Black America could experience a real change by slowing the rate of bastardy.

If you can defend burning the American flag as a first amendment right, you pretty much have to put up with not burning the Confederate flag as a first amendment right. deal with it.

Most blacks down here have no problem with the battle flag because most of them grew up with good ole boys who flew it or do fly it.

It’s the northern elitist types and the race hustlers which pretend to have a problem with it so they can raise money or get on their corrupt media outlets for attention.

These LIBs need to read the history of the DIMocRAT party...the party of Jim Crow, segregation, KKK and so forth. There are many “famous” racvists in that party’s history: Prez Wilson, Sheets Byrd, Sen Faubus among many, many, many others.

Removing the Confederate flag from the debate is a good start. Next step will be electing a Republican as the next president as no Democrat can claim credibility to address the issues at hand. Seriously, if Barack Obama couldn't do it, wouldn't even try, how does Clinton or any other Democrat hope to address it?

So, who best among the current Republican field has any credibility to tackle this issue?

My idea of change is when people of any color are held to the same level of expectations as everyone else.

When people of any color are not given a pass because of their color.

When persecution of OR special privileges FOR people is not predicated on what their supposed ancestors may or may not have done or had done to them.

I’m not paying for what my great great grandparents *might* have done to ANYONE. And I don’t give a damn about the ancestors of folks that may have done my ancestors wrong.

Maybe they could try staying in school and stop having bastard children?? Maybe stop committing crimes? Maybe stop doing drugs?

..."the Confederate flag is a representation of black enslavement and subjugation..."

I thought it was a symbol of Southern pride, defiance against a federalist tyranny and State rights. But hey whatever the liberal says it represents must be universally true. I, however, am offended by the elephant and mule symbols of the two major parties that enslave millions by bureaucratic chains, destroy families, punish achievement and steal to empower their leaders to do more of the same.

With most blacks race relations is a one way street. They expect that everyone should look at things from only their perspective. The perspective of whites is of no importance.

And nobody will be asked how the removal of the flag from public places actually improves their lives...

Black Americans have been taught by self-serving leftists that because there was once slavery in parts of the U.S., there is no such thing as liberty.

The truth is, Progressive Leftists are opposed to individual liberty as defined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The only real complaint they have about chattel slavery in America two hundred years ago is that the slaves were privately owned.

But they get orgasmic over the idea of slavery to the state.

Democrats never pass up on opportunity to tell us why enslavement by the state is for our own protection and our own safety, because life under the anarchy that conservatives want to impose is just too risky and dangerous. We can't have any of that inhumane "on-your-own economics" that conservatives advocate.

Thereby proving that you no longer have to be black to be an Uncle Tom.

And when the ban this flag....peace, rainbows, love, success, and rest will be accomplished for every black.....

For the rest of their lives and forever!

I wish these coward libs would quite playing with code words like “white supremacy” and grow a pair and just finally admit that what they really want is white genocide.

I am truly weary of the constant,unending talk about racism.

It has done nothing but make things worse.

Tossing around a racist accusation over any perceived slight has made people yawn when they hear the word used.

They want “real change”? Hell, they’re the nations most favored group already. In ads they’re portrayed in a positive light while caucasions are the dolts. I’m sick of it.

My prescription provider is Walgreens, but I’m changing that next week. New ad: Little white girl runs out of the house to carpool. Her hair isn’t in a pony tail like the other girls have. (Subliminal implication: White parents are neglectful.) Carpool driver — black woman — SAVES THE DAY by dropping by Walgreens and buying what she needs to “fix” the white urchin’s hair. (Subliminal implication: Black parents are better, smarter, more responsible, etc., than white parents.) Kids perform their dance on stage. Black mom is taking photos... because she cares and she’s there for her kid. White mom nowhere to be seen.

ADT ad: “Mr. ADT” (black) is protecting your home. He’s tough. He’s strong. The two burglars he confronts are white guys. Reality?

This theme seems to be in at least 50% of the TV ads.

Thank you for that thoughtful commentary on race relations, Mr. StormFront Troll. Most helpful were your powerful insights into how blacks view the issues.
