Are they going to bury the history of free-blacks owning black slaves in both the North and South?
>> connection between the Florida State Flag and the CS Battle flag...
St. Andrew’s cross
(Oh, yeah - and there’s plenty of slavery in the USA - plenty of his kinfolks are on the Democrat plantation.)
Memorial Day is about honouring the troops and those who served.
this jackass wants to make it about him instead.
“We are in America, and people have the right to fly whatever flag [they want],” Sims told the Sentinel. “And I have the right to bury whatever flag, and to burn whatever flag”
Really? I wonder how he’d react if a group of same-sex marriage opponents decided to have a Rainbow Flag Burning Day?
I sense a cottage industry popping up. Producing paper flags, specifically for burning.
They could have queer flags, communist flags, tree hugger flags, RAT(jackass) flags, Mexican flags, baby-killer flags.
Just imagine the exploding heads.
Oh, I forgot.
Mohammed flags.
Lincoln stumbled into a war but never doubted that he was acting with sufficient authority. He and Grant and Sherman chose to end that war as soon as and Johnston surrendered their armies, having accepted the verdict of war. Then Lincoln was shot and the Northern radicals pushed the issue beyond mere political capitulation to social revolution by disenfranchising the white majority in favor of a white majority raised to power by the votes of what was most states, a black majority. That situation could not last given that the great majority of Northerners felt little sympathy for the blacks. by 1876, the white majority in the south had gained control of the governments of the former Confederate states. The South had not been able to create a nation separate from the north but Reconstruction nonetheless had done more than the war to create national feelings in the South, and in the 19th century, nationalism was a a sentiment too strong to allow much tolerance for other nationalities. Even the European immigrants, at least those not from northern Europe, were not really welcomed, and their suffered as much, at least economically, as the blacks did, the difference in suffering being one of degree not kind. Blacks are naturally so focused on their own hardships to realize how far from equality other national minorities were suffering. Not until after the second World War did anything like equality emerge even among the whites, and blacks might do the hard work of trying to put themselves in the shoes of others who suffered property and discrimination.
Brave and good men (and boys) died under both flags.
This moron, and those like him, can’t get that through their thick sculls.
Obama brought much of this trash back into all of our lives. When this is over in 19 months - NEVER AGAIN.
Incorrect. Most slaves came to America under this flag:
Also true.
You’re cool; do you want to be my friend?
