Are you offended by our Founding Fathers or the Constitution they wrote? They were almost all slave owners and Traitors. Do you feel we should rename Washington DC> After all, it is named for a racist slave owner

I'm going to try this again. I'm not out to remove the flag for RACIST reasons. I'm out to remove it for national pride reasons. It should not be celebrated, the actions of the confederates that is. That's what I'm saying.


As for the slave owners, go back and do some research. You'll find it amusing that your southern state governments were quick to make it difficult for anyone to simply "release" their slaves. Some states taxed the owner for each slave he would release. That's why slave owners, like Washington, allowed his slaves to sell products (usually agricultural products) on Sunday at the market and then allow them to buy their freedom, using that money to pay the penalty.

But, I guess my PROFESSORS didn't teach me anything either. :biglmao: That dang liberal education! Should have just taught me that South Carolina was right, that John C. Calhoun was our true American hero, and that life was better with slavery. :eyeroll: YeeHaw.
