Georgia men with Confederate flags threatens to kill children at a birthday party

Sweet conflicting stories from the rednecks

[GreggPopazit]

damn that's messed up. why are hicks so obsessed with the Confederacy? They got they asses handed to them during that war

Because they agree with racist values

A lot of them genuinely convinced themselves that slavery had nothing to do with it and it was about 'state rights'. Never mind that in South Carolina's succession document, they say they're leaving because they're scared that Lincoln will abolish slavery

If Lincoln came back to life today and saw all the Modern Day Republicans carrying Confederate Flags, he'd jump back into his grave

So that version of the story is different from the truckers' other story. They can't even keep it straight. Also, there were no reports of the truckers having people of different races with them other than their after the fact report, which has already been inconsistent.

Which is why this is pretty cut and dry.

If they instigated a confrontation, they'll be charged. If they instigated a confrontation and brandished a weapon, they'll be charged with that too.

But until anything is proven, its she said/he said.

ISH assumes the rednecks are guilty. Why? Is it so hard to just wait until charges are filed, or not filed?

Which was a state right. Slavery was a state right. So now matter how you want to frame it, it was over states rights (including the right to own slaves). You do know slavery was a state right, right? Or didn't you?

The unfair taxes were also about states rights, but that never seems to be mentioned.. Only slavery, cause that's what causes controversy.

Yes, a state's right to own slaves. That's a far cry from succession not being about slavery at all when it was the biggest cause. Truth is without slavery, they don't pull out. Remember they didn't haul ass cause Lincoln passed any Anti-Slavery bills but because they were scared he would.

Ironically, by going to war with the North, Lincoln was able to actually work towards abolition. Before that, he was willing to placate the South and let them keep their slaves in an attempt to keep the Union together

Because the rednecks can't keep their own story straight, which indicates that they are lying.

They are also the ones driving by with flags associated with intimidating black people. It seems like too much of a coincidence that they can't seem to tell a consistent story, and just happened to have a flat tire next to a group of black people while carrying a flag (many of them actually) known as a common symbol of intimidation. We will never have proof unless a video comes out documenting the whole incident, but until then, all we have is evidence and more evidence points towards them.

The only state right they cared about was enslaving black people. That is inherently racist, so although their argument was about state rights, it also had everything to do with being racists. Saying state rights is not inaccurate, but it is also code for "We want to keep our N*****s as slaves!"

Shocking that UK is siding with the hicks

The richest part is that he's a mutt, only half white, his "good side" I guess

Dude is real life Clayton Bigsby

Yes and no.

If something isn't in the constitution, it's under the authority of each state to legislate.

At the time, each state actually did have the right to decide whether slavery was legal or not. As horrific as it is, the federal government actually did not have a legal right to tell states to ban slavery. It actually was literally each state's right to make that decision.

The right way to eliminate the evil of slavery, was to amend it to the constitution, which of course they later did.

It actually was a state's rights issue...... The right to make their own laws regarding slavery in that case.

Do we have proof of that, or is that just something he said to give weight to what he says in race topics?

And once again, you assume.

Do you know thats why they did it?

See, so quick to point the finger, you dont care about credibility or validity. You care about your side winning. That's all.

I dont think its known as a common symbol of intimidation at all. Because you are intimidated by it, doesnt mean everyone is afraid of a piece of cloth.

Pretty sure my mother is Filipino.

Let me check.....








Yep. She still is.

Yes, all 3 versions of the story (the story from the black people, and the 2 different stories from the white people) indicate that they were driving by and had confederate flags on their trucks. There was also video of them driving by with the flags.
