- By all means, let's keep giving cultural relevance to symbols of and people who fought for, among other things, the right to keep black people as pro - znufrii Jun 19, 05:12 23
  - By all means, let's keep attributing racist motives to South Carolina, because it's in the South and has streets named after Confederate generals. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 19, 05:28 22
    - Not about the motives of South Carolina, it's about how it informs the motives of the actor. -- nm - znufrii Jun 19, 06:08 6
      - and the motives of those who argue to maintain the cultural prevalence of those symbols -- nm - znufrii Jun 19, 06:14
      - So... you're saying the shooter is more likely to be a racist because he lives in a state that has streets named after Confederate generals? -- nm - Strongbad Jun 19, 06:13 4

    - It's not because it's "The South" as though there's no basis for calling the South racist. - Mel Profit Jun 19, 06:01 11
      - I wish that as a Country, we were all more tolerant of our differences. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 19, 06:12 10
        
        I'm suppose to be tolerant of a white wash of history where an entire race of people were held in slavery? - Mel Profit Jun 19, 06:19 8
        
        How do you propose this happens? - Strongbad Jun 19, 06:22 7
        
        you don't get off that easy, You have to come up with the answers yourself. that's the point. - Mel Profit Jun 19, 06:33 6
