The country united in solidarity with the people of the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal . Only the emperor with his blatantly racist comment to the pod-cast WTF ;and the Democrats are stoking the race card trying to divide the country .

Yes I can understand why he is angry, no doubt he has faced blantant racism many times in his career. The civil war was over a long time ago but the ideas behind it haven't died. We all have to deal with the problems that various races represent and it isn't easy not to be angry and that goes for both sides of the argument

You may not be willing to listen Tom, but thankfully Gov.Halley, and most of the GOP presidential hopefuls are. You cannot recognize and eliminate hidden/institutional racism if you don't acknowledge blatant racism, when it rears its head.

That's what Obama was bluntly telling you. Even HF Carson played the "race card" too, huh?

Nikki Halley is right about the flag . It is a flag of treason. Note that it will take a Republican Governor to end it's days of flying at the State House .

Nikki hadn't planned to remove the flag, but the pressure got to be too much for her.

She originally was against the idea -- proud Southern (SC) tradition. Lindsey Graham is against it. too.

So you think there something wrong with a person of colour using that term. I expect it is in general use among them and if they could think of a good term for you they would use it, how about cack. And yes that rebel flag has been a sign of defiance and it should have been retired long ago

maybe it wasn't that big a deal until the Dems decided to link the flag to a crazed doped up nut job . I'll say it again . The country united behind the church ,and the Dems have been doing everything they can to link the killing to the Republicans.

But if the confederate flag is a litmus test then perhaps we should examine Bubba Clinton's record while Governor . As an example . He proclaimed that the State would celebrate Jefferson Davis day on the same day as Martin Luther King Day.

Bubba never moved to remove the stars and bars from Arkansas state flag. On the contrary ;the flag was redesigned to celebrate the Confederacy . He signed Act 116 which designated the blue star above the name Arkansas to commemorate the CSA .
He also made no secret that he considered segregationist William Fulbright his mentor .
Robert Byrd was a senior Senator from 1959 -2010. He came to the Senate as a recruiter for the KKK ,eventually rising to the rank of Kleagle and Exalted Cyclops in the Klan .
I could go on and on. The Progressive's champion Woodrow Wilson resegregated the military and was an unabashed racist . You get my point. The Dems own racism and use it to divide the country .

of course I do . It's also completely beneath the office he holds for the emperor to use the word ;even if he was trying to make a point in using it.

talaniman · Jun 23, 2015, 05:16 PM

If you wouldn't wave a swastika in front of a Jewish person, why would you wave a confederate flag in front of a Black person?

What was his point? To be fair you have seldom given the "emperor" much credit for dignifying the office anyway. Quite the opposite.

Somewhat different significance Tal the confederacy didn't murder 12 million blacks and in saying that I am by no means endorsing slavery. It is very obvious that although the south lost the war, which wasn't altogether about slavery, they never lost the rebel spirit. They considered themselves different and probably still do. A little backward, perhaps? That bright blue star is as much a symbol of the south as the battle flag but it would not be as emotive an issue

And Bush's maligning of the English language made him appear like an ignoramus - where was your outrage then? LOL

tomder55 · Jun 24, 2015, 02:11 AM

which wasn't altogether about slavery

yes it was totally about slavery . Any other issue (excuse) you can point to goes right back to the slavery issue .

Completely different . This comment wasn't an off the cuff mistake . It was an intentional use of a word that would've prompted a demand of apolgy or removal from office by anyone else . This great uniter has done all he can to stoke division in this country .
