He makes a lot of good points, and being from central Texas, I definitely agree there are characters like that that do care about football more than education, but the south does have some pretty respectable academic institutions, such as: Vanderbilt, Miami, Rice, Texas at Austin, and UVA and UNC, just to name a few...
Why is it that if you are any other race than white you can yell, scream, tear things up and do pretty much anything in anyway that you see fit in order to express who are and why you feel that way, but if your white you can't even think of the term "I'm proud to be white" without having to be humiliated for saying that. "I am Very Proud to be a Straight, White-Male and American!" If that offends you ...then to fuckin' bad!!!
@mmm2374 you know the answer to that question...to make it sweet and short...whites lived off the backs of the ideology of racism and used that tool to keep people down...get over yourself...the white power structure is dying and either you change or get left behind...stop being a hillbilly.
the God-Squatters and the Gun-toters are running this country into the ground. No grasp on reality. Anything done is in the name of God, and they hide behind it when they're wrong.
What is wrong?
Wrong is discriminating against any type of minority that isn't what they are
You don't read the Bible? You're the DEVIL!
You go to public school? You're a LIBERAL!
You really believe Obama was born in America? You're a TRAITOR!
@grimetime55 their minds are poisoned by racism...they want to live in the future but still use primitive thinking....as soon as obama says something they scream...socialist or "he gon take my guuuuuns away"....
Look i live in texas, the south. I admit there are a lot of fools here, i dont get bothered hearing insults towards these individuals. There are plenty here who deserve it! What bothers me is how so many people just label the entire south as poor dumb idiots. Sure we have our fair share of those. But take a look at ohio.. michigan, and Pennsylvania. we arent the only ones people. I lived in the arizona and newmexico as well.. Trust me there are plenty of poor dumb ppl EVERYWHERE. Give it a break
Southern white males supporting the interests of.....Southern white males
What a radical concept
You cannot give me one good reason why any group wouldn't support themselves. Latinos, blacks, Asians all support their interets in this country and it's acceptable.Today it's unacceptable for whites to support their interests
Not to mention Latinos,blacks,Asians outside the US all have homogeneous countries where their interets are the default. No minorities there to go against their interests
@NoMorFear southern white males dont support southern white males because they dont all think like that but some do support white supremacy...thats where they fail....
Colin Cowherd has such a lack of radio talent it blows my mind every time I hear that he still has a syndicated show. WAKE UP ESPN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Colin is an infommercial voice that has NOT ONE original opinion. His show is formulaic at best, and consists of a clown voice giving us lessons on how to get sports radio ratings along with STUPID, uncreative comparisons about 'the hot girlfriend, ex-girlfriend etc etc etc', from a CLEAR contrarian. Give me Doug Gotlieb ANY day.
The Civil war was not about slavery. It was about power in the government. The South felt they no longer had a voice or were represented..... this country was based on "No taxation without representation" Please learn your history before you blame someone who's ancestors died fighting for this flag and their way of life.
@BuckSnort101 "Their way of life" = slavery. States should (and do) have the right to run things generally how they see fit, but the federal government has every right to step in when such a gross injustice is permitted and institutionalized in that state. If a US state decriminalized rape, should the federal government not step in and say "Rape is wrong. Make it a crime. Enforce the law, or we will." I wonder how many black southerners believe state's rights come before human rights?
@wjaiv I would agree with you if what you say is historically correct... however that is not the case... as I mentioned previously the war was not started over human rights, slavery, or bc the Union / North didn't allow slavery or even stepped in... The only reason the North fought the south was because the south fired on a Northern fort and had succeeded from the Union much like the 13 colonies declared their independence from England.
@BuckSnort101 when you succeed from a country you are declaring war. The reason for this was the issue of slavery which was the cental point of the war. Confederate flag is based upon this hatred for blacks and use a symbol historically to represent the pride of southern whites who fought to keep the blacks "in their place". over time the south has tried to rationalize their position so as not to look bad, but a spade is a spade.
@smoothbrother69 As I said before... succession was declared because the constitution had been broken in the eyes of the Southerners. They no longer felt they had a voice in government or that they were rightfully represented. "No taxation without representation." This is the reason for "The Civil War" I encourage you to do some digging... sometimes history is written by the victor. When you declare independence you need a flag for your new country... (The Rebel Flag)
@smoothbrother69 You may also want to know that "Rebel" comes from the word Rebellion or Rebelling... it has no ties to hatred for anyone (racism)... and is often used in Africa for freedom fighter groups. Am I saying that people weren't racist in The South? NO... But what I am saying is that The American flag wouldn't be looked down upon had The British won the American Revolution.
@smoothbrother69 I guess what I'm trying to say... is that when they "created" the Rebel Flag... they were not thinking about slavery... The reason it is an X with stars means they are ex American or former Americans. It has also been called stars and bars.
@BuckSnort101 U cant separate the confederacy from slavery or jim crow. The rally cry of the south was hatred for black who they felt the North was imposing their equality on them. Why I see that the design of the flag was not implicity about slavery the creation of the flag and what it represent have everything to do with it. Really it is the jim crow era that sprung up after the civil war that attempted to justify the south and villify the African Americans b/c the north was also racist.
One problem there....Jim Crow had nothing to do with the Confederacy. The CSA was disbanded at least two decades before Jim Crow--which was upheld by the US Supreme Court FYI--came into existence.
@darthroden Jim Crow came about because of the south hatred towards African Americans who they felt that the north had been trying to push their equality upon the south. After the civil war AA were given the same rights as the whites. But contray to what the american myth is the south rebel against this and form units to intimidate blacks and push the Union army out. Really what happeans is the North and South come to an agreement which creates Jim Crow.
This is totally untrue. As far as the "southern white male" thing goes. From my experience, whites and blacks gather and get along much better in the south. Northern Whites in my opinion have a very passive form of racism, but it exists more in states such as Ohio or Iowa where the black population is minimal, than it does in Alabama or South Carolina.
@fsufantampa that's actually a pretty good point. i've never been to the south but I can tell you from experience, racism in the North is pretty bad especially in the 'burbs where I live.
confederate flag is a disgrace. it's a testament to the dignity of this country that we allow a flag to be flown which stands for and represents direct military opposition to the very country in which it is flown. What it symbolizes (THE ENSLAVEMENT OF AN ENTIRE RACE OF PEOPLE...call it "state's rights" if you wish) is disgusting...but the country which was victorious above such profanity - and is gracious enough to even enable a flag of treason to be flown is indicative of how great the USA is.
BOTTOM LINE: the confederate flag is a symbol of armed resistance against the United States of America to keep an entire race of human beings ENSLAVED... period! (I am a 22 year-old white, Irish-Catholic male). You can claim "states rights," however, the only rights you've professed is the right to ENSLAVE AN ENTIRE RACE OF HUMAN BEINGS and your flag stands for nothing more than that very insane overture just described. Pure and simple that flag is a disgrace upon the dignity of this country.
Well maybe because being undefeated Auburn stands a chance for going all the way.
Carolina on the other hand, even if they got somehow lucked out and got past Auburn would get eaten alive by a team like Oregon or the Longhorns or the Trogans.
As a lifelong Gamecock fan, I am just happy they got as far as they did, and to me beating Clemson 2 years running and ending the so-called "Chicken Curse" will be reward enough.
I believe that taking the view of that flag as a racist symbol away, denying it to the racist would do more good than banning it and condemning all Southerners regardless of who they are who display it as bigots.....why is that so difficult an idea? I am not saying it would be easy, but education not condemnation is the best course.
Nothing wrong with being proud of your heritage, it should be nothing you should be ashamed of, it was just a different time back then an both sides may have been wrong (North an South) Not all Southerners owned slaves, an many Northerners did, but the image is what this country is kind of made of, an flying it is going to offend people.
@aldeb456 hmmm so i guess it good to be proud of a heritage that includes slavery, an attempt at secession and many other acts of treason.....yes northerners had slaves but when the issue came up they let them go....the south didnt want to thats why they tried to secede from the union.
First of all, no Confederate was ever tried for treason....the concept of it in this war did not apply since there was no defining rule about the right of secession until after the war.
Second you are very wrong, remind me again which state was the first to outlaw the Slave Trade....that would be Virginia pal.
Jefferson Davis was imprisoned for two years without a trial which never came because the administration (to which Andrew Johnston was little more than a figurehead...Stanton ran things more or less) had too hard a time finding a legal precedent to use. There was no ruling on a right of secession until 1869 Brown Vs Texas. Prior to this there was endless debates on the matter...and Davis was freed from jail but disenfranchised and not allowed even the vote.
@darthroden uh did you hear me say that he went to trial or did you hear me say he was indicted? there is a difference between going to trial and being indicted.
The thing is though the flag does not have to offend anyone who really honors its meaning as a symbol of Southern identity and remembrance of Southern dead.
There are more white and black Southerners who believe that view of the flag than the latter...trust me on this, i have seen it, both on U-Tube and in my worldwide travels.
-2- The south fought against the North (the Union) an lost. Other parts of the world, a flag is flown that was a symbol of sepearation that is like an act of Treason. That's all I'm saying. Again, I respect your passion!
Today all across the South most people who display that flag do so for no racist reasons (either outright or subtle). Indeed I think you will find that 95% of the people who do display it do so for purely benign reasons.
I will even go further, I do not buy into the notion that African-Americans universally believe that flag to be evil or racist. There are plenty of U-Tube vids that show otherwise and the number of those who share the KKK's view of the flag is getting smaller every year.
@darthroden benign reasons? thats a load of crap. ive seen stickers that have that flag and next it it says "you got your one turn (barack)" my entire family comes from the south, my grandmother is from south carolina and she told me what that flag means. my grandfather is from the south and that flag is basically a threat to people of his generation a threat to their freedom and rights as a human being. the main reason many blacks moved west is because of what that flag stood for.
@darthroden the bigotry begins at home? you're right.....my grandparent were the vicitims of bull connor, fire bombs, german shepards and fire hoses....you wouldnt know because 1. it didnt effect you 2. you were not there. a poll was taken in 1960 and 85% of the people in the u.s. thought everyone were equal....yet we had to have a civil rights law passed in 1964 that just shows how oblivious your parents and grand parents were to the problem.
I wonder though, if Spurrier had been bitching about someone bringing a Mexican or Cuban flag to Williams Brice Stadium if he would of gotten the same treatment?
@darthroden no because the cuban flag and or mexican flag doesnt have RACIST CONNOTATIONS WITH IT... use your head....that was a dumb thing to even say. the confederate flag represents the old way of doing things it has 0 to do with how things are today or any type of progression those still waving that dumb ass flag is stuck in time.
the cuban flag and or mexican flag doesnt have RACIST CONNOTATIONS WITH IT...? Really? I wonder if someone native to Central America maybe Aztec or Mayan descent would agree.
As for those who wave the Confederate flag being stuck in time....well I am here online here in the 21st Century with you, argues strongly against such wrong-thinking characterizations.
@darthroden uh yeah they would agree because those countries are not built on race but class. you dont see people in cuba or south america talking about race as much as they do class....the only places is south africa and here. anywhere there is white and dark is where you hear race issues.
Once again I see you failed to respond to my question:
Have you ever one being a resident of South Carolina ever actually gone to a Confederate Memorial Day service? Ever talked to anyone at such an event and gotten their point of view after a reasonable discussion?
So far all you have shown me is that you (like so many others black and white) have the exact same point of view of my ancestor's flag as a member of the KKK...face it you have more in common with them than with us.
@darthroden uh ive been a resident of south carolina and texas i went to college in maryland for 2 years....like i said if people were down with the flag then colonial reb would not have had a make over for ole miss and people would not be acting out IN MISSISSIPPI over the kkk rally at the ole miss/lsu game last year. they would have just walked on by....lets not forget the rally was at ole miss not in LA.
Oh yeah I havent forgotten it...of course I was actually there, and I was waving the flag of my Southland as were three dozen other guys AGAINST the KKK.
@NCSportsMan70 spurrier is from the south and knows that only 1 flag represents this country not that damn flag...that flag is for losers, that flag represents a loss in a war. spurrier was there during the stuggle in the south during the 50s and 60s.
A flag that represents loss in a war.....humm I am sure you will be happy to say that to the next Vietnam Veteran you run into.
Its funny how you suckers seem to suddenly find patriotism after badmouthing those who are fighting to protect us all from another 9-11 attack.
Of course one flag represents this country, but then again there is heraldry to consider. Southerners are a distinct people and have their own banner, same as Scots in Britain, same as Quebecois in Canada.
@darthroden vietnam vet? yeah i have a few family members who fought in vietnam and 1 of them came back addicted to heroin and the others were treated like shit when they came back. find patriotism? you got me confused with someone else...when 911 happened we all knew it was a joke...the military cant save anyone and they dont fight to defend anyone's freedom they fight to defend the U.S.'s interest....
War itself is distasteful and disgusting, but it is sometimes necessary, especially when dealing with an enemy who has the means to hurt us and the will to carry out their insane ideals.
None the less the comparison stands, if you want to call Confederates losers then you must concede that those who served in Vietnam also lost.
@darthroden reeeeaaaallllly? no war in america is a joke? lets see so the gulf of tonkin accident really happened? the sinking of the luisitania was not done on purpose? i think you need to go waaaaay back in get in your history books and get in the ones with out the flag wrapped around it. according to most people not only have the U.S. never lost a war but they have never provoked one. war is necessary but not illegal ones. yeah the vietnam war was a loss....and?
If you recall from earlier statement I said there is no such thing as a "Just War". Wars a stupid but only necessary at the very last ditch.
You mention the Luisitania...funny how it took three more other ships being sunk before we fought to get rid of the Kaiser, till then we sat on our asses watching Europe burn.
And what do you mean by "illegal one" would you mind telling me what a "legal war" is? Go on try and justify the concept of war for me....please do.
@darthroden war can only be confirmed via congress NOT THE PRESIDENT....the last legal war was WW2 it is the last time the U.S. declared war....iraq is not a legal war.
Colin is right an Y'all know it! Image is reality whether you like it or not! The waving of the flag has changed over the years. Just don't know why anyone can admit to that, I guess pride won't let them!
Oh but the image of what the flag stands for HAS changed to many folks, but that is not mainstream knowledge yet.
However, eventually the rest of you will clue in, and you better do so soon because the longer you share the same point of view of that flag as a member of the KKK, the longer you are going to look foolish.
@darthroden Than I guess I'm foolish then huh? You need to get out more, you might be shocked when you travel this country (like I have) what the general consensus is concerning the flag. Colin sooooo right!!!!
@aldeb456 Look pal, not only have I traveled the country, but I have gone outside this country, and let me clue you in on something....the rest of the world has no problem with the battle flag. Most of the rest of the world actually sees it as a Southern icon and a part of America...its only here in the USA that the supposed racism of the battle flag has any sort of credibility.
Face you, you are a minority, and its getting smaller every year. Peace out!
@darthroden Lmaooooooooooooooooo!!! I'm a minority an getting smaller? I was at the Cannes film festival in 1989, they played Spike Lee's 'Do the right thing', no one understood the racial overtones of the movie, you know why? People outside this country really doesn't know what racism is. You're funny, but I love your style an passion! I respect it too! Wonder why, there's racial overtones of the flag in this country only? Hummmm
The difference is I fight AGAINST those who actively disgrace that flag, you on the other hand blindly ACCEPT them because its easier to condemn rather than fight for something, its easier to hate than it is to understand a people.
Just remember if you condemn that flag and anyone who uses it as racist or ignorant, then the only people who you ally with are the very racist who misuse it for the same reason....after all, they too share your POV.
@darthroden Losers of the Civil War, The Ku Klux Klan, JIm Crow, Cross burnings, that's the image. I've been to a couple of SEC football games an let me tell ya, take a hot day with these White flag waving Southerners, some alcohol, an them cheering a Black athlete who does well for their team, you'll hear the 'N' word spewed throughout by the 3rd quarter. I've seen an heard it. Not all. They love football an will get season tickets an live in trailers. The flag is a symbol of seperation.
@aldeb456 you hit the nail right on the head. apparently darthroden has never been to an SEC game. i was at the game out west between auburn and USC back 2002 and the auburn fans were astounded at how many "niggers" were in LA and as a matter of fact there were fights in the stands because the auburn fans didnt know how to respect people. needless to say the cali faithfuls pummeled the hillbillies on and off the field. only a loser would wave that damn flag. spurrier is a smart man.
The flag is only a symbol of separation to those who allow it to be so...the rest of us struggle to honor it otherwise. Are you in or on the side of the racist yourself?
@darthroden I've seen on ocasion the KKK raising that flag, I'm not on the side of the KKK. By the way a White southerner whom happened to be a tour guide when we on my wife were on vacation 2yrs ago told me that many Southerners didn't like the confederacy. They fought for a cause they didn't believe in. Told me the war was about slavery in the confederate constitution, an it only benefited the rich. Other Southerners brought into it cause they were predudice. We agree to disagree.
Perhaps what he was getting at (the tour guide) is that Southerners fought for their homes and not the government in charge of their states. That by the way is the whole point of that argument and thank you for finally getting to it.
I for one cannot agree with hate, and I make a point to fight it, not try to get along with it. I believe the best way to strike a blow against the KKK is to deny them credibility with that flag....that would do much more than letting them just have it.
Now then, new topic: The Gamecocks chances of winning the SEC Title.
My opinion, they pulled off two miracles this season: Alabama and Florida and I worry they might not have a third.
Further I also worry the players will be looking toward Dec 4 and Auburn and look past beating Clemson 2 years in a row like their fans want them to do--if you recall, Clemson made the same mistake last year and it cost them both games.
@aldeb456 the u.s. is the only place on earth that live in a racial system.....the rest of the world live in a class system. they laugh at the u.s. because of their ignorant thinking.
I don't see any reason why this topic should even be unearthed. I think we should just keep doing what we're doing. Freedom of speech and expression. That flag has many different meanings to many different people. It's always going to stir emotions. And there will never be a complete solution. live and let live.
The point about the SEC is that they love their Black Football players, but as for hiring minority coaches, that's a big no no! Also, Colin can stop with the "the racial tensions are only in the south" crap. At least their honest about their feelings and they don't speak in code words like this jackass! Colin has his moments as well.
@getyoasshome Please, with the exceptions of Sly Crooms, name the the Black SEC coaches in past 100yrs! Again, why didn't Charlie Strong (Def Coord. Gators) get a HC job in the SEC?
"I believed I was overlooked because I'm married to a White female."-Charlie Strong
I made this comment 5 months ago!
If I want to hear anything else from the "Johnny come lately" of the world, I'll yank your chain, cletus!
@getyoasshome I was born and raised here in South Fla.! I'm a "U" fan to death! I wasn't making that point to brag about it. I was simply pointing out that, @ least the SEC doesn't hide their racists ways. I think it's wrong, but I would rather someone tell me to my face they don't like me instead of having the fake ones like cowardherd!
He brings on people to interview he knows he despises! Again, be honest about it, no matter if you're right or wrong!
@whiteliberal1 colin is from the north west and yes they are racist out there too i lived in portland oregon...colin isnt a racist point blank....yes there is a such thing as a white person who isnt racist. id rather not hear racial epitaphs period. just because its the south doesnt mean you can disrespect...how about this...we are all the same we all have flaws..and many wonder why the south puts education on the back burner....
I'm glad to know that you and Colin are BFF, but, when you have a guy who criticizes every Black QB in the NFL (Young McNabb Vick) and allow the other "clip board carrying minions" to roam from team to team w/o criticizing them on the same merits, I find that to be suspect @ the very least!
As for the SEC, if you can't understand what I said about their lack of hiring Black coaches, but loving their Black players, then SHOO!
@whiteliberal1 i dont even know where you are coming from yapping. have i said anything to the contrary to what you are saying? i think not so save your little soliloquy about black QBs and black coaches...you're coming out of left field with your soapbox yapping. just because colin criticized young and vick means nothing they both deserved criticism and he hasnt criticized mcnabb he has said mcnabb is one of the most successful QBs in the league so what are you talking about?
So I guess that killed your Peyton Manning theory. Everyone criticizes players to a certain extent, but, listening to colin, one would think that he was a HOF, SB winning player from the best NFL team that ever played! It's a little strange to hear him criticize ALL the black QBs.
I have no idea why I'm responding to you anyway, cletus. You're a waste of time and sperm. Now shoo, you slack jawed yokel!
@whiteliberal1 how does that kill my manning theory? the whole point is colin talks shit about anyone...you dont even know what or why you are debating...do you even know what day it is or are you still having a problem reading big dummy....now beat it punchy.
This past Friday Colin Cowherd made the following comments:
"I wish you people would stop with all of the Michael Vick crap about him being a great QB! He has a 58% completion rate. It's not like he's Peyton Manning!"-Colin Cowher (The Herd) ESPN Radio XM
He didn't talk about Vick's former chargers. He criticized the man as a passer! Also, you said he criticizes Manning all the time. Friday he put Manning on Mt. Rushmore! Keep up, cletus, you slack jawed yokel!
@whiteliberal1 is vick on manning's level? no is he an elite QB? no is he hot right now? yes so what did colin lie about? you just want people to jump on vick's dick like a fag...is vick not a 58% passer? what did i miss?
And you are wrong of football too....Vick is going to take the Eagles to the Superbowl and show everyone up who wont move past something he paid his debt to society for.
@darthroden hes going to take the eagles to the super bowl? ok? the NFC is so far behind the AFC it isnt even funny the eagles are not on the steelers, jets, patriots or ravens level so what is the point of saying they are going to the super bowl? they havent even won the NFC east. i dont care about what crime vick committed because everyone isnt perfect but that doenst mean that they are going to the super bowl.
@getyoasshome You know nothing about this racist clown's intentions! My opinions are just that. When you mature in life, you'll understand that................YOU DON'T KNOW EVERY DAMN THING! I thought I knew everything when I signed up for the Marine Corps.. When I did tours in Panama and the former Yugoslavia (Serbia/Bosnia) I grew up fast! Contrary to your beliefs, you could be wrong on this issue. Only you know, because a dipshit like yourself will never admit you were wrong.
@getyoasshome Btw, let me in on this one, ol' dumb one!
People said the same thing about the Saints going against the Colts last year and look @ what happened! You're just a complete idiot. I don't know why people waste their time arguing with the likes of you. The Eagles are poised to take the NFC. As far as the "east" goes-who is going to challenge them? The Giants? The Skins? The Boys? The Falcons definitely don't want to see Vick in Atlanta!
@whiteliberal1 wow not the "my zipper is stuck" old ass joke from back in the 80s..NEW MATERIAL PLEASE!!!! you're just going around in circles talking about nothing. this video has 0 to do with black QBs or anything you are talking about so stay on topic and stop trying to be a comedian because you fail at that. you cant even stay on topic you dummy, colin said vick is a 58% passer....i said ok is that a lie? no its not so stay on topic. no one said you said it...you said colin said it dummy.
@getyoasshome I wasn't joking about "putting something in your mouth". Maybe something good will finally come out of it if someone does "put something in your mouth."
Here's the "topic". Vick, along with Young and Tavares Jackson happens to be Black. Colin happens to criticize the 3 of them on a constant basis. It wasn't just about the 58%. It was Colin's argument of people telling the TRUTH about Vick having a career year. This was the only thing Colin could come up with, cletus!
@whiteliberal1 how about you go read some of my post before opening your big dumb ass mouth. 1. im not from the south 2. im not an sec fan. as for colin criticizing black QBs you named 3 black QBs who have had problems....he isnt the only one who criticized them..the 2 live stews did, jim rome did you got vick who fought dogs and young who tried to kill himself....what did i miss? colin also trashed tebow, p. manning and others so close your trap you make 0 sense.
@getyoasshome I never claimed you were from the south. You responded to a comment I made about how the SEC loves their players and won't hire Black Coaches. You came out of nowhere and said, "so I guess it's OK for the south to be racist in plain view?" Then you keep defending Cowherd. Colin didn't comment on Vick's charges or Vince's personal problems. Btw, you left out McNabb. Friday he said, "will you people stop giving credit to Vick! His completion pct. is 57%! He is not Peyton Manning!"
@whiteliberal1 colin did comment on vick's charges you kncuklehead. he also commented on vince....you just wasnt listening that day apparently because colin would have to be one of the biggest idiots to not speak on a topic that is the biggest in sports which those 2 were at the time. oh and colin sweats mcnabb is a huge mcnabb supporter....
@getyoasshome Then you said, "Colin sweats mcnabb is huge mcnabb supporter"
I guess he was "sweating shannanhan a little more that day". Oh yeah, "I can see why Coach Shannanhan would remove Donnovan. In the past, late in games, take a look at how he performed in the SB. There has been many occasions where Donnavan just tinkered out in the end." Colin Cowherd
That's 2 for 2, junebug. Get your weight up, cletus!
@whiteliberal1 oh and thats because he was black right? errrrrrrrrrrrrr you're wrong....bottom line if colin had a problem with blacks this video wouldnt exist thats what you forgot so go pound the sand somewhere else.
@getyoasshome Let's see how Colin plays tomorrow show out. I'm willing to bet that he'll go out of his way to divert the attention from Michael Vick's GREAT PERFORMANCE and replace the topic with, "how could the redskins give a contract to Mcnabb with that performance?" I betcha he won't give any credit to Vick and the Eagles.
This is the way he portrays Blacks. He said, "Tavares Jackson didn't do anything while he was with Arkansas!" Well, TJ attended Alabama State. That's probably why!
@whiteliberal1 what the fuck?????? IS TAVARES JACKSON A GOOD QB?? NOOOOOOOOO is it because hes black? no...jackson sucks point blank i know you got better facts than that. colin admitted on monday morning that he was wrong about the eagles/skins game.....he was flat out wrong. he owned it. he thought mcnabb would have a better game.
@getyoasshome Ok, find the quote where I said that, "Tavares is a Good QB." Yeah, go ahead, I'll wait.
Cowherd said, "what did Tavares Jackson do @ Arkansas?" That was the extent of my comment. After that, you ended up in right field with your hand in your Ass, again!
Btw, Tavares did take the Vikes to playoffs w/o a Sidney Rice, Adrian Peterson and Percy Harvin, cletus. He was wrong about the skins/eales game? When did Tavares attend Arkansas?
@whiteliberal1 the simple fact you even mentioned tavares jackson just shows you're grasping for straws!!!!! godddddd dammmmnnn you're a big ass dummy.....you're done, cooked, punch drunk.....figure it out punchy. tavares took the vikes to the wild card round and brett took them to the NFC title game.....do you know the difference punchy? what the fuck are you talking about? i dont care where tavares went hes a bum...ding ding ding its over punchy climb out the ring and get your head checked.
@getyoasshome I see they let you back in to use the library's computer, cecil. Hang in there, buttplug, things will get better.
As for your rants about Brett taking the Vikes to the NFC Champ game- Well, that was last year. This year he's 3-7! Tavares didn't have Percy, Randy Moss, Sid Rice and he made the playoffs with Bernard Berrian! 3-7 and sexual assault charges looming! If Tavares e-mailed those pics to Ms. Sterger, coward would have his panties in a wad! You know this, doofus!
And who says they do? The South puts quite a bit of money into education, however it is the entire federal Department of Education that is corrupted by bureaucracy and bigotry towards minorities and towards poor whites in the South.
The system needs to be redone, of done away with and replaced with a more localized, less unionized system.
@darthroden yeah the federal department of education huh? yeah ok.....im not talking about the educational system as a whole im talking about education in that region as a whole. the south is still lacking on telling the truth about the true history of the south. in texas the entire state uses the same text books. in the south they dont put education first thats why you see people on this link saying "spurrier needs to worry about winning football games"
Well Spurrier was hired to win football games, now to rant about the flag.
All he did was verbally attack a group of kids for showing pride in the land of their birth and their favorite team, without taking any sort of time or understanding in learning their motivations for displaying it.
Any other group of place, do the same action and Spurrier would be out on welfare after losing his job.
@darthroden first off you're wrong, spurrier's job is not to just win football games. his jobs also entails him making men out of boys. when you go to college you grow up in college you learn your value system in college you begin to live life in college. for many its the first time away from home so the coach is a father figure which many thing spurrier is. he didnt attack kids he attacked the connotation that the flags holds.
@darthroden then why is the kkk running around with the flag? why is it that no whites that are against racism letting the kkk know what time it is and telling them that they will have nothing to do with them and denounce the klan? its not happening.
"why is it that no whites that are against racism letting the kkk know what time it is and telling them that they will have nothing to do with them and denounce the klan? its not happening."
WRONG!
It has been happening for years, but folks like you choose not to see it because you don't care for distinctions, you only see what you choose to see and condemn everyone who does not agree with the letter of your viewpoints.
Is it any wonder we don't like Political Correctness?
Groups like the Sons of Confederate Veterans, The United Daughters of the Confederacy, the Sons of Union Veterans and every other legitimate historical society has condemned the misuse of the Confederate flag by hate groups.
Today there is no place in the South where that trash can go today and not be confronted by at least half a dozen other folks with those flags waving against them!
Also FYI the formal flags of the KKK are the USA and Christian flags.
Hey guess what Colin Cowfag? I'm a southern white male, I have been my whole life, and few things make me angrier than when people have big flagpoles in their front yards with real sized confederate flags flapping in the wind. Not to mention the bumper stickers.
i use to listen to this self-righteous brick until his left wing asshole agenda ideas became part of his show. Stick to sports and leave politic out. Im white im a proud southerner and i fly the rebel flag and damn proud of it.
Oh I agree....and as for Steve Spurrier, maybe if he worried more about the Gamecocks performance than he does talking trash about the State of South Carolina and its flag like the scalawag asshole that he is and sucking up to the NCAA and the rest of those crooks in charge of it, then maybe just maybe the Gamecocks might actually beat Clemson two years in a row.
Exactly my point, the man lives in the past, its the New South, and in it things are different....including certain perspectives. Misuse of the Confederate flag for one thing is no longer tolerated by those who honor its true history.
However, I will say this...if Spurrier manages to win the Gamecocks the conference on Saturday, then I will be the first to forgive him for his insensitivity and Confederaphobic hatred of the South's beloved banner.
@darthroden spurrier winning on saturday or not doesnt have anything to do with his feeling towards that flag...spurrier has been in the south longer than you and i he has seen the south go from being extremely racist to being subtle....when racism strikes what flag do you see? when the kkk is marching in the south w/hat flag do you see? you dont see minorities waving that flag....i wonder why
I was born in the south pal, and let me tell you I would rather be dead than born anywhere else.
Actually the very few times I have seen the KKK march (and that is usually on TV) I see them waving more US flags than I do Confederate ones. Indeed you might want to check online, the KKK's official banners are the US flag and Christian flags, no mention at all of Confederate ones.
It takes more than a few white sheet wearing peckerwoods to disgrace any of those flags.
@darthroden you see more american flags than confederate flags? i seen the kkk rally at the ole miss/LSU game last year....i seen confederate flags duke. thats like saying yeah i saw killing but it was only a little bit. like i said you dont see minorities waving that flag. you only see people who want to go back to the way things used be waving that flag....
Funny you should mention that one, I was there also...I was one of the guys standing against the KKK along with about a dozen other, all with battle flags who OPPOSED the Klan's presence....funny thing was me and that other dozen actually outnumbered the amount of Klan Klowns who actually attended, LOL!
Don't see minorities waving the flag....clearly you haven't done a complete search on this site have you?
If you think of the Confederate flag and think of slavery and hate. Then you're fucking retarded! The Confederate flag stands for being a rebel. Fighting for something they believed in. The Civil War wasn't fought over just slavery. In fact slavery was a very small part of it. People need to do a little bit more research instead of saying what they think really happened.
@IBoIBsTa i understand celebrating the confederate flag on a single annual day to celebrate those who died in the civil war, like i believe the south does. I've heard about something like that, don't quote me. However, if you tote the flag around and expect people not to equate it with slavery, then you're retarded. Even if it wasn't fought for just slavery, it was fought for slavery as part of it and that was wrong and the flag reflects that and it is wrong.
I don't think people really look at the confederate flag and think kkk. maybe in the south, but up here in michigan we fly it and wear it on shirts just to mean rebel
i dont want you myopic southerners or conservative guys that hang around message boards all day pounding sand because you just got your ass served on national sports talk radio... rack him.
Slaves were brought to the New World under Spanish, Portuguese, British, and later US flags. The Klan also flies the US flag, wears white sheets, and uses the cross, does that make them racist symbols too? The Confederate Battle flag commemorates men who fought bravely against overwhelming odds when their homes and towns were invaded, burned, and property destroyed. It stands for courage and character and standing up for what you believe in.
He makes a lot of good points, and being from central Texas, I definitely agree there are characters like that that do care about football more than education, but the south does have some pretty respectable academic institutions, such as: Vanderbilt, Miami, Rice, Texas at Austin, and UVA and UNC, just to name a few...

The Civil war was not about slavery. It was about power in the government.

@BuckSnort101 "Their way of life" = slavery. States should (and do) have the right to run things generally how they see fit, but the federal government has every right to step in when such a gross injustice is permitted and institutionalized in that state. If a US state decriminalized rape, should the federal government not step in and say "Rape is wrong. Make it a crime. Enforce the law, or we will." I wonder how many black southerners believe state's rights come before human rights?

@wjaiv I would agree with you if what you say is historically correct... however that is not the case... as I mentioned previously the war was not started over human rights, slavery, or bc the Union / North didn't allow slavery or even stepped in... The only reason the North fought the south was because the south fired on a Northern fort and had succeeded from the Union much like the 13 colonies declared their independence from England.
BuckSnort101 7 months ago
@BuckSnort101 when you succeed from a country you are declaring war. The reason for this was the issue of slavery which was the cental point of the war. Confederate flag is based upon this hatred for blacks and use a symbol historically to represent the pride of southern whites who fought to keep the blacks "in their place". over time the south has tried to rationalize their position so as not to look bad, but a spade is a spade.

Really it is the jim crow era that sprung up after the civil war that attempted to justify the south and villify the African Americans b/c the north was also racist.

confederate flag is a disgrace. it's a testament to the dignity of this country that we allow a flag to be flown which stands for and represents direct military opposition to the very country in which it is flown. What it symbolizes (THE ENSLAVEMENT OF AN ENTIRE RACE OF PEOPLE...call it "state's rights" if you wish) is disgusting...but the country which was victorious above such profanity - and is gracious enough to even enable a flag of treason to be flown is indicative of how great the USA is.

You can claim "states rights," however, the only rights you've professed is the right to ENSLAVE AN ENTIRE RACE OF HUMAN BEINGS and your flag stands for nothing more than that very insane overture just described.

Today all across the South most people who display that flag do so for no racist reasons (either outright or subtle). Indeed I think you will find that 95% of the people who do display it do so for purely benign reasons.

@darthroden Losers of the Civil War, The Ku Klux Klan, JIm Crow, Cross burnings, that's the image. I've been to a couple of SEC football games an let me tell ya, take a hot day with these White flag waving Southerners, some alcohol, an them cheering a Black athlete who does well for their team, you'll hear the 'N' word spewed throughout by the 3rd quarter. I've seen an heard it. Not all. They love football an will get season tickets an live in trailers. The flag is a symbol of seperation.

@aldeb456 you hit the nail right on the head. apparently darthroden has never been to an SEC game. i was at the game out west between auburn and USC back 2002 and the auburn fans were astounded at how many "niggers" were in LA and as a matter of fact there were fights in the stands because the auburn fans didnt know how to respect people. needless to say the cali faithfuls pummeled the hillbillies on and off the field. only a loser would wave that damn flag. spurrier is a smart man.

@darthroden I've seen on ocasion the KKK raising that flag, I'm not on the side of the KKK. By the way a White southerner whom happened to be a tour guide when we on my wife were on vacation 2yrs ago told me that many Southerners didn't like the confederacy. They fought for a cause they didn't believe in. Told me the war was about slavery in the confederate constitution, an it only benefited the rich. Other Southerners brought into it cause they were predudice. We agree to disagree.
aldeb456 1 year ago
@aldeb456
Perhaps what he was getting at (the tour guide) is that Southerners fought for their homes and not the government in charge of their states. That by the way is the whole point of that argument and thank you for finally getting to it.
I for one cannot agree with hate, and I make a point to fight it, not try to get along with it. I believe the best way to strike a blow against the KKK is to deny them credibility with that flag....that would do much more than letting them just have it.

My opinion, they pulled off two miracles this season: Alabama and Florida and I worry they might not have a third.
Further I also worry the players will be looking toward Dec 4 and Auburn and look past beating Clemson 2 years in a row like their fans want them to do--if you recall, Clemson made the same mistake last year and it cost them both games.

If you think of the Confederate flag and think of slavery and hate. Then you're fucking retarded! The Confederate flag stands for being a rebel. Fighting for something they believed in. The Civil War wasn't fought over just slavery. In fact slavery was a very small part of it. People need to do a little bit more research instead of saying what they think really happened.
IBoIBsTa 2 years ago
@IBoIBsTa i understand celebrating the confederate flag on a single annual day to celebrate those who died in the civil war, like i believe the south does. I've heard about something like that, don't quote me. However, if you tote the flag around and expect people not to equate it with slavery, then you're retarded. Even if it wasn't fought for just slavery, it was fought for slavery as part of it and that was wrong and the flag reflects that and it is wrong.

Slaves were brought to the New World under Spanish, Portuguese, British, and later US flags. The Klan also flies the US flag, wears white sheets, and uses the cross, does that make them racist symbols too? The Confederate Battle flag commemorates men who fought bravely against overwhelming odds when their homes and towns were invaded, burned, and property destroyed. It stands for courage and character and standing up for what you believe in.
