and what was the big dictation that came down in the end.....oh, you can't own slaves.....was their any other big issue that was forced upon the south after the war......I can't think of one.

Thanks for being a troll and getting your historical content from Fox news.....

“how they should live their lives” = slave-owning and the concomitant de jure white supremacy.

Most of the Ordinances of Secession (SC’s for instance) specifically reference slavery as a compelling factor for secession.

That is indeed a very good justification. Since this is about Texas, remember, imagine the state government deciding they didn’t want to, say, discuss anything about Democrats.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE! Saying “to the south, the flag never represented slavery, it represented their fight to maintain ‘states rights’ is total and utter bullshit. If me, a Jew, sees someone wearing a swastika and they tell me it’s not about the Holocaust, but about the unification of the German people ...…

But don’t “state rights” = slavery in this case? I mean, you can put it in a way that sounds politically pleasing but that doesn’t change the bottom line...

It’s the flag of a treasonous terrorist group that tried to overthrow the USA.

to the south, the flag never represented slavery, it represented their fight to maintain ‘states rights...Even though it’s original meaning had nothing to do with slavery.

“Justice Samuel Alito wrote the dissenting opinion; he claimed that the majority decision “establishes a precedent that threatens private speech that government finds displeasing.”’

The Right to Free Speech doesn’t give people the right to force others— individuals, businesses, organizations or other institutions— to be complicit in aiding the dissemination their message.

FFS. Some of my heritage is southern. Certainly, there were some beautiful things about the old south. However, I’d say it safe to say that human fucking slavery really leaves a bad taste in people’s mouths. Why can’t people just quit with the goddamn confederate flag already? Even if you think it stands for the GOOD…

Wow, a lot of assuming in your comment. All I’m saying is that this is a reach for a white cop vs black citizen issue. That’s all, calm your nerves. The media has been cramming this agenda down our throats, and this is just a filler blog to keep it fresh in our minds. It gets clicks. The fucked up thing is that when I…

it would be like if a man chose to become a woman but never had to experience what women have to deal with on a regular basis

In all honesty, I feel bad for these cops. All of them were screaming and resisting arrest. Just shut up and let go of the cage. If they were white, my stance would be exactly the same, but then again, no one would have even seen this video.

then don’t call them when you need help

I must be the only person on here who’s never wanted to live in Manhattan.

Obviously you’re not married.

That doesn’t rime. Also, I’m not sure it’s rape if they’re dead. It’s necrophelia, but not rape.

Sex should absolutely be enthusiastic, but it’s not automatically rape just because that enthusiasm is absent. Maybe your partner really wants to and you don’t ultimately mind performing for him or her. Maybe you’re doing it because you really want someone to like you and you think sex is a way to achieve that goal.…
