#1 "Double-standards are good for you!"

I can't help noticing how much this fits with Fonte's description of transnational progressivism, and to William Goldnadel (french advocate, and conservative jewish thinker) 's martyrocracy... society as a collection of groups, democracy as a rule of special interest victim groups, and the White Male Order having to attone for all its sins.

#2 One girl wore a confederate shirt with 6 african slaves picking cotton on it. the black kids at the school freaked out and had a BIG problem with it. i happen to know this girl very well and she is and has been a southern activist. 100%!"

I think a shirt showing the depiction of slaves picking cotton is very innappropriate.

And will someone tell me what a 'southern activist' is?

#3 I think the wearing of the Confederate battle flag is wrong and shouldn't be allowed in a school.

I think a shirt showing the depiction of slaves picking cotton is very innappropriate.

How about that First Amendment thing? Awfully damned inconvenient isn't it? Next thing we know, people will be saying it is innappropriate to wear the American Flag, or show it in any way. Because we just don't want to offend anyone.

There's nothing like skinless people in a sandpaper world.

Bad times are coming, you can believe it and get prepared, or stick your head back in the sand and most likely get dead. If anyone here thinks that it won't be a free-for-all along ethnic divides, you're dreaming. You will only be able to count on your own kind, and even then it will be iffy.

#4 Bingo 5089. Seems to me that the younger generation is getting fed up with the double standard. It seems the choice of the confederate flag was more of a "let's see how you like it" than a statement of "white superiority".

Personally, I'm getting really sick of people who have never suffered a day of discrimination in their life, leaching off the suffering of their ancestors to give themselves an excuse to discriminate against others.

The double standards of the administrators are the issue here - not race or symbols.

#5 It's disruptive and it's generally meant to stick it in someone's eye.

But when the "Malcolm X was worn it's ignored?

This whole thing started with those Malcolm X tee shirts, and we southerners started wearing shirts with the slogan "Your "X" (malcolm)
Our "X" (Confederate Battle Flag)on the same shirt.

Try a little fair play, "Black" shirts are no more acceptable, (and no less)than the Confederate Flag Tee shirt.

Ban both or shut up.
