Where is the picture of Bill Clinton and Al Gore?
Why?Northam should resign.
Resign ? Are you nuts ? What does the flag have to do with resigning ? I'll answer that. NOTHING.This doesn’t look good. Expect calls for
McConnell’s resignation.

Of course, our intellectually lazy media will equate McConnell's posing to receive an award at an SCV event when a Confederate flag happened to be in the background with Northam's posing as a black man with a KKK guy standing beside him. The focus of Northam's photo was his being painted black and standing next to a KKK guy. The focus of McConnell's photo was his receiving an award from an SCV leader, not the Confederate flag that happened to be in the background.
One could fill a large photo album with pictures of Democratic politicians from the early 1900s through the 1960s, including FDR, who posed or spoke in front of the Confederate flag.
Why would someone with a MAGA hat need a "pass" ?Given Trump's birtherism, I don't think anyone with a MAGA hat just gets a free pass. It's not "ancient history." What happened 30-40 years ago .... it cannot tell you what is in someone's heart today. And that goes for everything, from how one treats women (or men), criminal offenses, paying your child care, substance abuse .......

There isn't any CHANGE to the meaningS of the flag, and one of the meanings is that of self-defense of one's homeland. That meaning existed during the Civil War and for every year after it, including 2019, and YOU are not going to change THAT, with YOUR incoherent babbling.So, what I "can't see the difference of is the different things that the Confederate flag represents". Really.
The Confederacy was created for one, and only one, purpose, to keep White supremacy, slavery, the ownership of human beings, and all the unspeakable brutality it entails, alive. Never, ever shall anyone be allowed to rewrite history and change the meaning of that flag, and your incoherent babbling sure doesn't. Gawd knows it's long past time these mendacious dinosaurs die out, and the world will be better off for it.
fun historical factPart of what should be ashamed of, was the Union invading many areas of the South, that had no slavery, and never even heard of the Confederacy. It was similar to US troops invading backward areas of South Vietnam, whose people never heard of the USA, much less ever attacked or threatened us.It's history. It happened. It was one of our most shameful periods. We should be ashamed of it. Not celebrate it.
Exactly where would that be?
US Grant was the last POTUS confirmed to have owned slaves
All the mountain areas of the south. Parts of Virginia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia.Exactly where would that be?
I sense you are misunderstanding me, because your post seems to make no sense, and I'm not "mistaken" about anything. Cotton and tobacco were grown in the coastal plain areas of the South, not in the mountain areas. Southern mountain people know nothing of slavery.The part of Virginia with no slavery became West Virginia. As for other areas, you are sadly mistaken as to their importance.
Wrong.It's history, it happened. Learn from it, don't try to erase it.Looks like provocation to me.Sure, the Confederacy was a slave colony with about 80 % of the population being blacks. But I guess, it´s today´s meaning is different from what it was back then. It´s the rebel yell and so on. Most people do not have slavery in mind when they put their stickers on the cycles but the exact opposite.
Actually, it's the same thing, keeping the darkies in their place.
Stick to regurgitating the Syrian Propaganda line, you sound less retarded.
Since you tend to have a weakness for assassinations of elected Presidents, will you be after Maduro, soon?
Already refuted by Post # 133. Ho hum. Yawn*****Wrong.
It’s meant to intimidate minorities, show contempt for civil rights, and appease white conservatives who have an unwarranted fear of change.
Your question was directed at someone else, why would I answer that when I never made the assertion?fun historical factPart of what should be ashamed of, was the Union invading many areas of the South, that had no slavery, and never even heard of the Confederacy.

I already knew that. What does that have to do with my question?
