DHS, obviously you didn't look at the link. I have no problem being proud of my southern heritage. but, the combination of the screen name "john reb" and the use of the avatar of Forrest is to promote racism. this has nothing to do with southern heritage and everything to do with racism. promoting racism, in any form, should never be tolerated.

I agree with DHS...OMG don't pass out!!!

Dixie, we agree alot more than you think! Besides, we are some of the older (been here on forum longer) posters and we have to stick together. I know we will still disagree sometimes, but we have always seemed to respect each other.

What's wrong with being proud of your heritage? Like it or not, the Flag Of The Confederacy is part of all Southerners heritage. It is made out to be a racist symbol, when in true definition, it is not. I, for one, am very proud to be from the South and embrace our heritage for what it is, history. We have a rich, colorful and very interesting history.

As for Nathan Bedford Forrest, he is one of the few men on either side of the war who enlisted as a private and was promoted through the ranks to general. He was also one of the most daring and courageous leaders to have fought for the South. His involvement with the KKK is verified, but sketchy. As was metioned before, the KKK then and now are vastly different entities. In fact, his views on people of color varied from the beliefs of the KKK even at that time. Check this excerpt from Wiki: Forrest's personal sentiments on the issue of race, however, were quite different from that of the Klan. Forrest was invited and gave a speech to organization of black Southerners called the "Jubilee of Pole-Bearers" in 1875. In this speech, Forrest espoused a radically progressive (for the time) agenda of equality and harmony between black and white Americans. At this, his last public appearance, he made what the New York Times described as a "friendly speech" in which he called for reconciliation between the races and called for the admission of blacks into the professional classes from which they had heretofore been excluded.

As a defender of the Constitution, Dec of Ind, and other wonderful ideas and thoughts, I say fly, wear, or preach whatever you want. Freedom of speech or I should say limits to freedom is not a tool to use because you don't agree with someone/thing. I don't care for the rebel flag. I don't care for African flags either. There are only three that are flown at my home. The US flag, the big orange flag (Go Vols) and these seasonal flags that my wife just had to have.

As I have said before, I defend the right to anyone to fly the flag of their choosing.


Also if someone had an issue with the avatar, why not take the issue to that person by pm?

Why is everyone here so quick to label others and call others liars? So what if someone posts under more than one name... big deal! I've been called a liar more here in my first 2 days of posting (in PMs, imagine that) than I ever was before in my entire life.... WE ALL LIE!!! Get over it...and everyone needs to quit being so danged negative....black, white, yellow, red.... who cares? I have absolutely nothing against anyone here personally... I consider all this to be a stress reliever.... I hope that if anyone on this board was in dire need of something (say a bone marrow transplant or their house burned down and everything was destroyed), everyone here would pitch in and try to help...at least I like to think everyone would have the decency and humanity to come down off their high horses and help.... I could be wrong... but I certainly hope not.

You told lies in the Sweetwater thread. You said your husbands grandmother was dying, then you said she died and was cremated. Then you said she didnt die. One of those statements are a lie for sure. Now you said you dont lie, which contradicts the lies you previously told. Enough people saw that thread to know I am not lying or making this up.

You know the problem with telling lies is that you have to tell another lie to cover the first one up. When it is over with, you have no idea what the truth is!

Some people actually begin to believe their lies and are so convinced they are telling the truth that they are/would be able to pass lie detector tests.

And you know I'm gonna get jumped on for saying that by people who will be convinced I am talking about them, when no names are mentioned and it is a known fact that this happens.

Thats when the old saying "Bit dogs bark" applies.
