Please Bear WITH me here...
Here’s what gets me..You HAVE a Minister like Wright who REALLY DOES preach Racism and Hatred..
And LOOK,, I’m talking about indisputable,, undeniable,, indefensable EVERYBODY KNOWS it when they HEAR it RACIST Hatred..
The KIND of RACIST HATRED that should OFFEND each and EVRY American,, regardless of Race,, regardless of background,, regardless of creed.... I’d VENTURE to say that it would have INDEED OFFENDED Martin Luther King..It CERTAINLY bore NO resemblence to ANY of HIS speeches of PEACE among ALL Men and Women of ALL colors,, NONE that I have heard anyway....
And WHAT happens???
The ENTIRE MSM spends weeks trying to TELL everybody that THEY didn’t HEAR what THEY know they heard..That WE ALL took it OUT of CONTEXT and IN FACT,, look how racist WE must be to get ALL that upset and worked up over it..They KEPT telling us this RIGHT up until WRIGHT himself shoved it UP their Backsides and made it IMPOSSIBLE for THEM to do ANYTHING other then Finally ADMIT the truth..So,, WHAT do THEY do NEXT??
They come up with EXCUSES for his Racism which as it turns out,, according to THEM,, isn’t really HIS Racism at ALL but MERELY the result of a LIFELONG exposure TO "White Racism"..It’s ALL our Fault..
And EVEN now,, we’re TOLD that despite the DESPICABLE nature of HIS Rhetoric,,WE have to put UP with it because,, after ALL,, it’s HIS right of FREE speech under the Constitution..
NOBODY’S calling for his arrest,, nor SHOULD they..
NOBODY’S calling for ORDINANCES to be passed to SHUT down the Church,, nor SHOULD they..
MUCH as it’s an AFFRONT to DECENT people of ALL races for this to be allowed to continue it STILL remains protected Free Speech under the Constitution..
In OTHER words,, LIKE it or NOT,, THEY have a RIGHT to BE Racists..They’ve EVEN imported ANOTHER Wright type Preacher,, THIS one WHITE,, to pick it up where Wright Left off,,abeit if ONLY to give OBAMA a PERFECT pretext to finally LEAVE the Church and NOT offend the Black Congregation..
So,, NOW,, WHAT do WE have going on today???
We have a Flag that IS,, at it’s WORST,, Controversial.. A FLAG that EVEN the MEDIA doesn’t SEEM to realize ISN’T EVEN the Flag that THEY think it is as has been pointed out by myself and MANY others on this site..Well,, We have THIS Flag being flown over a MEMORIAL to fallen Confederate Soldiers and,, LO and BEHOLD,, ALL hell breaks loose..
To SOME,, a PORTION of the population,, it’s a SYMBOL of EVERY Negative aspect of a region of a nation that ONCE allowed Slavery and THEY have EVERY right to FEEL that way..
To others,, it represents the SPIRIT of the South that HAPPENED to OWN Slaves but HEY,,, THAT isn’t the ONLY thing that SHOULD be remembered about the South..And Guess what?? THEY,, Likewise,, have a RIGHT to THAT opinion..
To other’s, it represent a FREE rebellious spirit that WE ALL should be PROUD of while STILL others believe that that SAME rebellious spirit should be a lesson in SHAME..
MOST simply seem to believe that it represents a PRIDE in ONE’S OWN HOME,,as MUCH for what it IS today as for ANY other reason..
The THING of it IS,,
WHAT the Flag REALLY represents depends on WHO you talk to..It MEANS different things to Different people and I suspect,,it ALWAYS will..
SO,,,,WHAT’S the REACTION here..
We have the SAME MSM that approaches this story from a DECIDEDLY Different and Negative direction..
"oooOOOOoooo,,They’re back,, THOSE guys are back and they WANT to FLY that ugly Flag..THOSE IGNORANT BASTARDS..
HOW DARE THEY??"
Quite a CONTRAST to the portrayal of the cheering and applauding Congregation at the TRINITY Church..
We have the NAACP wanting to appeal to the members of the " Sons of Confederate Veterans" to THINK of the GOOD of the Community and TAKE the Flag down..
Now,,, I NEVER saw or HEARD of ANY group going to that Trinity Church to make Such an APPEAL..
We have the Fla. Chapter of the Anti-Defamation League DEMANDING that the Flag come down..
Correct me if I’M wrong but I don’t remember ANYBODY making DEMANDS on that church either and I’M SURE it would have made the NEWS..
And LAST but NOT least,, WE have a couple of Council Members,, SO far ALL I’ve seen are a couple of White Guilt Ridden Liberals doing this,, CLAMMERING for Laws and Ordinances to SHUT this exibit down,, to STAMP it OUT.. THEY HAVE TAKEN A VOW TO BURY THIS UNDER A PILE OF ORDINANCES..
AND,, They’re GOING to take it up at the NEXT meeting..NO concern for FREE speech here..NO Siree..
SO,,WHAT do WE conclude by making THIS comparison between these two SEPARATE but EQUAL situations..
As I said in My Previous Post..it is beginning to appear that to SOME people,, and THESE are people in positions of POWER,, the POWER to EFFECT our very Lives..The PEOPLE that DO effect our very lives..
ONLY Whites can BE Racist and ALL but Whites have the RIGHT of FREE Speech..
ONCE again Political Correctness TRUMPS the Constitution..
To ME,, SUCH people are FAR worse then ALL the REV.Wrights in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD put together...
