Do You Believe The Confederate Flag Is Racist? Should It Be Banned?

[Auto Donk]

fuk u all........ im still promoting slavery......

[daneblazer]

I am going to try to hit up Doak Campbell for a couple games this coming year

Lmk, I'll try to meet up. Home schedule kinda shitty this year. Going to try to take the little blazer to his first game this year.

[Ra77er]

Donk goodness man, settle down.

[bigtymer56]

Why such an uproar over a piece of cloth?

Im sure if one of your neighbors was flying a nazi flag across the street from your house you would just ignore it. Whats the big deal?, right?

[stevenash]

This would mean Walmart's entire inventory..

I knew there was something else besides monopolizing as to why I hate Walmart...

Walmart is the biggest plantation ever to exist on Earth

And its not even fukkin close........

You wanna see a symbol worse than the confederate flag?

Of course you hate Walmart, you hate capitalism, you hate America.
Plaintation? Walmarts grows crops in their stores?
News to me.

Why do you have such a problem with a man who took his mom and pop store and made it into the worlds largest private corportation?
Sammy mission statement was sell products at low prices to get higher volume sales at a lower profit margin.

Oh, I am so sorry Pauly, did I offend you with the 'p' word?
Profit.

So far sounds to me like Sammy had a rock solid plan 50 years ago.
Like many new business start ups Sammy encountered trouble too.
Like the mean old land owners that owned the real estate that Sammy had his store(s) on were charging him ridiculously high costs on the lease(s)
So good old Sammy found lower cost suppliers than used by other stores and passed on the savings in the product pricing.

Funny how the libtards gloss over all the positives about Walmart.
They are the worlds largest corportation that employ the most citiziens.
You don't like the wages they pay, then work someplace else.
Walton's plays by the rules, they pay the required wages set by law.
If you can't gain employment anywhere else, learn a skill, go to school and get some education.
Why anybody would want to make stock person or cashier at a Sears or Walmart or a Target a career choice is beyond me anyway.

Don't give me any of the libtard "big box is making the mom and pop store extinct" rhetoric either.
Big Box isn't the first threat to come along to mom and pop stores.
Railroad boom over a century ago threatened the mom and pop stores.

Mom and pop has to adapt.
Change is good (well except for Obama) by the way.

How can mom and pop exist in the big box era you wonder?
The ansswer is simple, in one word, internet.

Pintrest, Instagram, etc. etc.
Ecommerce is the way to go if mom and pop wants to beat Best Buy and Walmart.

I don't have the time to teach you everything, I just have a few more points about your arch enemy Walmart.
They give more to charity than any other private corporation, more than Mobil, more than Goldman Sach, more than anybody, period.
Like 1/3 of a billion dollars to charity.
Who gave the most to Katrina's victims? Walmart would be the correct answer.

Bash Walmart all you want.
You don't like their business practice, fine, don't shop there.
You don't like their employmet practices, fine, don't work there.

Don't give me they are pure evil bull shit, to call them evil is ignorant.
Their mission is not to put mom and pop out of business, if mom and pop want to beat Walmart, adapt.

Sammy adapted 50 years ago, so can mom and pop.

One last thing.
The next socialist country that succeeds will become the first socialist country that succeeds.

Keep banging the drum Pauly, anytime you want an economics lesson, look me up.

Maybe, i've been brainwashed as a black northern liberal, but when I think about that flag, first thing that comes to mind is this:



instead of this:

[PittsburghPlayer]

So if only AMERICANS that SAY they"do not approve of or LOVE slavery" because of the products they but, does that mean you love slavery because you buy those same products?
Did mom or pop make your iPad, phone, computer or whatever device you're expressing yourself with on SBR?
Or you don't approve of slavery but still use products that might be produced in FORCED labor countries?

I was only trying to make people aware that here in America we absolutely exploit people to maintain our lifestyles. And of course I am guilty as well.

[stevenash]

Bigtymer?
You have a problem with Tom Petty?

[stevenash]

I was only trying to make people aware that here in America we absolutely exploit people to maintain our lifestyles. And of course I am guilty as well.

You make it seem like exploit is a bad word.
Why wouldn't one take advantage of the resources available to them.

[PittsburghPlayer]

I think PP is saying at least be aware of what you are doing when you buy products made with slave labor wages. There may be little choice, and buying things that are made only by workers that are paid fairly may be nearly impossible in the world as it exists today. But, know that you are supporting slavery in many ways with the purchases you make.

Yes, thank you.

[PittsburghPlayer]

Exploit AND take advantage of are not the qualities of a civilized nation/man, in any manner, but when its human beings being exploited...

[The Kraken]

Yes. If we get rif of the comfederate flag, it will cure recism

[stevenash]

Exploit AND take advantage of are not the qualities of a civilized nation/man, in any manner, but when its human beings being exploited...

Well then we have two very different definitions of the word exploit.
The way you apply the word I agree with it.

[The Kraken]

Exploit is a term utilized and appropriated by the republican party. In fact, it is in their motto

"Exploit anyone and everyone for anything and everything they have"

[GT21Megatron]

Yes. If we get rif of the comfederate flag, it will cure recism

You don't really think that do you? You're smarter then that

[stevenash]

Yes. If we get rif of the comfederate flag, it will cure recism

Nobody is born a racist.
Baby Janice doesn't come out of the womb hating on Baby Monique because Baby Monique in the next hospital infant crib has a darker skin color.

Somebody has to tell or teach baby Janice that darker skinned infants are inferior to her.

When we stop teaching racism, then racism ends.

[stevenash]

You don't really think that do you? You're smarter then that

Toungue in cheek sarcasm is not your forte is it?

[GT21Megatron]

Well when you got a person running the United States of America who hangs out with one of the biggest bigots walking the planet in Al Sharpton and jumping the god damn gun on high profile race cases only to come to find out that none of the shit was actually true it sure as shit doesn't help matters. They don't even apologize or do follow up interviews. It just gets swept under a rug like it never happened like T-Wizzles air bets. If I was black I would be super embarrassed about all this shit that has gone down the past 1-2 years.

[The Kraken]

You don't really think that do you? You're smarter then that

No,it was tongue in cheek. Just making a point the flag isnt the issue, the issue is racist people and getting rid of the flag will do nothing to cure that. Only education and the continuation of integration.

I personally believe we are getting near the end of racism.

I know its hard to see now but look where we've come from.

My god honest opinion, the problem is the white man(not all obviously). We've had our turn chance to run this country and we ended up bigots, sexists and racists.
Ultimately, we need more women, blacks, mexicans, asians and gays runni g this countey

But this scares the shit out of most white men

I know its hard to see now but look where we've come from. Look at the public outcry from blacks, whites, mecicans etc....

My god honest opinion, the problem is the white man(not all obviously). We've had our turn chance to run this country and we ended up bigots, sexists and racists. Completely destroyed integrity

Blacks are really quick to pull the race card bro. Real quick. I know most blacks that are not business professionals do not care for white people. The whites that don't care for blacks are dying off slowly but surely. The young ones that are white and racist were obviously brought up with that close to them and that's a problem.

It isn't "greed is good"?

Good night America, Nasher bed time, gotta make those American dollars in the morning,

[The Kraken]

I edited my post, you caught my pre-edited, just for the record.

Blacks are wuick to pull the race card I agree but I think theres a reason for that. Imagine, your entire life being viewed through the lense of race. Your entire identity is being black. Mine is a multitude of other things but being white, although it is one thing I am, it is not one of the first things I associate with.

Blacks, the first thing they are is black.

But I think this is changing.

The worst thing we have going for us rigt now isnt whites or blacks or gays and trannies, its the media.

[The Kraken]

Nasher we'll chat later

Good night

It's only 8pm here

[Axman3000]

The flag symbolizes southern pride and it has ALWAYS symbolized southern pride and freedom. Slavery was wrong and the south was wrong for promoting slavery but the flag was never intended to symbolize slavery. If a flag was made that featured a black man in chains I can understand the issue but the Confederate flag was made for the south as a whole and not slavery.

[PittsburghPlayer]

I appreciate that our views are different and that you express yourself with decency and class.
Thanks MonsterNashMan!
actually you are a smart man, bet we are more alike than otherwise.

[GT21Megatron]

[survive]

Why such an uproar over a piece of cloth?

Because everyone needs to fukking bitch about something today. Seriously, how many people sincerely care about this shit all of a sudden? Social media/mainstream media is outraged about something new every other week it seems

[Ra77er]

I really like the kraken.

What a great post.

Donk goodness man, settle down.

it's a feeding frenzy, what can i say...... Summer H-town heat brings the subs out in droves.....

check out my new coffee table..... my wife picked it out..... a good rule in a marriage: always let your wife come to the decision on matters like these:

[zert]

You have got to be kidding if anybody knows how to exploit people it is liberal democrats.

[PittsburghPlayer]

You have got to be kidding if anybody knows how to exploit people it is liberal democrats.

For crying out loud, BOTH PARTIES LIE/exploit people.

[Auto Donk]

For crying out loud, BOTH PARTIES LIE/exploit people.

perhaps, but I have never seen any black person, dating back to the first slave ship that pulled up in the port of charleston, made into a f'n coffee table........

[PittsburghPlayer]

Nope, just human captives in the name of greed huh?

[Auto Donk]

Well, on the recommendation of some people less liberal than myself when it comes to accepting butch lesbians, I hired a few of them to take care of a few things around DonkLand.....

we'll have to see if they are, in the words of my close-minded associates, "meaner than junkyard dogs."

I plan to literally test this theory, as I have the carpet munchers on Security Detail, which of course BongoQualia oversees:
