aujeff11 6,243 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I'm not sure if this requires a new thread, so I'm just going to put it here. I understand different public figures are going to have their opinions on the issue but in my opinion there is no sense in cluttering the forum with different threads of the same issue. Here is Bruce Pearl's take on the confederate flag. Auburn coach Bruce Pearl understands the debate over the Confederate flag is a nuanced one. Especially in the South. On both sides of the issue, passions run high.Pearl tried to strike a balance between the two when asked about the flag Monday. “The Confederate flag means a lot in a very positive way to a lot of folks in the South. It identifies the South in many, many ways that are historical,” he said during his time on the SEC men’s basketball teleconference. “And it some circles, it’s really positive. But in other circles it is not a positive symbol in our country." With that in mind, Pearl said he had no issue with the flag being removed from public places. "It flying in public areas that represents all the people — not just a certain element — can be a real challenge," he said. "When something is offensive to somebody, I think it’s important that we recognize that and in public places be sensitive of that and take the flag down." Pearl stressed, however, that he didn't have "as big a problem" with the flag as others. "I recognize the positive aspects of that symbol ... I do think it’s good that in our country we have this debate," he said. "We can discuss it." While Pearl appreciates the discourse over the Confederate flag, he felt it was far more important to find a way to unite the country. That's why he feels so strongly about respecting the American flag. "I’d like to take the opportunity ... to honor our flag and to fly our flag and take better care and honor our flag more. So much is being made of the Confederate flag right now and I get that," Pearl said. "But (with) July 4 coming up, let’s raise our flag. Let’s honor our flag (and) what it stands for. I understand the freedoms that our country enjoys. It just bothers when people desecrate our flag and don’t honor it. It bothers me tremendously." http://auburn.247sports.com/Bolt/Bruce-Pearl-weighs-in-on-Confederate-flag-debate-37984260 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aujeff11 6,243 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I'm surprised he didnt say "if you believe in southern heritage, you're just a bigot wanting to offend others." That seems to be overwhelming opinion save for proud and raptor. Wait, no I'm not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autigeremt 6,776 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 The National Parks Service has lowered the Confederate Flag from Ft. Sumter. Anyone see the trend unfolding? THIS is why it is hard for so many true open minded people to accept liberal progressives. I'd say unbelievable but that would be lying to myself. http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20150628/PC16/150629493 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
