
Whole state covered in Confederate markers, monuments, memorials, flags, symbolism. Government building and schools named after the Confederacy and confederate heroes. Most of the state lives, talks, eats and does exactly what people in Alabama and Mississippi do.
I like how you "helped" by ignoring the other 90% of the article where the author is describing Kentucky as a southern state.
Look at all that trying to change the subject and wriggle back out from under the retard rock he placed himself in.
