Once again, stupid. If you honestly use THAT as reasoning for showing "confederate pride" (which is the most behind the curtain racist thing to say) then you're a complete idiot. You might as well just come out and say "i'm a racist", at least then I might give you points for owning it. ------------- "According to Sue Johanson, theres nothing that can increase your manhood, trust me I've already looked into it for myself." -Zata |

Please tell why the battle flag of the Confederacy, just the flag itself, is racist?
Simply because the primary (but not sole) reason of the Confederacy was to retain the right to slavery? That in itself makes this SYMBOL a racist tag? I guess so. Just like a noose is suddenly 'racist' these days... cause they're only used to lynch old Americans of African descent, and nothing else. It's all about perception. You wish to perceive the Flag as racist... so be it. While I don't have any personal stake (won't ever see it on my property or person), it, in itself, does not bother me in the slightest. As far as I'm concerned, Da Hui can wave that flag as much as he likes. Actions and words are what should be important... not a symbol. Especially when you have ZERO basis to judge what the symbol being shown is meant to represent. |

Then perhaps you should inform those people of the true meaning of the Confederate Battle Flag and why the succession took place. Contrary to public belief, the Flag in my avatar is not the Flag of the Confederate States of America. It was a battle flag, it never flew over a slave nation like some say and believe. The North owned Slaves, just as the South did at the time of Civil War. Saying the South is any more racist than the North was is nothing more than ignorance. Keep in mind the United States owned slaves for over 80 years, for how long did the South hold slaves? I'm not denying the fact that some (idiots) display this flag as a symbol for racism and slavery. But for most of us who proudly display the flag, its out of pride for our heritage. I don't condone slavery or racism. I do not believe in Slavery, nor does anybody I know. I have relatives who fought in the Civil War for the Confederacy. And to whoever brought up the fact I live in Florida, I was born in Georgia and most of my family still lives there. The further North you are in Florida, the Further south you really are and visa versa. -------------

Yes, I can understand why some get offended. However, that does not mean that they are correct. Everything I said is fact, and is backed up by history. If people choose to be ignorant and constantly condemn something they do not understand, they can go right ahead.

I'm not offended by the flag at all, but I think it's in poor taste. It is a racist flag, though, no matter how you look at it. You can say it was a battle flag for the confederate states, but at the same time it was a battle flag that stood for the things they were fighting for and believed in, which were slavery, segregation, and belief that the white race is superior to others. You can history lesson me all you want, but at the end of it, no matter how positively you try to spin the confederate flag, it is a highly offensive thing to have. I'm not telling you to take it down or whatever because I believe freedom of speech, I just think theres a certain time and place for everything to be displayed. In this case, the confederate flag isn't something that should be flown...ever. It's offensive, and represents a time when things weren't right in this country. All it does is support the beliefs of all those awful people that succeeded from the Union so they could keep their slaves and free labor all those years ago. It's disgusting. I'm sorry if I'm offending you buy saying these things, but I'm just throwing my thoughts out there. ------------- "According to Sue Johanson, theres nothing that can increase your manhood, trust me I've already looked into it for myself." -Zata |

The Civil War was essentially about slavery. Look at any number of Lincoln's speeches. Even when he doesn't directly mention slavery it is his underlying issue. The beginning of the war dealt with slavery on a different level than the end though. Border states sent men to both armies to fight and never truly joined anyone. Those governments understood at the beginning that the goal was to keep slavery where it was and to not allow the expansion of the institution. However, by picking up books by Shelby Foote or James McPhearson, McPhearson being one of the best Civil War historians of all time, it's pretty clear. |

I would probably think Nazi, but would be unsure. I wouldn't be offended just curious. It kinda depends on what the person looks like/acts like. Also on the topic of the confederation civil war etc: I'm not going to pretend I know alot about the civil war, but I do know that it is kinda stupid to say that the South was more racist than the North because both were using slaves and when the North decided that they weren't going to allow slaverey anymore all of their slaves went to the South. They weren't set free they were just sold to slave owners in the South. -------------

It would depend on the context. I know I would be profiling, but on anyone other than a white person, I would see that the person was implying the original definition of the swastika. I would be very skeptical if it was on a white person. However, since most Nazis with extensive tattoos combine the swastika with other symbols of the Nazi party, it would only be fair to pass negative judgment when the swastika is in this combination. Also, I believe the original swastika had the arms bending counter clockwise. Swastikas when used by the Nazi party had the arms bending clockwise, and the symbol tilted at 45 degrees. We see swastikas as the Nazis used them so often that it would be pretty easy to spot a swastika in its original orientation (it would seem a bit off). Unless the neo-Nazi or the tattoo artist are that stupid (which they may or may not be), it is likely that a person wearing the original swastika is not a neo-Nazi. As for the Confederate flag, I don't know enough about my history to make judgment about its racial symbolism. I can only ask this question that is not just pointed at Da Hui: How can someone who waves the Confederate flag (a symbol for secession) still call himself a patriotic American? They were not exactly being oppressed, so their rebellion was not justified. -------------

let me first say i am not for or against the flag... im just going into a history major and feel like saying what i know. the confederate flag although seen by many today as a racist symbol was only made to be the difference of 2 nations. many dont know that the civil war was fought because white people in the north felt like they could get jobs because of slaves. in fact many northerners were worse then southerners. and why wouldnt they be. it was a way to make a maximized profit without losing any money other them feeding and clothing. the northerners felt the same way towards immigrants also. also many people find the confederate flag to be a symbol of southern heritage http://www.stentorian.com/con_flag.html - http://www.stentorian.com/con_flag.html http://arebelflag.net/ - http://arebelflag.net/ http://ehistory.osu.edu/uscw/index.cfm - http://ehistory.osu.edu/uscw/index.cfm basically i just posted a bunch of stuff that could be used on either side. |
