Your expression of concern is underwhelming. Thanks for caring.
Cutting to the chase,
But it doesn't help for white Southerners to rally around the flag of a defunct political cause that in the modern era cannot be associated with anything other than slavery and/or secessionism.
Yes it can. It was. Still is. You just don't get it, but you propose to make that our problem. See our problem with you?
You reap what you sow.
...There it is. Now, tell it to the Jews.
For many years slave-owning white Southerners inflicted great harm on their slaves.
Yeah, and they were about 20% of the white population. Bet you didn't know that. Bet even more you flat don't care, you've got your answers, and you think you've got the nation by the ya-ya. Well, guess what, boy......tail gonna wag the dog. Yessir, tail gonna wag the dog.
Why are these Confederate flag wearing yahoos....
Thank you for your concern, your magnanimity is showing.
.....so sensitive about what happened to their great-great grand daddies, but so insensitive to what happened to the slaves?
No, that isn't it, is it? You aren't concerned about the slaves! Don't try to sell us that one! Your concerns are a little closer to home, and it shows.
It's time to let go of the past, and think about what kind of society to build for the future.
Time for who to let go of what past, or rather, whose past? Speak for yourself. And what's this "we" stuff -- you got a tapeworm?
How about this for a deal: white Southerners agree to not use that flag as a rallying point or symbol of Southerness and black Americans drop this reparations nonsense.
But we're talking to you. What are you going to put on the table? Nothing? Kinda thought so, Yankee.
