KKK Plans Confederate Flag Rally at SC Capitol

Amazing, you "progressives" are quite a unique bunch of fascists. Never change.

Amazing your seemingly psychic ability to know who someone without a single exchange and your consistency in lumping people together under single narrow definition so that you find easier to process

I am relying on your posts regarding censorship and your self-appointed political classification.

So you are admitting to making judgments about me as a person based on my political affiliation

Your posts. I have to believe that you are a progressive, since that is what you claim.
 
Like I mentioned earlier I gave away most of my UDC magazines to a horse trainer friend of mine whose wife is a direct descendant of General Lee. Therefore I cannot recall specific monthly issues but overall information

OK, but then you have to realize what you're doing is reciting your memory of articles we can't read, from a southern confederate group with a clear incentive to cast the South and the Confederacy in the most favorable light possible. Sorry but that isn't evidence of any kind except that someone wrote an article and you are telling us what you say you remember of it. Especially since your version of history is so thoroughly contradicted by a variety of easily located sources.

For example, maybe the "original" KKK was formed as a group to protect the South. But what every historical account I've read indicates is they quickly, as in almost immediately, devolved into what historians refer to as a "terrorist" group, murdering, beating, intimidating blacks and republicans to install democrats friendly to a continued regime of white supremacy over freed blacks. And the fact is the South remained a U.S. version of apartheid regime for the next 100 years.

So when you talk about the "nobility" of the South pre and post Civil War, the rest of us look at what happened to blacks in those eras, plural, and how it took the Feds to end that era with legislation and the threat of using the National Guard in some cases.....
 
It's a free speech issue and nothing more. We have overcome a lot in this country and should be proud of what we have accomplished. These symbols of our past serve, in some respects, to remind us of where we have been and that we need not go there again.

How does flying a flag the state rose over the capital, to protest the end of Jim Crow, over a memorial for dead white soldiers, remind anyone of Jim Crow and slavery? It doesn't which is why the admitted racists in the KKK want that flag kept right where it is.

And it's not a free speech issue at all. It's an issue of respect, and common courtesy, to SC's black residents and others. It's no more a "free speech" issue than societal conventions against you wearing your swastika tie to your next meeting with a Jewish client. You CAN do that, but you wouldn't dream of it if you respected them, no matter how many of your family served and died fighting in WWII for Germany.
 
The ATF and the FBI said today that the church fires have nothing to do with racism. So, unless you have evidence to the contrary, the answer to that part of your question is yes. As for the sale of the flag, yes, that too is inconsequential. It is becoming a collectors item since it is being banned so people are buying it while it is available.

However, if you are so concerned about it, what evidence do you have that the KKK or another hate group has anything to do with either one?

Do you have a link to show the burnings were definitely not race related? All I'm seeing on the news is one MAY have been a lightning strike, and another MAY have been started by a black man that resented women being pastors but none are conclusive yet.

But if that has changed feel free to provide a reliable source.

As far as sales of the rebel flag, I have no doubt part of what you say is true regarding collectors, but once again you have no proof that all sales are to collectors.

No Evidence of Hate Crimes in Fires at Black Churches
By RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑA and ALAN BLINDER
JUNE 29, 2015

After a deadly racist attack in South Carolina and heated debates about Confederate symbols, a string of fires at black churches in the South has put congregations on edge. But officials say they have found no evidence that the blazes were hate crimes.

...

MSNBC and a few other far left "news" outlets are hyping it as if there is no other reason that it could possibly be, than a bunch of racist white folks burning black churches.
 
Lemme guess you dismiss history passed down from those who were there? WOW, just wow.

But you dismiss the words straight from the mouths of those who were there. WOW is right.
 
The KKK is a beacon of freedom compared to these radical progressives these days.

You don't need 'psychic ability' to tell who the Stupids are. They're the ones who believe that the down South racists changed to Republicans because of a "Nixon Strategy". You didn't get the Gruber memo?
 

Just a hypothetical here - is it even remotely possible that SC officials say no evidence that the fires were hate crimes, simply because SC has no hate crime statutes? They are only 1 of a handful of states that doesn't recognize the "hate crime," so I was just wondering.

No need for anybody to automatically assume I'm race baiting. Just asking a simple, hypothetical question that ran across the ticker tape in my brain when I read the NY Times Headline.

I'm reasonably sure it isn't willful blindness. SC gov and LE are well aware of the need to keep that crap contained and sensitive about our already-tenuous PR with the rest of the nation.

And the party of Lincoln, the conservatives, are defending the display of the flag that is a symbol of oppression and suffering to a significant portion of our population. ;)

In your opinion it is a symbol of oppression and the other crap you said to 12% of the population. :2razz::mrgreen::cool:

The original KKK were freedom fighters. The South actually had no choice but to ride out at night and fight in secret. The union forces wouldn't let them protect their women and children openly. It was an awful time.
 
Ive never been one to care what the clueless, slobbering masses think about anything.


Have you listened to pop music lately? That **** is atrocious, watered down, garbage...and so is popular opinion.

So is yours.
