I don’t support flying the confederate flag, but lets be realistic. Every state was racist back then. Slavery only played a small part in the south’s secession. There were plenty more factors involved. The flag meant a lot more to people than just a symbol to support slavery.

Though it would be the first time he’s beaten a black guy since Alan Keyes in 2008.

For God’s sake Holyfield, pull down on his trunks so we can answer that magic underwear question once and for all.

More like exercising the right to bare arms.

A GOPer is trying to keep the black man down while exercising his right to bear arms. What’s so fishy about that?

Good to hear from middle class America. Now, get of your asses and do something about it.

Thanks! I’ll put them in a savings account hopefully in a couple years they can become more points.
