Not only that, the NAACP wants the confederate flag removed from state police vehicle insignia and uniform patches. Where do you draw the line? Yep. It's now moved to iconoclasm. In 2001 (before 9/11) there was a worldwide uproar as the Taliban destroyed the two Bamiyan Buddhas. On the basis that they were offensive. Back then, it was thought that iconoclasm was a bad thing because the act of destroying heritage, even if inconsistent with present mores, was extremist and intolerant in nature. I've seen posters on here talk about the right wing Sharia. The American Taliban. Well, right now I'm seeing a suggestion that is EXACTLY what the Taliban did. When some group starts to talk about burning books, stomping out albums (I'm dating myself), destroying art or otherwise destroying relics of heritage, it has moved onto something more despicable. If any of you ever get the chance to watch the "Rape of Europa" you can get an idea what I'm talking about. A group is destroyed by destroying its heritage. Its culture. Its art. The Taliban know it. ISIS knows it. The Germans knew it. It's a shame that some asshole who wanted to start a race war is actually being successful in it. Some racist white guy burns an Ameeican flag and kills a bunch of black people in a church? Time for war against Southern heritage. It's scary to me how few people are willing to speak out against it. Yes, I find the whole thing offensive. Which is exactly why it needs to exist. I want to see it myself sometime. I want to tour Auschwitz. Because we MUST be allowed to experience history Multiculturalism. Tolerance. They are all just words used by the antimulticultural and anti tolerant. Agreed... I do not support the destruction of monuments or carved statues that cannot be moved. There is a place for everything. In fact, there's an obelisk in Linn Park in downtown Birmingham honoring the Confederates. The city has reached out to the Daughters Of the Confederacy to see if they will take the monument and move it to their property. That is fine. Most of the other stuff belong in museums of southern history of the sort or in private collections. JMO There will be no addressing the customers as "Bitches", "Morons" or "Retards"!

I think it's just a little bit easier for Iran, nimbyism isn't so much a problem. It's not so much nimbyism as it is the cost and length of time it takes to build one. There will be no addressing the customers as "Bitches", "Morons" or "Retards"!

I get what you're saying. The fleur de lis symbol has been around for centuries. I'm not sure how or why it got used for branding slaves with, but that's something they'll have to come to terms with I guess. As Anvilbrother says, it's deeply ingrained in Louisiana culture. I don't personally think they are going to do anything more than acknowledge it's past use (dark history) and proclaim the symbol as their quasi-French culture link and go on about their lives and damn what anybody else thinks. WHO DAT!? WHO DAT DEY SAY DEY GONE CALL IT RACIST?!? There will be no addressing the customers as "Bitches", "Morons" or "Retards"!

The history of the fleur de lis in American slavery shows it was used to brand slaves with if they were caught trying to escape, among other methods of punishment... Read the article I posted... And here's an image... There will be no addressing the customers as "Bitches", "Morons" or "Retards"!

Yes, it has its origins in France, and became widely used in Louisiana, which as you know was originally French territory. There will be no addressing the customers as "Bitches", "Morons" or "Retards"!

Currently, the Confederate Flag is getting all the attention... but, could the fleur de lis be next?

Indeed. You're right. I stated a few days ago about what the confederate vice president said about the confederate constitution being the opposite of the U.S. constitution that all men are created equal. Clearly the Confederates didn't believe that. Relegate the flag to the museums so people see the history, and move on. This is 2015, people... not 1950.

The flag was the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia. It's commanding general was Robert E Lee... my third cousin a few times removed. At least a dozen of my close relatives served under him in various units from Florida, Georgia, and both Carolina's. Half of them survived the war... many did no survive wounds in the many battles from Bull Run to Gettysburg. They are buried far from their homes and families and that heritage is part of many of our family lines history that we learn growing up remembering our 2nd ggrand-uncles and those survivors, our second ggrandfathers and the families also lost mothers and children who did not go off to war but still suffered privations at home. To many in our family the flag was dishonored by its use many years after the war by a group that had no right to it and performed despicable acts in the name of their white heritage. The same kinds of people who have no honor, dishonor those people who gave so much fighting an enemy who was invading their homes 150 years ago. Bingo. This is the answer right here. The flag didn't really become a perverted affront until white power and segregationist supporters started waving it in the face of the Civil Rights Movement. The damage is done. Take the flags down off of public property and government buildings. It does not represent all of us. I have no issues with private people waving it on their private property or vehicles. That's their right. Just don't wave it in a manner that implies all of us support it. There will be no addressing the customers as "Bitches", "Morons" or "Retards"!

USMC Scout Sniper unit. You know Scout Sniper / SS ? Don't you think they could have researched logo styles and created one distinctly different from the Nazis' SS? Oh wait, they're Marines... never mind. There will be no addressing the customers as "Bitches", "Morons" or "Retards"!

He's got a point. Anybody remember the boats full of Cubans that reached the US? I bet you most of them weren't just simple people trying to get out of Cuba for a better life. There will be no addressing the customers as "Bitches", "Morons" or "Retards"! -
What was especially damning was all the weapons of all kinds that were recovered inside the restaurant. I think that was one of the factors in the decision to arrest them all, and sort out the details later... Problem is, the bikers themselves aren't helping their own cases by staying mum and refusing to help investigators. There will be no addressing the customers as "Bitches", "Morons" or "Retards"!

What made you stop hating black people in high school? I caught 30 seconds of the news a bit ago while grabbing a cup of coffee and had to laugh at the surprised tone of the newscaster showing people from opposite sides of the discussion hanging out at the state house chatting with each other. My SC (as opposed to this SC) knows that you can disagree without hate. I didn't hate blacks in high school. We had to go to school with them just like anybody else. I just didn't understand the significance of the rebel flag until after I graduated and went to college. There will be no addressing the customers as "Bitches", "Morons" or "Retards"!

I was born and raised in the deep south. Hell, I even had a confederate flag on my wall during my high school days. Then I studied history a bit more closely. And well... the flag went in the garbage. I grew up. There will be no addressing the customers as "Bitches", "Morons" or "Retards"!

He will withdraw before he has to submit his financial disclosure. Trump is in this for attention, that's all. The first time he had a grand socialist health care for all plan, now he is on the tea-party side of the spectrum. The fact he is polling well provides some laughter for those outside of the US. I don't think Trump gives a shit what anybody thinks about his financials. He's got money. Even he's said so. I think he goes as far as he can.
