The one picture to which Obama and #blacklivesmatter never point
Canada Free Press ^ | 06/23/15 | Judi McLeod

How is it possible that the 150-year-old Confederate flag that flies at the South Carolina Capitol tops alleged killer Dylann Roof as the main controversy in the tragedy?

President Barack Obama, capitulating South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, Al Sharpton and the rank and file of #blacklivesmatter seek to draw everyone’s attention to the wrong picture.

All of the above are pointing to the picture of the Confederate Flag, blaming it as the killer of nine innocent souls who came to pray at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church one week ago tomorrow.

As of today the Confederate Flag will be ripped down from its revered place on the grounds of the South Carolina State Capitol, and after 150 years, tossed into the dustbin of history. It’s okay to display the Confederate Flag, in your private backyard, says Nikki.

But all who do will soon be openly branded with the racism Obama claims that comes with their DNA.

I think all Golds Gyms need to be closed as the terrorist used it in his photo and it’s a hot bed of masculine activity.

“Looks like a crestfallen young Robert Redford.”

The man looks exactly like my son, same build, same estimated height, same color hair, same hair cut, face design exactly like him. Son is a director of documentary films and I have sent this page to him to look at this likeness to determine if it is him.

That is my son, it's too exact not to be right down to his hands. He was visiting me this past weekend. He is making a film in Colorado and came here for the weekend and now he's back in Colorado filming. I'll let you know what he says about that likeness.

As the government started sticking its nose into our tents and lives the use of the Confederate Battle Flag was simply used as a popularized emblem of defiance and protest. To many that display it that was never considered to be because one supported racism although some displaying it do. But those that do so also probably would deny supporting slavery of people of any form including people with black skin.

Use of it as a choice symbol of protest though, runs the risk of a viewer comming to that conclusion. But it should be pointed out that blacks also fought and died on the side of the Confederacy . In the view of the southerners while that greatest loss of life as a result of that conflict. It was not just about the abolition of slavery as it is currently being poltically correctly explained and used. And any move to ban its use should be considered a violation of the Constitutional free speech amendments.

I guess so, but it’s not a very good likeness.

The Confederate Flag killed those people because the murderer was pictured with that flag. One of those pics. he had shows him burning the US Flag. If we're getting rid of the Confederate Flag because it kills people, we should get rid of the US Flag cause it could burn people to death.

This dumping of the Confederate Flag because the killer had one, will go on to include every vestige of anything the killer has - Oh my, he has silverware in his house he bought from Target - everyone should get rid of all silverware from Target. He used Gillette Aftershave - Oh, my, get rid of all Gillette Aftershave.

I didn't have a Confederate Flag until last night when I ordered one before they are burned at the stake to eliminate them from this country.

By the way, if you say, “Obama said the “N” word”, doesn't saying “N” mean you just said the word because all knows what it means? I grew up in east Texas and I'm so old, I remember when I was a young child that was the word commonly used for that race of people. It didn't have a bad connotation to it in east Texas, it was just the name of that group of people.

I also remember when I was a counselor in schools, the name of that group of people was changing so rapidly, I didn't know which name to call these people. I had to write reports after psychological tests with this group of people, and I would question myself which word I should use not to offend this group of people.

In my adult life
