The N-Word

[TheTman]

A piece of cloth, that stands for whatever most people want it to stand for. Pride, hate, heritage. Maybe if they taught history, they might know a little more about it. Too many think the War of Northern Aggression was fought to free the slaves, when Lincoln himself said if leaving the slaves alone would end the war, he'd leave them as slaves. The emancipation proclamation only freed slaves in rebel held territory, and didn't free a single slave that was in a state that was not in rebellion. I wonder how many black people know that? I'm sure that isn't taught in schools. I think it was glossed over when I was in school. It would probably cause a riot these days.

We're living in a Godless, perverted, if it feels good do it world, with few morals, and where life is cheap. People die over a wearing the wrong color in the wrong part of town. Some kids get entertainment from knocking some guy out that's not expecting it. Women have babies by several different men, to collect that check every month. Men are taught to be sensitive and feminine by the schools, then women cry about their being no real men, and end up dating jail birds, because those are "real men". People feel entitled to things they didn't earn, and try and take them from those who earned it. Some folks get unhinged at the mere sight of a gun, while some use them indiscriminately, instead of settling things with their fists, it turns into a shootout, unless one guy has 10 homeboys with him and the other guy is alone or maybe only has a couple homeboys. Thankfully the vast majority use guns as intended for self defense and hunting and sports.
When they kicked God out of the schools, and quit teaching moral values, things began to change. Often school was the only place some kids got any moral guidance at all, with lousy parents, or one parent too busy to teach them much of anything, and no Church life. Now the socialist progressives have taken over the schools, it's all about indoctrination instead of education. Kids graduate reading at 4th grade level, but that's ok, move them through and get them out on the streets, unless they are a good ball player, then they'll try and work with them some. Don't dare hold them back a grade and make them learn something, and hurt their self esteem. Why even keep up the charade, when a kid has learned all he is going too, and school is just to hook up with girls or get dope, go ahead and give them their diploma and quit wasting time with them. The world needs wrench turners and burger flippers just as much as it needs doctors and engineers. Concentrate on the few that actually want an education. Get rid of the troublemakers.
I don't understand this country either, but I can see some of what caused us to be where we are at. This nation was founded on Biblical principles, and freedom OF religion, not FROM religion. Even atheists have a god, they call it evolution. I don't expect things to get any better. Not with this current gang of crooks we have running the country, or anyone likely to replace them. Mostly they care more about the corporations and lining their pockets, than they do about the people they are supposed to represent. I'll give a few of them credit for at least appearing to be honest, but appearances can be deceiving. We need to vote the whole mess of them out, but everyone thinks their congressman is doing a bang up job, and votes them back in. Or they don't want to vote for a Republican, or a Democrat. And term limits are sorely needed. 2 terms are plenty. But that will never happen.

Edit: "...The South seceded from the Union over the issue of states rights, not over the issues of slavery... (Muggsy)"

That was kinda my point- we are still fighting for states rights. Except now its nearly every state....not just the Southern states.

"Then don't go on about gun control when we learn the way he came about the ownership of the gun, was through a straw purchase since he had a felony arrest and was not eligible to own a gun. If the gun laws were followed in this case, he would not of had a gun, but his father broke the law by giving him the gun."

the laws are written and some times even enforced. in this case I can only hope that father and son do many years in cells next to each other.

I just read that he bought a Glock .45 from a gun store, because his arrest was only a misdemeanor and his background check went through. I have no idea if that is accurate or not.
One of these days we'll be able to separate the facts from the fiction.

On a more positive note, Charleston has told the race baiters to stay away, No Sharpton, No Obama, and for sure one guy that seems to make a living off of stirring up trouble DeRay McKesson. Although he's trying his best to start something. They don't need no riots and looting and such. Good for them!

Most adults in the "REAL" south got past the race issue many years ago and treat each other with respect. We don't want problems anymore. Having lived in the south and NE I can tell you I heard a MANY more racial slurs in the NE and if you ask me the democrat strongholds have i lot more of a problem to resolve than the deep south.

What I see more now here is the issue of the media manipulating the weak minded youth in their teens and 20's of all races and my fear is the things that were resolved in the past will return only reversed. I hope Charleston shows how it should really be handeled.

[Scarywoody]

I'm from the NE and have now lived in Atlanta for 12 years. I agree with yqtszhj that there is more respect shown between races in the south than the north. There is also the fact that just about everyone down here carries a gun. So, I'm nice just out of knowledge of that. I have, however, been openly discriminated against because of my European American appearance. There is a rising pressure building. No telling if the good old boys down here are going to lay down or rise up.

I will have to say that the residents of Charleston are to be praised for their response over this event. It could of easily of escalated into riots or worse. They are also to be praised for keeping the race baiters away, like Sharpton and Jackson. They do nothing but incite more anger and hate, and to think they call themselves Reverends.

I lived and worked in ATL in the 80's and experienced the same thing. My asian wife experienced the same thing from those of African decent. I guess I should have protested. ATL is a hotbed for that. Its worse there than anywhere in Alabama or Tennessee that I have experienced.

I dislike 99% of democrats policies but the President used the dreaded n-word in a semi clinical manner. Kind of like ***** or vagina spoken by a nurse or doctor, not a big deal.

Of course, he's trying to change America but that's another topic.

Seems like something doesn't like the dreaded p-word in my post above but the v-word is fine. WTF?
