Southern University Racism Alive

[Michael The Disciple]

Racism is alive and well. It is sickening. A bit of a double standard about it tho. I have read about and seen numerous situations in recent years where gangs of blacks have beat people half to death. Also they have burned people to death and yet the national media never reports it.

But in this case its all over the news. Its all bad but we may as well be allowed to hear or see both sides of the spectrum.

I am glad this was!

To think that there are young people that think that this is a good thing to think and act this way-- smh.

I can clue you in a a few things caught on video. Numerous time videos have been made on school buses of black kids ganging up on one white kid while chanting racist slogans. No national outrage though. But we do see the white police officials tripping all over themselves to tell everyone, "We don't think this was racially motivated".

Yet I'm supposed to get all worked up about a few rude white jerks saying something in a relatively private setting? Nobody was beat up. Nobody was deprived of life, liberty and property. No flash mobs of whites beating up blacks. Black racism is right out in the open in the form of many rap tunes. People actually get rich off of it. No outrage.

But let a few very small minded people say something, and you get outraged?

Double standard.

Kaiser, you seem very humble; you gotta know a bleeding black person would bypass your door if there was a rebel flag in the window. I'm curious your justification for the identification with it; it must have another meaning for you.

Southern Pride and Heritage-- but I understand that certain white supremacist organizations uses it to promote their message too. I hate when they do that and I am not hateful about it, but I KNOW that some white people are hateful.

Agreed on all points.

That's because great minds think alike.

Because of the south's history.

They call themselves rebels.

Nope.

People were not hung from trees and burned alive at the same time while singing, "Glory Glory Hallelujah".

Bro, the south has a TERRIBLE HISTORY and many attrocities were carried out by people waving the stars and bars with pride.

I can't help but associate the confederate rag with the Jim Crow south, racial hatred and lynchings.

When I see that thing, that's what I see and think of.

It's a symbol of hate.

Numerous? Ok. I don't agree with you. Even if I did, wrong will always be wrong.

Great!

Then you both should be able to see very plainly how deeply that flag offends.
