>>>>You don't have to be black, receive a lot of money, or make a lot of noise to find the flag offensive and support a boycott. I am a white male, only make noise here on the UT, don't receive any money for it, do not support Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton, and I want the symbol removed from the flag.

Sorry Doug, you must have missed something along the way. Well, a lot of things actually. I am not a liberal. Unless you consider those who don't like the Clintons, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and gun laws liberals. Pay attention.

>You obviously do not know much about what's going on in the 'hood do you? It's blacks that primarily kill blacks Chris. It's horrible but true. If you cannot face those facts there's no point really in continuing I suppose.

I am sure in lilly-white Utah you are frequently hangin' out in the hood. Word up. Kaysville is probably the center of the drug trade, huh?

And as far as blacks killing blacks: whites kill more whites, asians kill more asians, etc. Is there maybe just a slim possibility that blacks kill more blacks because they tend to live in proximity to each other, and socialize with each other more than other races? Just the same as caucasions and asians?

>The Brits were the primary force behind the slave trade or do you not know your history either? Sure there were white slaveowners here and, again, we all agree that was bad, but there were also black slaveowners too - or have you overlooked that too since it doesn't 'fit' a pre-judged view of the world?

Really? How so? Was it a bunch of British plantation owners in the South buying the slaves? Or maybe it American plantation owners who really didn't want slaves, but the British forced them to.

And the fact that there were black slave owners proves what? That the confederate symbol is not offensive? That is like saying that as a white, I should be offended by the Nazi swastika because I am also white.

>Chris, look past your anger and look at the facts...

As soon as you supply some, I'll take a look.
