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

btw Ole Miss only gets about 20% of it's funding from the state and that keeps shrinking.


It would be worth it in the long run for all of the state funding to be cut so long as we no longer have to be under total control from the IHL.

"Outgunned" isn't slang. That's actually a legitimate word.

I don't give a sh!t about the confederate flag. If it pisses off a good bit of the population, remove it for the greater good.

People didn't get pissed off until the age of internet, facebook, twitter, etc. Now it's a powder keg. I've never heard ONE black person down south complain about that flag, now all of a sudden they are upset. lmao.

If I were to make my point to you, it wouldn't effect my logic at all. My logic stays constant with that. It would, however, improve your level of logical thinking if I were to prove my point and you understand it.


It's much too enjoyable watching you smash your hands on your keyboard in an attempt to prove whatever illogical point you've been trying to make.

Shall we remind him "State's Rights to own slaves, States rights to have segregation, etc." Reason why the flag was popular with racist, segregationists, etc.

correct.

CJ Johnson's quote also puts it in perspective:

"It sickens me when I see [a Confederate flag] on people’s cars on campus. If you have the Confederate flag on your vehicle, you have a problem,” Johnson said. “And I don't care if it's socially what you believe in or it's morally what you believe in or you're just doing it for s---s and giggles. It's just the fact of what it stands for. It's almost like you might as well put a tag on the front of your car that says 'n-----.' That's really what it boils down to. You might as well just put a big tag on the front of your car or hang a big flag on the back of your car and just say the N-word.”

---

So much stupid in that quote. Another obtuse person that thinks the rebel flag is unequivocally synonymous with racial hatred. He also ignores the fact that the "N word" is used more by the black populace than any other sect. Just because you mispronounce & misspell the word, it doesn't change the meaning. If it is so offensive, then don't use it in any shape or form. Stop your own culture from using it first, then focus on others. You're just showing your ignorance when you berate others for doing something you continue to do yourself.

The idea behind the Confederacy in general was for state rights. It had nothing to do with slavery but every damn liberal in the world would want you to think that. The flag represents States Rights, the damn Civil War was not about Slavery and some people really need to go back and read there history books.

---

You couldn't be more wrong, or ironic.

The fact is that one of the main differences between the US Constitution and the CS Constitution is the fact that in the Confederacy, a State did not retain the right to abolish slavery within its borders.

That right there limits states' rights, not expand them.

"We have dissolved the late Union chiefly because of the negro quarrel."

- Robert Hardy Smith, Alabama State Senator, 1861

I wish you boys would stop taking the single most enlightened, humanitarian thing this nation has done in its history, and pervert it into something vile. Quit revising OUR history, and go form your confederacy somewhere outside of the United States of America. WE won, you lost.

That's nice you obviously didn't pay attention, so let me educate you real quick. The succession of South Carolina from the Union started the Civil War. By the time Lincoln got into office Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, and Texas succeeded shortly followed by Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkansas. Now slavery was one issue but there was a host of other issues that cause these states to succeed. Overall Social and Economics were mainly the problem and the belief that states have the right to govern themselves. True the southern states wanted to keep slavery but more so what they wanted was the ability to make there own laws and not have the federal government trump those rights. See this is the problem when you people look back on history and only see the slavery when there was a bigger and broader picture then just that one aspect.

Why did Lincoln wait until after the start of the Civil War to make the emancipation proclamation? Why did the north at the time specifically New Jersey have slaves as well? Also why did the North give the slaves back to the Southern states during the war when they fled across the boarder? Oh and how much did you know about this from your grade school history class?

BTW I am not referring back to this information from grade school or even high school but from college classes where I have had over 12 hours in US History and numerous papers and research on the subject.
