Breaking: Charleston SC, white male shoots 8 people at Souths oldest black church

[Correll]

And in 1920 the swastika was still largely a religious symbol.

The confederate flag is a symbol of racism and hate. Whether it started out that way or was portrayed that way in a 70s sitcom is irrelevant.

People all over the nation today see it as a symbol of hate and racism.

the 1920s was before wwii.

the 1980s were after the civil war and the era of desegregation.

the confederate flag was accepted for generations, upto and past the 1980s as a harmless symbol of southern regional pride.

Hmmm.........

nothing in those posts contradicts my statements.

if you have a point to make, use words.

Do you honestly believe the Dukes of Hazard defense for the flag being flown at the statehouse is adequate given it's other uses?
You are ridiculous.

my question for CORRELL please answer "yes" or "no" or "MYOB" ---
if put to a vote-----how would you vote---
on "confederate flag flown in front of
my state capitol building"

i don't know what state you are in.

it would look a little silly in front of the state house of alaska

virgina? not so much.

Does it matter? That is what the flag represents.

says you.

Correll what do you think a national poll result would be on>>>> Do you see the
confederate flag as a positive symbol for
the people of the USA? or for the people
of the SOUTH USA?

after decades of lib propaganda? i don't know.

i do know that the america i grew up in, in the north, would not have a problem with it, as demonstrated by the great success of the dukes of hazzard tv show.

some southern guy, in 1980 driving into my rust belt city with a confederate flag on his pickup truck, would not be commented on.

today? i don't know if he would make it out alive.


so, who is the haters? who is intolerant?

I agree with you ----I wondered in what state and when all that KKK stuff was going on.

All over. Everywhere.
I remember as a child clan gatherings all the time on tv at courthouses that always had the confederate flag.

a flag on a pick-up is NOT the same as a flag in front of the CAPITOL BUILDING. I grew up in the NORTH-----in a town so
NAZI back then -----that a confederate flag
would probably be applauded ----ON A PICK UP TRUCK ----but it would not be allowed
in front of the Municipal building. Most of the state was yankee-----and the Nazis were
all republicans----democrat was considered
subversive.---------Mc Carthy was a hero
(not in my house-----my parent were hardcore unionist democrats and Eugene debs was a hero and McCarthy was a nut)

as my state is not southern i think the confederate flag would look dumb over out state house.

but i would be fine with southern states celebrating their pride in the regional culture as such.

you do not deny that the southern pick up driver might be killed today.

so, who is the intolerant haters?

he wasn't a kid. he was a 21 year old man.

and it isn't drugs. it's the racial hatred that is engrained in some people from birth.

Stewart ripped those who suggest this is one person who lost his mind rather than the product of that “gaping racial wound.”

"In South Carolina, the roads that black people drive on are named for Confederate generals who fought to keep black people from being able to drive freely on that road," he said. "The Confederate flag flies over South Carolina, and the roads are named for Confederate generals. And the white guy’s the one who feels like his country’s being taken away from him.”

His parents were almost certainly racists too. They raised him to do this and gave him the fucking gun. His friends heard him say he was going to it. They all need to be held accountable for their part in this.
