... why would 4 flags be placed at this location.
Maybe the Black Lives Matter movement wants to keep things stirred up. Has that occurred to you?

The Confederate flag means what you want it to mean... I once saw a married couple buy a Confederate flag and the woman was an African American and she didn't see it as a racist flag. Sure, bad things have happened during that period, but not all of it was bad and it's not an official symbol of slavery. It's an American flag that was used during a time in which there was a lot of racism and slavery, that's all.

By the way, the word racism itself is racist. It is as if there are different races that can be compared with each other but both Genesis and modern-day scientists agree that all of us are ancestors of one origin, one race - the human race. It is a shame that some who called themselves Christians took Africans and sold them as slaves in America and they thought God thought it was a normal thing to do but it's not.

why would it occur to me. i want nothing to do with race hate. just because i asked the correct question. again i never banned the flag. there is a bigger part to the last post, either quote it all, or stop picking faults in your idea of my logical response.

and give a reason to why 4 flag in your opinion etc.

I didn't use a pen. I used a computer.

And who accused who of having a "pea brain"?

You don't want fun poked at your Porky Pig-style Internet sputtering, clean it up before you post it.

Anyone notice how this flag is being used as an intimidation device and banner for anti-Christian groups and for attacks against the church?

Strange how people use this flag deliberately to harass black people but people still refuse to admit that it represents racism

It's not all that strange considerring why the Confederacy was formed and defeated.

It is bad enough that flag represents slavery and racism, treachery and betrayl. Now though it seems to be acquiring a new meaning of direct hostility and intimidation against Christians.

Why should there be "black" churches? Does Christ have a different message for blacks?
Dividing churches, based on race, always seemed stupid to me.
What would happen if a white church were to spring up?

Its bad enough that the political groups stir up race tensions, how ever they can..its even worse when "Christians" try to cause division in the body of Christ by race baiting.

There is already white churches and they have been around for years, as the KKK believe themselves to be Christians even thought their message is one of hate.

This is nothing new of churches being ran solely by race, but it should not be that way as it is a show of an unloving character toward others. Once again though we must be careful not to label all churches that are all black or all white as being racist, as variables need to be taken in such as neighborhood, go there and see if they will accept you of another race, and such.

The bottom line is that Christ's message is the same for everyone.
It's ridiculous to have churches based on race, period. For the record, I've never seen a KKK church.
