The boys were out over the weekend celebrating their heritage with Confederate flags flown from the backs of their pickup trucks. All over the south. A reporter in Asheville spoke with an eighteen year-old kid doing the same:
We were talking about the reaction he’s gotten flying the battle flag, and Billingsley said it’s been overwhelmingly positive — lots of honks, thumbs-up, and more than 600 likes on a Facebook page.
“I’ve only had one negative, and it was a colored looking at me,” Billingsley said. “He made it look racist, but it’s really him being racist by judging me for flying it.”
Congratulations, Fox News. Mission accomplished. Mr. “I know you are, but what am I?” is America’s future.
An ugly parade of confederate flags on pick-up trucks in Dalton Georgia gets some divine intervention…. or maybe the Billy Bobs are just stupid.
[Language Warning]:They’re not going away, these yokel. In fact, they’re gearing up. You knew it was coming as soon as calls to remove Confederate battle flags caught fire across the South starting in Columbia, SC:
The Ku Klux Klan has been approved to hold a protest rally at the Statehouse next month against removing the Confederate battle flag, with the group calling accused mass murderer Dylann Roof a “young warrior.”
The Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan applied for the permit last week to hold a rally for 100 to 200 people on July 18 on the north side of the Statehouse.
Old habits die hard and all that.
