re: Ole Miss student senate votes to remove state flag.

I did not gloss over anything. You are putting figures into something no figure can be added to.

Again I admitted that slavery was an undertow in the issues, but to say it was sole cause or even final cause is simplistic and not looking at the climate.

And back to my original post in this topic, people are dug into their beliefs and teachings so nothing is going to be solved. It is a political debate that will rage for centuries and yet none of us can understand the meaning, as for one specific reason...we weren't there so we really do not know, we are applying our values to a time and place that has been dead and gone


ETA:

I use this with the kids I work with and needs to be used in this debate.

It happened, we move on, and learn from it; do not let something we do cause us to repeat mistakes or things from the past haunt us.
