Some dude who seems to like humblebragging about his family’s slave-owning past. It’s an oblique way of letting everybody know his family had status in antebellum times.
Jeez,
Lots of laundry.
I won’t.
Someone should ask Mr. McGee if he feels the same way about New York City and it’s role in all of this. During the period up to and during the Civil War, it’s ports were very much dependent on cotton and other commodities from the South. Along with that, many Irish and others in New York City wanted to keep slavery as to not threaten this economic relationship with the South and also to keep blacks from taking away their jobs when they escaped from the plantations, even more so if slavery were to be abolished.
That’s why the very crooked and corrupt Tammany Hall politicians, aided by very racist local newspapers, wanted New York City to separate itself from the governments in both Albany and Washington DC over abolishing slavery. And that’s why in turn the very violent and very anti black draft riots in 1863 took place there.
“The Confederate flag is gone. I will not miss it for one single second.”
We won’t miss you either...F face.
McGee should go back to his home of the potato famine.
What a TOOL
Well, it’s all about you, isn’t it?
It is neat that the soy boy can now live a fulfilled life, knowing that NASCAR has outlawed the Confederate flag.
ESPN—permanently boycotted....
See ya ESPN, wouldn’t want to be ya.
I don’t like the Confederate flag but I don’t like intimation either! Makes me want to go out and buy a Confederate flag on principle
This goof sounds like he is taking on all the white guilt for slavery all on his back.
He should grab a cannon ball and jump off a ship.
Then he will be absolved.
You'll feel better.
Life long Southerner, former U.S. Marine, and 1st generation of German parents immigrated in 1950.
I have never understood the devotion to the rebel flag. I pledge allegiance to the U.S. flag. This desire to keep the rebel flag would be like my family supporting the Nazi flag because they had family that died in WWII.
Just some thoughts.
Have a good day.
Read the first paragraph only...what happened?
I have love for the confederacy but eff you ryan.
It is disingenuous to get rid of the flag but not the political party that gave us the confederate flag; the Democratic Party
Hey asshole - bite me.
Offended by a colored piece of cloth? Are you also offended by statues? Monuments and memorials? Should we tear them all down so aren’t offended?
EPSN is Disney.
Disney is a predatory, malicious operation.
I’ve never heard of anyone pledging allegiance to the rebel flag
