[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The flag has been located at a Confederate war memorial since 2000. Furthermore, it's not on a pulley.  It's within view of the state house, not on the state house itself. It's on the northern end of the grounds.

T[b]he Confederate flag has a place at the Confederate war memorial - it's a piece of history. [/b]

If you want, you can totally re-write the public school history texts and completely eliminate it and the war. Me? I think it's more important for children to understand history.[/quote]

This may be true, but I would then argue that the Confederate war memorial does not belong on the living, active State House Grounds in 2015.

I think that's ridiculous. [/quote]

Would a Nazi War Memorial belong on the grounds of the Bundestag?[/quote]
Show me the 6 million blacks killed.  [/quote]

12.5 million were shipped from Africa, but only 10.7 million made it alive to the US.  So there's 2 million right there.  And then there's the fact that 10.5 million of them and generations of their children died in slavery, you moron.[/quote]

There's something I don't understand. If live was so idyllic in Africa, and so horrible in the US, why didn't millions of freed AAs go back to Africa after the Civil War? And what about today, when travel is so easy, and when holding an American passport is the ultimate global privilege?

After all, given the Nazi analogy PP makes, that's precisely why Israel was created and why so many people moved there. What makes AAs just talk, and not walk the talk?[/quote]

So, that's a polite way of saying that we did them a favor by enslaving them?  Try that one out on your black friends, at work.  Let me know how it goes.[/quote]
