Don't you comprehend what I was saying? If this flag is no longer allowed being displayed in public, will you accept it or what? Will a new law kill you? Have your realized that it's 2015? It's time to move on and accept any changes while you live.

Those black church people are dead because of this flag.

So, the American Flag is not racist for legalizing slavery? :hmm:

Lets see if you are that smart. Why did he kill those people? Have you seen his picture posing with this flag and burning an American flag? I don't get why you can't see that this flag is the cause of his crime. He said so in his manifesto.

Hey CrazyPaul, do you want to destroying the confederate heritage?

May I should destabilize your state - California and you have one year to left for water supply.

If you run out of water and need help from us - please respect our confederate heritage or we won't help your state.

:laugh2: That's the dumbest joke I have heard.
 
I didn't make this photo, I know there were 13 stars on the flag during Civil War. I used as a source (fb) anyways.

So slavery prior to 1861 was still in the American flag, legal... pointing out the contradictions on the photo itself. It's the idiot thug who made the Confederate flag look bad. I've visited the South and met many nice people and hospitality was very nice. So tell me, did the flag tell the shooter to burn American flag? No, did the flag tell the shooter to kill? No, the shooter is one miserable person who have issues. The manifesto is his own statement that he wanted to kill, not the flag itself.

By 1865, the American flag didn't have 48 stars.

What does that tell you? You displayed the wrong flag.

BTW, slavery went back to 1619 starting in VA.

Well, well, well, now it's demanded that the flag is no longer accepted. Why? Think hard!

What? Black people have nothing to do with politics.

Fact: I asked my deaf black ex-worker about this flag a long time ago. It didn't bother him and his grandma but it bothered a lot of black people. Why did it bother them? He said they won't forget about slavery in the southern states.

Have you talked to a deaf black friend about that? That's when you get educated.
 
Don't forget there is black Confederate decedents. There is also slavery in the North states as well. See RR's post #726 that should help you.

Black deaf people don't have a monopoly on the flag. One anecdote does not make it a fact. There are far more ways to "get educated". Blacks (and every other race in this world) have EVERYTHING to do with politics.
An inanimate object did not cause this guy to go and kill. Perhaps the story/stories/facts behind the flag did but the flag itself didn't whisper to him "go kill 'em". What caused the guy to go do what he did was society and his OWN philosophy and interpretation of everything he read about/saw.

Do you actually believe that he's the only one? Don't you think some other people who support the stupid flag feel the same way but they are afraid to do what he did? I know why-because they don't want to go to jail but they still feel the hatred as he does.

You better wake up.

That link provided by RR is from American Freedom Fighters. Do you know who they are? Look at the articles at its website. I don't like them at all. All they do is talk sh*t.

As for Northern Slavery, they were treated properly, even though they shouldn't be owned by anyone. Southern slavery was worse due to bad treatment, rape and murder. The Southerns made them suffer unlike the Northern slaves. Tell me how come black men from North joined the army during the Civil war when there were no black men in Southern Army?
 
Are you sure about that? You must have misread history... let me help you:

I doubt there is much difference in treatment of slavery between North and South.
