Georgia lawmakers set to debate flag
Black legislators pledge filibuster to stop third flag proposal
ATLANTA, April 24 — As the Georgia House prepares to debate whether to
create the state's third flag in two years, black lawmakers are
pledging a filibuster to kill the legislation.
‘At this point we need to bring closure, and I'd just rather settle
it.'
— REP. TERESA GREENE-JOHNSON
THE BILL WOULD create a temporary flag that includes the
state seal in the top left corner and three red-and-white stripes to
the right. To become permanent, the design would have be approved by
voters next March.
If voters reject the design, the bill calls for another
referendum with two choices — an early Georgia flag or the Confederate
banner adopted by the all-white Legislature in 1956.
Black legislators oppose the bill because it could lead to the
second referendum — and allow the revival of the old Confederate
banner dominated by the rebel cross.
The Senate approved the bill Tuesday with amendments that mean
it must return to the House for review. The House will take up the
matter Friday, on the last day of the legislative session.
BLOCKING THE BILL
Any attempts to filibuster will depend on House Speaker Terry
Coleman, who oversees debates and can interpret the rules. Coleman met
with black lawmakers Wednesday, but said he wasn't persuaded to help
block the bill.
"They were offended. They continue to be hurt," Coleman said.
Later, he said, "I would predict we'll probably come together.
Nobody's happy with all of it."
Rep. Teresa Greene-Johnson, a black Democrat who argued against
the flag bill, said the goal is to be done with the issue.
"At this point we need to bring closure, and I'd just rather
settle it," she said.
If the legislative session expires with no flag bill, it could
die until next year or it could be revived in a possible special
session on the budget.
Georgia's flag saga began in 2001, when black lawmakers led a
movement to change the 1956-issue state flag that was dominated by a
large Confederate emblem. Then-Gov. Roy Barnes pushed a new flag
through the Legislature in less than a week with no public hearings,
creating a backlash that figured in his defeat to Gov. Sonny Perdue.
Perdue became Georgia's first GOP governor in 130 years in part
because he promised a vote on the flag.

Look around...the south has already risen again, and in the long run,
they WON the civil war.
Also, don't top-post, moron.
To this day, the yanks in the N.E. think they rule the world. WE'VE got news for them. They
don't here in the south.

Why does all of this redneck crap keep getting posted to chi.discuss?
Don't those people know how to read a map? Last I checked, Chicago was
*north* of the mason-dixon line.

Tell you what Bubba, if the south had won there would be no USofA. If
Germany had won or Japan had won, or the USSR had had its way, there
would be no USofA today. I like my country, any who would or tried to
harm it are the enemy. The flags of those enemies of the USofA have no
place outside of museums, and there only as symbols of failed attempts to
destroy the USofA.
The North should have stooped to the level of the suthrins' after
defeating them, and annihilated every last one of the bastards. The
USofA would have benefited today from not having in-bred suthrins' as
members.
Fuck you, FUCK your suthrin' racist family! Not about slavery my ass!
Only a dumb inbred, ignorant, semi-literate, under-average intellect,
semi-sentient, one step removed from their baboon cousins, suthrin'
believes any of your 'revisionist' suthrin' view history drivel.
Go away you smell bad!
You're mixing apples and oranges.

They did ...
Or didn't they tell you that on the TV show you learned all about the North on?
Lots of people were destroyed for no reason.
The North kept the war going on and on because it was _profitable_.

Time for another civil ar huh?
BTW Lincoln didn't really care about slavery.
(which was becoming passe' at the time anyway)
Freeing the slaves was an afterthought for him.
Have a listen...
