Cuomo signs bill banning sale of Confederate flags

a reply to: Ringsofsaturn777

Can you quote me saying I equate the Confederate flag with racism?

As I stated clearly, it reminds me of high school.

The Chinese flag makes me think of many things, among them totalitarian dicatorships.

Dictatorships take hold when the rights of the People are trampled.

New York is, in my opinion, stomping on the First with their law.

There are 'fighting words' rulings the Supreme Court has upheld but most of what people say in public are just mouth noises you can ignore.

Depends on the observational distance.

Let's think about this for a moment.

A flag is a representation of something else ... like the United States or the Confederacy or Nazi Germany.

And to some extent, we can reasonably infer that those who promote those symbols or defile them are expressing their own true feelings.

What can we reasonably infer about someone who displays a confederate flag, chinese flag, american flag.. and why?

Do you think someone carrying a flag does it for exercise?

Why would you jump to my statement that carrying a Nazi flag shows true feelings ... to be feelings of racism?

There's a quote function, BTW.

Teacher teacher can I answer?

Confederate = racists
Chinese = someone who is proud of their heritage
American = racist that is too ashamed to carry the confederate one

It’s What the tv and the internet told me. Must be right.

For reference, here's what I said. Please point to where I said that the Confederate Flag reveals true feelings of racism.

Why would we not want to know what their intentions and beliefs are? From a practical viewpoint.

Do you trust CNN?

I don't.

a reply to: Gryphon66

Oh, yes implicitly! THEY didnt cover any of the tampering with the election in PA, WI, MI or Nevada or AZ so of course it didn't happen! All that talk is just right wing nut racist conspiracy business promulgated by nut job media outlets like OAN and Epoch Times and.....the Washington Post...and, whatever. So we should of course just ignore the mountains of evidence becuse after all, who you gonna believe..........CNN or your lying eyes?

Well, CNN of course!

So you cant buy one but if you want you can print one, he has not banned anything really just prevented the sale of something

anyone in this thread who wants one can just print one, you do have some red ink still dont you?

seems like a lot of fuss over nothing, not seeing the "whole 1st" being eradicated by this

What true feelings can you reasonably infer from someone displaying the confederate flag?

They like something about the Confederacy?

Combined with a gray uniform ... could be someone with a passion for Civil War reinactment?

Combined with a Haralson County HS jersey ... could be a loyal Rebel, yee-haw?

Combined wih the display of the Nazi flag ... could suggest a white supremacist?

Just off the top of my head ...

The world sure is scary.

Not generally why?

So you might agree that if someone is carrying a flag, they feel strongly about what it symbolizes?

Is that a stretch? Becasue thats what I said taht you seem so disturbed by.
