Racism in the US
Re: Racism in the US
It amazes me that the Confederate flag is still praised and defended in this country. It's like if people celebrated 9/11 or something, with flags to celebrate Osama bin Laden.

Re: Racism in the US
I liken it more to the Union Jack. Imagine a portion of the country flying and waving that flag and calling it heritage or history because of the British colonies and settlers whom we fought against and kicked out.

Who? I don't THANK so. He was joking, right? No, I'm serious. I think he was. Went and read the comments and I'm pretty sure he was.

Yeah, that sounded like sarcasm to me.
In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.

Brent Terhune is a comedian. He's mocking a stereotype of a redneck Trump supporter.

Re: Racism in the US
It amazes me that that the Republican party was formed to end slavery. They ended up in a Civil War because they felt so strongly about it. The flag they pledged allegiance to was the Stars and Stripes. The South (Democrats) were in favor of slavery and ended up in a Civil War because they felt so strongly about it. The flag they pledged allegiance to was the confederate flag.
How is it Republicans today fantasize about the South rising again and fly the Confederate flag?
Democrats were pro slavery during the Civil war and I’m pretty sure they started the KKK.
Somewhere along the line they switched name tags.

This is a well done and eye opening video:

I really didn't want to click on that website link. Could you please provide a short bit of context so I could find other sources myself next time?

Lol, sure - I thought I might get some blow back on that website (I follow it on Twitter, to try to stay balanced - though more often than not I just get irritated):Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 3:00 amI really didn't want to click on that website link.

I'm glad that social media companies are starting to ban racist content.

Re: Racism in the US
Yea about 10-15 years too late but hopefully they really crack down. I dont think hate speech is free speech and the spread of those ideas and ideaologies thru social media is extremely dangerous. And more and more you see people rationalizing it as if it's a legitimate argument, both sides-ing stuff online.

The thing that really blows my mind is that the Confederate flag is being flown proudly by extremists who aren't even in the South. People in theHow is it Republicans today fantasize about the South rising again and fly the Confederate flag?
Dakotas, in Oklahoma, in New England are flying it. You can't tell me that is about "Southern pride" or "celebrating local history."

And what could you be proud about? That would be like being a descendant of Benedict Arnold and proudly displaying his name/portraits every where you go.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Thu Jul 02, 2020 9:45 amThe thing that really blows my mind is that the Confederate flag is being flown proudly by extremists who aren't even in the South.
