Confederacy purge continues while last century's villians ignored

American history is American history and covering it up will not help anyone, but go ahead and be a bunch of ******s and make it impossible to buy a certain pattern on cloth. All it does is make you look like cowards though.

It also makes very clear those who do not deserve help when their government fails them. Resources are always limited, there is no point in using them to save the weak. If Obama and his minions are able to instigate the race war they want, liberal area such as larger cities should be allowed to fall. Those who don't know any better will be trapped in them and die. Those who survive the first few weeks and try to get out will likely be killed by those not willing to be robbed. Like it or not, those who have a plan and are willing to live by it will be the victors. Those who depend on government will be disappointed. And by disappointed I mean dead. It is ironic that those who depend on government to take rights away from others will be the most helpless whe it collapses under it's own weight.
 
Nope, trying to erase history is never a good thing

Nobody said that. It will be in the museum right beside the equally racist and oppressive nazi flag. Such history should never be erased, but kept in a proper setting, so as not to repeat such nastiness.
 
It doesn't matter what thought process or motivation is behind the ambition to display the confederate war flag. African Americans were torn from their lives, shipped to America and forced to labor without compensation, and when they see that flag, it's a reminder of the sufferings of their ancestors oppression, it's hurtful, it's offensive and it's painful for black Americans. Out of consideration for that alone, that piece of **** should be pulled down!!!!!

Except the Confederates were the polar opposite of the Nazis. Complete polar opposite. General Lee even freed his slaves before the war began, as did Grant, well freed his one guy anyway. His wife sure as heck didn't. She kept hers because "good help was just too hard to find" as she is quoted as saying.

Spoken like a true "student" of revisionist history.

Yea their fellow Africans shouldnt have sold them into slavery. When looking back was the best thing to happen to that race....they got a free ride to America and now their children live in the best country in the history of the world. They could still be living in ****ty Africa getting raped to death by lions with AIDS.

You're sick dude.

That's disgusting, really.
 
How about you start a petition online and let the free market work it out. If you don't like "commie" stuff being sold, demand that Amazon stop selling it. Create an outrage. There is a reason this is happening, its because people are no longer rolling over and allowing a racist symbol to exist. I would love for the same to be true about every disenfranchisement around the world, ever.

Who are you talking to?

But Africans weren't selling their "fellow" Africans into slavery.....they were selling their "enemies" just like Greeks and Romans once did. It's estimated that well over 12 million blacks from Africa were sold into slavery in America in less than 400 years, which was so huge that it changed the genetic map of the world. So, I find it extremely hard to believe that Africans could've done that all on their own without the help of white slavers and their Trans Atlantic slave trade.

When looking back was the best thing to happen to that race....they got a free ride to America and now their children live in the best country in the history of the world. They could still be living in ****ty Africa getting raped to death by lions with AIDS.

That argument goes back to Robert E. Lee just before the war....

"...The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, socially & physically. The painful discipline they are undergoing, is necessary for their instruction as a race, & I hope will prepare & lead them to better things. How long their subjugation may be necessary is known & ordered by a wise Merciful Providence..."

Basically, what you're saying is that blacks prefer slavery in America to poverty in Africa. But you ignore the effect the Atlantic slave trade had on Africa that helped to make it poor in the first place. You also ignore the fact that blacks really didn't have a choice and were taken against their will. And you also ignore that the fact that poverty does not justify slavery, both of which blacks have endured largely because of whites.
 
I guess I'll leave my Dixie flag at home the next time I go see the Washington Redskins play.
