Really? Because you do know that you started a thread on a public forum, correct? Where the entire point is discussion? If you don't wish to discuss, then why are you here and why do you continue to post? You do want to discuss. You merely want me to leave you alone. You could just ask rather than to disingenuously tell me that you don't want a discussion. Go ahead and ask.

And you think he should he should be able to fly it in place of the flag that 6300 New Jersey Union soldiers died to defend? No way. It needed to come down. Maybe not placed in the garbage, but whatever.
The War of Northern Aggression resulted because Lincoln would not allow secession. He forced the Souths hand.

It's a mystery why anyone flies it.

If you read closely, you will realize that I did not advocate theft or destruction of private property.

Nor is it merely "my belief" that the Confederate flag is the flag of traitors and losers. Confederates actually were traitors and losers.

They took up arms against the U.S. government -- traitors.

They lost the war they started -- losers.

Why anyone wants to fly the flag of traitors and losers is a mystery. Why not just have "nitwit" tattooed on the forehead?

I didn't need to be run away, I left with a smile on my face and pep in my step. Why would I want to stay in a place that's overrun with the crime and **** that your people bring to any area they invade? Hell even you had to look outside of your own community to be happy, I don't blame you though.

Sorry, I'm not going to play your "all White people are disconnected individuals" game. Especially as you consistently voice Black Nationalist opinions here. I'm familair with this specific tactic of yours, as you frequently and mostly unsuccessfully attempt to rely on it in discussions.

My people mostly invented those weapons and my people freed yours at a great price.

But the primary point is found in the post that the above quote was responding to. Reality is so counter-factual to your taunts that its pretty obvious that you are just playing a game. The majority will throw and have always thrown more than grapes.

Your original post not only applauded this blatant violation of property rights, but advocated replacing it with the U.S. flag. I, as a direct descendent (documented) of Native people, simply turned around your argument and made the point that the U.S. flag represents the same to Indians as the CSA battle flag does to many blacks.

I'm mostly white, sure. But you're not 100% African.

Okay. LMAO...even if I wasn’t, why is that hurting your feeling so much?
It's not. In fact, one of the posters here (begins with the letter "g") is convinced I'M black and won't believe otherwise.

Yep. And he jailed journalists.

And shut down newspapers.

And suspended habeas corpus.

And arrested Maryland's entire legislature.

And drafted an army without Congress.
