People are so sensitive. I don't care one bit about the Confederate flag. What does bother me is people that get offended constantly. Grow up. I can't stand this politically correct culture.
It's too bad, since it really did at one time mean something positive.
I think we've hit a tipping point on this one. It's too bad, since it really did at one time mean something positive. Then, during the civil rights era, it was adopted by racists as a rallying point for hatred and segregation.
Pretty much like the swastika, which also once had a positive connotation.
When did the Confederate Flag ever mean something positive?
It has always stood for treason...
No one has told the truth to the blacks even yet I fear.

The Confederate Battle Flag was the symbol followed by those who felt that they owed loyalty to their state above that of the United States. Wrong, yes, but well-intentioned.
I see nothing to be gained in denying the patriotism and character of those men. I don't believe in judging people from the past, by our present standards.
The point is, whatever good was symbolized by that flag has been hidden by the evil motives of those who made it a symbol of racism.
It has always stood for treason, slavery, and racial hatred.

And you seem to have made G head speechless by the look of his post quoting yours, oh never mind he fixed it.
Really glad their bravery and dying isn't despised.
Now that their flag is gone from Walmart we will have to depend on the music that says the N word being sold there to remind us of what silly hypocrites people can be... If blacks can sell music with horrid name calling all is ok cuz if you cleaned up and got rid of the N word, a true term of racism, then blacks would have their music pulled, they would go broke or have trouble laundering drug money and my President would sound like a taunting hypocrite
Do you even listen to yourself?
And if our economics remains bad or gets worse -- one day someone will be stupid enough to say the real problem with plantations is they weren't like sweat shops.
So I am just saying the slave owners were told by the Bible to be good and patient and kind - just like husbands are told to be to their wives.
And in reality, they should not have wanted any underfed, malnourished or overworked or broken people - not because the offspring would kick your arses in basketball and football - but because unfortunately they thought they owned them so they had to care for them in ways employers never have to. Now the government gets to own in some ways...

So again you don't really think about why many blacks here make blacks from other countries look fragile?You're an abomination.

You weren't aware of the things some were saying about Michelle when shown in shots standing next to her slightly built husband?
She looked so healthy and inherently strong compared to him some evilly said she looked like a guy.
Which is wrong. It looked like at least three generations of good nutrition - and YOU ARE THE ONE WHO OPENED THE DOOR ABOUT BODY SIZE.
