Thoughts on the confederate flag

[Mark Antony]

Next time you head back to Vietnam, head over to Cambodia rocking the Khmer rouge flag and tell them it's just a symbol. Let us know how that works out.

I'm just going to diddy bop my way out this thread and go to the bathroom...

While you in the bathroom practicing for when you become a Saudi prince

Just remember that dudes like Ninja and SunDoobie, that are in here defending the displaying of and obvious racist symbol, are on Team Trump with you.

That is the company you're keeping

 

[Mark Antony]

I see the setup but that bathroom argument is a waste of breath too.

Pre-law creepy guy:
I'm going to walk up in the ladies room and do some creepy ****.


Post-law creepy guy:
I'm going to walk up in the ladies room and do some creepy ****.

Black skin is a symbol, it can mean different things to different people, don't impose a biological African ancestry on Dominicans famb

This one is for ninjahood and steezy

When I was in Vietnam a couple years ago, the Swastika symbol was everywhere... statues, buildings, etc.. but it didn't represent Nazism it represented Buddhism.

Are we as Americans really this sensitive these days over symbols that may represent different views based on an individual's interpretation?

Hindu/Buddhist swastika:

Nazi swastika:

Black latinos don't wanna be black because they've been conditioned to think it's ugly. People down there, at least in Mexico, really think like that.

Jorge Ramos and most other news casts are white.

For some reason I'm more inclined to accept black latino as opposed to black dominican.

Used to really bother me, but now i'm how she is with it. Believe what you want to, if you want to fly a symbol that says i'm a proud loser and racist that's on you, saves me from having any dealings with you and your hateful, pathetic loser aura.

 

[Magic33]

It used to upset me

but then I realized it just exposes people

 

[spiceman80]

Good for her, don't give these people your hard earned money. I'm not even mad he portrays it so proudly either. Makes it easier to know who to stay away from.

 

[ninjahood]

best case scenario...no one tells him what to do with his flag, no one tells her how to spend her money.

 

[Mark Antony]

Sometimes I'm tempted to ask these "heritage" dudes what's the name of their relative that fought in the civil war just to watch them freeze.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Whats funny is these confederate flag people love to talk about how "patriotic" they are meanwhile the confederates fought against the US and wanted to break this country's union and start their own thing in the south.

 

[Mark Antony]

The Confederate Flag was created by a group that committed treason, and fought a war to protect the institution of slavery.

Properly summarized by Rusty. Treason, fought to protect slavery, and they lost. These folks should legit be treated as enemies of the state.

 

[Nouss]

That's the most assbackwards part about it. Your southern ancestors didn't want to be a part of this country.

Them cats disrespecting they're own ancestors reppin both sides.

Oh and that "state's rights" bs.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

And to be clear the north wasn't no better. Lincoln didn't give a damn about black people or ending slavery, in his own words they woulda kept slavery if the south had given in to them.

They consider themselves the real american people. When you hear pols say that, the american people, that is who they are speaking for and to. To quote the movie, everyone else is just visiting.

 

[blastercombo]

I’m told we should see the “good side” to all these horrific things.

 

[sooperhooper]

Reminds me of what the Simpsons said about fox news: it's not racist but it's the number one choice for racists.

I'm not a history buff so i don't know all the details about it but it does seem to be linked to racism and slavery somehow, and i feel that the people that support it are basically ok with slavery.

Oh fox news is long past this now, they are full on racist like their viewers.

 

[Brownstone]

Just moved to the south and haven't seen one yet don't know how I'll react internally.

 

[AEA18]

Racists groups in Europe fly the stars & bars in place of the nazi flag (banned in their countries).

Odd choice for people that have no "southern heritage/pride".
