Back in the day, some hippies used the Confederate flag as a sign of non-conformity and rebellion; nobody called them racists or accused them of wanting to bring back slavery It was all going well until Neal Young had to remind everyone that Southern Man is a "RACIST", which in turn made a bunch of folk not want Neal Young around anyhow.

Actually it’s pretty much the same.
Both are risky, foolish, and maybe even deliberately tempting, but even so, neither response is actually justified.

Actually this is just outside the Beltway and down from the great old historic Martin Airport.
But I still wouldn’t be surprised if certain demographics held sway.

Seems to me the kid got the exact response he was trying to provokeIn contrast, black kids at a majority white school get to wear their Malcolm X and Black Power shirts (perhaps even a "Kill Whitey" shirt), all of which are much more unambiguously racial than the Confederate flag, without any fear of something like this ever happening to them, because if it did there would be hell to pay, not just for the perps, but for the school system. Funny how that works.

Actually that didn’t apply until much more recently - as everything else that’s gone down the drain.

It’s not inner city. Not even city. It’s county.

Totally insane that the parents didn’t say “NO!” It’s not if you’ll be beaten up, it’s when.
I don’t care what color they happen to be....I am so sick of thugs.

What’s the racial make-up of the school?
To: Drew68
You seem to believe physical assault is justified based on what someone is wearing. I don’t see how that’s different.

Wish I could tell you more, but check the posting by the person who actually lives near it.

Who said the parents saw their kid that morning. Most likely he has an absent dad and mom was still behind closed doors with her latest bf.

This is the Stars and Bars. Wear it on a t-shirt and confuse them.

Take notice of that site’s declaration under the demographics that “studies show diversity has long-term benefits...”
Barf!

Baltimore? What an idiot.

Rather the exact opposite. Not even as a joke can one compare the most individualistic western culture to a myopic totalitarian movement. The contemporary equivalent to the Nazi mobs are the antifa mobs, which hopefully--God Willing, and we Conservatives being effective--will receive a definitive message next Tuesday.
The most effective way to deal with these outrages is to make sure every Conservative votes next Tuesday.
Let's respond appropriately!
