LOL. Why?

Whites get called all kinds of things on the air. I hear racist remarks on morning radio every morning, and nothing is ever said.

Bash whitey= OK.:eek:k:

Bash black ppl= Bad, racist, illwilled, and bigot.

Nice one way street there.

I think if some black announcer said something like that about a team of white girls it would result in a firing.

Why take so much pride in a flag for the losers, anyway? Here's your chance to pull for a winner, CBC. You know, the country in which you currently reside.

It is still a free country, I think.

SO if they chose to fly it they can. I guess he should stop all his players from listening to rap music which glorifies hate and murder. And constant use of derogatory words.

Great analogy. Equate enslavers with entertainers. That makes perfect sense. Nobody is saying people can't fly the flag of the 1860s version of Al Qaeda, the Confederate States of Racism. We're simply saying they should be prepared to be exposed as racists and hicks when they do.

Why would you want your state government to fly, in any official capacity, a flag that is offensive to a large percentage of its citizens? Isn't that pretty much the height of discourtesy?

(And before anyone says just, "People shouldn't be offended by it," consider that a flag is just a colored piece of cloth; it has no meaning other than the symbolic importance people attach to it. Why is other people's symbology less valid than your own?)

I'd give up too if I were fighting over retaining the right to fly the back assward rebel flag on state grounds and my supporters were the pile of hacks and rednecks I've seen making your arguments.

It is allowed. People can be as redneck, backward and uneducated as they so choose. However, that's an entirely different debate than whether the state of SC should have it flying on public property, or effectively sanctioning the ideals that defined the confederacy.

Not the same at all. The ideals that defined the confederacy were basically states rights. The South lost and now states rights are almost nonexistent.

The civil war was fought over states rights with slavery being the match that lit the fuse.

The only "state's right" that was in question leading up to the Civil War, was the "state's right to brutally enslave and force labor upon blacks." Any argument to the contrary is ignorant rubbish.

The Civil War was over slavery. Period. Everything else was just a result over the conflict created from slavery.

Never let facts stand in the way of your belief. I suggest that you take a look at the constitution, paying particular attention to the 10th amendment.

The Union position was that states did not have the right to secede and went to war to bring the errant states back into the fold.

Here you go:
On April 10, 1861, Brig. Gen. Beauregard, in command of the provisional Confederate forces at Charleston, South Carolina, demanded the surrender of the Union garrison of Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor. Garrison commander Anderson refused. On April 12, Confederate batteries opened fire on the fort.
