It's an urge that can't be satisfied.
Gee ya noticed ???
sorry of course I meant to say..
Gee y’all noticed ???
I dunno,,seems to be Northeasterners have been slamming Southerners for decades. These recent events just give them more juice to spew.
I did some checking, and that site is a satire site.
...and of yeah - I'd put my gumbo and collards up against yours anyday
This article is correct. The coming ban on all things Confederate is robbing southerners of their heritage.
Yes
It takes money to mount such a campaign....who do you suppose is behind this revisionist of our history? Start with the usual race pimps Sharpton, Jackson, with money from people like Soros or just those who want America to be in turmoil and not paying attention to the real issues....
Lessee...checking the list of people qualified to be offended: Gays, Transvestites, Muslims, Illegal Aliens, Welfare bums, Blacks, Single moms, Inmates, Cannibals, Pedophiles, Democrats, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan and Chapo Guzman. Nope, don’t see Southerners who like the Confederate flag or Christians there - Go get ‘em!
Yes, your point is supported by the language of the tribe, which has origins in the slave trade. Isn't it curious--or is it really--that no one in the media has ever raised the question; even after the son saw fit to set his father up as an heroic figure in the son'e fight to "change" America?
Of course, to be completely fair, both Clinton & Bush II made fools out of themselves by going to Senegal to denounce slavery--something akin to going to Paris to denounce fashion. Why? Well for openers, among those who know the history involved, Senegal in the 1880s--a while after slavery ended in America--was composed of two classes of people, slaves & slave owners. (And just who was likely to be descended from which group in the leadership class that our two previous very confused Presidents were trying to impress with their moral posing?)
May a kind God deliver America from the era of the Poseurs to a false virtue, into which our people have fallen! We are being systematically led astray by charlatans--by modern Pied Pipers, who have found the formula to arrest analytic ability.
One might heed the personal witness of Booker T. Washington, who understood both his native South & the American formula for success, and sought until his dying day to avert the sort of hate-mongering now infesting the American Left.

The truth about those Northerners that loved blacks so much.
Fleeing Northern Race Prejudice
“As the war for the union began to take on the character of a war for freedom, northern attitudes toward the Negro paradoxically began to harden rather than soften. This hardening process was especially prominent in the northwestern or middle western States where the old fear of Negro invasion was intensified by apprehensions that once the millions of slaves below the Ohio River were freed they would push northward – this time by the thousands and tens of thousands, perhaps in mass exodus, instead of in driblets of one or two who came furtively as fugitive slaves.
The prospect of Negro immigration, Negro neighbors, and Negro competition filled the whites with alarm, and their spokesmen voiced their fears with great candor. “There is,” [Illinois Senator] Lyman Trumbull told the Senate, in April, 1862, “a very great aversion in the West – I know it to be so in my State – against having free negroes come among us.”
And about the same time [Senator] John Sherman, who was to give his name to the Radical Reconstruction Act five years later, told Congress that in Ohio “we do not like negroes. We do not disguise our dislike. As my friend from Indiana [Congressman Joseph A. Wright] said yesterday, the whole people of the northwestern States are, for reasons correct or not, opposed to having many negroes among them and the principle or prejudice has been engrafted in the legislation of nearly all the northwestern States.”
So powerful was this anti-Negro feeling that it almost overwhelmed antislavery feeling and seriously imperiled the passage of various confiscation and emancipation laws designed to free the slave. To combat the opposition Republican leaders such as George W. Julian of Indiana, Albert G. Riddle of Ohio, and Salmon P. Chase advanced the theory that emancipation would actually solve northern race problems.
Instead of starting a mass migration of freedmen northward, they argued, the abolition of slavery would not only put a stop to the entry of fugitive slaves but would drain the northern Negroes back to the South. Once slavery [was] ended, the Negro would flee northern race prejudice and return to his natural environment and the congenial climate of the South.
One tentative answer of the Republican party to the northern fear of Negro invasion, however, was deportation of the freedmen and colonization abroad . . . the powerful backing of President Lincoln and the support of western Republicans, Congress overcame [any] opposition. Lincoln was committed to colonization not only as a solution to the race problem but as a means of allaying northern opposition to emancipation and fears of Negro exodus.

I can’t wait for the first idiot that gets shot on someone’s property trying to take down the confederate flag.
Third. The second was from 1954-1972.
the frist one never ended
Yawn.
You got a problem with FACTS.
