The KKK isn't a group to be feared anymore.
They're no isis but, i would still be careful what i said around a group of racists, they're not exactly in the right mind.
Got a mentally unstable Confederate flag wearing white supremacist on the loose? Let's give 'em a gun.
Seemed to work fine for those 9 black people in that church in Charleston. Because, you know, firearms aren't the leading cause of death in the US or anything.
so wait, there was a KKK rally going on just a bit away from a black pride rally? and this in the south where gun ownership is kind of a big thing?
must've been those cops' lives scariest 2 hours

Dylann "bowl with no soul" Roof should've been taken in by social services ages ago tbh
leading cause of death in US are coronary heart diseases btw, homicide is fairly down the list, guns are leading weapon of murder
They are nothing but a white noise of empty threats (mostly, anyway). Thus, this does not give much cause for concern in my case (that and I am an ocean away from the KKK).

Mainly the second one. The south has a history of lynchings, shootings and bombings committed by the Klan. Authorities and juries only really started cracking down on them in the late 80's.

Confed flag so racist!!!! I thought we were all equal though? Let me fly what flag I want and you fly yours, and fuck off. that would be nice.
Guns don't kill people, the person squeezing the trigger does. Funny how you are throwing whites under the bus, when the facts below don't lie...
A 2012 study by the Department of Justice’s Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention revealed that in 2010 black youths committed six times more murders, three times more rapes, 10 times more robberies and three times more assaults than did their white counterparts.
According to the US Department of Justice, blacks accounted for 52.5% of homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with whites 45.3% and "Other" 2.2%
His uncle still gave him a gun for his birthday, though, even knowing that his nephew was a bit on the crazy side.
guns are leading weapon of murder
My bad, that's what I meant.
I don't hate Germans because one of my family members were killed in action during WW2 by them. So why does it matter? If I see a German flag Idon't scream to take it down. You didn't care about the confed flag before Dylan roof happened, now that you have a scapegaot you feel free to voice your liberal opinion. (truth)
Yes, I'm not mad at southerners just as you are not mad at Germans. That's not what this is really about.
If a Jewish man saw a swastika flying high on a flag pole, though, it might evoke a few emotions, no? Even if the person flying the flag did it in remembrance of a fallen family member whom died during WWII. Especially if there were such strong tensions in that hypothetical as there is racial tensions in America at the moment.
As for your edit, yes Dylan Roof sparked the movement. Did you have a point to make there? Does that make it wrong?

Problem is everything is offensive to someone. One jew may be mad, one jew may not get angry or care. So a confed flag may piss off some liberals and such but again, this whole ting has been thrown about because of the media and Dylan roof. The media tells people what to think, before the Roof incident no one posted about the flag or had an opinion on it. Even people in public wouldnt care if they saw one, now that the media has told them dylan roof was a white supremacist racist flag flying confed rebel, they need to post threads like this and state how racist it is. Wonder what the next spree shooting will involve? Wonder what would happen if a LGBT guy went on a massive spree killing 10+ people, would people want the gay pride flag taken down?
No, it just makes it funny peeple need a massive event to make them aware of waht is going on. They need the media to tell them what to hate or like. Like I said, if dylan roof didn't do that we wouldn't be discussing the flag

And some things are much more offensive than others. That Jew may not care, most Jews would be revolted by the flag as it was the symbol under which they were slain by the masses for their religion, or their ethnic background. That's what the symbol is connected to. Do you realize what the Confederate flag is a symbol for? What it has historically been connected to? Freedom for the southerns sure, rebellion sure, treason sure, racism sure.
I've always been put off by the flag. Even as a white kid living in the country I understood that it wasn't simply a symbol of "freedom." I'm sure I wasn't the only one before Dylan, and again the spark doesn't say much about the fire.
No, because the gay pride flag isn't directly linked with slavery or anything else so heinous.

You must be right! Look at the upstanding, tolerant citizens protesting this attack on their heritage.
Regardless of the shooting, that flag was tainted to begin with and should've been retired from government buildings decades ago. If some "southern pride" fuckrags have a problem with it, tough shit for them.

Yet they're still allowed to have a gun because of the amendment that says they are. I'm not throwing whites under the bus, I don't know what I said that made you think I am. I mentioned white supremacy because Dylann Roof was a white supremacist, and I proved my argument in the second line. I didn't mean that all people who use guns are white or white supremacists.
A 2012 study by the Department of Justice’s Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention revealed that in 2010 black youths committed six times more murders, three times more rapes, 10 times more robberies and three times more assaults than did their white counterparts.

Money there's your answer. Idoits keep giveing it TO them. But the tragedy that sparked this should be the focus. Not some group clinging to the last vestiage of rellivance. A poor mentally disturbed kid .... Went on a RAMPAGE.... Don't let the Klan fool you. They lurk in the dark. This kid did'nt he made himself perfectly clear. There had been,from what ive seen ,plenty of threats made. Authorties did not take the correct steps with the threat. Now we are where we are. I grew up as the grandson of a WWII VET who witnessed the KKK Murder a Black shipmate of his. I've never known the deets but there were stores, that grandpa would'nt shop at. Here are the two that stick out: Walmart and oddly Sonic. He always said the owners where KKK, more accurately RedDragons.! I should also mention I followed home atleast once by a under cover cop as a kid. Fuck the klan pray for the victims leave history as just that HIstory.
The big deal about the confederate flag in South Carolina is that it flew on the official government property of the state. If someone wants to fly the flag on their own property, that's their right. But it was absolutely right for people to protest that flag and for the officials to remove the flag from state property, especially as that particular flag was raised in the 1960s in support of segregation.
As it was purposefully put on state property to support racism (which goes against the equal protection clause of the fourteenth ammendment of the United States constitution), it definitely deserved to be taken down.

I guess I understand now, they want it down because it is a supposedly racist flag on government property. That does make sense, but people also want others to remove it from their houses on their own property. its total BS

Much hatred. Wow such hatred. But I doubt anyone in here could have told me that or knew about it. They just automatically know the R word and use it whenever something white is mentioned. (truth)

It's a nice idea in print, but in practice the Confederacy twisted the words of the Bible (ie: quoting scriptures that mention that slaves must obey their masters) to promote the subhuman status and slavery of African American people.
They may have symbolized Jesus Christ in their flag, but they didn't follow his teachings that well, as there was a lot of hatred behind that flag (including Christian symbols doesn't negate the negative connotations of the meaning behind the flag, as for instance the KKK's flag is also similarly based on the symbols of Christ (the cross for His Crucifixion, red for the blood of Christ, and white for the protection of God), but there's no doubt that they are a hate group).

I just don't see why you are so in arms about a flag that has meant you no harm. But you also use a liberal website to prove your points so, but they are a hate group. No doubting that.
Also, just remember that the south and the world back then was primarily white. In 1960, USA 90 percent white, but now in 2010 USA was 68 percent white. That's a fact that cannot be denied. KKK is proud to be white and show it off, but like I said earlier "I'm proud to be white! = RACIST!" They do not ride around lynching black people anymore contrary to popular belief, but once they wave the flag and say they are proud to be white, game over.

Be proud of your race. If you are proud to be black, do it, proud to be white, asian, doesn't matter, just be proud. It doesn't make you a racist, nor does it make you a skinhead racist for flying a flag.
It's the assumption that flying a confederate flag makes you a skinhead black killer that gets me angry.
Based on your posts in this thread, it's beginning to seem like you have a white power agenda.
Also, what do these "facts you can't deny" that you keep stating have to do with anything?
That's a bullshit graphic. I have never heard an outcry over a person being proud of being part of a particular white cultural group like Irish, Italian, Ukrainian, etc. What you're missing is that there's no such thing as "white culture."

The KKK are upset, but the flag is totally just a symbol of Southern Pride. Yup, nothing at all to do with racism.
Fuck em'. The KKK isn't a group to be feared anymore. Just middle-aged losers who want to blame their own failings in life on blacks and Jews.
The KKK dresses up to be the ghosts of Confederate soldiers, so I imagine they would react to this...
Also, that guy in the thumbnail, if you want to respect a flag, aren't you not supposed to deface it by adding your own logo?
They're no isis but, i would still be careful what i said around a group of racists, they're not exactly in the right mind.
F**k the KKK. I'm for keeping the Confederate flag, but these racist douchebags are making things worse.
I wouldn't go to one of their compounds and pick a fight, but they can't do anything at rallies but talk. They can call me a race-traitor as much as they want, I don't give a fuck.

Who

Shit
What they think
A fair number of people still fear them, especially in the Deep South.
Does the law there discriminate against black people there? Or is it just the idea of gangs against black people?
Same goes for Westboro Baptist Church. All bark and no bite.
Mainly the second one. The south has a history of lynchings, shootings and bombings committed by the Klan. Authorities and juries only really started cracking down on them in the late 80's.
No, those people are brainwashed by their parents. I feel bad for them. If you actually find out about them its one guy, telling his children this.
One day they'll fall in love with someone and realize what a fool they have been.
