Forgive me folks for I must rant.
This is not meant to be racial in any way, bare with me.
1.Virginias governor wants to make April, Confederate Heritage Month.
2As I said in another post “I never owned slaves nor did my family”.
3The jeffer family tree wasn't a whole lot better off than some slave families.
4After 1920 or so things were looking up, if you call the depression and WW2
good stuff.
5It doesn’t bother me to remember the past, we learn from our mistakes. A butt load of battles were fought in Virginia and a lot of good people (on both sides) died. Seems nobody can decide what the civil war was about. Wake up all. We still have crooked politicians doing the same thing today. Feeding BS to us little people so they can stuff their pockets.
Now the NAACP steps in. All blacks should boycott VA. If the commonwealth remembers the confederacy it should be made to suffer.
Dear NAACP,
I can think of many reasons to hate none of them are good. The fact the United States had that terrible time is more reason to bring people together than apart. If you dislike someone for their color and not their actions you’ll always be looking over your shoulder. Before you try to turn this statement around read the fifth sentence again. Let me help you with your own logic. OK all black people who hate the very thought of heritage
stay out of Virginia. Everyone else who despises the heritage idea do the same and take your tourism dollars elsewhere. Follow Jessie Jackson's lead go on TV in your silk suite and put everyone but your supporters down.
Don’t take time to apologize to the thousands of former supporters who live in Virginia and the other states you boycott. Yes former supporters. Black people, hard working moms, dads and kids. People who don’t have time to stand in front of a camera and whine.

In short take your Mercedes somewhere else we’ll be fine without you.
You can call me cry baby if you like I’m done now.

Now, the NAACP is already up in arms over this. Myself, I think it is a fitting combined holiday.

MLK Jr, was a champion of Personal Freedoms & Rights

The Confedercy was about States Freedoms & Rights.

And yes, I do think the Confederate Flag should be taken down from the Capital Dome. It does NOT belong up there with The National and State Flag... it is not an "official" flag. It should be moved to where they want to put it... directly in front of the stairs leading into the Capital.

Whats the problem? (just my Yankee Opinion)

Schmit, I want you to know I respect your opinion.
North, south, east, west, black, white, red, yellow or anything else.
We all have opinions to express and we all should be heard.
The reason for my second post is----are we talking about the same thing?
I was referring to something in Virginia not South Carolina.
If I got my wires crossed please forgive and delete this post.
 
Sadly, the NAACP has come to be less about real improvements for the quality of life for all blacks, and more about grants, handouts and Danegeld for the leadership. Much of what they seem to stand for, today, is 180 degrees off from what Dr. King spoke for, fought for, and died for.

Whether one agreed with him or disagreed with him doesn't matter. King stood up like a man for what he believed. Today's "Black Leadership", compared to him, are not only dwarfs, they're mental midgets.

I believe we are. Virginia is taking flack for something they are proposing to do. SC is taking flack about two things they did (Confederate Flag over Capital House & Combination MLK Jr/Confederate Memorial Day (May 10th BTW).

Some people do not realize what the real issue of the Civil War was... Federal v State Power. It could be argued that with the outcome of that war the Federal Govt has grown in size & power, to the loss of States Rights/Power, which in turn led to the loss of individual rights.

What was it that M L King Jr said "A Right Regulated is a Right Denied!" How may of our Constitutional Rights are now Regulated? Do our States have any say/power in the Federal Govt Regulating those Rights?

Nope the issues are being clouded by those that want to further their own agenda (read influence, wealth). Because, that is exactly why they are in existance... make do doubt about it. Same as the NRA IMO... just a different cause + effect.
 
The NAACP.

You gotta love them.

630,000 dead in the so-called Civil War, and we still need to give them "reparations" (for, you see, "the war was not fought over slavery!")......

But at the same time we have to make tabula rasaof Southern Culture, those hateful racists rednecks (for, you see, "the war was fought over slavery")......

Happily, there are a lot of blacks who love the South and understand the real principles that prompted the Southern Nation to seceed. However, the Media, as always, are doing a shamefully poor and viciously slanted job in correctly portraying the two sides to the issue.

The NAACP, ACLU, the Beltway media and their cohorts need to all be shipped to Mars, where they can live their pitiful little lives and leave us all be.

But ultimately, those events wind up fueling more and more awareness and anger in an otherwise apathetic public. So, in a very contorted way, I welcome them.

Let the sleeping dog lie......

I personally prefer the Congress of Racial Equality. Its president, Roy Innis, understands the 2nd, and knows that disarming blacks will set their race back 100 years.

Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the others are exactly what JC Watts called them: race-baiting poverty pimps.

Gents, I believe that we can also thank our government schools for 'little' problems like this. Being a product of one, I would never have known the Civil War was over States' Rights, and not slavery, had I not done a great deal of reading on my own, and more in college.

I wonder how it is being portrayed in school these days? I'll have to check with my nephews.
 
"United we stand, divided we fall." Those words were true when originally spoken, and they are even more true today.
Those slimeballs in the Congress, along with out Pervert-in-Chief, along with their toadie media cohorts know this.
They keep us divided by issues such as racism, womens issure, and yes, even gun control. The average American in this current state of prosperity can't see the foret for the trees, and is slowly allowing "Big Brother" to take over.
I once had the oppotunity to meet the Rev. Jackson. I even have pictures. My wife says that I am perceptive to people when I face them. I don't know, but when I met him face to face, I felt very strongly that there stood a very evil man. In what way I can't say, but I would not trust that man as far as I could pick up the Empire State Building and throw it.
In my opinion, we are a divided country, and if the sheople don't wake up to soon, we will be even more divided. Rulers and slaves.
