Breaking: Charleston SC, white male shoots 8 people at Souths oldest black church

[gipper]

It seems to me that it is OFFENSIVE enough for enough people that it should not
be used as a state flag or over a governmental building. I do not recall
the dukes of hazard other than it being a kind of silly----idiot adulation of goonish
behavior

well, it was a tv show.

harmless fluff, but the confederate flag was presented as a harmless symbol of southern regional pride in the show, painted by the main characters on their 1969 dodge charger, the general lee, who were presented as sympathetic characters.

and this was accepted without comment by the nationwide tv viewing audience and the population as a whole.

the "offense" people are now feeling is a recent creation having nothing to do with anything pre 1980s

Because most people understand that it was a fictional show.

The "Duke boys" were constantly breaking the law too. Should we say, since it was accepted on tv that we should allow people to ignore the law?

standard robin hood behavior, a well established cliche.

flying the confederate flag, not so much.

if it was as offensive as libs would have us believe today, then that show as done, would have never been approved, and if developed and shown would never have been accepted by the viewing audience.

instead it was a nation wide hit tv show.

because the american people of 1979 knew that the flag was a harmless symbol of regional southern pride.

Please stop with the "Confederate flag is OK because the Duke boys had one" argument

It really makes you look like a moron

bullshit.


it's a historical fact of the flag being accepted by the nation as a whole in recent memory.

this disproves your lib narrative of blacks and/or americans being soooooo offended by it because of something that happened in the past, because this offense was not present as recently as the 80s.

LeftNutter must cling to his left wing narrative to keep Blacks on the liberal plantation and voting D.

 

[paddymurphy]

how come if an Arab did what he did you call him a terrorist and if a black person did it you would call him a murderer but the media is calling you white guy mentally ill?

This guy is a nut jobber...but it is not a hate crime. No such thing. He is a common criminal. Black or White. An Arab launching an attack against a nation-state is a terrorist.

let's say a guy gets mad at another driver and shoots him. that's not a hate crime and that murder might get a 20 year sentence. but if the person is a known racist and goes out and kills a black person the circumstances are different. that person should get more years in jail because it's a hate crime.

in this situation it doesn't matter because hate crime or not this guy is going to get life in prison for the death penalty he will never see freedom again. Hate crimes are most important when determining whether the killer should get 20 years or more. do you understand this? Do you understand why we have hate crime laws? Because not all murders are equal

Not all murders are equal? That's just stupid on the face of it. What about assault's? Over 70 Whites were attacked during the "knockout game" and none of the Black perpetrators were prosecuted. Clearly these were racially motivated. But, when a White kid in Katy, Texas did the same to a Black man...Holder Justice Department pursued Civil Rights violation and possible hate crime offense. Therefore this makes "hate crime" laws racist and in my opinion %100 unconstitutional.

You lie so easily.

No, I'm simply stating the truth of the matter. Do not confuse realism with racism.

It is a lie that 70 black men were arrested for assaulting white people and not prosecuted. It is lie that Eric holder would have anything to do with prosecuting a simple assault. And it is a lie that a white man was charged with a federal crime for punching a black man. You can provide no links to prove any of that nonsense.

 

[paddymurphy]

Lets hear what Alex Jones has to say on the matter

Bite me LeftNutter.

You won't get the truth about his drug use from the MSM...now will we?

He was arrested once for possessing suboxone. That had nothing to do with this new hero to the rascist right killing innocent Christians in a church. Had this been a Muslim, you assholes would be screaming about rounding up any Muslim. How about we round up the white supremacist assholes who inspired him. We can start with a bunch of posters here.

Suboxone, big deal.
I often have Suboxone in my possession, See, I kidnap Heroin addicts ( they actually come willingly) and bring them to my home to get them clean. Since I cant just go out and get a prescription for suboxone, I end up illegally buying it in a place called Brooklyn Md. It has great value in stepping someone down from Heroin to totally clean if used properly.
I imagine that if I continue this, I will one day be busted for the same.
On a side note, to date I have helped 7 people get clean and so far they are staying that way. Worth the chances I think.
They get clean here without worrying about legal issues, then they move to a halfway house and begin working. Its very rewarding. Of course, prison is going to suck should I get caught.

And how many of those you helped went out and shot ten people? This guy was motivated by rascism, period. Blaming his drug use helps those who are themselves rascist feel better about sharing the views of this killer.

Blaming guns alone for his crimes helps the left paint the entire country with the same false sense of guilt.

I blame the president for creating this environment of hate. This is merely a predictable side-effect of it.

You can't live in a complete vacuum, liberal America, and be honest.

He created by being a black man elected president. That brought you cretins out of the holes you had been hiding in.

And in 1920 the swastika was still largely a religious symbol.

The confederate flag is a symbol of racism and hate. Whether it started out that way or was portrayed that way in a 70s sitcom is irrelevant.

People all over the nation today see it as a symbol of hate and racism.

the 1920s was before wwii.

the 1980s were after the civil war and the era of desegregation.

the confederate flag was accepted for generations, upto and past the 1980s as a harmless symbol of southern regional pride.

No, not by all. I know my parents were disgusted by it, because they had seen it waved in Mississippi by those hood wearing rednecks. People were just slower to protest or complain about it.

It has not been accepted by generations. It was never flown or displayed from the end of the war until the forties and fifties when it became a symbol of southern, racist opposition to federal civil rights laws and court decisions. It is they symbol of white supremacists and racists. People have been trying to have it removed from state flags for years and protest its use. You seem dumber than Boss Hogg's deputy.

it is not any past association with the klan that is the problem. the days of the klan were far closer in 1979 than today and the show was a huge hit without any controversy.

It has not been accepted by generations. It was never flown or displayed from the end of the war until the forties and fifties when it became a symbol of southern, racist opposition to federal civil rights laws and court decisions. It is they symbol of white supremacists and racists. People have been trying to have it removed from state flags for years and protest its use. You seem dumber than Boss Hogg's deputy.

if that was true then why did the america of 1979 not have a problem with it?

for someone as smart as you, that should be easy to answer.

It is. Most Americans did not watch that idiotic show. Those that did were, like you, too stupid to know the flag is a rascist symbol
