You insult blacks by saying that they are incapable of getting voter ID's so that we can keep illegal aliens from voting. You insult them again by opposing party affiliation being taking off of ballots because you fear that if they didn't see the (D) they wouldn't know what to do. Those are all very racist attitudes, so don't give me this nonsense that the Dems are pure and "not wacist". It was Lyndon Johnson who said, "I will have those ******s voting democrat for the next 200 years". This was 8 years after he opposed the original Civil Rights act sponsored by Republicans. You guys prove that you have always been the party of racism every day.
Need. More. Straw.

But I will note that you posted this thread without bothering to find out when the photo was posted. We know what you think if it was after, idiotic as your opinion is, but would you be singing a different tune if it had been before? Be honest.
Yes. This entire thing has been blown way out of proportion. The focus hasn't been on the victims for days - it's all about the flag. You know, Charles Manson wanted to start a race war too. We wrote him off as the nut he is. Why is this different?

they been looking for a reason to complain about the flag, no not the black community, this is something bigger, the media been waiting in the wings and somebody told them to react. its never been about the flag, this is something that leading to something else. havent anybody notice, no riots, no sit ins, no violence on the flag, just the media, that all. and the flag they complain about 300 miles from charleston, wasnt even on the capitol but a csa monument couple hundred feet away.

there something else going on.

The argument is legit but he likely could have arrested a black man, handcuffed him, beat the crap out of him and kept his job.

They have a right to post whatever dumbass **** they want but I as an employer have the right to fire your ass if it in anyway impacts my company or business that I don't like.

You have your freedom and I have mine.
Yep, just like an employer has the same right to fire anyone that has a rainbow flag or Islamic Crescent sticker on their car.

One has to wonder why those of low intellect, those of low education are the ones drifting to such things.
You're absolutely correct. There's an awfully large amount of racism seeping from the black community.

He posted it after the massacre.

North Charleston Sgt. Shannon Dildine Fired for Wearing Confederate Flag Boxer Shorts - ABC News

Police Chief Driggers... letter slammed Dildine for significantly undermining "your ability to improve trust and instill confidence when working with our citizens."

It also said that the move undermined the sergeant's ability to handle criminal cases in which minorities were involved "since defense counsel can reasonably be expected to use the photograph to call into question the [sic] your motivation in making the arrest..."

While Driggers says that "some say the flag emblem may have different meanings to different people," he writes that "your personal beliefs are irrelevant to the City's decision to terminate your employment.

"In light of current events posting an inflammatory photograph in a way that permitted it to become widely distributed shows a lack of reason or judgment that is unacceptable," the letter says.
