My son went into a convenience store the other day wearing a cap with a Tennessee state flag on the front of it, and the black clerk told him it was racist and to take it off or leave the store.
I think its the north that wants to keep fighting the Civil War. They aren't content with just winning.
Pretty strange transition. It's hard not to draw the conclusion that you don't want to accept that a lot of people in the South aren't that enthusiastic about Confederate mythology and symbols.
that is untrue at least amongst whites and any hesitation a few libs might have is because they have been browbeaten by the same forces at play here
i hope you are happy but meanwhile black culture just gets worse and is taking white trash with it X...some progress ...just like all that other "racial healing" I've been dealing with for nearly 50 years now as things get more screwed up and dangerous for my kindand worse our head in the sand views on race have crippled us on every other major issue facing us now
but by all means...just like President Bro...let's worry about Southern symbols and how they have become so offensive and ignore illegitimacy, black corruption and crime and so forth.
you guys do what you do here because you like the getback, it kills you that southern whites are the backbone of social conservatism and it detracts from the real issues and I think some...maybe not you...enjoy calling folks here racist
now what sort of conservative goes to a right wing site to live to smear folks as bigot or racist?
you tell me....I already know why and gave my two bits earlier...ya
man if folks ever throw off the yoke of racial redress in our culture than "we will indeed be free at last...good God almighty free at last"
till then it's no better than a poll tax and nightriders with lawyers
You speak of “Confederate mythology and symbols.”
Do you also speak of “American mythology and symbols?”
They are one and the same.
From the article:
And here you are, my spiritually impoverished progeny, 300 years after the first war in which we fought and died that you might be free from a tyrannical central government, and almost 200 years after another great and terrible war, the worst imaginable, in which we fought our brothers and died for the very same cause. You have now willingly disgraced not just this cause – which might have been understandable given the terrible complexity of the time – but you have also disgraced almost every vestige of our memory, corrupting even the flags on our graves.
The degree to which you are now indebted to, and dependent on, your federal government is a most bitter reminder of our failure. But you have failed in a deeper sense. You, like many Americans, have in your ignorance abetted in the practical destruction our founders’ Constitution. Having surrendered liberty, you are no longer entitled to its blessings. So please do not speak of slavery. You have stripped yourself of your knowledge, pride and heritage. You have shamed and prostrated yourself, and, to no small degree, it is you who are now enslaved.
