Being from the south I am proud of my heritage. Southern history is a rich one with good people as well as ignorant evil people. My ancestors never owned slaves. In fact they were poor farmers that struggled to make a living. My grandfather was the first of my family to make it. He bought and sold mules. I am proud of that south.

I personally would not wear it...But the costume itself is not racist. Enjoy wearing it. It did not happen without pics.
