All the more reason to let it be known and then some of the fake racism can be put to bed. Nobody need to fan those flames.
"I think placing a flag there was done to evoke a specific response and it did" Don't be surprised if it turns out to be a "non-white."
I think placing a flag there was done to evoke a specific response and it did what it was intended to do. I also think it was a jerk move and wish people who chose to do things like this would not try to do it under the guise of anonymity.
It doesn't even seem as if you are true to your 'cause' if you are sneaking around. It's chicken ****, really.
Why inflame an already inflamed situation... good point.
But still... i just don't care enouigh to make a big deal about a piece of cloth, being put on a piece of land.
I'm sure MLK could give a crap that there's a confederate flag on "his" piece of land.
I just don't care. that flag offends the black community, and white people have to come to their rescue, or risk being called racist.
so... because i don't care, am i a racist?
(i mean, i AM a racist, but would you think me one, just because I don't give a crap about the flag? just curious)
"They put a flag on a piece of land!!! "
There is more to it than that.
"(it's only got meaning if you GIVE it meaning)"
Well their giving meaning when they do stuff like that. Why inflame an already bad situation? I'm from the south, born and raised, I"m pro flag but stunts like this are helping NO ONE. Anyone pro flag should want to see this type of behavior stopped.
Oh no's!
They put a flag on a piece of land!!!
STRING THEM UP!!!!!!!
(it's only got meaning if you GIVE it meaning)
Malicious trespassing would work for me too, I do think they need to be caught and charged with something though.
I agree that it is a stretch but I'm not that knowledgeable about hate crimes. I detest the act but I'm troubled that it might rise to the level of "HATE CRIME".
Trespass? I'm fine with that or Malicious Tresspass if such a crime exists.
Well I must say that I do not approve of this type of behavior, people like this who just want to antagonize the situation should be dealt with accordingly.
I do have to ask just what could they be charged for, trespassing perhaps, I see the hate crime charge mentioned but I think that it would be really hard to get that to stick.
