Yep, as Walter Williams calls em’ “The Klan with a Tan”….still fighting for meaningless stuff, while important issues(80% out of wedlock birth), sky high violent crime rates etc) are destroying the average Black American.

BobF, quite right… It keeps most, I say *most* of the trash out…

Now if they’d take ALL the trash, white trash too, and just leave, we’d ALL be better off…

How could a NAACP boycott hurt anybody? A boycott by that racist bunch would be a plus or any state.

My good and dear Longstreet, I am so very happy that you weighed in on this, I was hoping you would, I knew what your response would be too…

And Sir, as I said before, it is men of honor, men such as yourself, that have held true with OUR history, you Sir, are to be commended..

The Confederate Battle Flag never flew over slavery. It never flew over a slave ship. The slave trade was completely controlled from the New England States. The Confederate Battle Flag is a soldier’s flag. It was created for use on the battle field. It was never a national flag of the Confederacy.

Anyone wishing to bitch and whine about a flag flying over slavery… point to the US Stars and Stripes… “Old Glory”. THERE is your flag of slavery.

I got the word out to all my SCV compatriots, yesterday, in my area of NC. Our National Convention (Reunion) starts today (Wednesday July 16th, 2008) in Concord NC. I expect someone will, uh, mention this.

As a native South Carolinian, like Jo, I am furious at this. SC did what the NAACP demanded by removing the flag from the dome of the capitol building. (A building, I might add, which still has cannon balls from Sherman’s rabble army stuck in it’s walls!) And within hours they attacked it again.

By the way, I am told that the boycott of SC by the NAACP has not hurt the SC economy one bit. In fact, I am told, tourist dollars spent in SC have increased, substantially, since the boycott was begun.

My ancestors fought, bled, and died beneath that flag. To insult that flag is to insult my family. I take it personally, because it IS personal.

God Save the South!

Deo Vindici!

Too bad they won’t tackle the real problems. But the real problem of the Black community is their leadership. And their worship of gangsters, drugs, and welfare.

What bugs me about those that oppose the “Stars and Bars” is usually the same group that tells us we shouldn’t be offended if they burn the Stars and Stripes and we should understand that only they have the right to free speech because they are aggrieved, but what do I know I’m just a hick.

I’ve had my post in drafts all day…waiting for my anger to subside. As a native South Carolinian, I applaud Gov. Sanfords stance on refusing to negotiate the boycott. I am so beyond furious I can’t type straight…as they say about guns…from my cold, dead ,hands.

Oh, okay Fred, well, my comment was satire anyway… you know, that stuff that’s supposed to be funny, unless, of course, it involves the Obamessiah.
