[BLUEDOVE3]

Personally, you can hang your confederate flag in your yard, boat, horse carriage, or in  Billy Bob Saloon.

Dove, why has this not been a large topic of discussion before now?

[BLUEDOVE3]

Nash, Its been a discussion for years.. I think we all can admit the "opportunity" to bring this issue back to the national forefront is now. Before we all get back comfortable again and be in denial about our race issues. 

[stevenash]

I guess I live a sheltered life.   Don't recall it ever being discussed by Governors, Senators, and Coporations simultaneously.

Dove, there are four Military bases in this country that are named after Confederate Generals.  These are Bragg, Hood, Pickett, and Hill.  Should there be a demand that these bases be renamed Ft. Caitlin,( as in Jenner)  Fort Sam ( as in Michael), Ft. Dolezal, and Ft. Belafonte?

​Hmmm? Were they patriots or traitors?

​What flag a state flies has nothing to do with the national forefront...it's the business of those in THAT state.

​Oh okay, just like Jim Crow laws. Ahh okay!!

​Yeah, same thing...smh.

[BLUEDOVE3]

And no, those Generals don't deserve an American military base named after them.

The south people forget that the south we're traitors to this nation and choose to spill blood and succeed from this nation why is we honoring them in any way. They don't deserve nothing nothing at all. They we're not heros. Says a lot about the south that in 2015 they're still those who think the should be honored they ain't fight for this nation they tried to kill it.

[stevenash]

Isnt it odd that nobody has brought this up before?   How far should we go with  these " I am offended" grievances?

Cant help but wonder why , in 1987, Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton( with Hillary by his side) signed Act 116 that stated " The blue star above the word ARKANSAS, is to commemorate the Confederate States of America

​You may get no comment from the left on this one...they will, however, still vote for hillary.

[stevenash]

I might hear someone suggest that the Clintons have "evolved" on this issue just as our President declared that he had done on a key issue.

[BLUEDOVE3]

​Yeah, same thing...smh.

​So, you were against the Feds stepping in and disrupting the Jim Crow laws?

[BLUEDOVE3]

Like oh Bubba would say, I got four words to answer that one... George Wallace!!! Stood at the door and proclaimed...!!!!!! BUT!!!!!! The man was eventually loved by southern Blacks. 

[LumRaiderFan]

​So, you were against the Feds stepping in and disrupting the Jim Crow laws?

​LOL...I don't think you believe I meant that for a second.

But so I am sure you get it...No, the Feds were absolutely right to step in because individual rights were being abused/denied.

That is something no state (or any other gov) has the right to do...not here, anyway.

What difference it makes who agree with it or not is that suppose to change anything why make this about dems or Republicans. The flag should come down you do not let your enemy keep waving it's flag.

​So who would you have make this call?

Should the fed gov step and tell a sovereign state what flag they can fly?

Why remove it, because you associate it with racism and slavery.  Sounds like you are as misinformed as millions is others as well as our ignorant govt. leaders.

I've seen the governor has called for it to be taking down also. I never said who's right it is to take down or keep up only it should be took down. They lost get over it. The south will not rise again.
