Is it racist? Or is it just sticking a few middle fingers to the man?

The more you push southerners the more obstinate they will be. To some it is racism, but to many it's we against outsiders trying to change our country ethos. I would never fly a confederate flag as I do think it is seen by some as offensive, but I would likely fly an Up Your Butt Obama and Hillary flag or a Reno County flag.

What does Reno County's flag look like? Do you have a pic? Very interested.

I was born in Birmingham. Pops said the neighbors used to fly Confederate Flags on 4th of July instead of American Flag. I was only three when we moved out of that shithole state so I don't remember though.

Is that a satire site?

At its best, its a symbol for being a traitor and losing a war.

Dugout DickStone · « **Reply #20 on:** July 14, 2015, 02:01:20 PM »

Do your parents have a confederate flag?

Nope, I just dont understand the love for it. I mean even if it wasnt racist, which i believe it is, it still stands for being a traitor against the union and losing a war. 2 things i wouldnt be proud of.

The point is that by saying you can't have or fly a confederate flag, you're essentially letting a small group of butthurt people take a giant crap on your constitutional rights and history of how the United States became the United States.

but is anyone saying that?
(some people probably are, but is it going to happen or is it happening?)

you can buy a rough ridin' nazi flag from budK to use for your kid's bedspread. this is america.

nobody is banning or confiscating your confederate flags. this is the living socratic clownsuit to the intolerance of my intolerance bullshit

Mrs. Gooch · « **Reply #24 on:** July 14, 2015, 02:48:04 PM »

I don't think we should legally not allow people to have the confederate flag, but we should all treat them like the racist traitors that they are.
