You know I'm not saying other wise.
I'm just telling you, there are a lot of blacks, people who don't wear Malcolm X shirts or even get into politics at all, that fear the CBF.
I just think we should be aware and help educate.
The other thing I like to say in reply to this is that Jim Crow has been dead for over 50 years.
Is it possible for all of us to keep our history but still live together as neighbors and friends in the South?
They all agree to this.
Now, understand, I'm talking to normal, non-radical, intelligent black people.
More over, given all the other positions these folks have on social issues (abortion, God, work over welfare) they are natural conservatives, not liberals.
God's harvest, for whoever takes this on.
Hmm, so by your reasoning, even the founding of The Marine Corps and all of it’s pre-1788 symbolism should be destroyed as well? I mean, wasn’t the corps founded to be a part of an, at that time “illegal”, rebellion?
Nailed it.
Is it just a matter of time before Fort Hood is renamed?

As well as many others.....

Sooner or later, following this logic the Iwo Jima memorial will be found insensitive to the interned Japanese Americans, and our allies in the Pacific Region, and will have to be purged.
So I guess you’ve completely written off blacks as Americans?
How would you teach them about the past?
Would you say it all was a lie? That they’re fools to believe it?
“...IS this the same CMC ...”
The jarf is one and the same.
I have the utmost respect for the Corps....hut a bad apple will slip through now and then.
Sorry to hear that you weren’t/aen’t troubled by the Obama/federal government 8 years and counting reign of terror. That’s also what the South was dealing with at the time.
The poseur Obama gave him his third star. Unfortunately, Trump gave him his 4th,
Extract: “There are several military bases named after confederate generals. Fort Benning, Fort Bragg, Fort Hood, Fort Lee, Fort Gordon, Fort Pickett (of Pickett’s Charge fame), Fort Polk. I’m sure there is a couple more. What happens with the names of these bases?”
Absolutely nothing happens to those and the other 3 US Army forts named after Confederate Generals.
It is too bad that the author shows his ignorance regarding one fact: The Commandant of the Marine Corps orders do NOT affect US Army forts, posts, and installations. There are no USMC camps named after Confederate officers, most of whom were formerly US Army officers before they resigned their commissions and accepted new ones from the CSA.
Unfortunately, there are some on here...I won’t mention the name (OIFVeteran)...who disagrees with Ike and prefers ISIS, antifa approach to destroying cultural and historical statues, monuments, artifacts,traditions, symbols, history, valor etc.
“And revolution is treason.”
Do you apply that to the Revolutionary War too? I guess it was but there is righteous “treason”...such as the revolution and secession and then there is the evil criminal treason of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, the Obama administration, democrat politicians etc.
I never imagined that I would call a Commandant of the Marine Corps a “disgusting sissy”, but I’ve said that multiple times about this pathetic excuse for a Marine.
For those who say, “there is no such thing as an ex-Marine,” that may be true, for now. As soon as this politically-correct wimp retires to teach Gender Studies, he will be an ex-Marine.
He’s very Pope-like, this one.
Yes, what the founders did was treason, against the British Crown. When they invoked the natural right of revolution and rebelled you then have to look at why they did it to see if they were morally justified in their actions. Let’s do this by comparing the American Revolution with the southern rebellion.
RW = the Revolutionary War, ACW = the American Civil War.
The rebelling party was a full member of the body politic:
RW: no. ACW: yes
The rebelling party had willfully and freely entered into the government from which it was rebelling:
RW: no. ACW: yes
The rebelling party had access to full representation on the national stage:
RW: no. ACW: yes
The rebelling party had attempted to have their grievances redressed, and hostilities began before they declared separation and independence:
RW: yes. ACW: No
The rebelling party began their rebellion after losing a free and fair election in which they were a full participant:
RW: no. ACW: yes
The rebelling party made clear in their documents of separation that their main concern was protecting chattel slavery of the African race:
RW: no. ACW: yes
The rebelling party made clear their right to separation through war and de facto independence:
RW: yes. ACW: no
As you can see there is absolutely no comparison between what our founding fathers did in 1776 and what the southern rebels did in 1861.
Add to his feminist shit yesterday
Oh he’ll have folks here applauding him
They are on my homepage
Progressives infect this place always have
And their cover has ALWAYS been that we are racists
40% of Mississippi blacks voted to keep the flag despite intense northern media pressure
Mississippi blacks > Alabama blacks perhaps
