You have it 180 degrees backward.
The confederate flag is the flag of FREEDOM and of the Republic, the US flag is the flag of oppression (federal government oppression).
Against being forced to free their slaves from their oppression.
Sorry, the South was oppressing their slaves. The North was who freed them.
Good to see you side with leftists, Obama and all the other race baiting agitators. I think Jim needs to have another zot fest. But that is just my opinion.
A simple acknowledgement of history in this case isn’t Leftist. You want to be pro-slavery, go ahead. I’m not.
I’ll bet it was safer to be a young black man in the antebellum south than to grow up in contemporary Baltimore. I’ll be the black on black crime rate was about zero in the antebellum south.
Yep—go ahead and enjoy your pro-slavery nostalgia.
Listen you can call me a slaver which is ridiculous but you are slave to populist leftist thinking. I don’t know how you slipped in under the radar but a zot fest is in order. May you ride the lightening soon.
We are not even close to being a people.
I think you don't know your history. Where did you get the idea that they were going to be forced to free their slaves?
“At’s tellin’ ‘em General!
I’m sure a fine, upstanding guy like you has some nice words to say about being a people. Definitely more than 13 words. Likely less than 15. Somewhere in the middle.
I’ll bet you could also even summarize your thoughts on the subject into a nice handy saying. No, no, saying’s not the right word. More like a...mantra?
Maybe some precepts, too.
Amiright or amiright?
Did you ever consider that statements such as you made are part of the problem?
Tell me concerning the original posted article, do you think SC should take down its flags that are based on the Confederate battle flag? How about the Mississippi state flag?
crickets
Yes sir I do General. Ain’t but one flag— The Stars And Stripes, Old Glory.
How many state flags have some kind of cross? A bunch of ‘em. Christian supremacists I say. Ban them all!
Wow. That’s incredible. Would you have wanted to be a black male in the antebellum South General?
I don’t think Altura Ct. cares one lick whether he is part of the problem or solution. He is a thinly-veiled (very thinly) Stormfront troll. Posting history is crystal clear.
The slave trade placed a dollar value on prisoners of war captured in tribal conflicts in Africa. If those slaves hadn’t had “value” they would of just been slaughtered as they are today.
Yes some slaves were mistreated, the same as some pets are mistreated today (dog fighting, horrible beatings ect.), but by no means was it the norm.
