			Whites just prefer to seperate into even smaller groups
		

		

	





Sweet! Now I just need to find the United Anglo-Franco-German-Probably-A-Couple-Other-Undetermined-Western-European-Countries-And-One-Sixty-Fourth-Cherokee College Fund and I'll be on my way to that EECS degree.


Cousin ExCyber!?

oh, . I misread that.

I thought you said "United Anglo-Franco-Scotish-Probably-A-Couple-Other-Undetermined-Western-European-Countries-And-One-Sixty-Fourth-Cherokee College Fund"

.. ohh, so close.

			They have recently took away the South Carolina State flag! A Flag of US history, of land, of freedom, and of pride. A flag that "black" people themselves have fought for! That does cause damage.
		

		

	





This one made me laugh. It wasn't the state flag. The state flag is blue, with a crescent moon and a palmetto tree. The flag that was taken down from the courthouse was the Confederate flag, which is the complete opposite of what you just stated (re: the worst period in the history of the U.S.)[/b]



Glad I could make you laugh. You'll bust your gut when you learn what my current home state is! Yup, I have the flag you mention on my car's tag. :auto

I'll pay more attention at the next klan rally.

I actually know it is the Confederate flag, I just didn't know I worded my sentence so poorly. "They have recently took away the South Carolina State flag!" should have read more like "They have took away the State of South Carolina's flag" . . or somethin' . but you got it.

I know it's not SC's flag, but it's on every government building in Columbia. I actually see Confederate flags now more than ever. The very act of trying to remove this piece of history has caused it to spread to the point you can buy $1 Confederate flags at every corner. My neighborhood alone has several flag poles not for the American flag, but the Confederate flag. There are flag poles like that in many yards throughout this state.

. . . . and here's a BIG shocker!!! Black people buy and wear them!!!

Yes!! it's true!! Some black people do respect the history behind the Confederate flag! I have even spoke to some black people who's families (yea! black family) has fought under that flag. These black people are just as upset at the atrocities of removing a symbol of history and progression.

That was my point. That both Jeff and I agree at the damage done from people trying to remove pride, history, and heritage from people.

I think you're getting caught up in the word 'black' - it's not simply a color but can be used interchangeably with 'African' - in which case, how is that different from Polish


I'm getting caught up in the word black? . . now that is funny. Black entertainment television, Black history month, Black movie awards, black black black black. Why can't it be called African-American. I don't understand why skin color or any color defines a nationality.

From my Native-American heritage I would feel really uncomfortable if I was described as red-skin. "Red History month" :lol:

I'm just saying if African-Americans wish to be known more than their skin color, then they need to be the ones to stop separating themselves by it. I would really be more interested in "African American month" than "Black History Month" simply from the name alone. The name alone is offensive.

Imagine Asian's having "Yellow History Month"?? :huh
