Subject: Re: Debate Topic, Confederate Flag

I never saw the truck
of the two men who dragged a black man to death in Texas a few years
ago, but I would not be totally surprised to see the Confederate Flag on
the back of that truck.


Nor would it be totally surprising to see Confederate iconography on the vehicles of most of the Jasper, TX residents who served on the jury which convicted John William King of the murder of James Byrd Jr.  That's *not* a criticism, merely an observation based upon personal familiarity with the region.
