And this is why it’s embarrassing to say you’re voting for the same guy as some of you people. Really sad you feel that strongly toward a confederate battle flag
People who display the confederate flag aren't doing so because of a fondness for slavery. They do it because they take pride that their ancestors put up a hell of a fight against damn near impossible odds. That said, I can understand black people not wanting to see reminders of what their ancestors had to endure.
I've got no problem removing confederate flags from public display because it obviously causes offense. What I find incredibly shortsighted is when people think that the flag only represents one thing to all people.

Slavery may have been the main point of contention for southern leadership, but the vast majority of southerners thought they were fighting the second American Revolution to escape the yolk of Northern tyranny. And most northerners did not give a shite about the black man, but fought instead to preserve the Union.
This became abundantly clear after the war when elected northern congressmen and appointed southern congressmen who were carpetbaggers and scalawags pushed to abolish slavery, but fought the citizenship of the freedmen, because that would give a huge population boost to the south by undoing the Three-Fifths Compromise. The north fought the war to subjugate the south, then orchestrated a reconstruction that punished the south with nearly a century of poverty.

Black people wouldn't vote for Republicans if we lined up every Southerner and shot them while singing Lift Every Voice. They're wedded body and soul to the Democratic Party, and it's absolute stupidity to piss on the people that actually support the GOP in a futile chase for those votes.

The flag that we are talking about was not the Stars and Bars flag which was the flag of the Confederacy.
We are discussing the flag of the foot soldiers.
Maybe take a look at the flag that represented the Confederacy and the Battle flag.

You make my point.
The Indians still use the swastika because they’re not going to let the Germans ruin it for them.
And why would they.

This board completely understands why blacks would vote for the Democratic Party. The party that enslaved them, that stood for Jim Crow Laws, that founded the Klan, that resisted Civil Rights, who came up with a welfare system to give you Just enough crumbs to keep you breathing with the understanding we get your vote on Election Day, that had the most recent US Senator that was an admitted Klan member.
What’s not to understand why blacks vote overwhelmingly Democratic and shun the Republican Party. It makes complete sense on an LSD trip or high on bath salts.

I was in the SCV 15 years ago and they saw this shite coming with the public memorials back then. They started buying small tracts of private property for memorials and flags. A lot of private donations of sections of land, too.

A confederate battle flag nor a flag used by the kkk in the 1960’s to intimidate blacks will never be a part of my “heritage” nor part of my south.
All of those things are a part of the history of the American South. Pretending otherwise does not change that history.

I also understand the hatred for slavery and many will concur this to be true, that slavery is wrong.
Do you also understand that the understanding of the morality of slave ownership was viewed much differently 200 years ago. There is a certain degree of foolishness to apply the moral standards of today to actions in the past.

170 years ago and for millennia prior, slavery was a worldwide institution and not limited to enslaving people of Africa. The USA and some countries in Europe developed a conscience on the practice and attempted to correct it. The correction killed 700,000 Americans, obliterated the Southern States' economies and the vast majority of family wealth. The result was an economic waste land and cruel treatment of the former confederate states for decades. It was close to a scorched earth policy. The US has been paying trillions in reparations for almost 60 years with various forms of welfare, "entitlements", affirmative action and many other initiatives.
BTW, I am a southern California (San Diego) transplant but I much prefer the southern culture and I have no problem with the Confederate battle flag as an identity symbol. IMO, the hatred for the flag is the result of the people being propagandized and mislead like lemmings by sociopath parasite politicians and Marxists. Observation, on a trip to the island of Antigua, I met a vendor, of dark African heritage who wore a do-rag of the confederate battle flag which he was quite proud of. Seems this head covering design is considered very beautiful and stylish on Antigua

Nope...I don't wonder about it a bit. It's certainly not about a flag or what happened hundreds of years ago.

You have insinuated that anyone who admires the battle flag of the Confederacy is a racist. And you don't expect someone to be pissed about it! Ya know, maybe we are tired of always being the ones that "should have empathy", I speak for myself and I know I am sick and tired of being criticized and put down for everything I do and who I am.
I don't believe that anyone who "admires the battle flag of the Confederacy is a racists"; however, I do think they are admiring a symbol that was coopted by others of our ancestors who joined the KKK and condoned abuse of the black race AFTER bravely fighting in the Civil War.
And...I had some relatives who fought for the South and others who owned land and slaves and did not fight (likely because of the elitist policies of the CSA).
People who want to honor the South should choose one of the original flags that was not coopted by the KKK; otherwise, we people who love the South are likely helping to destroy the country via the ballot box and giving the Democrat "media" their divisiveness they so much want to push.

Why would you permit hate groups to “own” those symbols.
I've seen newspaper reports of neo-Nazis, giving the Nazis salute to the American flag too.
Meanwhile, now BLM signs were painted across from Trump Tower in NYC. Seems to me that it is the BLM's equivalent of a cross burning.

That's not true. Some Blacks vote Republican because of their own reasons.
Most vote Democratic because that party aligns more with their interest and values. Like it or not, many of programs Democrats support actually help people of all races. And many of their ideals are practiced in other Western countries.
