The Confederacy Needs to Pull Themselves Up By Their Bootstraps

Reese Waters | May 10, 2026



Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed into law a bill that ends state tax exemptions for several Confederate organizations.

HB167 reverses a segregation era carve-out in the state’s tax code that has benefitted the United Daughters of the Confederacy and other pro-Confederate groups since the 1950s.

    Democrats in our government should allowed Trump to continue to destroy the US Economy and Health Care for at least six more months. These people who voted for Trump MUST feel their mistake to their core! They keep voting against the best interest of the country over and over again – Why they vote Republican is beyond me!

    Wow! A simple Google search shows that 69.4% of all arrested individuals in 2019 were white! These racists just throw any bs out there to try and justify their racism 😂

    Those Confederacy groups were skating on property taxes!? While we’ve been paying property taxes in our homes AND fucking cars?? Good on the governor for cutting the money teat on their asses!😤

    Reese if you think that's bad, SC has decided to issue new tags to everyone with the losing military uniform, some skinny man that can't hold a riffle upright, the x across his uniform and some crap about 250 year celebration – more people are returning them to get the In God We Trust tag instead of riding around being a laughing stock! It's ugly and its not cool to try and force winners to be losers with the other losers – I told the lady at DMV – I do not want that tag, you do not throw a parade for the losing team – they lost that battle regardless of the story that was spit out!

    Seeing my friend Bernard Taylor who's running for Congress in Florida in that quick Cameo of the plantation burning down (he's the firefighter just chillin in his chair) made me laugh out loud 😂 He's absolutely amazing and if you live in his district you should 100% Vote for him! He truly cares about the people of Florida and wants to do all he can to make your lives better.

    Thank you Reese for always keeping us on top of all the racist BS that is still happening so we can do all we can to fight against it. You and every other Black person in this Country deserve so much better. I will always do all I can to ensure you get the full respect, rights, and inclusion you all so richly deserve.

    Whose gonna tell em the Confederates lost and they were the LOSING team referred to as treasonous to America? Never seen people that wanna rock with the worst of the country so bad. That's why land was taken from the general of the Confederacy and became Arlington National cemetery.

    It would be cool if they explained the history of the civil war and why the confederacy was wrong ! I’m a southern born man A Democrat and I not once voted for Donald Pedo Trump and I’m here to tell you all history should be studied ugly parts and heroic and honorable parts that is what keeps people intelligent and aware so they don’t build dumb fake narratives!

    22:15 Fun fact, I was in 3rd grade in 1984 when I received a scholarship from the daughters of the confederacy. Even at 8 y.o., I knew enough to be like, "do they realize I'm Black?" It felt dirty and was NOT an honor in my mind.. Never used it 😒

    Reese! Man I can’t believe you’re saying everyone in the south are like those mentally sterile opossum chompers in the net ad you played. I despise people like that. They like the shock value; I would bet that they wouldn’t wear that crap around were I grew up: West End, Birmingham. I still live in Alabama and hate being associated with people like that. It’s just like the whole world thinks that people born in the US are all MAGA.

    To be clear, it was the Southern Dixiecrats who supported the triple K and became what is now the REPUBLICAN PARTY. It was not the modern day Democratic Party that supported the klan.

    Reconstruction was America's greatest mistake.

    Seize ports & railways, build a hard border and let them stew in their inbred ignorance! No blue state welfare handouts. They would collapse

    Now Wait 🛑👋🏾🫷🏿 I have two things to say
    #1. We are supposed to get over slavery but they want to honor the Confederacy because it's a part of history and heritage. HMMM OK🤔 Make that make sense!

    #2. I am an African American woman born and raised in Mississippi. I'm a descendant of a Confederate soldier (He was a major in the army) and I still carry his last name. This has been verified through DNA and years of research. I have matched with white cousins who I have spoken with. With that being said, I wonder how they would react if an African American tried to join their organization? Not that I would ever want to join such organization. 🤢🤮

    Their admiration for the Confederacy, just like their protection of the vile people of the January 6 attempted overthrow of the government, proves they value racism over America.
