If you put things out to be provocative and get a reaction don’t be surprised when you get a reaction.

I don't care for or support the Confederate flag and what it stood for regarding slavery... I live in NC..

There is a saying around here that I've heard most of my life that I do believe now and that is...

"The South will Rise Again"

And guess what? I do believe it and I support it.. The Southern states I believe are the last remnants of modern conservative America and that is what I support and will fight for when the time comes...

Of course Liberals won't understand what I'm saying on purpose and continue on with their fake outrage..

I'm going to tell you Wackjobs that I believe the South will one day rise up and there will be another Civil War... We are heading straight for it..

All you racist, Atheist, feminist, socialist, , gay, tranny, violent, mentally ill Liberals will have to take on the South... We will be the last stronghold on preserving America...

I believe that...

We don't want to live in a Liberalized America and we are ready to fight...

Going to need a lot of mechanics to keep those fatman scooters going

The south will get their shit pushed in again.

Once a loser always a loser.

Most of the south relies on government money. All those Southern states take more from the government then they give. Those welfare queens are too dependent on the government teat to rise up. Plus most Southerners are fat. The only way they rise is if their HoverRound has a lift.

 

[My Spot]

Is that what happened to moron rednecks in the south? They won a flag that represents ignorant treasonous racist losers as a prize and now cling onto it like it's some symbol of winning or pride?

As if statues are just things to remember history by and not monuments of admiration. Look at how the statues are put up. You don't see the confederate general surrendering, or groveling in the dirt, or him ripping up the US flag. They get put on horses, in a position of power and admiration.

Statue of Bin Laden would get destroyed immediately.

Statue of Bin Laden would get destroyed immediately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Without statues of Osama Bin Laden and the 9/11 hijackers at ground zero and in 100's locations across America how are we supposed to remember the history of 9/11!!!!

 

[Ice That Jaw]

Lot's of people have always hated the Confederacy and way before it was "trendy", especially African Americans. You know the people the Confederacy was fighting a war for the right to keep them as slaves.

The north had slaves too, even during the war so if african americans are only upset with one side then their feelings are misguided.

You guys need to knock it off with your civil war fantasies. It was a long time ago and it really has nothing to do with you personally. You sound like a drunk rambling goon with this stuff.

 

[nhbbear]

Bet you couldn’t get white chocolate for burning that flag.

It is just a dumbass thing to do, good way to bring heat down on your business. fuckin retarded!

HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- The owner of a Hillsborough chocolate shop said he has been receiving death threats ever since he placed a controversial sign in front of his store.
Matthew Shepherd told ABC11 that a group of men waving a Confederate battle flag stood steps away from Matthew's Chocolates at 104 North Churton St.
"They're blocking people from crossing. They're calling people names. People are coming in complaining, griping, bad moods," Shepherd said. "Nobody was really doing anything about it. Apparently, they have more rights than anyone. So I put that on the sign just to lighten the mood a little bit."
Shepherd placed a sign in front of his business that read: "Burn a Confederate flag, get free chocolate." The sign sparked interest around town and a prompt warning from the Hillsborough Police Department to refrain from responding or posting the sign again.

Shepherd later changed the wording to read: "Burn a rebel flag, get free chocolate."
In response, Shepherd has been the subject of many death threats, which are being investigated by Hillsborough Police.
"It was just a little fun thing for the locals and obviously they were looking for something to pounce on. And they pounced," said Shepherd. "So now we're dealing with all the repercussions of that."

Shepherd declined to go into detail about the alleged threats. However, investigators with the town's police department questioned Shepherd again Wednesday.When pressed further on the threats, Shepherd replied, "I don't find those to be a Southern value. I don't find those to be an American value. And certainly not a Christian value."

It's a shame that a bunch of brain dead yahoo's would resort to death threats for encouraging sane people to burn the flag of a bunch of low life traitors.

He should have a Confederate flag burning ceremony. God that would be fun!

LEt them keep their looser flags. It lets normally people easily identify those with mental defects.

The shooting stopped, yes. The South also surrendered and gave up trying to uphold slavery and seceding from the rest of the nation. Deep rooted beliefs like they had will take generations to get past. But I don't believe there are as many people who are pro-slavery or want to secede from the North in this day and age, even down South. I'm sure there are some, but their views are archaic and completely without possibility. If there's a Civil War still going, it's in their tiny little brains. The rest of the world has moved on.

I think what he’s trying to say is that we still have like lingering effects of the war and the attitudes and actions of that era. The reasons for secession and the actual fighting were far deeper than simply ”slavery.” We’ve had this discussion ad nauseam, and ultimately everyone’s view on it is going to be based on their perception of the Federal government’s role in society. And interpretation of the US Constitution.

Well, the South ran out of men to fight and resources, unlike the North. Had it been the other way around, the South would have won. Had Lee Commanded the Union Army (which he refused to do), the Civil War would have been over in less than 2 years. The South had the better officers.

The Confederate states made it quite clear that slavery was the reason they were succeeding from the union, quit trying to rewrite history. They went to war over slavery got their asses kicked on the battlefield and spent the next 150+ years living in a alternative fantasy world where they didn't get their asses kicked and the rest of America let them get away with that bs.

Ignorance is bliss I guess. I’m not getting in to this here. You wanna debate me on this, call me out.

All of what you said there can be traced to the actions by the federal government during Reconstruction.

African Americans are upset with whoever they're told to be upset with. It's sad and I don't want to believe it but it appears to be true. Al Sharpton forced the Democrat candidates to promise their support for reparations, one by one.
