Hey, shuck, stainless, et al: How many of you are members of this silly "He-Man ******-Haters' Club"?

[SouthernFreebird]

I wouldn't doubt that the naacp paid DD to go out and do this just to make it appear to be a KKK issue.

The Cnfererate flag doesn't represent the KKK or whatever they call themselves now days.

Ah, but THEY say it does! You gonna go and take it away from them? H*ll, boy, they was wavin' that flag around before you was a gleam in your daddy's eye!

Them KKK pinheads are wimps.

Some years ago there was a local chapter of the kkkoneheads in my hometown. (I was elsewhere, in the Corps).

The Boy Scouts of America purchased a bankrupt swimming pool. They then made it a training ground for boy scouts, including Black boy scouts.

The KKKoneheads ran off (intimidated) the local boy scout lifeguards. The whole operation was about to be shut down.

My father heard about this. He told my brothers "Lads, you now have summer jobs."

A representative of the kkkoneheads came around to remonstrate with my father.

He heard the bigot out and then said;

My boys will work at that pool all summer.

If you want to plant a burning cross on my lawn I will light it with my shotgun.

And if a hair of my boy's head is touched I will wipe you out.

My family never heard from the KKK again.

And the local chapter of pinhead degenerates has been out of business for more than 20 years.

They do seem a cowardly lot. I guess it's the hoods that first tipped me off to that fact.

Of course, cowards like masks.

You implied you thought differently about 4 posts up. Or maybe you just thought I was an easy target seeing as I'm Southern and support the flying of the Confederate flag.

[TexConfederate1861]

The Klan didn't start using a Confederate Flag until the 1960's......

So your assumption is WRONG....

[Illbay]

I don't care if you fly it or not. Just don't try to tell anyone it wasn't about racism, because it was.

FWIW, I support the right of anyone to free expression as long as it doesn't harm others.

[Illbay]

You need to see "Birth of a Nation." It comes on the History Channel and sometimes AMC late at night. Catch it if you can. Lots of Klan, lots of Confederate flags.

And FWIW, the Confederacy was just the Klan without the masks.

[PJeffQ]

So I guess we can't wave the Christian flag or the American flag since the KKK uses those too?

Illbay, what did the Klan fly before the 1960s? Why not show us some of the earliest images circa 1870s like the one with the Klansman carrying the US flag, or maybe some of the meetings these racists had in the 20s and 30s in places like Wahington and Boston with the US flag flying high? Any racist views we might have had were only further enforced by yankees coming down here and establishing their racist attitudes like they had before, during, and after the War up north. Tell us about the Black Codes in the north.

But I have to thank you really. The more you post your lies, it gives Southerners another opportunity to get the truth out to the masses

[billbears]

Eugene Bryant, the Mississippi president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, told about 40 anti-flag protesters the debate should move to the negotiating table. "We would rather negotiate than demonstrate," he said.

This is exactly what the racist NAACP wants to do, negotiate. As if they have any moral or lawful ground to stand on has already been assumed by those educated in government propaganda centers we call public education. This is exactly how they took down the Southern banner in SC and began the push in GA. I would highly recommend to my Southern brethren in MS not to give one inch, not to even consider negotiation because if they do, then the racist NAACP has already won

[Illbay]

Watch "Birth of a Nation." The Klan used the Confederate flag there.

Oh, and billbears: Who was the founder of the Klan? (Extra points if you actually tell the truth).

[Hacksaw]

Keep it up! I (as a former history B.A.) have the Navy Jack hanging in my bedroom. We can not let our own Taliban destroy American history. Isn't it ironic that no-one cared at all about the Navy Jack for so long, but all of a sudden it is racist? It sems that the groups protesting it would rather have a distracting issue that actually helping their members.

[Hacksaw]

I don't care if you fly it or not. Just don't try to tell anyone it wasn't about racism, because it was.

Slavery was part of it, but there was a hell of a lot more involved. Slavery would never have lasted in the CSA anyway - too many people were against it. In fact, that was the main reason England did not give the South aid.

[billbears]

We all know who one of the founders was, however one thing yankees absolutely REFUSE to admit is that he asked the Klan to disband because of its views and direction of which Forrest did not agree with. Isn't that so Illbay? If your opinion was correct, then how are we supposed to praise abe when the territories were meant for 'white settlers'(Kansas-Nebraska speech) or his plan of shipping all blacks, slave AND free, to Liberia

And if you're getting your truth from movies made in 1915 versus the actual statements and actions of the men that were involved in the destruction of the South, I can't say there's much help for you. You're already living in fantasylan
