What's the (real) excuse for this one?

[Rongar]

totally! headgear is really the #1 expression of one's innermost negative self.

So what's negative, when I wear my chef's hat; my topper; my bowler; my pith helmet; my lampshade; my block of ice? (not all of once, of course)

[Arctic Blast]

Perhaps I should say that everyone on Staten Island is affiliated with the Mafia? Or that all Bronx residents are crack cocaine users, pimps, and murderers? Or maybe I could just characterize Brooklynites as uneducated recent immigrants who can't even speak proper English?

Holy ****! John Rocker posts here!

lol, no he would be mentioning the subways

[chuckwillard]

Hey, I actually like the subways. I wish we could get one put in here in Richmond, then I wouldn't burn $40 a week in gas just commuting to work.

..And you probably think anyone who owns, flies, or even tolerates the Confederate Flag is a closet member of the KKK.

I dont but ill tall u this... those that do fly it should be shot on the spot. It stood for slavery I dont care what ANYONE says about it.

[HoustonGM]

So, those that practice freedom of expression deserve to be shot?

[RickD]

Wow! Uhmm..........Wow....Well there will soon be a lot of dead rednecks if TheNamelessPoet has his way. In TN nearly Everyone I knew had a Confederate Flag symbol on something!

It does not stand for slavery, it stands for a people who tried to seperate from america. Some of those people supported slavery, but look at robert Lee, who hated slavery but fought for the south because it was his home land. People fly the Confederate banner to honor their ancestors who lived in or served for the south.

I would recommend some people read a history book every now and then.

[RedsoxRockies]

is that comment directed at me?

[chuckwillard]

But if they do read a history book, it might challenge the view they've been indoctrinated with their whole life by the schools, the media, and AlJesse SharptonJackson.

Besides, think of all the political agitators and victim ideologues who would be out of a job if people actually realized how little racism there really is.

And then people would actually have to take responsibility for their own actions rather than blaming <insert scapegoat here> for their crimes/drug use/refusal to be a father...

Besides, do you know how many slaves were brought to America under the Confederate Flag? If you guessed zero, your right.

Do you know how many slaves were brought to America under the flag of the United States? Every single one that arrived after 1776.

Do you know what the first nation on earth to have a Constitutional Provision banning the importation of slaves was? The Confederate States of America.

Tolerance, according to the left: Everybody has a right to do anything they want, unless we don't like it.

Actually I believe England banned importation of slaves in the 1840's or '20's, before the Confederate was even founded. They would have ships sail off the shore of Africa and intercept slave ships

Here's a good read on the history of the flag:
