Just being upset by something isn't what being a "snowflake" refers to. If that's what it was, it would be pretty meaningless because everybody would be a snowflake.

You aren't even joking. Holy ****...
We should just call you the snowflake spokesman from now on.
Of course I'm not joking. I know you're trying to troll people, but too many people on the internet haven just started calling everybody who disagrees with anything a "snowflake." The term's just a meaningless way of dismisisng anybody who disagrees with you now.
The term was always meaningless drivel. The fact that you/other ITT think it isnt is beyond laughable.
If it was not about slavery then why did SC make that a central point in their written declarartion when they left the Union?
its always been about labeling someone you disagree with, has it not? or are we to believe that it was, at one point, a legitimate term? i equate it to calling a uscjr fan a coot
FreeSC @ Freesc, will not respond to anyone who disagrees with them when they detail facts in their rebuttal. He is what I would call a "hit and run" poster.
Well, if they were then there is zero credible historical evidence that Lincoln owned any. I am sure some holocaust denial types believe this but virtually no historians do and there is zero evidence to support he owned any.
Well I know several that have fought for this country. Not sure how they can be a hater and do that! They don't hate America, just the version you desire it to be.
No, not exactly. It was being used to refer to people who claimed real, disabling psychological stress whenever they encountered things they didn't like. These people claimed they needed trigger warnings on everything potentially controversial, needed safe spaces when controversial speakers were invited to college campuses, etc. In general, though, it refers to people who are too emotionally vulnerable to deal with views different from their own. It only really became meaningless when it became an internet term of abuse, which is probably just when you became aware of it.
Heck, just look up "generation snowflake" on Wikipedia.
the bolded part is very vague and why it applies to all the whiny bitches on both sides of the spectrum...i mean this thread is the 12th thread or so started about this subject alone
Sure. Both sides should stop using it just to refer to anybody who disagrees with something.
That really isn't all that vague. Just posting something on the internet about something you disagree with wouldn't qualify as displaying excessive emotional vulnerability. If you claimed to be triggered by taking down statues to be point of not feeling safe, then the "snowflake" label would make more sense.
Confederates were traitorous, incestuous, insurgent, domestic terrorists who were rightfully put in their correct place by God almighty, Sherman and Grant.
Burning all record of them from history is a good thing

You've lost your damn mind. No idea what happened to you but it wasn't good.
Masterfully put? Ha! What an idiot!
What will be next? What will be offensive to you libs tomorrow? I hope the ghosts of the Confederate dead haunt every last one of you who wish to destroy history and Southern Heritage by taking down the monuments. Changes nothing.

lol at southern heritage. lady, my family has as much "southern history" as anyone. there is nothing prideful to take away from that period in time. no one is "erasing history" as people like @Willence have ridiculously suggested; they're merely taking away symbols that glorify despicable acts by despicable men.
How about we take away rap music that glorifies violence against women? And drugs? Are you down with that?
lol of course not, because that's protected by the first amendment. this isn't a free speech issue. how are possibly this dumb on such a wide variety of subjects?
You're an idiot and a hypocrite. TI needs to be drained of you and all your far left BS. No need to reply.
Hope you have a terrible day-
cool. so you have no retort because you made a silly strawman argument that literally had nothing to do with the topic at hand. i'm so stoked for your generation to die out.
You're really a piece of work. Wanting monuments removed because you feel like the Confederates were wronging others.... yet wishing death on someone and being stoked about them dying because they disagree with you. Can you see what a fuggin lunatic you are?
a. i thought you were done.
b. did you forget that you originally posted this before editing?
No, I didn't. I deleted that because I actually have a conscience....even with idiot strangers on a message board. If someone had posted in the next few days, did y'all know that dumbass clemsompaw00 got hit by a truck and died- I would have actually felt bad about it. Later dumbass.
i don't know that the internet is right for you, ames. eerily similar to our pervy president, you don't seem to have the right temperament for this environment.
ClemsonPaw doing Gods work in here like Grant did in Pennsylvania
And Amy is coming off dumber than traitorous Lee did when he ignored Longstreet

Since you refuse to answer my questions I will be a gentleman & answer yours for you:
1. Shipping & fishing fleets, yes & please look into what cities & states were "Initial Shipping & Fishing Fleet.
2. Banking, yes as millions were made in income, commerce & insurance directly related to the slave trade.
3. 4. 5. Frontier, Midwest Farms & Ranches (Same question associated with western settlement) not directly as most was accomplished after slavery was abolished. However, money for such expansions west were made on the back of uncompensated laborers, slavery is indirectly associated with such!
6. Auto & tech industry, airport, skyscrapers not directly. However, I would love to know where families money for most of these came from.
Railroad I believe were on the labor of Asians, so no comment!
Now, please take the time & answer how free labor, slavery directly attributed to America growth, personal/ownership, free American growth, From 1619 to 1865 America was built with the help of free laborers, Slavery...Now Did America Profit & Grow during that period?
It's just Amy. She gets her news from Facebook memes, is racist, claims to be a Christian but espouses nothing but hate, and did I mention she's an idiotic bigot?
Nothing but hate? Idiotic bigot? Why don't you change your damn handle to RedForever, you commi.
You're a disgrace to my beloved orange. HIT THE IGNORE ON ME ********!
