Ruh Roh. Little did I know that, apparently, Mrs. rktman is a racist. We/she have fleur-de-lis curtain tie backs in every room, a fleur-de-lis clock. She even has a fleur-de-lis apron hanging in the kitchen on a fleur-de-lis hook. Oddly enough, we had an african-american (I know, actually an American) friend over and she never even noticed. Maybe she doesn't/didn't know she was supposed to be offended. Maybe the next time she's over I'll let her know that these are ugly reminders of time gone by. :>}

In bourgeois society, therefore, the past dominates the present; in Communist society, the present dominates the past.

The Communists are further reproached with desiring to abolish countries and nationality.
That is what this is really about.

From wik:
‘In the Middle Ages the symbols of lily and fleur-de-lis overlapped considerably in Christian religious art. Michel Pastoureau, the historian, says that until about 1300 they were found in depictions of Jesus, but gradually they took on Marian symbolism and were associated with the Song of Solomon’s “lily among thorns” (lilium inter spinas), understood as a reference to Mary. Other scripture and religious literature in which the lily symbolizes purity and chastity also helped establish the flower as an iconographic attribute of the Virgin. It was also believed that the fleur-de-lis represented the Holy Trinity.[33][34]’

Heh, we're all tired of idiots whose entire life revolves around finding things to be offended over. I've had the proportionate displeasure to have met several of these types and they are all the meanest, most bitter and unhappy persons I've ever known. You want to tell them to tie a plastic bag around their necks and go to sleep. Damn, just go away already if you're so bloody miserable [but they won't--they're professional whiners]!

Secondary target.

Next primary target will be the State of Mississippi flag and perhaps the flag of the State of Arkansas.

The Commies are on a roll, and they know it.

I just had a cup of black coffee in a white cup. I’m sorry. I’ll change.

I fear for the French Battle Flag. It is used to make KKK robes, bed sheets also.

Any symbol used by people who are or were identifiably “white” is ipso facto a racist symbol. All symbols of white privilege must be eradicated. That includes grave markers of white people and streets and buildings named after white people and so on, etc., and et al. Center lines on streets must be changed from racist white and yellow to brown or black.

Well, I’m personally deeply gratified that the deaths of the nine innocent Bible studiers in Charleston, gunned down by the deranged nut off his meds, have now been honored and properly recognized by the strong and swift popular action of banning the Confederate flag wherever it be found. There! Ha! All fixed!

Just this morning on a local radio talk call-in show, some guy who said he was the president of some puffy sounding Important Committee, phoned in to demand that Bill Cosby’s star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame be “yanked up by its roots and melted down!” I wasn’t aware the star’s stars actually took root, as a plant would, but I’m not the president of an important citizen’s committee on the public safety; I’m just some little dumb guy hopelessly soaked in his own White Privilege, so nothing I could add or say would have any weight. My white life doesn’t matter, I guess. I am blind, I am stupid, I am a hater, I am ignorant, and I am evil — all by simple definition. My skin tells the only story worth knowing about me. I should be put to death as a “useless eater.” I am a despicable modern day Shylock, a rotten and hateful creature by birth. (Still, “if prick’d, do I not bleed?”)

Are we now to ban anything, anywhere that anybody, anywhere finds offensive?

I predict that in ten years school children (Politically Incorrect? Maybe “Pre-Adult Citizens In Training” would be better?) won’t even be taught there was a “Civil War,”, or a “War Between The States,” or even a “Yankee War Of Aggression. The whole subject will be presented, if at all, as a brief Northern military incursion in force to correct certain
unspecified sociological irregularities taking place in the South. A few brief skirmishes, and the deviant stupid South was set back on a proper course of development. Victory for all. Those poor souls who were killed, all died pointless deaths devoid of meaning and honor and not worthy of any respect or acknowledgement in these more modern and
enlightened times.

We must re-phrase Lincoln for these modern enlightened times. He is now better rendered as, “With charity for none, and malice for all, unlike us, who think differently. You must not only submit: you must approve. You are required to honestly and deeply love Big Brother from the very depths of your soul.

This is the tyranny of the tolerant.

I’m expecting the American flag to be taken down as a sign of racism, next.
After all, the mid-level courts have said yes, it is ok to discipline American kids for wearing an American flag in an American school on Cinco de Mayo because of the sensitivities of the Mexicans.

While we’re at it trying to abolish racism, why don’t the black inner cities get split up. Let’s say no more than 1 per block with others rotten stinking hell hole buildings being filled by other animals. These idiots keep talking about racism, but you always see then in their own pure groups and don’t want any outsiders in. So who are the racists?

The only flag that will be acceptable eventually will be the rainbow hammer and sickle.

Okay, so we can't have the Fleur de Lis on the helmet of a football player. Well, the team is named the "Saints"; so, how about the Cross. Can we put the Cross on the helmet instead?

I know, sarcasm is a low form of wit; but, honestly -- you couldn't make this stuff up.

This is the real life version of "If you give a mouse a cookie". These people are never satisfied. If the fleur de lis was removed from everywhere in Louisiana; the next day another "offensive" symbol would be found that would have to be destroyed.

I do notice, though, that no one ever looks at the little mascot for the Notre Dame football team -- The "Fighting Irish", and says, that depiction of an Irishman is really insulting. No, that one is just fine.
