DOWAGIAC,
Mich. – Classrooms were noticeably empty at Union High School on
Thursday. It’s been almost a week since administrators banned students
from wearing anything with the confederate flag.
Since
then, things at the school have been tense, “It’s been really hectic,
pretty awkward,” Brittany Williams said.
Thursday
was a half day for students, Williams and her friend spent the day
downtown trying to escape the controversy at the high school.
“They
need to stop, they’re doing it on purpose just to agitate people,”
Williams said.
To
her, it’s not just the Confederate flag she finds offensive, it’s the
students who are wearing it and their reasoning behind it. “A lot of
them don’t interact with black people,” Williams said. “So a lot of
them I think are being racist.”
That is arguably the battle flag. The first National flag was far different. But like most things of this nature, if you dont adopt the approved mind set you a racist. Because that was the ONLY thing the civil war was fought over.

Both sides of my family crossed the Potomac , and fought for the South , one of my ancestors was implicated with the Surratts , and I grew up within a stones throw of Dr. Mudds House . I have GREAT PRIDE in my heritage , and WILL NOT BACK DOWN WHEN CONFRONTED ABOUT IT ! My Daughter was confronted at college the other day by an african student , who marched up to her , and called Her a racist because she was wearing a Confederate belt buckle . She just told him that he was wrong , that Her buckle was a St. Andrews Cross , and to google it , as She walked away smiling ; ) > SMIBSID
ReplyDeleteOK, you got a bunch of White Trash Yankees attending UNION High in
ReplyDeleteAbungoflip Michigan donning the Stars and Bars to piss of a few liberal ratbastards and the Mahogany Mob; I get it. But the fact is they are White Trash Yanks and shouldn't be allowed to dishonor that flag. That should be left up to the White Trash Southern's and nobody else....just my opinion.
One mans trash , is another mans treasure ; ) > SMIBSID

ReplyDeleteI-RIGHT-I,
ReplyDeleteThat is not, nor has it ever been the Stars and Bars.
If you're going to be opinionated try to be factual.

Thanks for the history lesson boys and believe me when I say I meant no disrespect to the fallen heroes on either side or the real Americans that keep their memory alive.
