Ahhh - if im offended by the flag I MUST be a retard.

Are you contending that the goals of the Confederacy werent detrimental to not ONLY a race of people, but to the stability of the nation itself?

Are you actually saying there is a legitimate need for the Confederate flag to be shown for anything OTHER than historical reference?

Show me where I say all whites are evil. Show me where I say all blacks reject the teachings of Farakhan, and an ignoranct Malcolm X. There aren't generalizations, but a specific criticism of a group of people who are a little TOO narrowminded themselves to feel that there may be some people who dont want to have a "dance of joy around the flag", because maybe - JUST MAYBE the connotations (rightfully) associated with it just dont sit will with others.

A school has ZERO right to hang anything that the government doesn't want hung. Bottom line. If you want to hang that out on your line and salute it every day, that is your right as an American Citizen. Again, not ONCE did I contend that.

However, when you try to tell me that the social climate associated with that flag was anything but narrow-minded and bigoted, I then ask you to go read a non-biased book that isn't chruned through an educational system.

You've already attempted to paint Malcolm X that man as a wholly white devil hating monster, so your assertions regarding The Confederacies dont hold much weight for me. There are no grey areas here.

Black is black. White is white.
