Its not even worth it. You would kick his ass and then he would call the Police on you. Just like a punk.

As long as the police don't report the woman next to him, that isn't his wife, that is.

More concerning to me, if there is a concern at all, is the two Uncle Tom's willing to dress like slaves for the party. I'm sure their ancestors would be proud of their willingness to "honor" their enslavement for the amusement of white folk.......again.

Jesus. Another internet tough guy. Just what this place needs.

Go away, kleenex, that role is already filled.

That's Senator McConnell at center. He owns a Civil War heritage store, it used to be in North Charleston but I moved to I don't know where. He is President of the SC State Senate. He is very vocal about a lot of the revisionism that goes on surrounding the Civil War.

However, he is very, very close with one of the most outspoken black members of the SC Senate, Sen. Robert Ford. McConnell and Ford were practically at each other's throats back during the 90s and during the flag flap on the Statehouse ground. Ford and McConnell have had a reconciliation and are now political allies on several issues in spite of being on opposite sides of the aisle. In fact, Ford has not joined with the rest of the NAACP over the Confederate flag because he felt that an agreement was reached that was amenable to all parties, but then the NAACP reneged on the deal and kept the 'boycott' in place. Now Ford doesn't advocate for having the flag there, and he certainly does not claim that the flag represents something other than a nation that suppported chattel slavery as an economic mainstay, but he DOES butt heads with the NAACP because he thinks they have better things they could be doing withh their time.

Ford has quite a bit of cred, having marched and traveled with MLK in the 60s. He has softened his stance on several southern heritage issues, and McConnell has also sweetened up somewhat. The dynamic between the two senators is quite interesting, and worth a read if anyone cares to actually learn about them rather than just spit out hyperbole and half-informed smoke on a meesage board over a picture.

Also, the woman on the left in the pic is a relatively well known Gullah storyteller from down around Jasper County near Beaufort, I believe. The man, I think, is a guy from up in Columbia who is a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans on the credentials of one of his great great grandfathers who actually mustered into a black Confederate unit towards the very end of the war. He's pretty much a nut.

You know what's really strange... the author of this thread hasn't posted a single reply. Hmmm.... seems like something Travis would do. Throw some shit at the wall to see if it sticks, when it falls, just go silent and move on to the next piece of shit.

Again, all of us whites just need to sign everything over to the dark nation to make them FINALLY happy. I doubt even that would make them happy.

South Carolina Reopublicans:

The guy on the right is Tim Scott. He started out on the Charleston County COuncil if I remember correctly. I met him several times while I was on the PD down there. A very practical, down to earth guy. Ironically, his socio-political beliefs run pretty much with the Democratic Party in SC, but his ideas on fiscal and spending policy place him squarely on the conservative side.

Hes off his meds again!

Not on meds, never been on meds, where should I send all that I've acquired to you at? You hate whites, I just wish you'd have the sack to admit it.

Well you see, there is the problem.


Don't waste your money on the scrip stuff cat, just smoke high-quality (npi) reefer, it will do wonders for your little problem with the histrionics.


If you and grizzaholic ever hook up, the black wolves are definitely in trouble.

Now, if you guys are all done having your little circle jerk about who's a racist and who isn't, I'll try to inject a little reality into the discussion. This picture was taken at a conference that was highlighting South Carolina history and culture to representatives from around the country (supposedly in order to promote historical tourism).

They had people in period dress form different eras, including civil war reenactors like the senator. The other two people pictured are gullah storytellers dressed as artisans of the period. They are not portraying slaves or freedmen. So, next time you see a picture, do a little research before you let your own personal prejudices cause you to jump to conclusions and make fools of yourselves.

Somebody has to carry the Senator's luggage when he's done with the photo op.

Apparently it was a pretty interesting event. It highlighted points of interest in the history of SC, particularly the lowcountry. Gullah culture was, of course, heavily represented due to its wide draw. And of course, the War of Northern Aggression was also heavily represented for the same reason. My favorite part of SC history is pre-columbian.

The political wing of a football forum is no place to be taking yourself so seriously.

You like that? I thought that would get a rise out of someone. I can't remember where I heard that one. I think it was from Citdog.
