    Seriously dude? I'm so annoyed with you . You couldn't find it on YouTube? Your Google search yielded no results? Whatvare you even arguing? That it never happened? That it wasn't reported?

    I'm serious.  I can't find a single google article that talks about this interview that was reported widely on various media sites.  Which sites?


    I'm serious too. They are out there, there is a big Google result when you search the term, god knows wtf you're doing wrong to not see anything, and I am not willing to help you out of pure spite. I'm tempted to add a passive aggressive smiley face, but I won't.
    Now this, was very funny.

    That's not some deadbeat hillbilly.
    That's someone's accountant, realtor, lawyer, that's a local businessman, a member of the Rotary Club and a regular in the church pews.
    That's the face of racism in America, it's everywhere and it's not a tiny minority of toothless mullets.  
    That's Trump's base.

    Missouri Republican politician calls for the individual(s) who deface Confederate statues to be lynched.

    After all, it used to work so well at controlling the population, right?

    The evidence is just so clear that it's "heritage, not hate".  I don't know how in the world my life experiences of living in the South for the last 25 years ever led me to believe the confederate sympathizers were just a smidge racist.  What a terrible mistake I've made.

    I've lived in South Carolina since 1999. I have yet to meet a single confederate flag sympathizer that wasn't also a racist. Now, a couple of them I am not 100% sure they are. In those instances, however, my I default to them being racist.

    Just saw this movie this evening (what a movie!) and had two thoughts.  One, how far we've come since the 1940's regarding race in America.  But then, two, I couldn't help but ask, how is it possible there is still so much hate and racial strife in America and what will it take to finally move past the ignorance?

    There is a statue outside of the Brooklyn Cyclones stadium with Pee Wee Reese with his arm around Robinson.

    That's great!  That moment was one of my favorites in the film.

    Yeah, in Ohio.  The birthplace of Grant.  And Sherman.
    The state which contributed the most Union soldiers.
    The state who's hockey team is the Blue Jackets.

    Heritage not hate?

    I-71 nb side. Since I was a little kid, easily 40+ years ago now, I have seen the same metal pole barn  with its southern facing roof (directed at the freeway) painted with the confederate flag. down near Lebanon.

    Those of us from NE Ohio (metro Cleveland) firmly believe that Ohio ends somewhere south of Columbus, right around Athens (OU).  After that, it's straight up KY.  This just affirms that belief.

    Shoot, you're in Kentucky by the time you get to Canton.  Other than Columbus Island, everything south of that is Alabama Lite.
