Native Americans are much less offensive to me (I am part Cherokee) than the scumbag politicians that occupy Washington...

No. It is history and was a symbol in Europe way before it was brought here. I can see how some may find the Rebel Flag offensive mostly because of the fact that it has been adopted and bastardized by hate groups as a symbol of hate. To me the flag in and of itself is not offensive but the fact it has been used to signify hate ruined it of any historical signifigance. There is a difference between history and hate.

This crap is way out of hand.

If we do go this route people need to understand some overlooked facts:

By 1830 there were 3,775 black families living in the South who owned black slaves. By 1860 there were about 3,000 slaves owned by black households in the city of New Orleans alone.

Shame on the family seems to have more than one color in New Orleans.

Whoa now. We don't want the revisionist "historians" to have to re-rewrite history. It could change the almighty hate stirring narrative - which people who claim to be above hatred- know and love.

Click bait? Have you been watching the world around us lately? This is real life happening, not some TMZ gossip topic.

*Sees link... sees CSC... is confused by comment... *

I watch the world around me all the time.

Now, I don't always read about it from alleged "journalistic" sources, and when I do, I prefer Knob Creek, and take it as mere entertainment.
