re: Taking A Knee and The Confederacy

You've convinced me.

Now, not only would I like to see more NFL Kneelers BUT I WANT EVERY KNEELER TO ALSO WAVE A CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG AS THEY KNEEL DURING THE U.S. NATIONAL ANTHEM.

The documented truth about the Confederacy. Well done! It's not rocket science.

Truth About Confederacy

quote:

---

CONFEDERACY FOUGHT AGAINST THE UNITED STATES b/c they wanted to keep slavery and the newly elected U.S. President (Lincoln) didn't.

---

The south peacefully succeeded because we were being unfairly taxed and didn't receive our fair share of representation for it

Then Lincoln sent his gunthugs and we had to defend ourselves

quote:

---

I find it hilarious I see so many people saying individuals deciding to take a knee as a symbolic way of highlighting inequality are disrespecting the country. But have no problem whatsoever with people proudly celebrating confederate flags and symbolisms which represent treason to the highest degree.

What you're saying has some merit tbh, but you're generalizing all anti-kneeling people as being pro-confederacy which just isn't true. I personally don't like the kneeling and I think it's disrespectful. That's my opinion and I'm entitled to it just like those guys are entitled to kneel. However, I don't own or wave rebel flags and burn crosses. For me it's not a race thing, it's an American thing.

They Didn't Take A Knee

C'mon mom!

When you wake up from your illusion about the causes of the civil war read this.

a Quote from the speech given by the VP of the Confederacy

"The new constitution has put at rest, forever, all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institution -- African slavery as it exists amongst us -- the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution."

I'm so sick of hearing people's stupid opinions on this issue. The horse has been beaten into a pile of mush. Do you think you are saying something insightful or that hasn't already been said and discussed a million times? Nobody is stopping you or anyone else from kneeling. Kneel all you want and quit your bitching when people who think your protest is stupid and pointless react according to their opinions.

When I go to Wendy's, I'm not interested in hearing what the staff thinks about politics. Much the same for professional athletes. There opinions are worth as much to me as my local fry chef. If they use their time at work to make political demonstrations they will naturally turn customers away. The issue is really between the business and the employees. If the business is ok with the protests then problem solved. But customers are at liberty to take their time and money elsewhere as a result.

It's mind boggling to me that people keep mentioning "CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT!" as if it has some relevance to this subject. Congrats on letting everyone know you have no idea what you're talking about.

It amuses me they cry "I have a right to protest"

But when their protest is protested, the other guy apparently lacks the right.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from disagreement.

I don't care what good 'ole grandpaw told you ... the CONFEDERACY FOUGHT AGAINST THE UNITED STATES b/c they wanted to keep slavery and the newly elected U.S. President (Lincoln) didn't.

Read a book truth87... One of the determining factor for us wanting to succeed wasn't slavery in and of itself. More the unfair agriculture taxes the Fed was attempting to place on us. No doubt, the issue could have been solved without bloodshed, that fault lies with both North & South.
