It's time to end the Flag controversy boycott
Mar 13, 2013, 5:05 PM
|
|
Once again the state of SC will not hold any NCAA BB games because of the NAACP boycott due to the "Flag" flying on Statehouse grounds.
This state needs to get it together, take the flag down, put it in the history museum and sue the NAACP and the NCAA for Restraint of Trade and Unfair Business Practices for all the dollars this state, it's hotels, restaurants, venues, etc., that have been lost.
Only the Southern Conference will not shy away from the NAACP as they have held their baseball tourney in Greenville and Charleston for years.

Pretty ironic that NCAA will allow regular season games, baseball and other sport playoff games/regionals/super regionals, but not basketball.
Pretty stupid!

Any postseason game that is hosted on the basis of merit is allowed (regionals/supers) but in basketball the post season games are granted by bids.

NO! South Carolina should never give in to that organization. The flag is flown on the Confederate MEMORIAl in honor of the thousands of South Carolinians who fought and died for the Confederacy. I understand the argument when it flew over the state house, but key word here is memorial.
Also the boycott is a joke, and so is the NAACP.

Or we can continue to tell them to kiss our collective country azzez, keep the flag where it is (already a compromise) and they can keep their games. Do you really think that there will be a sweet-16 game at the Bi-Lo center? The state of SC has never been known to roll over to outside demands and shouldn't start now.

Re: You mean the King James version from 1611?

No, I mean the English Standard Version, in context ...
Luke 6
Judging Others
37 “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; 38 give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
39 He also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? 40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher. 41 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye.
A Tree and Its Fruit
43 “For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, 44 for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. 45 The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

At least in its own mind. But in the real world the state of South Carolina is culturally and economically insignificant. Maybe in part to the foolish hard-headedness being shown in this very thread.

AGREE!!! The Flag moving should never be considered in any sports agreements of any kind at any time, NEVER!!! The Confederate Flag has never represented racism, only the true racist says it does. Removing the confederate flag would only give the real racist the fuel to go after another Southern Heritage to claim racism against until its also branded as a form of racism and removed from our Heritage. The NAACP should be Ban from this country. Racism is as strong as the NAACP. NAACP is where racism is very much alive and well.

Mar 13, 2013, 5:43 PM

state house during the early 60s and the civil rights movement with symbolism that didn't stand for honoring the soldiers that fought in the civil war. There is a stereotype that southern states are stuck in the past. It would go a long way to do away with the flag as a sign of social progress. Also, what is the infatuation with continually remembering war? There is more to the south than remembering a war and more to anybody's lineage than their great great great grandfather fighting in a war.

Being Southern means more than where you were born. You obviously don't understand. You seem like a bright young man, so quit arguing with what you will never understand and go back whatever you were doing. You sound like you have feelings of inadequacy and insecurity. I feel sad for you. It always amazes me that people are fine with traditions that they support, but attempt to ridicule the ones they don't. If you don't support me, fine. Go do something that you enjoy and don't try to tell others how to live or what to believe. Thank you in advance.

of the United States. For people that say proud to be an American, proud to be a Clemson fan, proud to be from New York, it is a bit silly because you are proud of something you did not really accomplish. Different from saying proud to be a Clemson alum because you earned the degree, or proud to have finished that Tough Mudder, because you trained and earned it. Holding too much pride over where you are from could be a sign of inadequacy or insecurity since it was just something you are rather than something you earned. I am fine with the tradition of the confederate flag flying around South Carolina. I usually forget the losing team in the Super Bowl or World Series, but the confederate flag reminds me who finished in second place in the Civil War.

I was just born here. I like living here, I think our foreign policy is costly in many ways. Government is corrupt and serves corporations rather than people and there is a war on personal freedoms. I consider myself lucky to live in a developed country where I can state my mind, but I am not going to be some guy chanting USA USA at a pro wrestling show or NASCAR event. I think American cars suck compared to European or Asian cars, because to be frank, they have better engineering and quality control from their employees.

Mar 13, 2013, 6:11 PM

I mean, it's not like any whites alive today ever owned a slave and it's not like any blacks alive today were ever enslaved.
If you intend to straighten out the historical mess of this country you need to get your white and black azzes off Native American's land.
If you don't touch first base there's no reason to run another 90 feet to second and if you can't give me back my land there's not much chance of settling the rest of the racial issues.
Anyone who doesn't agree with me is a rassist, homophobe, heathen who doesn't love Jesus and puppies.

The NAACP is a business that doesn't really care about people of any color. This issue was settled years ago in the SC legislature. Furthermore, no really cares about the issue.

"Let the dead bury their dead.."
Mar 13, 2013, 7:44 PM
|
|
How could a 2000 year old fictional work cover something current?
I don't expect you have any idea what the quote means so I'll tell you. There are two dead. The physical and the spiritual. Jesus said let the dead (spiritual) bury their dead (physical).
Simply put, we don't have time to get involved with issues of this world. Of course, He wasn't talking about Clemson sports, I hope.

Or did King James say it when he edited the Bible

which has been edited so many times from different languages, by different popes and kings that nobody has an idea of what its original context was or what was written?

Old King James didn't edit the scripture...
Mar 15, 2013, 11:05 PM

he had it translated.
I understand he commissioned about 25 of the day's best scholars and told them before one word was placed in 'his,' translation that every one of them had to agree on it. We must presume they took him seriously.
I ain't arguing with a child.

What would Jesus say about you calling Him a liar?***
Mar 13, 2013, 10:41 PM
[ in reply to the black jewish guy with a mexican name that is derived ] |

Let me help ...
John 8:43-45, Jesus speaking to those who felt they knew truth,
"43 Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me."

Would Luke Skywalker strike me down for saying he did not help bring down the empire? Would Harry Potter cast a spell on me for saying he is a jerk?
First, every picture of Jesus is a white guy. How does a guy in the middle east with ancestry from Africa look like a fair skin white guy?
Second, if he was walking around today, a lot of people would just assume he is some crazy dirty hippie spouting some nonsense to get a handout.
Third, Austin 3:!6.

First, Luke and Harry ARE fiction. If you deny Jesus existed, you are truly mistaken. Ask any atheist you happen to see, "Did Jesus exist?" Chances are they will say yes.
Second, only a truly mistaken individual would ever DENY that Jesus was Jewish. So, no, he was not caucasian. And, his ancestry was Jewish. Not sure where you get that he was African. Please provide reference.
Third, may be so, but those who know Him wouldn't. Jesus was revolutionary in that He pointed people to God, not to man. Sound familiar? He knew man cannot save himself from himself. And, He knew we couldn't keep God's righteous law. That was why He came.
Fourth, Austin 3:!6 is not in ANY recognized versions of scholarly-accepted version of Scripture.
That is all.

I believe Jesus (if he did exist), would recommend not reading the book since it is not the word of god, but rather a book that has lost its context and true meaning through translations from different languages and editing by popes and kings through the course of modern history to match and reflect their agenda to control people.

And, seriously, "if did exist"?? Even the most commited atheist will acknowledge Jesus existed.
And, I guess that "inspired by the Holy Spirit" verse slips your mind concerning the Bible not being God's Word.
And, "lost its meaning and editing" part .... LOL!! Most modern translations are translated from ORIGINAL codexes ... Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.

The mentality of always remembering war is what creates tensions today in many parts of the world. It's almost as if people feel an obligation to continue a fight that is no longer relevant to them.
And we wonder why Israelis and Palestinians can't get along. Neither can part with their "heritage"

The flag represents black and white soldiers that lost their lives in that war. As bad as slavery was, where would the descendants be now if their great grand parents had not been sold by their leaders to the Northerners who bought them and then sold them to the plantation owners down South.

The great thing abt S.C. is that you don't have to go a museum to relish our heritage. You can go to Chas. and see Ft. Sumter. You can go to the Kings Mountain battlefield. And you can go to our state house, see where Sherman's cannon balls hit and enjoy viewing the battle flag of the ANV next to the soldier's monument. A proud and enduring history.

Tu, Horse. I've always called our state flag the original Confederate flag. When folks were talking abt integrating the naval jack or the Stars and Bars in half-field with it (during the "compromise debates"), I couldn't believe it. Our state history is more important than any war, incl the WBTS.

The hatred towards the flag has little to do with the actual civil war history of it and everything to do with certain groups using it as a hate symbol against other groups. Georgia was able to compromise by removing the symbol that so many hate while still holding on to their history.

On one side you have Georgia, a state that embraced the reality of what the flag stands for among a significant percentage of their population, found a solution and moved on. On the other you have SC that for the most part has took the stance of "you can take it out of my cold dead fingers".

tu for you, good sir. This debate is just silly. The ncaazis should keep their noses out of state politics. If they're so concerned abt the flag, then why not boycott the states of Ga. and Miss....and Bama and Fla, for that matter? They all have either the St. Andrews Cross or Confederate battle flag in their STATE FLAGS. Hypocrisy at its finest. The historical cleansers home in on S.C. b/c we capitulated to their demands to move it off the dome. We compromised and yet they still whine. Good news for heritage supporters.....it will fly next to the monument forever. Your great grandchildren will get to enjoy it flapping in the wind. The law was well written....look it up. And laugh at those who have conniption fits abt things they can't control or understand.

They can keep their effing basketball. I don't watch the crap anyway. As far as the NAACP goes,eff them too. if you don't like the flag go live somewhere else. That flag is a part of history just like Martin Luther King is. If you want to take down the flag then you should end Martin Luther king day and black history month while you are at it. I am so mtired of all these "I am offended" jerkoffs. Get some thicker skin and worry about something that is an issue. I do however agree with your post about suing them. Wouldn't do any good because then we would be discriminating against them. Like I said eff those losers,or loosers for those of you who can't spell.

I don't understand the controversy. Flag was on top of capital building and the NAACP and others wanted it removed. Legislature met, decided to remove the flag from capital building and placed it in spot that pissed both sides off. To me that sounds like compromise.
Compromise to NAACP and liberals is you give us everything we want and you get nothing and that is fair?
I have a better idea for NAACP. We have poor schools in our state that could use their help and could really use the money they've wasted since the compromise. Maybe instead of spending millions on a fight that saw a compromise they should spend it to help the schools in our state that need help.
Problem with that is it doesn't stir up emotions which drives their ability to "extort" money. Look at black education rates, crime rate, poverty rates, out of wedlock babies and the most important issue the NAACP wants to confront in our state is a flag on capital grounds. Geez!!!!

I will say its funny seeing all these people upset and

offended at people being upset and offended at something.
Person A: I am angered at this thing going on.
Person B: I can't believe PersonA! They are getting their panties in a wad over nothing! (Proceeds to get own panties in a wad)
I think those making a big deal about the flag (the NAACP, the NCAA, Jesse Jackson, etc) are going overboard, but there are people acting like just as much babies about them in this thread as as the NAACP is about the flag.

down,
the NCAA or ACC wont come to SC for basketball.
The NCAA holds regional tournament at Clemson, USC, and Coastal in the past for basebball
so if they were serious the NCAA would not do that, since SC has very little interest from fans for basketball they won't be coming to this State for the NCAA tournamnet.

The NCAA would never seriously consider any location in football crazy/basketball indifferent South Carolina.
Do whatever is best for the citizens of the state and to hell with groups like the NCAA trying to use economic terrorism.

Hear hear, Louis. I read a study done awhile back that pretty conclusively showed that the boycott has essentially had zero effect on our economy. So not only are they hypocrites but they are losing their battle. I wonder how long it will be till they go after the Tillman and Hampton monuments? Gotta have something to keep the sheeple roused whilst ignoring REAL problems amongst their constituency.

the trouble racist NAACP
their so called boycott is not and has not worked
even the Black Bikers still have their week at Mytle Beach each year
if they actually supported the boycott they would move their Black Bikers week to Ga or NC. and I wish they would.

Actually its time to get rid of the relic that the NAACP has become. The NCAA is headed that way too!

Dancer, the naccp is certainly a relic. The ncaa is an out of touch sports governing body that is more concerned with profits and political correctness than doing what is right. Secession.....from the ncaa...is in order.
