God Bless Robert E. Lee
A one-dimensional understanding of history leads people do a lot of stupid things. Robert E. Lee deserves to be honored and all the ignorant individuals out there who don't understand can just kiss my tail!

The IQ crisis is real. Those who don't learn the lessons of history are bound to repeat the mistakes. You can't learn these important lessons if you wipe out the memory of historical events. Stupid people topple historic statues. Stupid people ban historic flags. When a country is run by stupid people the outcome is not good.

Those who destroy and remove historic statues are no different than those who burn books.

mrgreen: I'd say the same about those who ban historic flags. Pure ignorance!

It's a little surprising that this has not developed into a tit for tat type of thing: For every Confederate statue that gets taken down by one side, a statue of MLK would be taken down by the other side. Maybe this hasn't happened because there is no other side.

Ryan Upchurch Responds To Luke Combs Apology
This Luke Combs guy sounds like a total sell-out. What a spineless POS!

Ryan Upchurch "Can I get a Outlaw” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO
Here's the song at the center of this controversy. Not that great of a song. In fact, it's pretty weak, but the one thing that seems especially lame is all the cigarettes. Drunk parties are kind of lame too, but there are Confederate flags in the background and on people's shirts. Not seeing a problem with celebrating the history of the Confederacy!

The video isn't even close to impressive, but the fact that a certain flag appears in the video makes absolutely no difference and should not be a focus of discussion. Then again, obviously the video got a little extra attention as a result of this controversy and so a little free publicity was all that was achieved.

Car Deemed "Raaacist" - Must Stay In Storage Indefinitely!
The sad thing is that the guy actually apologized for the flag. He should have doubled-down and defiantly proclaimed his heartfelt pride!
