Is the American Flag Next

It's as if they think he speaks for the entire white population of the South. Are they really that phucking dumb?

Are you? You really think Southern racism is limited to one guy?

The flag was founded on slavery. It's heavily used by racist groups. Heck, it was largely out of use for a long time until the 1960s, when it had a revival among the opposition to the civil rights movement.

People don't dislike it just because of the historic context- though there is a certain disregard for one's fellow Americans to use a flag that was literally raised to try and keep their ancestors in slavery- but also the modern, very real racism that many have experienced first hand.

It's never represented Southern culture as a whole as much as some claim, it's represented the part of the South that is most tied with racism.

And the South has so much good stuff *outside* that era, that it's disappointing to see it lionized at the expense of ignoring their accomplisments.

Am I the only one who doesn't care whose face is on the money? I don't even notice it anymore. If they removed all faces from all currency it wouldn't bother me.

Yes they want to put the first woman leader of the Cherokee nation called Mankiller.

Obvious left move

Insulting? Hahah why are you so easily offended?

That seems more insulting to women actually.

Again, it's easy to say that when the people on all the pictures are like you. "What's the big deal, doesn't matter to me.", well it is a big deal to all the young girls looking at this and seeing that none of the people we honor the most are like them, it has a deep impact, and it needs to change.

But if it has such a deep impact why choose someone nicknamed "Mankiller" ?

It's not a nickname. Surely she should be judged by her deeds, not her last name.

It is not a big deal if it is just her last name. Just the way I read it made it seem like it was a nick name.

Yes, the way TI wrote it made it seem that way. Far be it from me to suggest any sort of biased phrasing.

Because the liberals are on a all out assault on traditional marriage, traditional family values, there is a war on men. He'll even people on Mew are saying now that children do not belong to their parents.

The liberals aren't on the assault for anything. They're just constantly bored and in need of a crusade.

I know you two have your Republican talking points, but can you try to explain, outside of the party orders, how these claims in any way relate to some people suggesting that a popular and influential Native American chief could be printed on the 10 dollar bill?

Well a person shouldn't belong to anyone, regardless of age.

Oh yeah, missed that. Children most definitely do not belong to their parents. They are human beings with rights, and the government must ensure that their rights and autonomy is not infringed beyond what is reasonable for raising them. Parents should see themselves as guardians, stewarding their children into adulthood, not as owners...

Anyways, no thoughts on the cop being fired though? I wonder if it only happened because he doesn't live that far from where the recent racist shooting in the church happened? If he'd been from Maine or California or somewhere else would he of still been fired?

Would he have any grounds to sue for wrongful termination?

You keep talking about Republic talking points, you don't see me yelling at your liberal/democratic liberal talking points. My "points" had nothing to do with what the previous guy said or support for him in any way. My point was, liberals love crusades. Over the past 20 years, they've created so many isms to fight against, it makes my head spin. But I hardly agree that liberals are "assaulting" traditional marriage.

I disagree with both of you, liberals don't assault, neither do they crusade, instead they *synonym of military attack*...
