Mind sharing where you went to school in Texas?

Texas A and M Corpus Christi. By no means did I see anything similar in the likited time I spent in San Antonio, Houston, Austin, or Dallas. Not trying to paint such a diverse and large state with my little expierence in mostly one relatively small, poor, uneducated city.

I honestly didn't think you were. Thanks for sharing.

BTW, my grandfather was a professor for nearly 50 years just down the road in Kingsville.
 
Prior to finding out about it's association with pro slavery in many peoples minds* I should say.

I was going to say the flag originated out of that association, and appreciate the correction.

Completely agree on all. But I always thought aesthetically the confederate flag is better looking.

While I disagree, I'm biased. My grandfather served in WW2, even with the blemishes I do find our history interesting.

I can't find it aesthetically pleasing. But I also hate what it stands for. You acknowledge that, and it's fair that you like it.

To me I just see a bunch of people trotting it around, who the people responsible for it's creation looked down on. A bunch of uneducated fools, just a step above the slaves to the elites in the south. These people are fools. Like Thomas Jefferson, has been held up in these peoples eyes. Thomas Jefferson looked down on everyone who wasn't himself. He would have hated these moonshine drinking farmers scraping by who picked up arms in the civil war.

He'd look down on these budlight drinkers driving a 40k truck parked in front of the trailer.

You think Jefferson Davis, or Robert E. Lee were understanding of common people. The only difference between the poor southern whites and the slaves was obvious.

I know of Kingsville never went. You're right, just down the road. Cool to hear. Where do you reside if you don't mind me asking.
 
Let's also call attention to the police here.
No riot gear, batons, tear gas, military vehicles, etc.

Largely in their every day attire; all very causal. Many if not most even have their backs to the protesters/marchers....looking for the threat to come from outside this group.

Compare that to the BLM marches.
It boggles my mind that RATM was just so far ahead of the curve almost 30 years ago ffs.

Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
 
A quick question for any of the american contributors here, (or anyone who may know for that matter). If Trump invokes the Insurrection act in order to 'take back' control, say for example of the Free Capitol Hill zone, what impact does that then have on a state governor? Would they automatically be removed from their position?

Im not sure. But if he gets removed (doubtful) it might help that state out
