WTF. College BBall Players Kneel to American Anthem Protesting Nearby Confederacy Rally

[bullwinkle]

Let'em kneel and ignore them. To kneel at the flag thinking it is sending a message is just stupid but I for one do not care and giving these retards this much attention is beyond stupid...

The kids likely have zero clue what the Civil War was all about. It went well beyond just slavery

Sassy,

Most people do not know what the War of Insurrection was about!

Hell many of them confused Lee battle flag for the Confederate Flag, so ya know they failed U.S. History...

Yesterday on Fox, they had a segment about a group of college students (I forget where) tore down a statue of General Lee. Funny thing about it was the General Lee was a WWII general.

There is a statue to a WWII general? Is there a statue of Ike or Patton or Bradley or Marshall? But there is a Statue to some guy named Lee of WWII fame? I'd sure like to hear more about this. Guess I'll check out the Fox blurb.

I found the Fox blurb. Looks like these kids are either dumb as a box of hammers, or there is more to the story. PS: Great statue!

Vandals damage statue of Gen. Lee, except this one fought in WWII

So are they protesting against the first amendment?

Do they not realize that the first allows them to protest?

OK, you dont like the Confederacy for whatever jack ass reasons you have,

I know, right? I can’t imagine why any black American would have a problem with the confederacy. That’s just insane

Yeah, I mean blacks fought for the South, many slaves voluntarily worked to protect their homes and lands.

Why cant libtards understand that stopping Sherman and other invading Union armies outweighed preserving slavery for most people in the South?

But some hate the South anyway because they are ignorant, but WHY PROTEST AGAINST THE BANNER OF THE ARMIES THAT REANNEXED THE SOUTH AND ENDED SLAVERY THERE?

That makes ZERO sense in the real world.

Many of the American colonists fought on the side of the British during the Revolutionary War -- but we don't honor them either....why should we need to honor the side who lost trying to maintain slavery?
