Great question. I would like to know the answer to that one.

:agree:

why do that?

Here's the answer. Why doesn't the minimum wage employee who obviously has the skills and knowledge of a CEO get the capital and start their own 1600 store business? That way they won't have to make minimum wage anymore. What a concept!

Are some liberals that unsuccessful in life that they hate anyone who is successful?

Hey golfingnut, how many jobs do you provide young people just getting started in the workforce? How much are you paying them?

Instead if just blowing hot air, why don't you go to a chick-fil-a, buy a sandwich and ask the first young person behind the counter that helps you the question? Ask them how they feel?

Afraid of the answer?

None, I am retired. My turn. Do you really believe the stars and bars is not a racist symbol.

Ok, so how many jobs DID you provide for young people just starting in the workforce and how much did you pay them?

I don't know, ask him.

I worked for the Federal government via the United States Army most of my life and that was a large business so I have to say none.

I watched video you attached: THE TRUE SOUTH THROUGH MY EYES. Once again, I must stop and think about that. WOW that is truly a moving video with a take on the stars and bars that I never Heard, never Considered. I am left speechless. Thank you for the video and I will search my heart for a different understanding about the Confederacy and their flag. I have been humbled by that wonderful witness to the south.

:agree:

So my point is,

I don't see anyone here providing work for the millions of young people out of work so why pound away at those who do?

The question was asked

My answer is simple... why don't you guys go ask them? I'm sure they have an opinion.

As far as the stars and bars, some think it is and some think it isn't. That's obvious. If you call one racist, you have to call the other racist I would think because the stars and strips was the northern flag flying over most all of the slave ships, not the confederate flag. It's all a matter of opinion and how much research you want to do.

I know many here of both colors that are proud of the stars and bars. Some feel otherwise for sure.

another redistributionist liberal progressive I presume.

:agree:

if you do not like the South why did you move here to a 99% white community? Protest with your feet. Facing off and keep walking.

The stars and bars is history. Nothing more nothing less. It happened to be the banner of the confederation of states that was trying to preserve their manpower tradition. It is a piece of cloth. Nothing more and nothing less unless you're the type who just refuses to move on.

I love the south and I am white, so I am confused to just what you are trying to say. Sorry if you don't know either.

I think in general there are very few people who are truly racist except for the most extreme. Living in TN for the last 4.5 years I have yet to meet one, black or white. People should be judged on the content of their character not the color of their skin. Many here in TN are proud of the starts and bars as it relates to their true history and ancestry... both black and white.
