A woman I grew up with in OHIO, recently told me;

"America is the land of the free........Unless you are White, Republican and Southern."

It's been interesting watching this "White victimhood" garbage evolve. Of course, it is total BS and politically motivated.

Do YOU see?

Fuck that rag. It represents evil. If you were strong enough to face the truth, you would be ASHAMED of it. You SHOULD be ashamed of it.

Having said that; I do not believe in banning it as it is protected speech as loathsome as it may be. In fact, I have as yet to hear of any serious effort to ban it and I suspect all of the hullabaloo is another baseless meme of the right, meant to divide and incite us.

Sad to see YOU and so many others have fallen for it.

Getting angry over a symbol would be an example of a thing one should let go--that's on either side of this fight.

Not that I hold with waving that flag. But as long as it's individuals, not the government, you have to let them. You can't lock them up, much as matteos in a moment of fascist emotion wants to, and you shouldn't hate on them for it.

They can wave it all they want and I can poke at them them all I want. I'm not angry, I find the denial and cognitive dissonance fascinating.

Speaking of Okies, check out these shitheels..........

Now try to tell me that waving the Confederate Flag at the first Black President isn't racist.

President Obama was greeted by people waving Confederate flags as he arrived at his hotel in Oklahoma City Wednesday night.

In a crowd of several dozen people, about 10 of them waved Confederate flags as the president's motorcade arrived at his hotel.

It's digusting.

They are only getting their own way 99% of the time instead of 100% and they start whining about reverse discrimination.

It really makes the whole white race look like spoiled brats.

It's been code for white supremacy for as long as I can remember.

On my dads side, I had a grandfather who himself and all five of his brothers were marched off to fight the union army and he was the only one to survive. If not for him, I wouldn't be here. Perhaps that would make yall happy.

But hell no, I don't tell people they are racist for their flag. If I took a notion to hang one I'd damn very well sure do it if I wanted to so therefor I do not label everyone racist for it.
You are the descendant of slaves and yet you speak up for a flag that enslaved your ancestors and would have enslaved you too if not for the North and the victory of the Stars and Stripes.
