Liam,

This was my last post at the blog http://politic365.com:80/2010/11/26/the-confederate-flag-heritage-or-racism/ .

By last I do mean I will not go back there. I managed to get part of it posted but the god folks there seem to have a need to moderate my post for some unknown reason. Only part of my post has shown up at that blog at this time. Here it is in it's entirety---

Liam,

I am leaving this forum for many reasons. If you wish to continue to discuss the issue at hand with me, you can find me at the SHAPE website. In order top prove your charge the CBF is a racist symbol you have to look within the 4 years the Confederacy existed. What happened after that the Confederacy had no control over as the United States was the controlling government.

Yes there was racism under the CBF, but no more than, if as much, as the Flag of the United States.

Please consider below the comment by Booker T. Washington in his autobiography,” Up From Slavery",

"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the
troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the
public...Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs partly because
they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want
the Negro to lose his grievances because they do not want to lose their jobs”

Booker T Washington

Thank you for the welcome.

I sent you a PM so I would not clog up your forum.

At this time I have not received your message. No need to worry about clogging this forum, we have more space than we will ever use.

Please feel free to use this website as much as you desire, the Feds gave us our tax exempt rating based on our free use policy and for the content of our website.

BTW they requested one of our coloring books as part of our application. I did find that somewhat strange.
