“...evokes pain among some Americans...”
Deal with it and STFU. The 24 Smurfs evoke pain in my a$$.
Betsy Ross is an American Hero
Julian Castro is an American Zero!
Last time I checked the centennial ended in 1965.
Other states also flew the CBF over their statehouses in the 1960s and have taken it down since -- that didn't start with Haley.
Whatever the deal with Confederate flags is, this has gotten ridiculous, and ridicule is the best response to it at this point.
I wanted to share something that my husband, who is a descendant of Betsy Ross, wrote about her and her family:
“Betsy Ross was reared in a Quaker Family, and educated accordingly. Because of Quakers like her family and William Penn(sylvania), much of the State, especially the Western frontier, was anti-slavery.
One branch of the Rosses settled in a little crossroads named Pittsville, which was on the very route escaping slaves took to Canada—and, thus, it was also called Freedom, and is so named on maps today. The route, of course, was called the Underground Railway.
Those same Rosses—being direct kin of Betsy’s first husband, whose brother Thomas Ross signed the Declaration of Independence—hid (and fed and sheltered) escaping slaves in their cellars until the moon provided light for them to continue their journey. There was a risk for the Rosses and like-minded neighbors because there were pro-slavery sympathizers about.
Our Grandfather told us all this: The Rosses were his maternal grandparents, and raised him from childhood when his father passed away. Grandpa was proud of the Rosses and their courage, and proud of Betsy and her flag.
Thank you Betsy, thank you.”
Happy 4th of July, Patriots
Harris/Castro 2020.
I was wondering how can Julian Castro compare the Betsy Ross flag with the Confedrate flag, but then I remembered he was a democrat. Democrats say all kind of weird things. They are known for that. Still Betsy Ross’s flag, our first national symbol against the Confederate flag, you gotta be a real dipstick.
Sure, Dems, run in 2020 on bashing Betsy Ross and abolishing ICE. Good luck with that.
I warned assholios here
Enjoy it
You thought it was just fine when it was my region my culture my ancestors that was deconstructed
I detest people of any color and any party that deride the Dixie and America
Any freeper who still thinks you can appease minorities by demonizing the South and now colonial America in general is a worthless POS
Houston opposed Slavery. He was a minority in the Texas independence bunch not that I care one whit about slavery or guilt thereof
You can’t have it both ways
South bad
Betsy Ross good
It makes me ill to see so many foreigners sitting in the House and Senate. They know nothing about America, they loathe America, and they’re making our laws.
Meanwhile, many in this movement are worshipers of mass-murderer Mao tse-Tung. 50-60 MILLION, if not more, died living under Mao's communist rule. In fact, the communist-revolutionary, domestic terrorist, cop-killing, Black Panthers, that Nike's boy Colin Kaepernick thinks so highly of were Maoist. Nearly all the communists in and around today's demonRat party are Maoist.
"Huey Percy Newton (February 17, 1942 – August 22, 1989) was an African-American political activist and revolutionary who, along with Bobby Seale, co-founded the Black Panther Party in 1966. He continued to pursue an education, eventually earning a Ph.D. in social philosophy.[1][2] In 1989 he was shot and killed in Oakland, California. ..."
"As a student at Merritt College in Oakland, Newton became involved in politics in the Bay Area. He joined the Afro-American Association (AAA), became a prominent member of Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, Beta Tau chapter; and played a role in getting the first African-American history course adopted as part of the college's curriculum.
He read the works of Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Frantz Fanon, Malcolm X, Mao Zedong, Émile Durkheim, and Che Guevara.
During his time at Merritt College, he met Bobby Seale, and the two organized the Black Panther Party for Self Defense in October 1966.[3]"

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES
"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey [Newton] rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo [the police].
Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.
The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."
To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

Below are the names and photos of 35 Police Officers who were murdered by the Black Panthers and the subsequent Black Liberation Army in the 60s, 70s and 80s [click link for list and details].
The Black Liberation Army was an organization that grew out of the Black Panther Party, composed of former Black Panther Party members, operating from about 1971-1980. Another two police officers on the list were murdered by the Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist group with ties to the Black Liberation Army.
Despite this readily available information, today the internet was full of articles criticizing those who were upset by Beyonce’s Super Bowl Halftime performance, and questioning how anyone could be upset over a woman “affirming her blackness.” Their analysis couldn’t have been more off.
We have no issues with someone “affirming their blackness” or any other identity they want to affirm. We do take issue when people pay homage to a group that used terrorism and violence to promote racism and revolutionary socialism – a group that murdered dozens of police officers in cold blood.
As you scroll through the list of officers below, look at their photos and read their stories. Among these officers are black men and white men. Rookies and veterans from across the country. Most were killed in unprovoked attacks and ambushes. They all left behind families….
Perhaps Beyonce, someone from the NFL, and someone representing CBS, could read through this list and tell us if they still stand by their decision to honor the Black Panthers during the Super Bowl. Then perhaps they could explain their answers to the surviving wives and children of these fallen officers. ...”

Julian Castro is WELL KNOWN here in The Alamo City as a DUMB-bunny, “a fool in the public view” & an empty-head.
(It just goes to show you that just because a person graduated from college that they may have actually learned ZILCH.)
Yours, TMN78247
Didn’t mean u personally
Agreed. Bet Larry Tate (Darren Stephens’ boss on “Bewitched”) would be proud of advertising job for the Democrats that ones like Castro, AOC, and Omar have done.
Castro Assho
Washington Post, Sept 2016
Rapinoe says it is important for white and black athletes to stand together
On Sunday, Rapinoe said her gesture was a nod towards Kaepernick.
“It was very intentional,” Rapinoe told American Soccer Now after the game.
“It was a little nod to Kaepernick and everything that he’s standing for right now.
I think it’s actually pretty disgusting the way he was treated and the way that a lot of the media has covered it and made it about something that it absolutely isn’t.
