Slippery slope getting rid of history. A lot of people will have to change their last names as they were slave owners. Delta is very diverse. I like it. I don’t like being told I should be ashamed for my pale skin color from management.
Put the civil war stuff where it belongs: in museums and text books |

the entirety of aviation post dates the civil war. I’ve yet to hear a good reason ATL gets to be nonstandard (special) in this regard.

I will say "Dixie" the rest of my life because I'm not ignorant. If the offended continue to get their way we will have nothing left. Our society will have no personality and no tradition. It will be all lies that make us "feel" good rather than truth. Dixieland is simply the southeastern United States and it received this name after a dispute in Maryland that was resolved by Mason and Dixon, It is why Delaware is so small and Pennsylvania has a flat bottom. I guess up next for us southerners is yankee accent training.
Grow up you pansy! |
Only in the Delta forum do these threads seem to pop up. Looks like our peers have been right all along. I personally blame it all on Peachtree City. Nothing good can come out of an insulated, golf cart driving, Stepford Wives type community.

Grow up you pansy! wars over, the line is gone, and it’s non standard. I’m not offended, more like perplexed that people need to cling to this stuff and place it (keep it) in the most inappropriate places, like an international airport. |

Anything is offensive if you want it to be. Wait and see... eventually there will be an expose on national media about how pilots at ATL (and DAL will get called out by name) are clinging to archaic and innapropriate references to the old south slavery culture, etc, etc. Very soon you won't be able to separate ANY aspect of southern heritage from racism.

Id love to hear your take on the group NWA. Is it ok to listen....but just never speak their name? Or is it ok to spout acronyms of offensive words...just not the words them self. So can i still say "whistling dixie"? As a fyi....it has nothing to do with actually whistling dixie. |

Grow up. Noone one is buying this bs management is touting. They focus on an image while they use skin color to advance under qualified candidates, they dont condemn the looting and rioting instead want us to take courses and read books in what it's like to be a minority. Well i was one in the state I grew up in, I have seen rascist hiring through affirmative action and rascist scholarship based on being non white Christian males. Wont buy it wont follow it. Dixie isnt rascist neither is the flag or police. But affirmative action is.

Okay im trying to follow this. The word predated the song composition. So now we must cleanse words brcause they are used in a subsequent 'offensive' format.
