Do we now ban all things Africa?
Funny how when the hatred and vitriol com efrom the left, there is no outrage and call to ban things.
Racism exist.....ad there it is.

Would this guy not fit the description of the obviously mentally deranged people that we should spotting BEFORE they commit violence?
Would you libs be opposed to having this guy arrested and investigated for mental capabilities based on his violent words? Or should be just ban something, or pass tougher laws about something?
I think he should be placed under 72 hour observation.

That's about as right as you can get it.

Apple has removed all Civil War games from the App Store because they display the Confederate flag in "offensive and mean-spirited ways..."

The local waffle-diner has removed their James Earl Ray posters stating it could be offensive to some.
This is getting to be absurd. Expect a push-back.

That's pretty insane, but not unexpected coming from Apple.
Next, all WWII video games and all WWII movies will be scrubbed of the Nazi flag...
You idiots out there...and you know who you are...you are NOT creating a better world through censorship...you're just not.

I have only lived in the South for 4 of my 54 years. There are so many civil war era monuments and plaques here in Central Virginia it would blow your mind. By looking at everything you would think the South won the war, not lost it. I think for many the confederate flag represents telling the federal government to shove it, that state's rights are important and has nothing to do with racism.
On the other hand when it does represent racism why would anyone want to stop that expression? If I am a black guy whose car breaks down and my cell phone is dead, I sure would not want to knock on a house's door in the middle of the night that has a confederate flag flying in the yard. If I am the same guy and some dude with a swastika tattoo offers me a lift I think I would pass. If people want to advertise their beliefs, let them do it. It is better for us all to find out sooner than later.

Virginia's nothing. I had an ex gf from Tennessee and she used to go to Bedford Forrest National Park.

What I am saying is that the racism, hatred, segregation, brutality against blacks in our country is the responsibility of the Democrat Party and in its DNA.
These Democratic political 'heroes' and their decendents were proven to be racist, vulgar people and the liberal ideology that exists today, right here and right now, is what's behind the lie that says the Confederate Flag is the cause of all this.
I am saying all that and additionally saying that same Confederate Flag was proudly waved cheering on black athletes such as Herschel Walker, George Rogers and others.
Sorry if you can't see the same things I see but to me it's very clear.

That's the keynote that liberals, particularly black leaders fail to grasp. Perhaps they do, but creating havoc outweighs their true sentiment in dealing with race issues. I have had several friends over the past several years that used to argue with me tooth & nail on the subject. Slowly they've changed their positions and are now as prejudice if not more so than me (admitting I'm prejudice should be no breaking news at PA).
As prejudice as I may seem, the truth is I don't want to be. What a wonderful productive country it would be if racism didn't exist. Unfortunately it's only getting much worse. Unfortunately we've likely sank to a level beyond repair.
This here at home along with our dire situation abroad trying to fight terrorism equates to really bad news down the road. I'd hate to be able to look into the future. What an ugly scene.

Racism in this country has been institutionalized to some extent since its inception. What good does trying to draw up political lines accomplish? Is it just so you can breathe a sigh of relief that you aren't the culprit? I know of racists that are liberal, conservative, communist, anarchist, totalitarian, and everywhere in between. We can go tit for tat with people from across the spectrum that are racists... But what does that really have to do with anything?
A cursory glance would draw the conclusion that one party exploits blacks while the other disenfranchises them... It might also conclude that 70 years ago those roles were reversed but who really gives a shit? Racism is bad whether it's a donkey or elephant committing it no?
