If I'm in the 'hood and call a local a "nigger" I'd probably get assaulted or shot, but if a black calls another black a nigger it's no big deal. Hell, I just try to put the blacks on "ignore" and trundle merrily along ...

No it's not, it's right on point. The Lefties say we have to get rid of everything that reminds us of slavery. Burn the Confederate flag, take it totally out of the history books, pull down all the Confederate statues because they remind us we had slavery. Then what then what do they do? Have their faux Lefty crook president sign into law a holiday that will remind us every year of slavery. That's what's stupid here.

If we are going to get rid of everything that reminds of slavery shouldn't the Democrat Party change their name since they were the slavery and Jim Crow party?

I'm not saying, I'm just saying.

The President is a fink.

I'm not saying, I'm just saying. Once again Republicans are never more proud of their party than when they took liberal positions. The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

I'm not saying, I'm just saying. And the KKK was once considered the militant wing of the Democrat Party. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

You know what I'm saying is true. Remember the big deal over the Confederate flag a couple years ago? They told us it had to go because it was a constant reminder of slavery. Surely you have not forgotten that. AZ was correct, pointing out the hypocrisy of the left what's Rush Limbaugh's forte. He would have spent an entire hour talking about the hypocrisy of this stupid holiday and the Lefties are like children, they can't figure out what they want from one day to the next.

No, you haven't addressed how celebrating the end of slavery is the same as statues honoring the confederacy.

Duffman could have just as easily suggested that getting rid of Nazi symbolism because Jewish people want to forget, and Jewish people remembering Holocaust victims means the same thing.

Keep making fools of yourselves with this argument. You're doing a good job of that.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Yeah, this Fourth of July coming up what's going to be on my mind is how we were once a British colony. Instead of going out and enjoying the fireworks, I will sulk in my bedroom and sullenly lament about King George III.

That's the human condition. Some things never mean much of anything to some people, and many things go from fresh or interesting to routine.

I'm not sure if trying to induce artificial appreciation where none is felt is a good aim. Or maybe I'm being too cynical. Parents usually want to set a good example for their kids, so that may involve some acting on their part at times. Is that a good thing? Or should you always be honest as possible?
