Again, get it through your head. That photo shows the few Blacks that would fly a Confederate flag. A majority of Blacks do not identify with the Confederate flag. That photo does not negate what I have said. And this applies north of Tennessee and south of Tennessee.
Why do you insist on promoting photos of Black people identifying with the Confederate flag?
Why do blacks take a more unfavorable view of the confederate flag? Maybe because it was flown by soldiers who were fighting to keep them in bondage in perpetuity.
Why aren’t they offended by the Democratic Party? They also fought to keep blacks in bondage. FACT.
The slave trade was banned in 1807. Not one of those documents you like so well, reinstates it. So what was the expansion all about, really?
That's kind of an irrelevant strawman argument given that in the context, the institution and practice of slavery wasn't banned in the USA and it took a bloody conflict to eliminate it.

Puhleez. You're not getting anywhere with this.
And this is why I called that point out. Not re-instating the slave trade doesn't negate that slavery would have been protected in the Confederate constitution. The fact that a war got started shows how important slavery was to the former Confederate states.
Seeing as how all you want to discuss is the one-sided views. It seems we are done here. To be honest, this thread was done as soon as it began with your determination not to accept the others points of view on this issue. You are not wrong GM, but you are not 100% right either. I suspect you know that, you just don't want to recognize it.
Naw, you're just trying to be contrarian, but you're getting all of your views smacked down based on the merit or logic of your arguments.

Why do you have a destain for minorities thinking for themselves?
You should have that same attitude for the party of Slavery, Jim Crow and Segregation.

I don't. However, based on that comment, you assume that if Black people don't like the Confederate flag, they aren't thinking for themselves. That reveals that you are the one with a problem. You bring up the few Black people who do identify with the Confederate flag. When I let you know that those are tokens and it doesn't represent how the majority of Black Americans feel about it, you then say, in a roundabout way, that most Blacks don't think for themselves. You didn't say it word for word, but I read in between the lines. You ask "why do you have a DISDAIN for minorities thinking for themselves?". You ask that as to make the assumption that most minorities don't.
I'll be blunt. Black people who don't like the Confederate flag ARE thinking for themselves. They are just thinking in a way that you don't like.
By the way, if you are going to bring political parties into this, you should just stop commenting right now. No one is buying into your red herrings.

Don't do that. You're going to make that poster have to think.
