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

[jtoler]

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

Bad analogy. Everything is about perspective, a sign of maturity is when one can see from others perspectives. Its a simple thought process yet few people rarely exercise it.

If we're going to ban the Stars and Bars, shouldn't we also ban the Stars and Stripes? Many more atrocities have been committed under the American flag than the Confederate flag.

Americans LOVE Slavery, as long as it happens in a foreign land that produces cheap goods to satisfy our appetites here in America.

That's actually very true and not limited to Americans. I hadn't thought of it that way before but you're 100% spot on with that.

I am an american. I dont love slavery. I also believe in freedom of speech.

So everything you own was produced in America?

You are my hero!

If one buys goods produced by FORCED LABOR, plain and simple, WE IN AMERICA SUPPORT SLAVERY.

I am not forcing anybody to work as a slave.

[PittsburghPlayer]

I am not forcing anybody to work as a slave.

I did not write that YOU were FORCING anybody to work as a slave.

HOWEVER,

If one buys goods produced by FORCED LABOR they are indeed PROMOTING slavery.

[louisvillekid]

nope

[zert]

You wrote all americans love slavery. I said I dont love slavery. Now you write if I buy goods I promote slavery. I have not seen any receipt that says thanks for giving to the slavery fund.

[Auto Donk]

not all americans hate slavery INSIDE the U.S.... Those who claim that Americans won't tolerate slavery WITHIN THIS COUNTRY need to scratch their summer vacation plans of a trip to Graceland, and get your asses down to DONKLAND:

I'll demonstrate to you people of such limited, opinionated minds just how very well alive slavery in the mother f'n U.S. is.....

[Auto Donk]

and these types of submissive slaves can't get enough of my control............

OK, Americans SAY that they do not approve of or LOVE slavery, but support it by buying products produced by slave labor. The receipts are there for those that choose to read them... On the internet, in the newspaper. Do you really need a receipt from the store to know what is common knowledge? Do you really not KNOW why jobs are moved overseas? Big biz likes cheap labor to increase their profits.

[blanda]

Yes and yes to this...way too many confederate license plates in the north...

So do small businesses like family owned shops who can't afford to build multimillion dollar factories. Huge majority of products you buy from big box stores aren't bought overseas by said big box store. They are bought wholesale from tiny businesses who yes, outsource the product, in order to maintain margins and compete while surviving. It's not as evil as so many make it out to be.

So if only AMERICANS that SAY they"do not approve of or LOVE slavery" because of the products they but, does that mean you love slavery because you buy those same products?

Did mom or pop make your iPad, phone, computer or whatever device you're expressing yourself with on SBR?

Or you don't approve of slavery but still use products that might be produced in FORCED labor countries?

[Auto Donk]

i'm a staunch supporter of slavery, tho I've never dommed a black woman. Only meager, extremely submissive white babe's have experienced my stock, riding crops, speculums, etc........

guess it's becoming clearer to me why the african american ladies shy away from that type of control....white chicks love it

You are 100% wrong. The flag removal is about making people feel good about themselves. Why stop there? Why not remove every damn thing from history that ever offended a person?

Hell, I think its time to change the capitals name from Washington to some other persons name who didnt have slaves.

I'm guessing two things, but only one needs to be correct for you not to understand. 1. You're not from the south. 2. You're not black.

[PAULYPOKER]

Hell no!

It is as American as Bo and Luke Duke!

most every woman who's ever opened up to me has confessed a straight up rape fantasy...........

put em in the stock and crank up some appropriate mood music.... and you straight up have these thoughts racing through their minds....

This would mean Walmart's entire inventory..

I knew there was something else besides monopolizing as to why I hate Walmart...

Walmart is the biggest plantation ever to exist on Earth

And its not even fukkin close........

You wanna see a symbol worse than the confederate flag?

[PAULYPOKER]

Just'a good ol' boys
Never meanin' no harm.

Someday the mountain might get 'em
But the law never will

Makin' their way
The only way they know how

That's just a little bit more
Than the law will allow.

[QUOTE=MoMoneyMoVaughn;24183871]It represents losing.

Who wants to fly the flag of a losing team?

Completely agree. We didn't let the British hang flags over our state houses after we trounced 'em. We don't fly Nazi flags or Japanese flags after they surrendered. Nobody, as they laughably said, is gonna fly the ISIS flag over our White House. And the confederate flag has no right being flown over any government building in the U.S. Leave it at a museum where it belongs. Welcome to the 21st century.

Gadsden is a better flag.

I've been bitten by snakes twice in my life....although I agree with the values of that issue....seeing that coiled up snake invokes painful memories for me so I find it offensive and don;t believe I should be forced to endure such shame

And regarding the flying symbols of a losing effort....what about the trendy wearing of the Guy Fawkes (Anonymous) mask at protests and other movements celebrating that dude.....he lost to. Of course the people who wear the mask have no idea of the history of it they just follow along with the crowd...much like the people suddenly offended by the state flags....who are as of this afternoon protesting in streets in cities burning both the American flag and Confederate flags together....so just goes to show you the pieces of cloth are not the issue...it's the people behind all of the nonsense.

[stevenash]

Why such an uproar over a piece of cloth?

Apparently it is more important than anything else going on in the country right now. I bet Caitlyn Jenner is not happy because that flag is stealing his spot light.

[smitch124]

I think PP is saying at least be aware of what you are doing when you buy products made with slave labor wages. There may be little choice, and buying things that are made only by workers that are paid fairly may be nearly impossible in the world as it exists today. But, know that you are supporting slavery in many ways with the purchases you make.

[yydouble]

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

Lmao
A true gambler's perspective!
You'd go from about a -125 to a -750!
