Those are the factors that are embedded in discussions regardless of whether you are talking about the Confederate Flag or The Help. I didn't create this thread because I care about the Confederate Flag (just like I didn't create the The Help thread because I truly cared about the book and movie).
But, I know it's safer for interracial discussions to get stuck in the Confederate Flag because that's controversial enough to think you're doing something groundbreaking yet safe enough to focus on North vs. South and the "I'm not racist because..." explanations. And then people get disinterested and move on because they think it really was only a discussion of the Confederate Flag.
Oh well...I just wanted to point out that my pal SenusretI was succinctly making his point to which some of you agree. I don't want that to be confused with
the only point.
