NAACP Branch Readies for Confederate Flag Fight

NAACP Branch Readies for Confederate Flag Fight

A flag fight is brewing in southern Florida.

Members of the Miami-Dade branch of the NAACP want the Confederate flag banned from the Homestead-Miami Motor Speedway, and they will meet Thursday to decide whether to boycott a NASCAR race slated there for November.

Debra Toomer, the branch’s chairwoman of press and publicity, said a planning session has been scheduled to decide on a course of action regarding the display of the flag at the Nov. 20-22 event, as well as its presence at city-sponsored events like last year’s Veterans Day parade.

“The concern is there,” Toomer said of Confederate flags. She declined to comment further before the meeting.

But officials at NASCAR and the raceway say there’s little they can do to prevent spectators from displaying or waving the Confederate flag.

NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston told FOXNews.com that NASCAR’s “longstanding policy” prohibits displays of the Confederate flag on its cars, uniforms, licensed merchandise or in advertisements.

I have a very special, and personal message for ALL the members of the NAACP, La Raza, ACORN and any other bunch of moonbats that have a problem with the Flag of the Confederacy, and it’s very similar to the message I am sending to any and all that are offended by the United States flag.

You can all, each and every one of you, collectively or individually, KISS MY AMERICAN REBEL ASS!

Now you people have something else to be offended over!

European women drawn to Texas death row inmates

December 9th, 2007 . by TexasFred

Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope you’ll read this story, it is pathetic, it’s ridiculous, it shows the desperation and lonliness that many in this world feel and I don’t mean the death row inmates, I suppose the phrase There’s a sucker born every minute pretty much fits the bill on this one. there’s really not that much more I can say, not that I’d consider posting anyway…

LIVINGSTON, Texas - Romina Deeken is a classic beauty, long and lithe, cascading blond hair, green eyes set in alabaster, not the type of woman who needs to solicit attention from men.

But last year, the 24-year-old German reached out to a convicted killer on Texas’ death row. Her motives were altruistic, she said, not romantic. In time, after more than 50 letters posted back and forth across the Atlantic, Ms. Deeken said, mutual feelings grew.

“I have a connection with him,” she explained recently, shaking slightly, tears running down her cheek. “Everyone in life has a vision, has dreams, has fears, is searching for something. He is the person I can talk deeply with about these things.”

Ms. Deeken’s story is coffee shop talk in this small southeast Texas town, home of the maximum-security Polunsky Unit and death row.

Each month, dozens of travel-weary, love-struck European women arrive in Livingston for visits with condemned inmates, a pair of four-hour chats through Plexiglas. There is no touching.
