Removal of the Confederate Flag

[NowhereInTime]

That HAS TO BE that BIGGEST TURD OF SHIT you ever passed through you mouth?

Moment of weakness and pollyannish dreaming on my part.  I should have known better than to hope for anything more than your usual bile/hatred/anti-American vitriol.

I'm in favor of dismantling the global caste system before worrying about skin color. Do you get distracted from real issues much when you're reading books, too?

Yes, the global caste system does need dismantling.  I fail to see, however, why there is such resolute disregard for the Elephant in the Room that is institutional, racism, misogyny, and homophobia?

I get distracted visiting this website and witnessing the witless crap all over everything they fear and fail to understand.  This is my walk in the park.

Perhaps the Royal Order of Jesters holds a clue. It's not like you're not on to something there.

Apparently Morris Dees*^ and his SPLC is going after all remaining Confederate symbols, memorials, plaques, statues, etc. Who knows what history will be on the chopping block of political correctness and historical revisionism....lots of dead white guys out there in our past that need to be eliminated from history.

^ google the Dees divorce papers. Ugly but divorces often are, but if the testimony is true one wonders why there weren't criminal charges also.,
This is a weird blast from the past I saw on the youtubes

NOLA votes to eliminate all Confederate symbols. Deal with all the crime? Corruption? Poverty? Crappy schools? Rebuild devastated areas? Protect against next flood? Nah, spend tax dollars and time on removing art and names.
