Nieman Marcus sells the Confederacy. Boycott Nieman Marcus. Or Nieman Marcus is dreaming of a "White" Christmas
Nieman Marcus is selling the Confederacy. Boycott Nieman Marcus.
It turns out that Nieman Marcus is selling the Confederate Fighter Motorcycle from Confederate Motor Works.

This is very Dallas, where the upper class wouldn't see any problem in celebrating the Confederacy. Dallas, unlike most major cities in America, and unlike Fort Worth, doesn't have a human rights commission.
This also should inform the reader that the love of the Confederacy isn't confined to lower income whites, who I think are maligned by stereotypes, but extends to educated upper class whites.
There are still companies that sell consumer goods with a Confederate identity.
Boycott Nieman Marcus
