NASCAR bans the confederate flag

[1972 Grad]

I think you are in a competition with your self to say the dumbest thing on VN today.

Your trolling isn't even funny. Just sad.

You never did answer when I asked who rounded up and caught all the slaves that the slave trader bought.

There you have it. Lynching sympathizers. if these posters ever claim to not be racists reference the posts in this thread.


And yes white people lynched black people for fun basically. None of them were justified or legal.

So, you and I are in agreement that street justice has no place in America and everyone should take their grievances to/through the courts?

 

[Lawrence Wright]

The only people who care about the confederate flag are the left.

Just stop.

False equivalence is a logical fallacy that occurs when someone incorrectly asserts that two or more things are equivalent, simply because they share some characteristics, despite the fact that there are also notable differences between them.

Well this thread direction wasn't predictable at all. Right down to the posters involved...

He thinks white people pulled him from his bunk and took him to the tree just for sh!ts and giggles just because he was black.

that's pretty much what your southern heritage included.

Nice that could weigh in with your wisdom, and decide who should or should not contribute to a thread..

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

I have no doubt you would like to see that

yep, justin and his camel toe.

Ah... I see. So, black lynchings were always wrong and illegal, no questions asked. But if we apply that logic to the current destruction of property of innocent people/communities, and the current killing of otherwise innocent police officers...

Well, that's different. You have questions to ask and distinctions to make.

I think we're seeing another racist proving himself here.

 

[Purple Tiger]

That should make you feel superior to the lowly Southerners then. Sounds like you could use an ego boost, little man.

I am a Southerner, too. And I am 6'1".

 

[GVF]

Well I'm not sure. He was busy committing a third degree felony in Florida. So is he from NY, FL, or DC?

FL is not typically considered a southern state. It's been resettled by northern invaders.

 

[Purple Tiger]

How is it racist to say it depends on what the lynchee did?

You are saying it is right to lynch a man if they did something (or were accused of doing something) wrong? So it's ok to supersede the American justice system? That's illegal, too, by the way.

 

[FLVOL_79]

That is exactly the racist wing of the conservatives mindset.

You want a Christian theocracy to rule like the Taliban, you want a strong man dictator like the Soviet Union, y'all are actual Nazis and support Nazism and white nationalists.

Damn you are right for once.

Lol. You seem confused about your own positions. You want to tear down statues like the Taliban. You want to rewrite history like the Nazis, and you want everyone to be economically equal like the Soviets.

Sweet jesus, did you graduate high school?

Hang 'em high.

It's an old saying. I'm showing my age. LOL!

Your screen name shows your age, old man.

I could have been a child prodigy, and graduated as a 1 year old.

No, you couldn't, old man. UT didn't exist when you were one year old.

If a person wants to fly a Rebel flag on their property, then that is their right to do so. Some if not the majority of the people that do fly this flag have an old-fashioned view on many things and hold ignorance & prejudice in their hearts. Not that hard to identify growing up and living in E TN. Good move by NASCAR removing outdated crap. NASCAR still remains unwatchable. This is similar to the decision Dolly Parton made by changing the name of the dixie stampede to Dolly’s stampede.

Slave traders raided the shores and kidnapped many Africans.



Also you are not as educated as me on the matter. I have actually taken college courses on the subject.

Some were prisoners of war. Africans did not know what American slavery was. Slavery is Africa and the Middle East ( the Arab slave trade) was more like indentured servitude. Their slaves were still educated and their kids were not born slaves. It was a completely different system. Africans thought it would be the same over here as there. They were not aware of the extremely inhumane system of American slavery. So it was not the same thing. So yes Africans participated but were unaware of the treatment in the Americas. They were unaware of chattel slavery.

Slavery - Wikipedia.
systems of servitude and slavery were common in parts of Africa, as they were in much of the ancient world. In many African societies where slavery was prevalent, the enslaved people were not treated as chattel slaves and were given certain rights in a system similar to indentured servitude elsewhere in the world. The forms of slavery in Africa were closely related to kinship structures. In many African communities, where land could not be owned, enslavement of individuals was used as a means to increase the influence a person had and expand connections.[149] This made slaves a permanent part of a master's lineage and the children of slaves could become closely connected with the larger family ties.[150] Children of slaves born into families could be integrated into the master's kinship group and rise to prominent positions within society, even to the level of chief in some instances. However, stigma often remained attached and there could be strict separations between slave members of a kinship group and those related to the master.[149] Slavery was practiced in many different forms: debt slavery, enslavement of war captives, military slavery, and criminal slavery were all practiced in various parts of Africa.[151] Slavery for domestic and court purposes was widespread throughout Africa.

I was thinking 1794 or so for U.T.

Not when you get your way and it's abolished

“Small percentage”

Yea because those pictures represented about 1-2% of all Southern white people

That is a lie. No other argument needed. If you really believe that you need to read a book.

 

[Rickyvol77]

I was not aware that "Blacks" oppressed generations of people. I was not aware that "Blacks" wore African clothing to terrorize people. I know that Africans wear clothing that is traditional to the country in Africa that they are from. You know "Blacks" were stolen from their countries, and families were torn apart. You have every right to celebrate your southern heritage, whatever that may be.

You weren’t aware that blacks oppressed generations of people? Do you even read about African history?

I'm pretty sure I see my granddaddy and his 8 brothers in the last picture.
