Who flies the rebel flag because they hate Blacks? Anyone?
If a guy wears that symbol on his jacket, does that mean he hates blacks?
Do any of these people support owning Blacks as slaves?
It has become somewhat of a symbol of a rebellious nature. Moonshiners, non-conformists, a good ole’ (rowdy) southern boy... it’s just a flag or symbol some folks like.
There are a number of things I don’t like seeing in life. Shall I and others make a list so we can all go through our day with nothing that offends?
Get a freakin’ life folks.
Unfortunately, Dylann Roof does.
Hi D1,
As always, we are seeing eye to eye. My comment would be toward more emphasis - I don't think there is a another more powerful symbol of legitimate rebellion in American culture...
As an instance, if a state were to depart the Union under her own flag, that would be something, alright - But if she raised up that Rebel flag, that'd be a whole 'nuther thing, and the impact would resonate like a bell throughout the South, the lower Midwest(perhaps all of the Midwest), the Desert Southwest and the Rockies. And black, brown, red, yellow, or white, everyone therein would not see it as an endorsement of slavery, but rather, the singular, only, and ultimate symbol of American rebellion that it most certainly is.
Something very much akin to the reaction here. There isn't a Country kid anywhere that doesn't hear that, or that doesn't know what it means... If the Gadsen flag is 'NO!', the Rebel flag is 'Aw hell, NO!"
And that is why the 'PTB' need so very much to discredit it.
Can you imagine even trying to find a color to paint everything so no one would be offended? And then there would be those who would be offended if you painted everything the same color...
In other words, you just can't make everyone happy.
