I think the two juxtaposed to each other makes for a very interesting argument.
Namely is it "just" to murder in defense of ones idea liberty?
Was John Brown a terrorist?

Hmmmmm Let us see.
A few months ago Iraqi electrical workers held a street protest to demand more security for their fellow workers.
There has been an assult on Iraqi electrial line men who are attempting to restore or provide electricity in all parts of Iraq.
Several of their brothers have been SHOT DEAD while they were atop an electrical pole by a Freedom Fighter with a machine gun shooting up at them.
These people were not collaborating with the USA. They were simply attempting to improve the standard of living for the families living in the country.
Please justify the act of shooting an electrical worker while he is atop a pole as a fight for FREEDOM?
This is an example of BAD (as in pathetically poor) reasoning/questioning.quote:Please justify the act of shooting an electrical worker while he is atop a pole as a fight for FREEDOM?

The original post did not say "Confederate Pride" it said "Southern Pride".
YES "Dirty South" represents Black SOUTHERN CULTURE.

Not so, my friend. The Black people who YOU are silent up on as you go after BLACK CONSERVATIVES do all of this for me. I just sit back and say "Forgive them Lord for they know not what they do".

The main people who you SHOULD BE attacking because they are dragging us down YOU ARE SILENT UPON. You seem them as VICTIMS.
I want to work to be your VICTIM Kevin. This way I will escape your CONDEMNATION for any thought that I have that you deem harmful. What do I need to do to be labeled your vicitm Kevin? (No doubt it starts with ceasing my questioning of you and getting DOWN WITH THE PROGRAM, but that is a given).

No. Sadly it is a REAL PICTURE from Africans who were influenced by AMERICAN SAMBOS to use this name. A Black American cyclist riding the length of the continent spotted this store along his journey.
Huey:
Think about this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In YOUR response you TARGET ME!!!!!!!!!!!
You say NOTHING about the AMERICAN SAMBOS who have motivated these people who live in a different culture to use a word that MEANS NOTHING TO THEM but is offensive to Black Americans. They got this from listening to the music and the images of these AMERICAN SAMBOS.
BUT AGAIN YOU TARGET ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Think about how warped and MISDIRECTED your swipe at me is.
