Considering all the bans and removals of Civil War flags and statues...

Considering all the bans and removals of Civil War flags and statues. Should the Black Panther movie be banned because of it's name being the same as the racist black group, Black Panthers? Remember, Dukes of Hazard reruns where cancelled because of the rebel flag. Think about it.

Freedom of Speech should be absolute. Show them we won't stoop to their level by censoring them. We need to remain on the high ground if we want to convince people that we're not the bad guys.

Remind me, how many white people did the Black Panthers enslave?

Fucking idiots.

Private vs public.

The Confederates were traitors that were responsible for the deaths of 800,000+ loyal Americans.

You should be ashamed of your ancestors, ashamed of the institution they fought to uphold, and ashamed if they were poor pig fuckers that got conned into fighting for the handful of Southern elites.

Oh, so your okay with the murder and violence they've committed... Besides, there's no one alive in the US that was affected by slavery. Black Panthers are still here...

Agreed, but everyone needs to quit walking on eggshells.

History is just that, history. We shouldn't be whining about stuff that happened in the past. We should remember it and learn from it...

There's a difference between remembering history and constructing statues on public land glorifying the Confederacy.

dude the black panthers were cool as fuck. Its what the brotherhood of mutants was taken from. GTFO

>Besides, there's no one alive in the US that was affected by slavery.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS. THIS IS RICH EVEN COMING FROM Sup Forums.

>Oh, so your okay with the murder and violence they've committed

Some of it, yeah. Also, comparing the Black Panthers to American chattel slavery and traitors who caused 800k+ deaths so they could keep enslaving black people (at the cost of economic development) is fucking ridiculous to the extreme.

Also, few are calling for a total ban of any confederate symbols. We just want it removed from PUBLIC use. There are plenty of other non-horrible Southern symbols that can be put up in their place.

um there are no black panthers group in the marvel universe

There's the nigger

>History is just that, history. We shouldn't be whining about stuff that happened in the past. We should remember it and learn from it...

Uh, how are we supposed to apply the knowledge we learn if we don't "whine" about stuff that's happened?

White man but nice try

One of these groups was involved in a very bloody war and the other was not, whatever warped views you hold about race. I think it was very gracious to allow the construction of any of those statues in the first place.

And there's the difference, glorifying vs remembrance. Most of those items have been there for decades. Why has it only become an issue in the last few years? Most statues are presented as a reminder of an event or individual. Glory has nothing to do with it. If we erased all the bad history, we'd have nothing to learn from.

It's just a fucking name faggot, because it's a panther and panthers are black.
Stop this fucking bait and kill yourself

>the high ground

>Most of those items have been there for decades. Why has it only become an issue in the last few years?
Public conscious has caught up. Saying that something has been around for a long time and thus isn't wrong is a terrible argument.
>Most statues are presented as a reminder of an event or individual.
Would it be acceptable to have a statue of Hitler on public land? How about Stalin? They're part of history, right?
>If we erased all the bad history
No one who should be taken seriously is talking about erasing history. The Civil War will remain in history books and museums. What we are saying is that using public land to display statues of Confederate icons is not correct.

Yep, and the General Lee and Dukes of Hazard was a show about rebellious country moonshiners. It had nothing to do with slavery or racism.

somebody posted in a thread yesterday that they saw a thread earlier in the day where somebody claimed they were going to do an attack at a theater showing the movie if a bunch of blacks went to see it

talk about being morbidly stupid

>Why has it only become an issue in the last few years? Most statues are presented as a reminder of an event or individual. Glory has nothing to do with it. If we erased all the bad history, we'd have nothing to learn from.

The statues glorify the Confederacy and the cause they fought for–namely, slavery. Should there be museums covering the Civil War? Absolutely, and a lot of the statues are being moved into museums. That's remembrance.

The confederate flag is illegal to be on public property because the yankees won, it's like having a nazi flag on parliment. Also, public land is seperate from a private product like a film, you can put anything in a film.
You can even sell confederate flags, just dont expect people to put up with your contrarian bullshit.

Yup. From wikipedia:

>The Black Panther's name predates the October 1966 founding of the Black Panther Party, though not the black panther logo of the party's predecessor, the Lowndes County Freedom Organization, nor the segregated World War II Black Panthers Tank Battalion.

The supposed link makes even less sense when you remember that Black Panther is African, not African-American.

lul modern social service loving nigger gets mad about things that happened 2-4 generations ago and throws buttbaby ragefit on Sup Forums because he isnt getting hired or paid well like whiyte bois bc muhh racism and totally not the fact that hes an uneducated talentless tinypeen manchild.

fuck off nigger racism is a social issue now and people cannot discriminate upon someone for their race in a legal sense/job environment. the only places those things happen and they get away with it are shitty southern states where media is all lies and nobody gives a shit or in jew-ran upper class business/organizational environments where the shill loving cunts just buy their way out of trouble.

fuck you and fuck your white guilt trips they arnt even valid anymore

I think the comic book character came out first and the comic book character is named after the 761st Tank Battalion. A platoon made up of black guys in WW2 and they were known as The Black Panthers.

Didn't see that. That would be stupid. I plan on watching it. I hope it's better the Black Lightning though.

It's hilarious when you realize it was blacksploitation by Marvel in the early 70's now being fed as diversity. Loved the Asian and black Asgardians lol

>now being fed as diversity
nah, black panther is cool as an individual, no one except black and white supremacists care about the muh kangz shit.

Its not a freedom of speech issue. You can make a movie about the Confederacy, about racism, or about the Black Panthers. People have free speech.

None of those things belong on display in government buildings. Doing so could be seen as limiting free speech of the opposing groups.

>The confederate flag is illegal to be on public property
LMAO at this nonsense.

>bait thread with the intent of stirring some sort of conversation
>full of mindless self absorbed idiots that keep perpetuating our social situation.

Nothing to see here, move along kids.

this lolbertarian logic would result in child porn being broadcasted on public television

hey look, the guys who know what the fuck theyre talking about are here

Well African was hip back in the 70's when they came up with this. A lot of blacks were walkng around in African get ups, silly as looking at whites walking down the street in kilts or lederhosen

>Black Panther is a fictional superhero [...] first appearing in Fantastic Four #52 (July 1966)
>The Black Panther Party [...] founded by Bobby Seale and Huey Newton in October 1966

Nigga's got prior art.

there's the cuck

He may be cool but it doesn't cancel out the diversity crap or that it started out trying to make $ off black "liberation" nonsense of the early 70's

The Confederates were no more traitors that the Revolutionarys that founded the Country. I get sick of stupid cunts that want to talk shit about the Confederacy, then I the same breath talk about the revolution to give faggots rights and redistribute the wealth. If revolution is treason then you are a traitor also.

>"liberation"
you mean civil rights
or just phony representation?

No, because black people good. white people bad. exceptions! liberal guilt many. 400 years oppressions! sad sad! killing white people? yay!

It wasn't the general lee. It was just the Generally.
