I'm referring to racial hatred passed down from generations...
nothing political about that. Go spend a few weeks in the south,
(not in the big cities) and you will understand.


ya can't cure stupid....even with legislated laws.
and stupid is a fact of life.

btw....ebay, amazon and walmart said that the sale of confederate flags are flying off the shelves with folks buying them.
sooooooooooo....you can still fly one on you own personal property and on your car, truck or motorcycle....yes?

LMAO!  No one is trying to outlaw personal expression.  You are still free in this country to be
a toothless, drunk, woman hating, confederate flag waving, racist redneck.

It will surely get you libeled by institutions like the SPLC by publicly accusing anybody or organization flying the confederate flag as being racist.  And you will most likely get put on a government watch list as a potential domestic terrorist.  

You can express yourself at the expense of likely defamation and government surveillance.

It's funny... I never heard of Saul Alinski until I read his name on Right Winger Sites.
Still don't know who he is!  
But Bumbler seems to be an avid fan!

I'm glad that Bumbler agrees that a flag can be a symbol of racism!

The white house was built by slaves, but it is not a symbol of slavery (except maybe for you).
A very few consider the white house a symbol of slavery...
On the other hand, the Rebel flag is, by most Americans, a symbol of racism and slavery.

Glad I could straighten this out for you.

Alabama Dumps The Racist Rag

On the order of Gov. Robert Bentley, the Confederate battle flag which stands at the foot of the
confederate memorial on the state Capitol grounds was taken down this morning,” the Birmingham
News reports.

“Two workers came out of the Capitol building about 8:20 a.m. and with no fanfare quickly and quietly
took the flag down. They declined to answer questions.”

The confederate flag has been a issue for years and pops up every couple of years under a new direction of attack. not that I care for it but its funny seeing some like to erase history by trying to eliminate its viewing. It reminds me of how some groups and nations praise holocaust remembrance but at the same time want to ban all Nazi memorabilia

I don't want to eliminate the Confederate flag.  It belongs in a museum or collections just like
German Swastikas.
No one is banning them.  No one is prohibiting them in a private home or private club.  But to
fly that banner in a government building, denotes government support of the banner and it's
meaning.
Just as I oppose Christian nativity scenes on Govt grounds, I oppose these racist banners on
Govt lands.

What exactly is "it's meaning"?  You seem to hold the universal meaning of the confederate battle flag.  

The shame caused to the  flag you fought under during Vietnam is far worse symbolism than the symbolism of a flag fought under for secession from a voluntary Union.  The American flag symbolizes killing brown and yellow people for profit.
