Confederate flag banned from being sold or displayed on state property in New York

Agreed. It is a hate flag. Hate speech is not protected.

Actually, hate speech is protected. That's really what the First Amendment is about. You are allowed to say hateful things and make an ass of yourself. Banning that is about ending First Amendment protections on free speech.
 
I had a friend who owned the actual Nazi flag. One of his relatives fought in WW2 and gave it to him. When he showed it to me, it was an eerie experience. There were bloods on it and I felt it. Surreal.

New York state probably has the most pro Trump White Christians in the Northeast.

It's s misconception that Whites here are a Liberals .
Something like 45 out of 61 NY counties voted Trump in 2016 & 41 in 2020.


Even NYC borough Staten Island went for Trump by over 60% twice.

Even though its far from 100% White.

Agreed. It's also evidence of LW authoritarianism meaning they are no better than the RW authoritarians AKA fascists AKA fucking Nazis.

Thank God we had Trump to protect the rights of all Americans. ;)

Lol, most New Yorkers are from people who arrived since the Civil War.

Except maybe Onion Town & similar areas.

Truth is NY is dominated by 20th century & late 19th century immigrants like Italians, Irish Catholics, Jews, Blacks, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans , Chinese, Mexicans. Poles, Russians, Albanians, Hindus etc.

The Irish Catholics who were in NY didn't like Blackd, either.

Like the Draft Riots.

Sure, around the city, upstate not so much, many of them have been here a long time.......

The draft riots were a long time ago.

Why did you feel the need to point out they didn't like blacks?? THey didn't like Polish either, nor Italians, frankly they didn't like anyone, hell not even themselves...lol

Disagree, a lot of Italians in Utica, Poles in Buffalo & Irish Catholics everywhere in between.

Germans maybe some.

But, most of them probably also arrived also in the mid to late 19th century.??

It's mostly English, Scots & Dutch who have such roots.

What are they like 8% of NY?

Even some of those are recent arrivals too.

Where I grew up in Putnam Lake, NY English, Scots & Dutch were virtually extinct.

We had 1 Scottish immigrant from the Bronx & an English immigrant from Brooklyn.

Now Pawling where I now reside is s bit different.

We have some English, Scots & Dutch.

Most of them are borderline Hobos

Maybe 8% of the population?

I lived in the city about 30+ years ago but only knew a few upstate & they were old families, but perhaps an exception..

My good hiking buddy is Italian, Polish & Native American from Buffalo, although he looks mostly Native & talks mostly nazely w/ Italian mannerisms..

He always says when the Poles get in there running the city they blame everything on the Italians, & when the Italians get in they blame everything wrong on the Poles..:laugh:
