"Enslaving your fellow man? Read up on the state Consititutions of the Confederates. It was quite clear what they represented."

You have a need for a serious history lesson. Let me see if I can make it clear for you.

American Flag - Flew over slavery for around a hundred years, give or take a few.

Confederate Flag - Flew over slavery for 4 years.

American Flag - Flew over ships that brought slaves from Africa.

Confederate Flag - Flew over no slave ships.

American Flag - Flew over the utter destruction of the American Indians.

Confederate Flag - Nope.

Yes, the Confederate Constitution included slavery, but as I recall, the US Constitution did so as well, up to and including making slaves 3/5th human.

Your arguments are old and lame. If saying that the only reason not to fly the flag is slavery, then you'd better be prepared to hall down Ole Glory as well. In fact, you're probably going to be halling down the majority of the flags of the world, as one time or another, they've flown over slavery.

Your polemic is interesting, after a fashion, but quite irrelevant. Let me see if I can make it clear for you: yes, the US flag flew over slavery. But: the US flag was not formed to *protect* the institution of slavery.


Is that clear enough?
