Looting

[RCMerchant]

I had a guy and his wife live in the apartment above us. He was a nice guy. Retired, drunk all the time. Kinda like me now. When I started dating Tiana, I brought her over to his house. We were listening to the radio and talking, having a drink, and I went into the kitchen to get the whiskey bottle. He followed me in and said-"That's your girl freind?" I said "Yeah!" He said- "But she's a n****r!"
I walked into the next room and said to Tiana-"Let's go home."

He had a rebel flag hanging on his wall.

RC- thats a plot by northern djs to get people to hate the south

That's what I thought.

Seriously- why should you give a flying fVck if they take these things down. I DON'T think they should destroy them. I would buy one and paint it weird colors and put it in my backyard- holding a hanging plant pot.
And yes- That is what I would plant in it.

The thing was- I never thought because he had a Confederate flag that he was a racist. I had some books on the Civil War and he borrowed them from me. I just thought he was a history buff. Sure was! He loved the Confederacy! He really didn't think of Black folks as people. He was flying the flag. Most folks who do think the same way. Would you wave a Nazi flag in a Jewish neighborhood? Should you wave a Confederate flag in Atlanta? You may as well hang a flag that says "f**k You n****r!", because some folks need to have that feeling " I am better than you!" Gives them a feeling of control over the situation.
I dunno.

People who live in the South who hang Confederate flags may or may not be racist. Anyone north of the Mason-Dixon line who hangs a Confederate flag is almost certainly a racist.

...On the subject of roads named for people, whenever I drive into town I pass a street named for a man who was active in the civil rights movement of mid- last century, both in this city and on a larger stage, married, a minister, and after his death it came out that over the course of his life he had used his influence and position to become involved with multiple underage young women in his congregation and in the larger civil rights movement. It disgusts me that even after #metoo no one seems inclined to take his name off that street after that sort of misconduct.

Who was the road named for?

Let her answer.

[RCMerchant]

^ Yeah, I know what she means. And I know where this is going. I hope not- but I think it may be. Not about MLK....just this conversation.
The accusations against Martin Luther King are from FBI bugs. Those tapes do not exist anymore. How conveinant!
J.Edgar Hoover was out for blood with King. If Hoover had any kind of evidence to bust King- it would have happened then. They were not buddies.
I ain't gonna say it did or didn't happen. But it's questionable. yeah.
Were talking about the Rebel Flag- and you dig up some unproven theory about Martin Luther King.
Way to go!

You are out of line.  You are presumptuous and condescending.     You cannot keep a cork in it.

 ^ Fancy words for some one who just called a board member an ass...and then dismissed my post by saying "Blah blah blah".

No... your post was NOT dismissed ... I wanted you to ANSWER THE QUESTION PUT TO YOU in response to your post, particularly since I THINK we agree.    Here 'tis :

[RCMerchant]

^ so full of yourself. You rag on others- but can't take a hit.
Oh- blah blah blah, ass!   "Blah blah blah- so he was an a***ole?"
No- I didn't think he was an a***ole. He was my friend, and I was disappointed and sad.
That was what I was trying to get across.
If ER was NOT talking about King- I will apoligize to her- not to you.
And I do believe I have the right to respond to someone's post without your permission.

Sure I can take a hit.  Nobody gave me a shot, until now.  
Oh, you can write anything you want.  
And, anyone who calls a guest in his home "that word" is an A$$HOLE.  

Uhm, as I wrote above and to you PM, you can say anything you want.  HOWEVER, you don't answer my question to you BUT you answer my question to ER. (See my reaction above.)
