Why do do you keep making it into a personal issue every time someone says something you don't like? You are the only one I know on this thread who has created an Sh@@-list of posters and made it public. Most of us are just stating our views without any particular person in mind, and then you come along always trying to lecture and shame people, who have no choice but to defend themselves.
Your kidding right? Have you not lectured and shamed and accused and on and on and on? There is not ONE flag keeper who said one word until all these accusations about racism and slavery and oppression and bigotry started being slung at them. We were forced to make a stand BECAUSE you began making serious judgements about people you do not even know. Yes it became personal.
I am not speaking for them mput. I am sharing their words. These are the words that matter to me.. You do not need to agree. Your opinion is your own.
Nope, not anyone in particular. I leave it to the individual. Yes, I might trash a culture and an ideology, but I leave it up to the individual to live buried beneath what I consider to be a pile of trash. You just object fervently to the fact that the shoe fits perfectly the foot that is permanently sewn to the roof of your mouth.
Did I say anything about me? Did I say anything about you? I said the people that tried to abolish slavery have the moral high ground over people that want to harbor delusions of white supremacy. Does this statement fit me? Does this statement fit you? It was a statement of fact.
Their words matter to me as well and I am sure other flag keepers. You do NOT have the moral high ground because you think you know a persons heart (racism is a very strong accusation). The point is when you start making generalizations about people you do not really know or understand be prepared for the backlash. Answer this one question: Why do you not do something about the lack of African Americans in Sowal? They hardly exist in Sowal. Suggestion: give future development to African American businesses. Another suggestion: require all rentals to have at least 25% minorities. Why not use your energy this way instead of putting all this BS on a little flag.
Understand that statements of fact are interpreted by some as personal attacks.
Your insinuations are really hidden accusations that those that symbolize the flag as a memorial or Southern Heritage are on the wrong side of morality. You can make those accusations but just be prepared to defend them. What have you done to promote more African Americans to Sowal?
