American Flag

[Uvtha]

Maybe next year on Martin Luther King Day kids should go to school wearing Rebel Flags and KKK Outfits.

You know, because they have the right.

You're rights end when they infringe someone else's.

This will not end well. Ima go see iron man. heh

If it was just American flags...maybe. But they wore pants and bandannas to match. They were going out of their way to be disrespectful.

Intolerance just breeds hatred.

I dont know the whole story does someone have a link to this? i was under the impression that they wore american flag shirts to school only...

 

[Timothy_SP]

WOW! Nothing like comparing hate groups to OUR AMERICAN FLAG...stick with the facts please you made yourself look foolish...

These kids were doing this to cause offense to a group of people on purpose. That seems pretty hateful to me.


*Added*

I'm not saying they don't have to right to wear it, just that they were being jerks. The school had to stop the potential violence.

A lot of things offend me in this country...

Do you think the american kids was offended to see people living in american celebrating another countries holiday?

 

[Spree]

Yep, it's racism plain and simple.

It is not Racism I defend my Mexican employees all the time when they get made fun of when the cant speak perfect English. This Country is a melting pot of all cultures. But when the American culture has to take a back seat because we might offend some one else why did they want to come here in the first place. Maybe because where they came from is a ****hole, and they came here so their kids can have a better life and their kids so be it. but if they want US to be come the ****hole where they came from then **** them go home.

They punished two kids out of fear...call the lawyers...

American has taken a back seat to fear of racism...

This topic has split in two.

1) The kids have the right to be jerks, but it isn't right and we all know it. Going out of your way to offend someone is just mean.

2) Arizona.... Racially profiling all "Mexican looking" people isn't American.

I saw "www.foxnews.com" and stopped my mouse from clicking. FauxNEWS isn't a real news channel, it's the media arm of the GOP.

I would rather them not violate ANYONE's rights...those boys did nothing wrong period...put the shoe on the other foot and we wouldn't even be talking about this right now period...

So if all the "Mexican" students came in wearing Mexican colors on the 4th of July, or Memorial Day, or Veterans Day, you wouldn't have a problem with that? And I'm talking head to toe.

I'm from the ghetto, i see hispanic have mexican and puerto rico flags in there cars EVERYDAY...

I went to a school that had 80% black students i have learned to deal with what only deals with me...someone puts their hands on you deal with it someone touches your stuff deal with it...i could give a rats ass what someone wears to school...i fought a lot in high school and earned a lot of respect...

Well since you say that then im gonna assume the 200 mexican students that walked out jumped the 5 american kids...see i can be stupid too....

I'm FAR from racist but i also see bull****...

I am split on the Arizona law. For one I don't think it is in Arizonans Right to stop people we do have rights of free travel in this country. Just because im in a truck with a MEXICAN LOOKING GUY does not give the government to stop me. If you are in this county for no good you should be sent home. The Federal government has let so many ileagls in to the country they have let the bad elment in with the good why should the people of Arizona be over run with people up to no good? Why not Issue cards to people let them pay in to the SS and Tax system, If they stay in this country and become Citizens they are able to use our ss and other benefits that this country gives it Citizens. But if you don't be come a Citizen or leave the country you are on you own.

I would not have a problem with that at all this country is based on freedoms based on our constitution.

I think I'm done with this conversation. We could go back and forth all night and it wouldn't change anything.

We'll just have to agree to disagree.
