​Sounds like you are a member of the Tennessee Freedom Coalition. You sound just like'em

​Typical O'reilly maybe? No confirmation. Yellow Journalism at its best.

​A very pathetic statement from you.

Whats getting scary is that smitty's post are beginning to get responses now. Thats scary. The conservative tide on this forum is supporting this dude's thought process.

Must have been a full moon out.

​So, why aren't yall making noise about Chicago and other urban areas to help eradicate the killings there?

​Cuban-Americans can now see their families, sheez...smh!! I miss the rolling eyes emoji

​So, you want equal representation?

Shoot, I bet most of yall didn't like the Cuban agreement. But thats another thread.

​If Iran does not live up to the agreement, the inspectors will let us know and we will build up the sanctions against Iran again. Its a good deal if you read the agreements.

​Why? The GOP have those loonies in the race and they are running in circles.

So, to clarify your comment, yes you do have a white man for a holiday

Oh, remember Columbus Day is a Federal Holiday. Like MLK, in some states, the schools do close.

​So, it sounds like we agree on ??? Well, hold on a minute! I agree its okay to fly the confed flag OTHER than public facilities. So, do you agree that these flags should be flown at their respective state capitols? And if so, why?

​Why? Thats what I'm trying to understand. Please answer. Maybe what yall are saying is that yall want the same "respect" and media attention? 'Dont forget about us white citizens." If so, then I can understand that feeling.

​I'm sure yall will agree that we all live off certain principles everyday. Some of us have principles that are traditional, historical, & spiritually connected to our past, present & future. In so many words, you are saying get over it. Please do not minimize our principles. There is a history in this country of certain people minimizing the contributions towards its so-called minority citizens. I respectfully don't care if you have your flag on your truck, golf cart, or museum. Not on public /govt. property. So yes, the flag is a BIG-G-G-G issue to many of us from different races. Answer me this question: Why should I be very proud to get a day off @ MLK ? And to answer your question, yes I am very proud and happy to get that holiday. Aren't you proud to have that day off as well? I guess you forgot Christopher Columbus is a federal holiday. But its kinda like MLK Day, some observe it and some don't.

​Which one? Now I did call the eldest one an old geezer this morning

​I just saw this a few minutes ago. But I would like to ask a question along with a comment to get some understanding. First of all, I usually don't condone violence 99.9% of the time. I'm not white so I wasn't sure what all the fuss was about. Sorry to hear this young lady was killed. Don't take my question as being too insensitive but I don't see the fuss other than right-wingers pushing an agenda for fear towards (Hispanic) immigrants. Seems to me its not about the woman but your agenda for Hispanic immigrant reform. So whats really got yall turned up?

​As usual, go ahead and try to minimize the issue. You dare think its all comparable to a sporting event? I wonder how long it took you to realize that MLK Holiday was for all people, and not just a Black holiday, as most of you people felt?

The South Carolina secession convention’s final and authoritative statement was published on Christmas Eve, 1860. It concerned itself entirely and exclusively with slavery—not tariffs or abstract principles. Another reason why the flag is associated with these terrorist , then & now.

With all the conversation surrounding the confederate flag, heroes or rebels, I ran across a very interesting article with eyewitness accounts from a British spy. The article also touches on the forum's so-called 3% of slave owners & how they controlled the events leading up to the war. [Hidden Content]

​And thats your best answer? Okay!!

​Missing my point. Those same folk at Evadale are against American Isis supporters but there is no big difference between them and southern armies in the civil war. They both went against their country. There you have it.

​BS, a question to you. When was slavery abolished in the North?

​I've moved on. But when I see that flag it brings back the memories of days past when my people were hung a mere 45 years. But again, my only concern is not having it on public property.
