Nope other ways to protest the idiots that live around me. Like I said if that is the way they want to do it fine, but they also will have thier critics.
The Confederate flag is a part of history. Not a history we should be proud of, not a part of history we should erase but learn from........
hmmmm
As a veteran also, I support their right to knell/protest, however that doesn't mean that I don't find what they do misguided and absolutely counterproductive to what they actually want changed. Even with the blemishes of the past this is still the greatest country in the world and I'm so thankful that I was blessed to be born here. Had no choice in the matter. We won the lottery.
Is there anything in your world that’s not racist?
Thankfully someone was brave enough to say what @Dawgsince76 did 🙄
Bankwalker - we'll have to disagree. What our country stands for is accommodating many forms of descent, from religious differences to protesting unjust laws and rules. The flag isn't a Bible, if some want to use it as a symbolic representation of an injustice, I won't get bent out of shape.
A sad irony is some people want to punish those who protest in a manner THEY disagree with, which would be a very unAmerican thing to do. When people harass or attack demonstrators they end up looking like Hitler's Brown Shirts.
Dawgnms. I'm not sure how to interpret your post about The Confederate Flag. I don't think displaying it teaches anything of value.
This country is great be ause we can criticize it.
But exercise that right and they'll tell you to "get out".
We only have our great cobstitution because the founders decided to reform the articles of confederation rather than just leave the country.
Imagine how great a country we would be if everybody who wanted to fix a problem with it just left instead of trying to fix it.
Don't erase it, but don't fly it neither. It deserves to be in books and museums, not over statehouses
the op is extremely anti-American

I think this guy has been a regular poster on DawgNation. His MO is always the same: post some negativity bomb, usually lacking in punctuation but not profanity, then drops off without a peep. Look at his DVs and abuse stats. Dude is a cancerous presence on a message board.
Standing up for the anthem is a political statement just like kneeling is....Ole Miss players are brave...
