I don't pretend to think racism itself is something new. It's been around since the beginning of time and I suspect it will be here to the end.I certainly NEVER heard any national complaints about it until now. Coincidentally I've noticed RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA has all but disappeared from the msm...
Ever heard of Dylann Roof?
What about him?
2015. "Hate crime". Went to a black church and mowed people down because he's a racist asshole. Left one alive as a witness.
Surrounded himself with Confederate flags, which became a flashpoint symbol for racism as a result.
Nikki Haley and the state legislature then took that flag down.
That's where it started.
OP seems to have "no memory" of that. I understand the memory is the second thing to go.
I suspect he won't respond to this, just as he didn't respond to the last time I shot down his selective memory bullshit.
Yeah, your timeline is off. People were protesting confederate flags before Dylan roof. Racists, white supremacists, nazi have hijacked the confederate flag long before Dylan Roof.
Having said that, one off attacks in years past are not an indication of a growing problem but rather a sign that some of the nuts are more insane than their counterparts. Those statues, flags & memorials are inanimate objects that have NO CONTROL over anyone who doesn't give them control.
If you want to find a reason to be offended one only has to leave their house or turn on the tv if they are that weak minded.
That doesn't in any way address "this Civil War bullshit" beginning in 2015 with Dylann Roof that you don't remember.
Does it.
Are you derailing your own topic?
