Thank you Mitt Romney And the people who say "Why should we take it down, its part of our American history" are trash.

lmao most white people in America are racist by default, so I'm pretty sure it's safe to assume that a republican is racist.

anyways this good deed doesn't mean he's not racist.

So him tweeting to put down a flag that is a sign of racism isn't a sign that he's not racist? Wow. Unless you have proof that he is a racist you can't even make your statement above.



And that generalization is disgusting.

[b]In Buddhism it signifies good fortune and is an important auspicious sign. Actually it also signifies the Buddha's heart and mind

I didn't know about its symbolism in Hinduism though but it makes sense because Buddhism originated in India

Just because republicans don't condescendingly pander to minorities doesn't mean they are racist. i know most ATRL rs can't wrap their mind around that concept but not everyone that disagrees with you is racist or even stupid. Here's a question...How have the democrats improved race relations and the lives of minorities in the last 50 years? I know , if those nasty republicans would just die or at least get out of the way.

You copied and pasted that from Wikipedia. The swastika is basically like the peace sign in Indian culture. It's hardly important and Hindus and Buddhists in South Asia use it casually. Outside of South Asia, like in East Asian countries where Buddhism was taken to, it's barely used and very uncommon.

And I'm surprised you didn't know that it's a Hindu symbol. It's common knowledge and the Nazis appropriated the symbol after a German woman Hitler knew was interested in Hindu culture and history.



How would Republicans pander to minorities? Their interests are always anti-minority interests. The only minorities they take interest in are successful ones like better off Asian groups, but other than your Bobby Jindals and Nikki Haleys, the overwhelming majority still vote Democrat. I wonder why...

And how can Democrats improve race relations when at least half of Americans still believe racial inequality doesn't exist (and those who believe that are more likely to be Republican)? That's not something Democrats control and it's probably not even a high concern for most white Democrats anyway.

It's not quite the same thing...

"Supporters of the flag's continued usage view it as a symbol of Southern ancestry and heritage as well as representing a distinct and independent cultural tradition of the Southern United States from the rest of the country."

Dukes of Hazzard, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the flag is part of popular culture and heritage. It may have become associated with racism in recent years but that is controversial.

"Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said the last thing the people of South Carolina need is "people from outside of the state coming in and dictating how they should resolve it," Cruz said in a statement provided to The Associated Press."

Another reason not to vote for this Cruz scum.

I agree. It's a part of our American history that we should look at with disdain and disgust. A whole separate identity that committed the worst legal crime, high treason, because they personally believed that they had an inherent right to rule another race and for that only.
