Do You Believe The Confederate Flag Is Racist? Should It Be Banned?

[Seaweed]

Anyone own one?


I would like to hear what you all think


I am Canadian so enlighten me

[JohnnyD4916]

Not racist

It shouldn't be banned

Yes I own 11 of them

Am I racist?

[Seaweed]

Isn't the flag linked to America's racist past in the south? I mean the flag was used by the Confederates who supported slavery.

[no1here]

flag has nothing to do with white vs blacks as war was between whites,
flag was hung in victory, State is finally accepting losing

[guitarjosh]

No it shouldn't be banned.

Yes it should not be flying over government buildings.

Most people that I've met that have one don't fly it because they're racist, but because of Southern Pride.

Most people that fly a Mexican flag don't fly it because they're pro slavery, pro genocide, or angry America won the Mexican - American war, they're proud of their Mexican heritage.

[teaserpleaser]

Yes and yes

[seaborneq]

The flag is not racist. People are. The flag never hurt anybody. People hurt people. The flag is a symbol. People are the problem.

[teaserpleaser]

A symbol of racism

[teaserpleaser]

Doesn't matter the flags dead miss...tenn...bama...they'll all have to take them down pc coming to the south ....NOW sooner than I thought to be honest.

[Big Bear]

no it should not be banned.

what should be banned are those damn seat belt dingers they install in cars these days. Those chimes are so annoying!

[Booya711]

The only thing that should be banned is the OP....saloon

[jjgold]

yes

get rid of it

[Mr KLC]

Yep - just like us Mericans to offer up and devour symbolism instead of dealing with the real problems at hand.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Whether or not it represents racism, it shouldn't be banned.

[texhooper]

folks who choose to display the flag aren't necessarily racist, but it does start to increase the odds in that direction.

so you saying it would be a bad idea for a white man to walk around a black neighborhood with a Confederate Flag tatoo on their back?

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

It represents losing.

Who wants to fly the flag of a losing team?

Gadsden is a better flag.

[KVB]

The flag is not racist. People are. The flag never hurt anybody. People hurt people. The flag is a symbol. People are the problem.

Some truth here. I understand the power of symbols, but with those symbols should come some education it seems many don't have. After all, who relates the swastika to Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism? For hundreds of years the swastika had a peaceful meaning of good fortune. It took only a few years for the Nazi Party to destroy that history and meaning for western culture.

Symbols are very powerful but, indeed, people are the problem.

[rkelly110]

Squeeky wheel gets the grease. Squeeky wheel meaning blacks. Grease meaning appease.

That flag flew 150 years ago, they lost. It's time to get over it.

[daneblazer]

no it should not be banned.

[daneblazer]

I don't think it should be banned for an individual to fly on their property, but I don't think it should be a symbol of a state.

Just be aware that flying or wearing it comes with assumptions.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Weeder, would you sport this?

[Auto Donk]

my main man here, an african american, thinks he knows:

[Auto Donk]

as does this guy:

[Auto Donk]

I'd rather not see it on this ho:

nice redneck bedroom she's in............

[Seaweed]

Flag is racist because it is linked to racist past. It stood for the south which wanted Slavery

[Auto Donk]

Weeder, would you sport this?
x

if the nose hole were bigger he might......

no way he fits that over-sized beak/snoz of his through that little hole....

be like me trying to enter a 18 yr old babe's virgin ass with no lube.....

[Auto Donk]

I'd rather not see it on this ho:

nice redneck bedroom she's in............

only interesting thing about this photo, now that i look closely at it, is the small "shadow" being throw off by her pussy lips making a small rise in the crotchal reason..... either that or posing like a total whore is makig her wet.....

poll: is it a shadow off her lips or is it a "me so hooooeeee-knnnneeeeeeee" wet spot????

[Carseller4]

The American Flag is next.

It's coming.

Some already find it offensive. Then what?

[Auto Donk]

I like this dude's sense of political correctness, myself...........

[DiggityDaggityDo]

as does this guy:

Donker that guy sucks on these titties.

[Auto Donk]

Donker that guy sucks on these titties.

all things come with a price, diggity... he also has to listen to her voice and the words coming out of her mouth/vapid brain.....

you need to analyze my photo and answer the poll question above, diggers..... u r one of the few who are probably qualified enough to provide an accurate analysis/answer!

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Donker I think thats pussy shadow

[grease lightnin]

In this postmodern world, things mean what the social construct says they mean. The american mainstream social construct says the Confederate flag is racist.

Question: for what reason would the southern man want a Confederate states of america? After they had their free labor taken from them, their economy has sucked. Even today , they receive far more assistance from the federal government than the rest of the usa...

[capone1899]

Plantations used slaved workers in the past.....I think all plantations should be shut down. Also think all buses, restaurants, schools, and businesses that once segregated or treated blacks bad should be shutdown

Also think every president that was in office during slavery should be removed from history books and no longer be recognized as a president

See how stupid all that sounds? It's just a damn flag. Find something better to do
