Frankly Harry, I don't blame her, although she could probably achieve her purpose by simply raising hell over the issue in the newspaper. |

Harry, we in the south fought the war of "states rights" not for the right to have slavery but against special interest that wanted a larger share of the world market in Cotton Goods (cloth). The export tariff on raw cotton killed the agrarian economy of the south. The first shot of the war was against a fort enforcing the tariff. Lincoln was trying to institute Federal policies that would have eliminated slavery SLOWLY. Paying for some to be repatriated to Africa and the rest given land as reparations for being forced into slavery. Much like the Union soldiers got as a mustering out. He was outvoted in Congress and the special interests forced a war on this country. After the war (as a popular president) he had plans to follow thru on his vision and was killed some say by other special interests who saw an opportunity to rape the South. In many cases the "Plantations" in the south were broken up into smaller plots and given to the slaves. You will find in researching the ownership of surviving "Plantations" that most were picked up by people or corporations from the north. True or not that is the prevailing opinion here in the south. While in the North (N.Y. State) I listened to news reports of a newly discovered Cemetery where multiple thousands of black children and adults were found in mass graves. Speculation was that they were from the "Industrial era" just after the Civil War where blacks including children were worked to death in factories and buried in mass graves (The Northern answer to slavery). While there is enough guilt to go around for both the North and the South, on neither side did the PEOPLE fight the War for the reasons attributed to them. The North fought to free the Slaves and the South fought against an overbearing government that wanted to destroy the economy of the south. Your education contains Cultural Bias Harry. |

Dave The confederate flag is an offensive symbol of white supremacy, racism and slavery to millions upon millions of people. Tough. Get over it. Fashioning it into a dress that you wear to a prom is as offensive as fashioning the Nazi swastika into a dress you wear to a prom. Doing either is only meant to inflame and to offend. How do you know that was the intention - do you know this girl? The appropriate place for either symbol is on a pickup truck that some redneck pigs might use in Texas to drag blacks or Jews attached to a chain to their deaths. It's also a reminder of a disturbing war fought valiantly on both sides. It stand for much more than your narrow definition of what is appropriate and what isn't. And if you can't see that, then you aren't as broad minded as you like to say you are. Later, Tom |

And if you can't see that, then you aren't as broad minded as you like to say you are. Later, Tom I'm not one of those who romanticizes the south, either pre or post Civil War, nor did I ever buy into the revisionism of southern "sympathizers" who claim slavery wasn't an overriding issue of that war, and whose ancestors spent some time afterwards lynching blacks, Jews, and Catholics, and who even in the 1960s were resisting the most basic of civil rights for all. And I'm not claiming the rest of the country was "perfect" in the area of civil rights, either. But the south set the standard, as it were. There was nothing glorious about the old south, not if you had dark skin, and that one fact, slavery and the desire to continue it, negates any concept of "valiant" behavior on its side. If you ever want to read about the "righteous" North sometime, look up Frederick Douglas's experiences in the shipyards of Baltimore and his time in Mystic Connecticut. Then come back and tell me about "valiant" behavior. You may not understand it, you may not want to understand it and that's fine. But the men who died for a cause have every right to be remembered, their history, lives and sacrifices celebrated as their descendants choose - not at the dictates of some individuals who have their PC undies in a bunch. Later, Tom |

Harry,, you moron
Wasn't it you who was defending the Islamic and Allah and Mohammed there in another post??? Islamic and Muslim who are taught to hate non islams and nonmuslims. You are now defending those who suffered slavery by your people,, Harry you are all over the place man, you spin from one direction to another,, your more confused than a termite in a yo-yo. Read this again,,, http://www.flex.com/~jai/satyamevajayate/ Read the part about your Mohammed you so nicely defended earlier,, read about his approx 30ith wife, the 6 year old. Or didn't he kill his brother only to marry his wife. Come on there Harry, give the head a shake,,, "Harry Krause" wrote in message ... ...this gal will be allowed to breed: Teen sues over Confederate flag prom dress LEXINGTON, Kentucky (AP) -- A teenager is suing her school district for barring her from the prom last spring because she was wearing a dress styled as a large Confederate battle flag. The lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court claims the Greenup County district and administrators violated Jacqueline Duty's First Amendment right to free speech and her right to celebrate her heritage at predominantly white Russell High School's prom May 1. She also is suing for defamation, false imprisonment and assault. "Her only dance for her senior prom was on the sidewalk to a song playing on the radio," said her lawyer, Earl-Ray Neal. Duty, 19, is seeking actual and punitive damages in excess of $50,000. She said she worked on the design for the dress for four years, though she acknowledged that some might find the Confederate flag offensive. "Everyone has their own opinion. But that's not mine," she told reporters outside the courthouse. "I'm proud of where I came from and my background." Duty, now a college student, said school officials told her before the prom not to wear the dress, but she didn't have another one and decided to see if administrators would change their minds. According to her lawsuit, she was met outside by two police officers and principal Sean Howard. She said the principal intimidated her by striking the vehicle she was in. School offices were closed Wednesday. Superintendent Ronnie Back did not immediately respond to a call to his home seeking comment. The Sons of Confederate Veterans has promised to help pay some of her legal expenses. http://www.cnn.com/2004/EDUCATION/12....ap/index.html |
