If she finds the song "Dixie" offensive because it is "associated with slavery", what does she think of the South? I guess we are not allowed to set foot in Madison (not that I would want to) because, by her logic, we are associated with slavery.

I never realized how much the north hated the south until I got internet.

It looks as though the words to Dixie could be interpreted to be ANTI-GAY!

Um, actually it was written in 1859 by a white man who performed in a black-face minstrel show.

..."Dixie" was written by a black man.

That doesn't seem to be the case. Would'a been funny though.
