Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

[Yoda]

As an actual son of the South, descendent of Confederate soldiers and student of history I do want you to know that, in this particular case, you are quite wrong.

Are there silly people who connote the flag with something other than what it actually represents, sure. The Confederate battle flag and the statues being pulled down in cities all over the South, however, represent these things - rebellion in the cause of slavery and continued political and economic dominion of white people over black people in the South during the Jim Crow era. Any other justification is, respectfully, crap.

There are any number of alternative symbols of the South, its proud welcoming people and unique culture. That specific flag and the statues erected many decades after the conclusion of the war (in the case of General Lee, against his expressed wishes) are not proper symbols to elicit pride. They are shameful.

Are you a democrat or republican? It’s a fair question

 

[Yoda]

Those people are actors.

What fake news and all that!

I have voted for both. Does that color your interpretation of my remarks?

He will tell you why you are wrong and that his wife is a confederate and they lived next door to General Lee.

You sir are an oppressor of other people’s views, you have no right to say what should and what shouldn’t be allowed to be displayed, just like I shouldn’t!! So I wouldn’t insist on it neither should you

Do whatever you like in private.

Why is that a fair question in response to his comments?

Republican in the past I take it? It will prejudice my interpretation if you tell me why you changed from republican to democrat. Very interested in why and if you don’t mind an idea of your age

Because as mentioned before and agreed by others who oppose me they have said it’s pretty one sided by USA leftists. So is that okay?

There are plenty of independent voters in this country.

They are and although unrelated to the debate as of this week The one on the right was also convicted of inappropriately touching two women.

It was your opinion, don't think you are oppressing anyones views?

K don’t get that, is that some kind of insiders joke

I disagree. They are plenty of Conservatives who do not think confederate symbols/statues belong in public.

He might have followed the Presidents advice and grabbed them by the you know what.
