Petition to Ban Confederate Flag from Walton County Courthouse

[Teresa]

That would be "Ms. Nelson" if were are going to be grammatically correct!

Thanks. Edited.

Ms. Nelson didn't make a mistake. She used her manner of expression and we all have them.

She used his? LOL! Proves the point that grammar isn't everything. I get your point.

There were several people in that room who didn't articulate themselves as well

Completely agree. It's humiliating that my children are educated in the same county that enables it.

Regardless of her butchering the language, her point is nonsense. That 2,370 individuals signed an online petition (the biggest one online) does not mean that they can’t nobody say it’s race.

A decision has been made. It was a just decision. End this thread or suggest the Viet Nam Wall, Korean Memorial, WWII memorial and a myriad of other memorials should be taken down because some don't agree with the reasons they are there. Enough!!!!

I'm not ashamed of anyone who spoke or "butchered" the language and her point is just as valid as anyone else's. That is the concept behind the First Amendment right to free speech.

You have the right to be humiliated/offended that's also Constitutionally protected.

This is way to shallow a conversation for me. Done with your play on semantics.

The fact that her speech is Constitutionally protected does not make it valid. For example, while both of the following statements are Constitutionally protected, only one is valid.

1. Water is wet.

2. We have 2,370 signatures, they can't nobody say it's race.

This is way to shallow a conversation for me.

*too

Nice edit, that isn't what you originally said. Believe it or not the Constitution also allows you the "liberty" to move to a more enlightened, more educationally minded Community.

Right - I edited to explain why it was humiliating, rather than just saying it was humiliating.

Understood. Racism has many forms.

Exactly. Everyone's a little bit racist.
