How does removing flags from the public square also remove flags from private ownership? Who is prevented from owning such a flag or prevented from buying one?I dont think so. There is more slavery today than there was then, as the sex trade.
The biggest group of victims being girls and women. The west is badly divided, the USA badly divided and the removal of confederate flags from the public square has removed the flags from private ownership.
The example of forgiveness sidelined by the example of forced division.
And it gets worse the mire woke society gets indoctrinated
So banning flags from public square doesnt seem to help. An example of forgivenss might. If we honour examples of forgiveness it is more productive than try to ban things.How does removing flags from the public square also remove flags from private ownership?

Forgiveness does not entail honoring symbols of hate by allowing their display in public places.
I think it is helping. It signals to the ancestors of slaves that we will no longer tolerate those who fought to retain slavery, ensuring them that we value them.So banning flags from public square doesnt seem to help.

At the moment your loathing of the offense exceeds your loving of the reconciliation
Then I would still say at the moment your loathing of the offense exceeds your loving of the reconciliationI think it is helping. It signals to the ancestors of slaves that we will no longer tolerate those who fought to retain slavery, ensuring them that we value them.
Oh really? Give me an example of someone who has lead an exemplary lifeIf you want to honor honorable people, there are plenty of other people to choose from who led exemplary lives.
You are the one who wants to put up statues to people who engage in reconciliation, but can only seem to come up with Confederate generals to honor.Then I would still say at the moment your loathing of the offense exceeds your loving of the reconciliation

You do realize the majority of black people think that voter ID should be required. Right?
The fact is that poor people tend not to own cars and many black people are poor. Or they live in cities where cars are not needed.
The Challenge of Obtaining Voter Identification
Ten states now have unprecedented restrictive voter ID laws, which require citizens to produce specific types of government-issued photo identification before they can vote.www.brennancenter.org
This last one is from the Charlotte Observer but I cannot provide a link due to forum rules.
Your claims that progressives think blacks are stupid is not supportable. We are the ones aiming to make it easier for these citizens to vote.
So again, you can't come up with anything he got wrong.I already stated that Dinesh D'Souza is a disgraced RWer and I see no reason to waste time reading anything he has written.
If you think he made valid points, then go ahead and present them.
"Dog whistles" is a widely used term based on the advice of Lee Atwater:
I see no mention of the KKK here, and it sounds like a charming place:

No, they did not. The actual facts don't back up your claims.Yes, there is a a Democratic party of the past and a modern Democratic party.
Yes, the parties did switch polarities. The south has ALWAYS been staunchly conservative. It used to be overwhelming Democratic, but now it's overwhelming Republican... and still staunchly conservative.
Maybe you should have read the article, bobbyboy.And yet the conservative south used to be solidly Democratic, but now it's solidly Republican... and still conservative. So if there was no switch then how do you account for that?
I notice you present no link to support your claim.You do realize the majority of black people think that voter ID should be required. Right?
That's how racist you are, you are trying to tell black people, who WANT this, that they don't know what they are talking about and that they should listen to white people like yourself.
I refuse to click on anything he writes.So again, you can't come up with anything he got wrong.
As to the dog whistles, only you and your brethren can hear them, which indicates to me that just like actual dog whistles can be heard by only the dogs, you are the racists here.
So you have no actual argument to explain the shift in the political affiliation of southern conservatives.Maybe you should have read the article, bobbyboy.
No I am the one who has said I wouldnt put statues up of anyone. Please read my posts and dont ask about doing what I have told you I wouldnt do.You are the one who wants to put up statues to people who engage in reconciliation, but can only seem to come up with Confederate generals to honor.
So do you have others on your list of people who deserve statues besides Confederates?
Here you go, snookums. Last I checked, 69 percent is a pretty decent majority.I notice you present no link to support your claim.
Well you had to click on it to see the writer, so....I refuse to click on anything he writes.
I don't need to. They are there for anyone with working eyes to read. It says a lot that you can do nothing but ad hominid attacks instead of addressing the article.If you think he has made good points, bring them up for discussion. It says a lot that you can't or won't do that.
Yet you and your fellow liberals are the only ones who seem to be able to hear these dog whistles. Funny that.Dog whistles have long been a tactic of the RW as pointed out by that Lee Atwater quote. Your disbelief is irrelevant to the actual reality.
The argument is right there in the article, hun.So you have no actual argument to explain the shift in the political affiliation of southern conservatives.
Reality backs up my claim. The conservative south was once highly Democratic, it now stands highly Republican... and STILL conservative.No, they did not. The actual facts don't back up your claims.
I did, Gondy. Dinesh isn't exactly a reputable source.Maybe you should have read the article, bobbyboy.
