Is the cross the next target of liberals and blacks ?

[Uncensored2008]

Right Wing Christians have used the burning cross to inspire fear and terror. But there are good Christians. However, many right wingers in this country have warped that religion into something unrecognizable. In this country, when you think of right wing Christians, you think of discrimination, hate, violence, let hem die, feed the poor and they will breed, cutting school lunches for poor children and so on. If they truly believe in Jesus, they will have a lot of explaining to do.

Actually, that would be democrats who burned crosses, you lying pile of shit.

The cross is a racist type symbol. 'If not Christian you need to convert' defines Christianity.

Is that what you tell all the Goyim, sploogy?

1 Samuel 15:3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.

So you hate Jews then, edtheliar?

No real surprise - you're a democrat, and the party hates Jews.

First off, yes I realize the Confederate flag issue has mostly to do with the location of where it is flown. The flag will still be flown on private property.
But let's face it, the very sight of it regardless of the location is frowned upon, and eventually due to pressure, it will completely disappear.

So what about the cross ? It's not supposed to be displayed on publicly owned spaces, government buildings, etc.

However, since the cross has a long history of being used to terrorize blacks, and is used as a symbol of the KKK, are we now headed for the day where the cross itself will be viewed as a racist symbol, and there will be calls for it to not be seen anywhere in public ?

Might sound ridiculous, but we all know how the left feels about Christianity, and they could use the racial aspect of this to rid the American landscape of this classic Christian symbol.

"Might sound ridiculous" Congrats on the largest possible understatement. Utterly ridiculous. Especially considering that African Americans are far more religious than white Americans, attend church in greater numbers and have proven to be better Christian than many of their white brethren.

Many blacks are Christian, and regularly attend church, no doubt about it. However between secular blacks, and white liberals, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised that once the issue with the Confederate flag has been won, the focus could easily become the cross since it too can be seen as a symbol white superiority.

If the flag is seen as a symbol of slavery and white power, how can the cross be ignored when you consider how it was once used against blacks ?

Absolute idiocy. No one has suggested that the cross is a symbol of racism and should be banned. You are talking nonsense.

The history of crosses burning in the yards of a person of color is new to you ?

Burning crosses are a symbol of racism; crosses that are not burning are not. Did you happen to see the cross on top of the AME church where the racist killed those people? Or the one inside the Church?

Supporters of the flag, say the Confederate flag also has representation other than slavery.

So, you would equate someone who would fly an American flag with someone who would burn one. You see no difference between the two. And, by the way, the confederate battle flag stands for two things: treason and racist resistance to federal laws regarding integration and civil rights.

Actually - it would be democrats, as you full well know.

You lying does not alter reality - regardless of what your messiah of hate George Soros tells you.

This is obviously the next straw man fallacy from the right.

That and the American flag.
Their MessiahRushie is telling the DittoNazis that the American flag is next.
He says that is because just looking at the US flag for an instant turns you into a racist, er.... er.... Republican for 8 months, so Libs will ban it next.

I would suggest that they are underestimating the American people, then I read comments like those from DigitalDrifter and realize that there are really stupid Americans who actually would buy such nonsense.

I doubt the African American Episcopal Methodist church comes out against the cross.

I looked it up, and American history is taught in 6th grade.

Since you have zero knowledge of American history, I can assume you didn't quite make it that far in your education?

Integration and civil rights? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

What a fucking moron.

How about the donkey that burning cross rode in on?

Seems that 6th grade is about as far as you went. Probably kicked you out then cause they thought a 19 year old seventh grader would be too weird for the normal kids.

Every map with intersections would have to go.

Pretty absurd.

Thats why they prefer traffic circles

The problem is stupid, that the issue was the admittance of new slave states. It had absolutely nothing to do with civil rights and sure the fuck not with integration. The failure of the Missouri Compromise was the proximate cause of the tensions.

You are an ignorant dolt spewing idiocy because you think it will further the political goals of your party.

In fact, it merely reveals you to be an uneducated fool.

You can clearly see the donkey crossing his front leggs, either hes making the sign of the cross there or hes making a gang sign. either way, I think they need to clean up their image there

Majority of Blacks in America are Christian, or at least they were a few years ago, I would think it awfully hard to go after the cross as a racist symbol, unless it is only banned for white Christians and not the black ones who also use the symbol

KKK is firmly behind the GOP now

Study: The KKK helped Republicans win the South - Vox
In 1960, the American South mostly voted for Democratic candidates and was solidly Democratic at the congressional level. By 2000, it was solidly Republican in presidential politics and mostly Republican at the congressional level. The transformation, clearly, had something to do with race and the Civil Rights Movement. But aprovocative new papersuggests that Ku Klux Klan activity — as opposed to the broader phenomenon of racism — played a small but meaningful role in the process. Counties with more Klan activity saw a more dramatic shift toward the GOP, a shift that stands up to a range of reasonable statistical controls and suggests that the Klan was really a difference maker.
