Board That Challenged Confederate Flag Dissolved

“Bell said the HRB was not taking on matters that are important to the city’s residents.”

What elsedid she expect when they were appointed?

Has any black group appointed to see to government business done anything at all besides concentrate solely on imagined injustices blacks receive?

Here’s another example of the elites wanting to give the blacks a token voice, hoping they won’t riot and cause them to lose their money, power and positions.

Now, during downtimes they don’t have the funds for them, and when crash and burn times get here shortly they’re going to have to deal with black riots anyway, no matter how much they were placated.

The liberals will stop at nothing until they have chipped away at the last little bit of White (or Southern) culture until there is nothing left but a pile of dust.

What’s funny is that some blacks and a good number of Cherokees fought on the side of the Confederacy.

So what are blacks whining about? They don’t like it, they can go live in Africa.

The South Florida Times appears to be a by-blacks-for-blacks publication, so it’s not surprising that their coverage of this seems just a tad biased. The board claims it “took a stand” on the Confederate flag, but to most non-blacks it will seem more like “making an issue” out of something that should not be one.

Blacks need to “get over it” and quit worrying about that flag. Far more slaves were bought and sold under the American flag than ever were under the Confederate flag in the Confederacy’s four brief years of existence. If descendants of Confederate veterans want to honor the flag, they should have the right to. Besides, it’s a right pretty banner.

Does it ever, ever…ever occur to Blacks that everything in this world is NOT somehow about them and only them? Is it possible that certain things, certain ideas, certain symbols may in fact mean many things to many people, and just because Blacks take offense to that something(or indeed to everything)that it doesn’t necessarily mean those things are inherently “hateful” or what have you?

This idea that everything on earth must be filtered through and given widespread approval by one dusky “victim” group or the other, is the single most obnoxious idea to ever be foisted upon the White race! Why we stand for this is utterly beyond me!!

But it is always ok for the New Black Panthers to march, shouting their hateful slogans against White people. And I think no other country’s flag should fly in the U.S. other than at their embassies. State flags as usual, fly below the U.S. flag.

If one doesn’t like a certain flay, then don’t fly it! Other than that, it is none of anyones business. Blacks get all over the Confederate flag, but they were slaves under the US flag- doesnt make any sense!

This should be a good start. InHumane Wrongs Kommissons should be eliminated everywhere, because it seems like human rights diminish every time the human rights kommisars get going.

Confederate soldiers were veterans, therefore they should be commemorated.

This has nothing to do with 21st century blacks.

Blacks get all over the Confederate flag, but they were slaves under the US flag- doesnt make any sense!

Black Africans enslaved more black Africans than EVER did any of the White race. They have no excuses whatsoever in Africa for their abject failure at everything. We see the Congo is at it again and will be forever, as is Burundi and Rwanda. But seriously, what African nation is not at war with it’s neighbors.

Blacks were slaves in other countries as well. Yet they don’t complain about their flags!

If only the reporter did his homework, he would have discovered the Confederate flag is protected under state statute.

He also would have discovered Pat Mellerson lives in Kendall and is not a Homestead taxpayer and or resident.

You see everyone not in the reporters world does not have freedom of speech. The liberals cherry pick who has the right. Very poor job of reporting.

Did he know there is an African-American who voted to reform the Homestead Human Relations Board, again it is all weak reporting and editing to fill the need of the bigotry in the reporters mind.

I don’t know if he is incompetent or lazy or both. I’ll leave that to others who have the freedom of speech not granted by Elgin Jones and the non-existent Human Relations Board even though it is protected by Florida law. If you want to serve on a Board in Homestead at least know the law.

Florida State Statute 256.10
Mutilation of or disrespect for Confederate Flags or replicas.— No
person shall publicly mutilate, deface, defy, trample upon, or by word or act cast contempt upon the flags of the Confederacy, or replicas thereof, for crass or commercial purposes; provided however nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent or prohibit the use of such flags for decorative or patriotic purposes. History.—s.1, ch. 61-115

less than 5% of southerners had anything to do with slavery. its ridiculous to think the other 95% would fight a war so that a measely 5% could own slaves. which leads one to ask why the black obsession with the flag? i personally believe it started during reconstruction when there was still sporadic resistance between union and diehard confederates. union agitators would stir up trouble between blacks and whites in hopes that they would be too busy fighting each other to stage another rebellion. at the time, there was actually a congressional investigation that found this to be the case. now, they continue to make the south the whipping boy to keep the “state’s rights” argument at bay. there’s no way big government is going to let that genii out of the bottle again.

“An advisory board that addressed racial issues in Homestead and Florida City has been dissolved, leading some residents to question whether the move was an attempt to stop their fight against the Confederate Flag.”

I doubt it had much to do with the Confederate flag. They probably just got tired of the Blacks whining and complaining about everything.

Maybe I’m wierd but couls this flag nonsense be because the HRB board has accomplished it’s anti-discrimination goals and is desperatly fishing dor a reason ti exists at taxpayer expense?
Maybe it should be disolved simply because it’s served its purpose and has become a vestigal organ looking for a reason to continur?

The Confederate Flag is a legitimate symbol of states that decided to break away from the the inclusion into a larger group, the “united states.” In the beginning, each of them voluntarily requested admission to and were given permission to join. Who ever on this earth could maintain that any entity…state or otherwise….could not back out of their original agreement to be a part of a larger body?

It doesn’t make sense to conclude they have no right to change their minds and opt for exclusion from a larger group that is self-destructing, whether it’s a state or any entity that might want to go its separate way, even an individual.

The constitution does not exclude the right of states to secede. In fact, the founding fathers believed it was the duty of citizens to cast off a government that evolved to a point where it was no longer operating for the interest of citizens and certainly if it were detrimental to their well-being.

Here’s a pertinent quote from Joe Sobran:

“How can the federal government be prevented from usurping powers that the Constitution doesn’t grant to it? It’s an alarming fact that few Americans ask this question anymore.

“Our ultimate defense against the federal government is the right of secession. Yes, most people assume that the Civil War settled that. But superior force proves nothing. If there was a right of secession before that war, it should be just as valid now. It wasn’t negated because Northern munitions factories were more efficient than Southern ones.”

We are right now witnessing the incremental process of states declaring their right of sovereignty through resolutions passed, making it clear that the tenth amendment gives them the authority to do so and that the federal government is imposing power on states it was never granted by the constitution. State legislative bodies are making it clear that their resolutions are just the first step in declaring themselves as separate political entities that are free of any kind of federal control.

Secessionist movements are springing up everywhere and the “S” word has been getting more discussion and play than the “C” word. Peaceful separation is much preferred by people than open civil conflict.

So, wouldn’t blacks have a shreiking hissy fit if a cabal of states won the right of exclusion from the US and adopted the banner of the confederate flag as their symbol? If a state is successful in leaving the union, blacks could always move to a state that is of a more liberal bent, if their imagined injustices are too overwhelming for them, and drag that area down to a third world levels, just as they’ve done to every city they’ve controlled in recent times.

After that they could continue on with their contentious, unintelligent babble between each other all they want, as their world slowly implodes, as it does everywhere in the world.

As a Yankee the Confederate flag never meant much to me. But then I realized how much the enemies of white people hate it. So now I’m all for it.
