Watch: 9th Grader Physically Attacked By Numerous Classmates For Confederate Flag Shirt

the school bans a student from displaying the confederate flag because it is offensive then that same consideration needs to apply to kneeling during the national anthem because that is to many just as offensive

 

Democracy can only exist until people realize they can get their hands on the treasury indirectly. After that realization people vote for the candidate promising the most freebies, the most something for nothing.

This is, of course, very bad citizenship that puts the whole society at risk.

 

Another demonstration of non violent liberal tolerance while rationalizing assault because "offended". Yay you.

 

so then do I get to punch people that kneel during the national anthem or burn the American flag because I find that just as offensive as wearing a confederate flag

 

but a confederate flag is not directly with words related to putting other like blacks down, like the noted statement above

 

imo, use intelligence and pick something important to go to battle over, more important than mere symbols -- unless the field is already filled with combat under symbols.

You should be able to gain by your actions.

A stray symbol displayed by stupid people here and there is not significant.

 

not if they cold sucker c0*ked them like the white student was

 

when i was in 9th grade how come i didn't and many others i knew didn't either..

 

A Christian will be undisturbed by such things.

But not all people in bars are Christians, and some if those folks might be disturbed by the general nihilism of such things.

Somebody could get hurt.

 

Really, does that flag represent your ancestors being enslaved and treated as property for generations? They are protesting brutality against African Americans by police, but if you want to embarrass yourself you act like a child and go do that.

 

The thing that's interesting about this thread is all the liberals defending this beat down. If this was reversed and white kids beat on a black kid wearing a MalcomX shirt all of us conservatives would unequivocally condemn it.

 

If that's all that flag represents to you then you are grossly uninformed.

 

That's all the flag represents to African Americans in this country, and the failure of many revisionist Conservatives to ignore and deny that reality get a them into dangerous situations.

How about you tell us what the flag means to you, and then I can help you add a more rounded historical perspective, which doesnt just look at history in an ethnocentric way.

 

Why does the left always insist on equating the Confederate States of America with Nazi Germany?

 

If slavery is all the flag means to African Americans it is understandable but not an excuse to beat up a kid displying that flag.

 

Ahhhh that was under the flag of the United States the 80 years before the war, durng the war and after the war.

And who brought that slavery to the Americas?

Scotland and the slave trade

The role played by Scots in the slave trade and in its abolition has only recently been recognised. We hold both printed and manuscript resources recording Scotland's links with slavery. These include:

Papers of Scottish planters and sugar merchants
Information about enslaved people working in Scotland
First-hand accounts of the voyages of slave ships
Printed and manuscript material about the abolition and emancipation movements.

Don't confuse him with facts

 

Ok thanks .I didn't know their were blacks in India. Are you a Sikh or a Hindu or are they the same?
People from India are usually kind and unlike many other immigrants they also seek education.

 

I see your education is a northern indoctrination type of half truths and out right lies.
No wonder you people are so full of hate for southern whites. I bet you also adore Oprah and her radical followers.

 

The Civil Was the poor and the immigrant fighting for the powerful, for the slave owners and for the interests in the North that depend on Southern agricultural surpluses. I see nothing to romanticize about, there are victims all around that should be remembered, and if these people here would actually learn the history of most whites under this system, they suffered tremendously and were often treated with near racist scorn. A good couple of books I recommend to everyone who wants to know more contemporary history of this time, I recommend White Trash: The 400 Year Untold Story of Class in America, and Empire of Cotton: A Global History. You need to properly contextualize what was happening in the world and what the South really represented historically.

I'm not asking people to forget the history or to act like these people weren't their ancestors in some of these cases. But what you should be doing is learning from your ancestors, trying to understand the times they lived in and how they behaved themselves. That can often be a key to figuring out some of your own problems psychologically, but it also reveals the humanity in the past. I don't think humanity's brutality such as it was expressed in the Civil War and in the institution of slavery should be romanticized one bit. Nearly every representative society in history was built on the backs of conquered slaves, their humanity and contributions need to be acknowledged and there needs to be healing. Instead, the South has tried ever since to continue to oppression African Americans. I lived there in the South and saw it for myself, and I saw the backlash it produced. Oppressed people can become violent, and that's the case historically for the African American community. Their humanity and worth needs to be acknowledged.

 

My screen name is an allusion to the logical fallacy. I am not Scottish, none of my ancestors were part of the slave trade, but they did surely benefit from it.

 

Correct and also the majority of whites were poor farmers or miners and sharecroppers.
The ones who use lies and half truths against whites are the same ones who owned 90% of the slaves in this nation and are still using them through immigration and lobby.
Their plan for the world and use of others has not changed. They will get their NWO now since the only thing holding them back overtime was the white Christian has now given up or joined in on their own demise.

 

Ignorance? Stupidity? Hyperbole?

Take your pick.

 

White male who is a former Christian. There is no NWO conspiracy, and where are these descendants of the wealthiest slave owners. Where are Stephen Duncan's descendants, a man who was the wealthiest slave owner?

Christianity isn't the answer, can tell you from experience, and neither is whiteness.

 

Independent.

And I'm from Baltimore. That's in the USA, ma'am.
