A school in Tennessee is refusing to ban the Confederate battle flag from being displayed on campus, even though a black student has expressed discomfort at the sight. The freshman from Rutherford County, Tennessee, came home from school and told his mother that students were displaying the flag from their cars and wearing T-shirts with the symbol.
At least one of the flags flying from vehicles in the school parking lot had the words “Heritage, Not Hate” written on it when local ABC affiliate WKRN-TV drove by recently. The news comes nearly two months after a racially motivated church shooting in South Carolina sparked national debate on the propriety of the flag on public property.
“I felt sad and hurt when I saw [the flags]” flying from trucks at the school, the freshman’s mother told the ABC affiliate. “I don’t think it is the appropriate place for my child to be subjected to this.” In the report, the names of the mother and student remained anonymous.

I dont care who flies the battle flag of the Confederacy and its not my business to tell them to remove it, its the white liberal marxist race hustlers in the media and the negro marxist islamic pimps who are causing the trouble. but since the onset of this perversion from the marxist self hating white media and the black race pimp hustlers , I now fly the battle flag in front of my home and on my car, and i dare anyone to force me to remove it.
Perhaps we should take up a collection and buy them a box o tissues…
I live in Maine and these flags are everywhere, now. I can’t order them fast enough…lol Gadsden flags, too.
What I find funny is that not one slave was traded under that flag. Yet they call it racist.
There are more slaves sold in Africa in any given year, today, than were bought by the American colonists in the entire period when importation of slaves was permitted by law.
And today, as it was 300 years ago and for a millennia before that, it is blacks selling blacks into slavery. They were doing it long before the age of European colonialism/mercantilism was dreamt of, so they can’t blame it on Europeans.
In point of fact, blacks were selling their own to the Berbers as slaves, even in Christ’s time on earth.
There is nothing new under the sun. And among those sins which persist wih the greatest intensity is ignorance…
WE HAVE BEEN WARNED
Ignorance abounds when history isn’t taught. And because of this, we are cursed to repeat it.
1. So there were slaves. Growing cotton and tobacco was labor intensive back then. Slaves were replaced by machines.
2. Lincoln freed the slaves? No they just changed masters. Welfare replaced the slave owners.
3. So we lost. Maybe that would explain the black uprising. If we won there would be no uprising.
4. It happened. Its history. Get over it.
