I found the oddest thing in Roger's coat pocket

but all those people protesting down south for the removal of the Confederate flag don't agree with you, Beauty. they happen to remeber its use -- or misuse, perhaps -- by the KKK, white supremacists and the like.

OK ... My hands hurt from sitting on them, though.

Becki there are many blacks down here that feel that way! Blacks and Whites that just want the racial diversion to end. It is sad that some people still live by the steriotype that all Southerners are members of the KKK and black hating people.....Thats so untrue!! Some of my "uncles" (my dad's best friends) are black men. These men would do anything in the world for me and I for them. When my father died they were pall bearers.

There are still people down here on both sides of the black/white fence that "hate" but it isn't the norm. If you drove down the highway here you would see tons of rebel flags....they are our history, nothing more.

Please let us know what it ends up being!!!

Uh...can I ask a stupid question? What were you doing looking through his pockets?

 

[honeywolf7]

Ted and Holly, I think we already figured out what it WAS. Beauty, Roger's not even from the South (he's from Jersey) and still feels that way. Cookie, he loaned me the coat and I stuck my hand in the pocket. He's not around to ask....on his way to pick up his kids and then go home.

 

[Beauty]

I'm not at all surprised by the people answering and baiting me here....so I won't worry about it.......you guys really need to grow up!

If Becki is dating a black man and he says its history then that should show you that all blacks don't feel that way. Yes some do but some don't. I'm not going to fight with you people again...why don't you go back to your DYSfunctional board and GROW UP!

Everyone has opinions if you don't agree then be adult about it. And say "I don't agree with your opinion" and drop it. UUGGHH....you people are what hate stands for....

Don't sit on them.

 

[lil mermaid]

This is an extremely strange thread.

 

[CyranoJones]

Beauty, I do not agree with your opinion.


Clear enough?

 

[ratsrule]

OK let me grab and old Nazi flag and fly it high, cause it's just a part of our history

 

[Beauty]

Okay I must know why all of you jump in like a gang!! Are you the DYS Gang? Please.....

Guns were used to murder slaves - should we boycott guns?

Crosses were burned - Should no one wear them???

and last but not least....if the Rebel flag stands for what you all say then why do blacks also fly it? Its Southern Heritage.....yes it was around during slavery just like tons of other things that we don't boycott.

Oh forget it yall are a bunch of idiots anyway.....why do I even bother with INTELLIGENT conversation. Ooops I'm attacking let me go turn myself in.

 

[robinb]

Ouch! It hurts when the blood flows back .

Beauty, I also do not agree with your opinion.

 

[honeywolf7]

This thread isn't long for the boards but at least I know what that thing was now.

 

[Ted and Holly]

Maybe you folks should take this to the debate boards.....

I'm still trying to figure out what the "mystery" item is!

[CookieGVB]

Beauty, there are some people who feel that the confederate flag should have gone the same way as the confederate money - worthless and never used again. There are just too many instances where its use was for hate's rather than for history's sake.

If you view it differently, that's you. But don't turn a blind eye and deaf ear to others who don't.

 

[robinb]

Sorry your tread got highjacked! At least you know what the thing is now ... a skullcap .

 

[aahmom1]

UUGGHH....you people are what hate stands for....

A little harsh, don't you think?

Not everybody is going to think that confederate flag is ok, you had to know that. Wasn't there a BIG fight to get it taken off a building in South Carolina? You need to remember that there are going to be people who disagree, and you'll have to get over it. You're not going to be able to convince people you're right in this situation. Period.

do rags do not equal hate

confederate flags do rags equal hate.

You have your opinion...you're the one who posted the picture...don't blame me or anyone else who feels strongly about the Confederate flag.
