Think about what the leftist handwringers and crybabies are getting their panties in a wad about...a piece of cloth.

Keep telling yourself that.

This type of ignorance is the reason why this country becomes more and more divide everyday. I simply find it funny that through this awful tragedy in S.C., people have turned their attention on the confederate flag, and away from supporting the victims' families who need our thoughts, prayers, love, and support. Instead, YOU people want to argue about a piece of cloth. Guess what? The KKK carries the American flag during their march and rallies. Quite often, they hold that flag up higher than the confederate flag. People who are not educated enough in history look at the confederate flag as a symbol of racism. People who are not educated enough in history who use the confederate flag as a symbol of racism. Both are ignorant people who deserve each other.

I did no such thing. I commented on the idea that you don't seem to know the difference in a government building and a museum.

I simply noted that I could understand why the flag flying on a government building could make someone uncomfortable.

Louis "2 Fries Short of a Happy Meal" Farrakhan went off an a tangent today in SC. Another uniter of the people!

Quote:
“White folks march with you because they don’t want you upsetting the city,” he said in reference to protesting against the South Carolina shootings.
Quote:
Farrakhan also attacked the American flag, saying “What the hell is the use of us paying allegiance to a flag under which we get no justice?”

Louis Farrahkhan pretends to be a Muslim, but never forget why Malcolm X was executed. It was because he tried to bring true Islam to black Americans following his trip to Mecca, and the black supremacists like Elijah Muhammad didn't like his acceptance of Islam being multi-cultural and multi-racial. Why do you think that leftists today embrace Islam? They have no principles, except for power and control.

I haven't seen too many leftist carry on over this, judging by the CD posts on this issue it looks like those on the complete opposite side of that spectrum are having a tough time losing their precious symbol of everything that is 'white and right'

I think dumb racism is when you have dumb whites wanting to have a "black and white" understanding that whites are smarter even if they're the dumber.

I think that dumb whites want to use force and control over blacks as a means of settling the IQ question.
I hope you have better authority than Charles Manson. I doubt you do. And I don't consider Charles Manson a great thinker or philosopher.

Couldn't agree more. Leftists want to lord it over on everyone on issues such as "climate change" for the same reason. They want to tell others what to do even though they can't run their own lives.

Default The Authoritarian Disease

"3. They take their anger out on someone safe. In an authoritarian environment (family, religion, school, peer group, government), the compliant, subservient, unquestioning follower stores up unexpressed anger at the authority. The hostility can’t be expressed towards the authority, however, so it is displaced to an outsider who is different – a scapegoat."
