I live in the real world, not the one concocted by the media. Perhaps you could tell us about Kenneth Gladney and the modern day lynching he received by your boys? Seeing as the media had no interest in that story...

Confederate President Jefferson Davis' oath of office to be re-created in Alabama Published: Sunday, December 26, 2010, 6:00 PM By The Associated Press Hundreds of Civil War re-enactors will parade up the main street of Montgomery, Ala., to the state Capitol on Feb. 19 to re-create the swearing-in of Confederate President Jefferson Davis 150 years ago. African-American leaders might protest nearby with a message that the Confederacy should be remembered with shame for trying to keep blacks enslaved rather than with celebration. ---- NAACP Protests 'Secession Ball' In South Carolina CHARLESTON, S.C. â The memory of the Civil War collided with modern-day civil rights Monday as protesters targeted a "Secession Ball," commemorating South Carolina's decision exactly 150 years ago to secede from the United States of America. As blacks and whites gathered in the twilight with electric candles and signs for an NAACP protest, a predominantly white group of men in old-fashioned tuxedos and women in long-flowing dresses and gloves stopped to watch and take pictures before going into the Charleston auditorium where the ball was taking place. NAACP leaders said it made no sense to hold a gala to honor men who committed treason against their own nation for the sake of a system that kept black men and women in bondage as slaves.
Do the German people allow Germans to re-create the rise to power of Adolph Hitler? Do the redneck klannish go apeshit if a Mexican American flies a Mexican flag? Yet somehow the south is allowed to celebrate and take pride in the criminal activities of the Confederacy. Clearly Lincoln made a mistake in not severely punishing the south for their crimes against the Union...it should have been made federal law that any display of the Confederate flag, or any prideful celebrations or any other nonsense by traitors to the United States be met with severe punishment and imprisonment...seize all of their assets, etc.
We were discussing the democratic party of 2010,not 1910.I thought you had that figured out.Republicans of 2010 still celebrate thier ancestors fight to keep black people enslaved though. The democratic party of the past was also the party of southern racists that switched to the current republican party because they were pissed with the (democrats)civil rights act
