The ONLY thing the corrupt, ignorant, racist NAACP has been successful in accomplishing the past 40 years -- is to keep too many black Americans in proverty, ignorance and solidly imprisoned on the Democrat plantation...

Nothing more....

The poverty pimps like Jesse, Al, and Calypso Louie live well ---- don't cha know...

Semper Fi

Because even the a-hole kkk is free to do so.

Never said they weren't.

No, but you did ask.

Reply #16:

But why does the KKK and such other white groups wave it around during their ceremonies?

I assumed that you knew they were free to do so and was wondering why you asked.

About 15 years ago, the Chicago Cubs did something (I can't remember what) that really pissed off Jesse Jackson. The good reverend threatened to boycott Wrigley Field. The incomparable Mike Royko, wrote a hilarious column where he suggested if Jackson really wanted to put the screws to the Cub's he should encourage more blacks to go to the games.

I meant it like this: Why the Confederate flag? I mean, this is basically where the Northern stereotype of the South unfortunately comes from. I now know what the South is and what it isn't, but I'm afraid to admit I didn't always think that way.

So why were the two ladies wearing it since they didnt know it was a boycott going on? Were they mocking it or what?

That's because the KKK and other like white organizations are full of ignorant racists... just like the NAACP.

They were wearing the bikinis because they wanted to. The gal said she didn't know there was a boycott, how could that be mocking it? Obviously there are blacks who aren't offended by the Confederate battle flag.

Gee, I went out to dinner tonight in Murrells Inlet and had to wait 45 minutes for a table. I guess not many people heard about the boycott....LOL

This requires quite a bit more intense study, if you ask me.

Hollings ( a democrat - ) brought the confederate flag back to SC in the late 1960's because he was trying to stick it to the civil rights movement. Democrats like to tell people that all racist became Republicans, but other than Maddox I can't think of one pol who switched. Byrd (D), the ex KKK guy, is still in the Senate.

I always wondered how a boycott of a state that is heavily black is supposed to help blacks.

Some visitors questioned the very logic of the boycott. Sitting in a lawn chair outside his hotel on the strip, Lamar Banks, an Air Force staff sergeant from Hampton, Va., said:

``Most of the people working in these hotels, cleaning the rooms, sitting at the front desk are African-American. So if we don't come down here, then we're taking money out of their pocket and food off their table. How's that helping us as a whole?''

Sounds like this guy gets it.

I agree--except lets not forget Strom and Lott. Other than that, none i think.

As for the non-converts... With Pat, I might agree with him on many things but he's an embarrassment. And Baker III is horrid when it comes to Jews. Other than that, i think we are clean.

And if we ever wanted a definition of a racist leftist, we could look to Margarete Sanger.

And with all that said, there are still plenty of backward people who will never know what either flag--Union and Confederate--actually mean.

What about Dean? Switch the word Jew for the words "white Christian" and you've got a real brown shirt. Dean's comments about Republicans, blacks and hotels is racist beyond the pale. Maybe Dean doesn't understand lots of black business people stay in upscale hotels. They're not all working as waiter serving white people... Other than that, I lived in the South when it was racist - and the dems then are the dems now. They've gone from all blacks are bad, to all blacks are good. Both positions are racist.

Ignorance of history. Anyway, the KKK of Reconstruction (it lasted 3 years) is much different from the KKK that was set up during the 20th century.

"Why the Confederate flag?"

Read history, not the myths we been told, but real history. The Republic of the Founding Fathers died after the South was illegally and unconstitutionally invaded and lost the War Between The States. A better and more accurate name for it is the War for the Destruction of the South.

That I'm aware of. Started out as a political organization, not to mention that some Jews were in it, and ended up as a Nazi-style white nationalist bunch. Both were bad, but the 1920 one was much worse.
