Truth From An Unlikely Source?
By Mona Lease

Hi, all!! The following is from a one Mr. Scott Gauthier - a black man.

"How ya'll doin', America? We're gonna talk just a little bit about the Confederate Flag - just for a second. Just for a second we're gonna talk about the flag. See this flag? See this Confederate Flag behind me? A lot of people think it was just meant for slavery or was fought on racism. And it most certainly was not. Just to get everybody's mind in a little bit of history - the Draft was even started for black people when the Confederates were fighting. I'm pretty sure a lot of you didn't even know that. But they fought for the Confederacy as free men…

So now everybody talk about the flag being racist and this and that and the third. Now everybody just think about the shirt you're wearing - that you been wearing for years - years before your grandsons were born - and all of that and the third. You all been wearing cotton shirts - somebody was picking it - right? So I just wanna know - if you all think the Confederate Flag is racist - why then you all still wearin' cotton shirts? Because it all represents the same thing - the bloody fingers that was pickin' the cotton…

But if you think it was just black folks that was slaves - you are sadly mismistaken. Almost every race has been a slave one or part of the time - almost every race. And black people - you all haven't had the worst. You actually got away from something. Because let me tell you something - there was slaves in Africa. You were a slave down here and a slave in Africa. Get over it. It wasn't you. You didn't do it. Get over it…

Stop blaming other people. Stop blaming other people who had nothing to do with slavery. Stop doing it - it ain't worth it. This flag does not mean this no more - maybe once during a war - to a very select few. The war was not fought on slavery. If you think that you're important - you're pretty ignorant - if you think a war was fought on slavery. I'm just askin' ya'll, America - what do you think?

The information you just gained you gotta find because they ain't gonna teach it in school. Educate yourself and learn something before you just completely start throwing hate on something - before you even know anything about it. Do ya'll homework. I'm out." 

Recorded and broadcast from "The Shed Labadieville, La."   9,178,352 views. LiveLeak.comScott Gauthier's view on the Confederate Flag. This thing went viral. Facebook blocked "sharing" it from one person to another. As I pen this - you can still view it at - LiveLeak.comScottGauthier's view on the Confederate Flag. Once again - the truth gets to be more than most want to hear!

Remember the kiddies and our service people. Take good care of the furry and feathered ones out there. Be safe and healthy. See ya next time. Ever Toodles!! MONA
