The Confederate Flag

[Brent]

Indeed, to ideologically blind to see the truth...

My god are you freaking stupid.
Tough guy **** is played out, because you don't even know who I am or what I'm about or what I've done in my life. As usual, you're just assuming that because I don't share your f'd up views that I'm some pussy lefty jerkoff.
You my friend will say the wrong thing in public around the wrong person and will pay the price for it one day, mark my words. That is unless you only say it online or to your friends in private?????
You still don't understand the perception of that damn flag. OK, maybe you're not a 'racists' so to speak due to the fact that I just 'assumed' you were because of your display and defense of that despicable flag even though I have not seen you make any racists remarks on this forum. Maybe you're just an ignorant white guy that has no freaking idea what that flag means to people of color. How could you, you probably have never been around or had any family that is of color and PLEEEEASE do not say that you have a black friend or I take back every single word!
I 'assume' you're just guilty by association. There is that better?

AAAAHHHHHhh HAAAaaaaa!

this pretty much says it all. one race of peoplewho only sees one side of an issue. i'll give you a couple of what i beleive in. if the flag is used for hate or used by kkk or any of those white supremacy(sp?) groups, then i also have an issue with that. but when the flag is used for history for the confederate history and its people, then i don't. but brent, to call someone ignorant just because they dont see it as you do... is just as ignorant. two favorite words blacks use against whites...racist and ignorant lol. i dont pay too much attention on what blacks cry about due to their double standards. when they get over their hate and rcist behaviour, then i'll start to listen......maybe

Did you just make a blanket statement about one race of people?

And once again, since it seems to be falling on a lot of willfully deaf ears - the Confederate flag owes it's resurgence to racially bigoted and pro-segregation groups of the 1950's. That resurgence had been twisted into the guise of "southern pride", in a pathetic attempt to maintain some semblance of legitimacy.

Brent actually did acknowledge the possibility that Hawggy isn't racist, but is either unable or unwilling to acknowledge that the Confederate flag embodies some of the most despicable and hateful thoughts in this country's history. If it's the latter, then it is in fact willful ignorance.

that flag stands for hatred and bigotry it has no place in society except in a museum. Most African American like myself all feel the same anytime that flag is displayed.

Things are not racist, people are... Things are what people make them. I don't like some people for the way that they live or the things that they do but I don't tell them they have to change for me. Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

This is NOT the "Confederate" flag, this is the BATTLE FLAG adopted by the confederacy. The rebel flag was hijacked by racist southern DEMOCRAT created groups such as the KKK for a time in the mid 20th century. The Civil war was NOT about racism, slavery or anything to do with race, but was all about state rights and economics. The leftist revisionists of today want you to believe it's race based because today's South embraces right to work laws, low taxes, INDIVIDUAL freedom and liberties and many are calling for secession due to the federal government's growing overbearing power, interference in business and socialization of our society. The rebel battle flag is being used as a tool by the globalist socialist/fascist movement to sow division in our nation. Unfortunately too many know nothing about our nation's true history.

As I said, I am NOT a racist in any way. And as I stated earlier in this thread I abhor slavery of any kind by any people. I am a constitutional conservative and I believe in state rights, limited federal government, low taxes and individual freedom and liberties which the South of TODAY embraces and the left doesn't. You are a propagandist and have a stalker mentality towards me...

Then are you calling for the Stars and Stripes to be relegated to a museum too? Slavery was just as apparent in the North as the South. The Rebel flag stands for state rights and the right of the states to do business with limited federal government interference as well as "Southern pride"...

You are now officially worth ignoring. Don't cry. I'm sure Lady Quagga will keep you entertained. As for me. I now feel like I'm wrestling with a pig in the mud and the pig REEEEEEEAAAAALY likes it.
You're NEVER going to get it because you are not capable and by the way, you're absolutely wrong by saying the South embraces the flag unless you want to confirm every single thing I've ever said and agree that it's the "WHITE SOUTH" that embraces it.
I will wait for you ridiculous reply and be done with you.

Thank you my brother from another mother. The wannabe 'Rednecks' on this board are very hard headed and are either racists or ignorant to why African Americans hate the flag. It has to be one or the other.
