[quote=Anonymous][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]

There is so much fail in the above.  Try reading a history book instead of being histrionic.  Or moronic.  The below comes from a 2 second search on wikipedia about Liberia:

"As noted by researcher Washington Hyde, "Black Americans - who in the time of slavery[b] lost their original languages and much of their original culture, gained a distinctly American, English-speaking Christian identity, and had no clear idea of precisely where in the wide continent of Africa their ancestors had come from[/b] - were perceived by the natives of Liberia as foreign settlers. [b]Having an African ancestry and a black skin color were definitely not enough.[/b] Indeed, their settlement in Liberia had much in common with the contemporary white settlement of the American Frontier and these settlers' struggle with Native American tribes (...). The Liberian experience can also be considered as anticipating that of Zionism and Israel - with Jews similarly seeking redemption through a return to an ancestral land and similarly being regarded as foreign interlopers by the local Arab tribes. It would take Americo-Liberians a century and more to become truly accepted as one of Liberia's ethnic groups(...). [b]All of which certainly contributed to most Black Americans rejecting the Back-to-Africa option and opting instead for seeking equal rights in America.[/b]"[24]"[/quote]

What a great, and tiresome, example of talk talk talk talk talk.

The amazing thing is that someone believes it.[/quote]
