Sense, but is anyone listening?
Via DC Clothesline:
Black civil rights icon and former Mayor of Atlanta Andrew Young says that debate over the Confederate flag is a divisive non-issue which completely distracts from the real problem – the fact that 93% of blacks are killed by other blacks.
Young is widely recognized as a prominent activist for the African-American civil rights movement, having been a personal friend and supporter of Martin Luther King. Young marched with King in Selma, Alabama and was with King when he was assassinated. He was also instrumental in pushing through the 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act.
Young, a former Democratic Congressman, was also the United States Ambassador to the United Nations and served as President of the National Council of Churches USA. He cannot be dismissed as an “Uncle Tom” or an apologist for right-wing Republicans.
In an interview with Fox 5 Atlanta, Young skewers the politically correct outrage mob that has targeted the Confederate flag in the aftermath of the Charleston shooting, asserting that the elimination of southern heritage will do nothing to address the problems faced by black people today.
“The challenge for us is not to wipe out our past history but to learn to live together in the future,” said Young.

Someone who has a pair finally speaks up. Too bad he'll be ignored.

Self-explanatory.
If not, that (along with most of your other posts) means you should be banned from starting threads.

Well check with Jon Stewart. Maybe if Jon says so, his state can be ejected from the union. You were advocating Stewart be the arbiter of such things yesterday.
