Or the riots in Crown Heights where Blacks beat
Jewish residents, or LA, where Koreans caught the
flame.

Rodney King was high, driving recklessly, and he fought
back. Unlike the white truck driver brutally beaten
by Black rioters in the name of vengeance.

Market conditions my ass. Black on black crime
is a self-perpetuating cycle that is almost
entirely unique to the past thirty years -- not
because of market conditions but because of
the drug problem, defeatist government programs
that promote generational dolism, anti-intellectualism
plaguing the Black youth, and the high and mighty
"Blacks can do no wrong" attitude our so-called
Black leadership takes up anytime somebody bluntly
points out the problems we have that are OUR
responsibility to solve.

Because simply saying you have 100 million dead over 200
years does not qualify as a holocaust. They're casualties
of the Diaspora, or does Black American now believe there
was a national effort to exterminate the Black race from
Africa and America?
We slam Southern whitefolk for having the balls to want
to respect their ancestors, who fought in one of the
most just wars in history, complaining about a goddamned
flag instead of focusing on real problems in our communities.
Tell me why I should waste a check on the NAACP when
the only thing Kweisi Mfume can do is make a damned
fool out of himself on national television as cop
after cop destroys his arguments highlight after
highlight. I haven't seen a beating that bad since the
Horowitz debate.

So now everybody who honors that flag, falls the
the category of the murderers of Mr. Byrd. Guess
what, Timothy McVeigh fought in the Gulf War. Should
we go and rip off the service patches of veterans
in order to ease the pain of the victims? That
we hate the symbol so much sickens me; we dishonor
those Black men who fell under the Confederate
flag.

This by far is the biggest cop out I hear from the
leftist camp. Day in day out I hear how the US
has done so and so wrong and then when it suits
the purposes of an argument leftists are all willing
to get patriotic.
I love this country, and I respect the Civil War as a
decisive point in our nation's search for liberty.
In that vein, I have to respect the Confederacy. Without
that war, an important question in our country's
legal development would have gone unanswered.
