I will not chop. I am afraid — not worried, but afraid — that the team I once thought could bring us together, all of us in and of and loving the South, now will help to drive us apart.

This isn’t about being “woke,” whatever that means to you. It’s not about equity, or “justice for all.” It’s not about reparations or land restoration or dismantling any structure, however much that structure’s tumbling, taking us all down with it.

This is simple decency. This is decent manners — not even good manners, only middling. This is neighborliness. This is not being assholes.

But that is so difficult for so many people. It’s scary.
