Rob's House Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Kid Rock tells Confederate Flag Protesters to kiss his ass. http://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/2015/07/10/kid-rock-confederate-flag/29958773/ ...Does Rock remember he's from Detroit? I'm tempted to buy a Kid Rock album.
LeviF Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I'm tempted to buy a Kid Rock album. So it's now 6:46. How long did that temptation actually last?
Deranged Rhino Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Kid rock is the poorest person here lol You're my hero for that. I'm tempted to buy a Kid Rock album. I'm all for people flying whichever flag they wish, no harm in him making this stand in my book. It just struck me as funny because he's from Detroit.
/dev/null Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Kid Rock tells Confederate Flag Protesters to kiss his ass. http://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/2015/07/10/kid-rock-confederate-flag/29958773/ ...Does Rock remember he's from Detroit? Kid Rock has always been a conundrum for me. I've always liked his f* you attitude, but his music is terrible. Uncle Ted on the other hand, also from Detroit and not afraid to give the Universe the a well deserved middle finger, I do like both his f* you attitude and music
Rob's House Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 From FB: The only difference between people in The North and people in The South is that down here, at least people are honest about being racist. ... New York State is one of the most segregated states in the country. Buffalo, New York where my aunt lives is one of the 10 most segregated school systems in the country. The racial inequality of the area she inhabits is so bad that it has been the subject of reports by the Civil Rights Action Network and the NAACP.
/dev/null Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Maybe I missed the broadcast on CNN, but what did Obama say at the funeral of the woman in California killed by that felon who was deported multiple times? Has he dispatched DoJ to investigate?

Google "sundown town" and try to tell me that places like Tonawanda, Brighton (suburb of Rochester), and Niskayuna (suburb of Schenectady) don't fit the description to the letter. Then there's that whole bus incident in Buffalo...in 1999 for chrissake.
IDBillzFan Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Maybe I missed the broadcast on CNN, but what did Obama say at the funeral of the woman in California killed by that felon who was deported multiple times? Has he dispatched DoJ to investigate? Not sure how you missed it. CNN had a countdown timer for his speech, and he spoke at length about the cruel injustice that comes from forcing a convicted felon to sneak back into the country five times. Then he had Chevy Chase on stage to do a live version of "My Little Buttercup" with all the extras from "The Three Amigos." It was touching.
boyst Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 So we don't care about Kid Rock but we hate the Dixie Chicks. This is confusing.

truth on hold Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Sad times indeed. Let's hope the country has grown wiser since then.
Gary M Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Sticks and stones will break my bones, but a flag will make me vomit!!! http://www.ijreview.com/2015/07/366720-flea-market-visitor-sees-confederate-merchandise-sale-reacts-calling-cops/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Owned&utm_term=conservativedaily&utm_campaign=Crime But a month ago it was alright!!! :wallbash:
DC Tom Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Sticks and stones will break my bones, but a flag will make me vomit!!! http://www.ijreview.com/2015/07/366720-flea-market-visitor-sees-confederate-merchandise-sale-reacts-calling-cops/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Owned&utm_term=conservativedaily&utm_campaign=Crime But a month ago it was alright!!! :wallbash: I never understood people who wanted to buy reproductions of historical memorabilia, frankly. I own a Afrika Korps badge...but it's genuine, so legitimately historical. A reproduction isn't historical to me, just "Wehrmacht Porn". More distressing...I've been seeing legitimate works of Civil War history being removed from bookshelves, for having a Confederate flag on them. We're going embarrassingly overboard if we can't distinguish racist symbolism from legitimate use in a historical context.

We're going embarrassingly overboard if we can't distinguish racist symbolism from legitimate use in a historical context. The enthusiasm on the part of some to remove the image of the confederate flag from every aspect of our lives reminds me a bit of those radical muslims who are blowing up ancient monuments because they deem them offensive.
IDBillzFan Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Sad times indeed. Let's hope the country has grown wiser since then. It has. The Dixie Chicks haven't had a hit album in years.
DC Tom Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Coming soon: disinterring Confederate graves from National Parks. Yep. The graves of Nathan Bedford Forrest and his wife are being dug up and moved...somewhere, article doesn't say. http://www.localmemphis.com/story/d/story/council-votes-to-move-nathan-bedford-forrests-rema/12440/x-aa6bzx80iy91LMR_yQ-g Admittedly, Forrest, was a racist prick. But grave desecration seems a bit much. Also, a move to rename "Stonewall Jackson High School..." Gregg Suzanne McAllister, a professor at West Virginia State University and president of a group called Mothers of Diversity America, has started a petition drive to change the name of Stonewall Jackson Middle School. McAllister says in her petition preamble, “Ironically and sadly, it (the school) happens to educate the highest number of African American middle school students in the State of WV.” Oh my God! A primarily black school, named after a guy who ran a school for slaves and personally taught slaves to read on the principle that they couldn't truly be free unless they were literate when they were emancipated? The horror!
Nanker Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 We'll be hearing soon how Martin Luther King Jr was working undercover for the FBI to suppress homosexuals and deny them their rights. His legacy cannot be allowed to stand. He was a horrible human being because he opposed homosexuality.
DC Tom Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 And now...a bill introduced in Maryland to change the state song, because it was written by a Confederate sympathizer. http://www.capitalgazette.com/news/ph-ac-cn-maryland-song-0711-20150712-story.html Last week, according to The Associated Press, Del. Karen Lewis Young, of Frederick, submitted legislation to have the words of the state song replaced by a poem of the same title, written in 1894. Next up: banning the song "Dixie," and digging up every magnolia tree.
