An ESPN sportswriter has declared on live TV that seeing the American flag being waved at the Tokyo Olympics symbolizes the "rise of white supremacy." Speaking during an appearance on CBS on Monday, Bill Rhoden said people waving Old Glory at the Games in Japan reminds him of the January 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.

If this is true, ESPN is a certified nuthouse and doesn’t belong on TV.

Think how twisted inside you have to be to make a comment like that.

They are starting to make white supremacy look credible and true.

“White Supremacy” is a derogatory term to most including me, but the truth is that white supremacy rose a long time ago because whites have been the #1 harnessers of nature and creators of nice places to live.

I don't know about you but my viewpoint on the black race has changed dramatically since 2008. I never even had a viewpoint about blacks except they were my fellow Americans. I saw very little racism growing up. It wasn't really even ever discussed (races). I went to school in both a rural school and a 'city' school which had a considerable number of black students. I do remember a few fights in the city school but they were always between blacks and they fought like animals.

So, my pov has changed. I now have one and it looks like comparatively, they are absolutely right.

The neat thing about America is they’re free to leave and find a flag they like. Odd, the haters never leave.

I've lived all my life in Alabama. I'm about as southern as it gets. And I've never voted for the party of slavery and segregation.

We should let the Democrats own their legacy of secession and slavery. The Republican party was created by Christian abolitionists. It's not a regional association (i.e. because we're southerners we're confederates). It's an ideological association and the Democrats are still ideological obsessed with their belief that the races are unequal. Don't let the Dims trick you into wearing their symbol of the racial oppression that they're guilty of. Don't let the Dims trick you into protecting their statues of their Democrat confederate heroes. We are Christians first and one of the most chest thumping worthy events in Christian history is when the Second Great Awakening succeeded in freeing the slaves from the Democrats and their "scientific racism" (the phrase they used then for what today we call "Darwinism").

If us Alabamians can still talk about Bama winning the 1993 Sugar Bowl and winning the 1992 national championship over the loud mouthed #1 Miami Hurricanes, then us Christians ought to be able to loudly proclaim our side won the argument over Democrats and slavery. I have family who moved to Florida, raised kids there, and taught their kids, who never lived in Alabama, to be die hard Bama fans. That's because to them it's not about their local region (Florida). It's about who they've always been. They'll be the last ones to wear a Miami Hurricanes cap when Miami plays Bama in the season opener this year.

Are us Christians in the south going to keep wearing the Democrats' battle flag? That battle flag represents the losers in the Second Great Awakening's win over slavery.

Indeed horrible. And the fact that so many corps are now run by Leftists have made the corporate landscape horrifying.

“Ok, but apart from that, what have White People ever done for us?”

No definite answer. Races do things for and against each other. But a race doesn’t improve itself by waiting for other races to do something for it. Whatever “improve” means. All races don’t have the same collective goals or interests.

It’s helpful when races can get along with each other.

To: Tell It Right

You have bought in to every Massachsetts argument about the causes of the war. The Christians like Stone wall Jackson, Pat Cleburne, and Robert E. Lee knew the South’s economy was being unfairly pilfered by the North. Men like William Wilberforce made the moral case against slavery but what to do wth all those slaves whose trade brought northern profits. The answer was a gradual transition from slave to wage slave (like me). Instead the war destroyed a generation of our best men and led to the Yankee/communist/Godless country the USA is becoming. Scalawags like you think Reconstruction excesses were a just punishment for the South but now the whole nation totters on the abyss. As ex-Confederate general ubal Early said, “What a gentle institution slavery must have been to so well prepared the Negro for the ballot box”.
