Meet your new national hero, Bree Newsome, of Raleigh, North Carolina, who was arrested Saturday morning for climbing the flagpole outside the South Carolina Statehouse in Columbia and taking down the Confederate flag, taking a rather more direct approach to the problem than
... well, this made me laugh. Now that the entire U.S. of A has been all gay-rainbowed up, does anybody believe that the campiest-yet-brilliantly-filmed movie in the "historical era genre" would be banned? Teh Gheyz love this movie and with good reason, and Hollywood does too - I have the soundtracks, the deluxe VHS edition, and the most recent Deluxe DVD box set. Also too the Franklin Mint Porcelain Doll of Scarlett in her green velvet drapes ensemble... I mean, c'mon, after seeing Carol Burnett's hysterical spoof of the scene, how could I not?
... yes, and I'd like to be just as inspiring in fighting the many obstacles to a truly enlightened society here in our country, but alas I can't afford bail once I'm arrested and I can't afford the fine if they decide I'm guilty of something (which they will). But yeah, I will cheer from the sidelines with all my might for those who actually walk the talk.
... actually, I think they like their job enough to do what they're told. The "yassah, massah!" mindset hasn't been completely eradicated it seems. Not the fault of the blahs of course, they know better than anyone what it means to "go along to get along". Sadly.
They used both excuses...and the big one: the confedsymps use the rag of traitors as a way around the Flag Code-since that rag was never actually a flag they don't have to follow the Flag Code when they fly it...such as the requirement of flying the US flag in an equal or superior position. Assholes.
It's a clusterfuck best visited right now and always...the price of Liberty is eternal vigilance.
idk, I am with you on the park things, but memorials to dead people we oughta leave be. That actually is all about heritage and dead ancestors and whatever else, as opposed to a bit of a rag that represented the portion of the army of an enemy country.

... after we take off our thermal gloves. Well, during the 6 months of winter, anyway. We are polite all 12 months.
... and now it's extinguished?
... or not... Larry Wilmore did a hilarious skit on this tonight on his show.
I caught that. He's really made the 11:30 time slot his own, hasn't he?
