What you care about and have posted about incessantly is belittling exclusively the people, including the families of the 9 slaughtered, who want government to stop endorsing the slaver flag. No one will ever buy your neutrality when you've staked out your territory to the racist right of the wingnutty SC TP GOP, and you're an idiot to keep trying to sell it.
"originally a symbol of slavery and racism ... besides, it's ancient history" - Damn you're dumb. It was placed at the Capitol in deliberate opposition to civil rights and remains the chosen banner of modern racists. Yet another point you've repeatedly ducked, wuss, and no doubt will again.
As you also ducked, science has proved that the most homophobic are more likely to be latent gays. The irony of your citing homerfobe to defend yourself is hilarious. Thank you.
Yet another thing you've ducked - You attacked me first in this forum when we had never interacted. It's not my problem that your ego is too delicate when it comes back at you. Regardless, defenders of slavers and racists get griefed. Put on your big boy pants and deal with it. It's clear that it's all a front for not being able to hold your own on the topic.
"Not being from this neck of the woods ..."
First, you're a white, taxpaying citizen of SC, Pontius.
Then, you ran away from:

I see, this was a nonsense post in a failed attempt to make an excuse for your apathy and unwillingness to act like an SC citizen one way or the other:

Figures. No one says they're from a place they didn't even grow up in, especially as an explanation for their inaction, unless they're trying to deceive.
Vrede too wrote:... have you ever done anything to oppose racism? Or, are you just another old white guy that would rather just delude yourself that it doesn't exist because it makes you uncomfortable to face reality?
Ducked.
Poor thing.
