OKLAHOMA CITY The Presidents Oklahoma visit sparked controversy all over the state.
Supporters of the confederate flag have their own message to send to President Obama.
In Durant, Okla. Wednesday morning, trucks lined up awaiting his arrival, and now supporters are in Bricktown.
Supporters want to let the President know the Confederate flag, they say, stands for heritage, not hate. The organizer of the event is someone you might not expect to see standing behind this cause.
It is a red, white and blue that, for many, carries a message of hate
but thats not the point these folks want to get across.
We dont believe its a symbol of racism, Andrew Duncomb, an organizer in Oklahoma City who calls himself the Black Rebel says.
Hell, Im just out here supporting my flag, not racists, I dont want no [sic] problems with anybody, a supporter said.
A message contrary to the thousands gathering weeks earlier in South Carolina to remove the very same flag.
Theyre blaming the racist problems on the flag and not on the real problems of America. Through the race lies the people who carry and harbor the hate inside, Duncomb says.

Now if the DC Cartel cannot start a race war over a flag, they just might let loose their Transvestite Battalions. And you have never seen anger as a man/woman/man scorned.

LOL. I may be from NY , but I do not consider myself a Yankee. My ancestors fought on both sides of the war.

So the real problems of America are that white people are racist?
And even if that were true, I wonder if black people really believe that eliminating racism in individuals is possible, or even a desirable goal to attempt to attain.
In all the talk of "racism" in America, I've never heard a black person explain how far they are willing to go to stamp out any "racist" feelings in any individual American.

I do not care about the confederate flag one way or the other, but I gotta love that guy holding it up.

In their usual arrogant, smug and totally uninformed way, Liberals have made themselves the final arbiter of what EVERYTHING or ANYTHING means... over and above all else and all others, and NO MATTER what the actual facts bear out.
THEY decide what a flag is, THEY decide what particular words mean... they, they, they...
Does that remind you of any OTHER failed societies?
Time for an end to THAT BS!
