Video at link. So the prof is trying to evoke, yet another, ho hum, honest dialog about race. I wonder what his reaction would be if Terry Jones tries to pull off another koran burning?

So does this mean every kid who has a replica of the General Lee Charger is a White privileged racist?

[Catmom]

Paying attention to people like this is like feeding trolls.

“....an African American-influenced musical performance...”

He can burn It if he wants to. I’ve got another one.

[SaxxonWoods]

These people ever stop thinking of new ways to be jerks.

I’m from the south, born and raised. The Rebel flag is an important symbol to me because it represents a region of the country that I identify with as being similar to my moral beliefs. That’s all. It simply means The South to me. Burn it if ya like homie, whatever. It’s not like our Nations Flag or anything. My family has lots of blood under the Red,White,and Blue. Likely to feed that one to ya if you try to light it up.

Someone should start burning rainbow flags and see how they like it.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Better, yet. Burn the hammer and sickle.

Who could’ve guessed?

[Timber Rattler]

“The Confederate flag is a flag of terror from its use by the Klan in the ’20s to the anti-civil rights movement in the ’50s and ’60s.”

Wrong flag, dufus.

[digger48]

A guy in my area has a Smarty Car painted up as the General Lee. I guess he’s just a little racist.

[robowombat]

I wonder if Julian has made the connection between the Florida State Flag and the CS Battle flag yet?

[easternsky]

Hey pal the War in Viet Nam has a lot of” Toxic Memories” for a lot of us but we have the KERRY FONDA crowd to remind us almost daily. Stuff happened get over it.

[W.]

Guess what? He’s black. Surprise! Got a website, too. HisName.com I ain’t gonna link it.

[dila813]

These people who hate the confederate flag still believe that the people who died under it, died for slavery.

Such ignorance of history.

I know that there were some who did, but I haven’t heard of a single son of the south fighting for slavery.

There is no question that slavery was an element of the events that sparked the war.

[easternsky]

That was not meant for you, it was for the Author of the article, sorry. I was ticked.

[Amagi]

We’ve got an over-load of dumb jackasses in the ivy halls of over-priced academia just now.

[Shadowstrike]

Someone needs to “inform” this Prof that MOST Slaves came to America under the Stars and Stripes, NOT the Stars and Bars.

[Bob]

Well, he is chairman of a history department. Why would you expect him to know anything about history?
