A clear double standard as racism is concerned.If the young man had been white, the flag would have come down and he would be out of school.The most discriminated against group in this country is the white American male. Glad that he stood his ground though

Slavery was a travesty but we must move past that (as our country has)and not try to erase history.

Folks that can’t let the past be past, never mention that the USA was the only country to fight a war to end it. It still thrives in Africa and the middle east though

I'd be disowned by the black folks in my family if I ever displayed a Confederate flag. They're already pissed off that I'm a Tea Party conservative who moved to Texas, and wears a cowboy hat!

Now start listening to Bob Wills, Ernest Tubb, George Jones and real Country music. You may no longer have any black family members left! :-)

"Family is family, for good or bad."

As I've mentioned a few times on FR, my mom and brother are dumb-assed libtards. Anyone who has managed to earn and save a few extra dollars is to blame for all their misery. It's really pathetic.

Back when I traveled a bit for work I was driving through Walpole Massachusetts. Not exactly the deep south to say the least but there were Confederate flags on everything: cars, in shop windows, flags etc.

I sure hope none of them were any of were flying the Stars and Bars upside down.

Your terseness leaves me wondering why that was a bad comparison. I also wonder if you have any sense of humor.

Damn, you must be spying on me. LOL

I finally got over my allergy to country music a couple of years ago. Had to, because no other genre makes real music anymore.

Sense of humor or not, you apparently lack the ability to express cogent opinions. Maybe you don’t understand the questions, or maybe you throw around fragments of thoughts to instigate reactions.

In either case, you bore me.

No, I'm in Texas, where The Wolf is the 800 pound gorilla of country music stations!

A cogent opinion? What did you not understand about it? There was no fragment of a statement, it was clear and to the point. You apparently thought you posted something really humorous, it was very sophomoric in reality.
