An Epistle to my Southern Family, Friends and Neighbors by Gary Revel.

An Epistle to my Family, Friends and Neighbors of the South

If I were to say something like, "Ya'll might wanna set down, take your shoes off, and look this over; maybe even read it if you feel up to it." most of you would feel at home right away. If you didn't then you are probably not one of those that it aims to entertain.

I was born in Florala, Alabama and grew up amongst Southerners in Lower Alabama, Northwest Florida, Central Florida, Southern Georgia, and Southern Mississippi. Other than one Summer's ride to St. Louis to load watermelons on trains and one Summer in Pittsfield, Massachusetts and the trips to and from those destinations, the extent of my exposure was mostly of a Deep South nature.

I watched with utter contempt and a staggering feeling of empathy for real Patriots and Real Americans as KKK, Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists and White Nationalists betrayed themselves and every other American in the senseless circus of hate this past week in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Being a Southerner myself and having seen the hate, discrimination, bigotry and prejudice as a child that was a way of life for most Southerners and directed against not only African Americans but also Catholics and Jews I am disheartened and shocked that we as a nation of reasonable, and, should be, fair minded Americans haven't gotten past this yet.

The fact that our New York City born and bred President of the United States of America is deliberately fanning the flames of hate and taking advantage of innocent folks who really don't any better than to believe in their President, no matter what hate-filled or ridiculous position he promulgates, is enough to make every thinking person applaud an early exit for the man.

The injudiciousness of his recent statements that would pretend to align the values of those who once fought and died to destroy the United States of America (and to my sadness of which my ancestors were part of) with the values of our Forefathers, namely, our first President, George Washington and President Thomas Jefferson isn't just an assault on moral conciousness but an assault on every decent minded American.

I am not getting on any kind of holier than thou soapbox because I grew up thinking that some of these ideas of 'seperate but equal' might have been right but thank God I grew out of that delusion.

Even though I have lived in New York City, Los Angeles, Hollywood and many other vibrant Non-Southern cities in the United States I still have a bit of Alabama in me, especially Lower Alabama. The old saying that, "Your only as big as what it takes to get your goat." kind of spins around in my head right now and I don't want to let President Trump's lack of moral strength get the best of me, however, I must take a stand and tell the world that President Trump does not speak for red-bloodied Patriotic American Southerners. His lack of moral purpose and loss of his moral compass is far and away from decent, law abiding, God and Country loving Southerners and we are not KKK, White Supremacists, Neo-Nazis, or White Nationalists. We are real Patriots who believe in the United States of America and will do whatever is necessary to protect our flag, our honor and our National Security.

Sincerely,

Gary Revel
