Thoughts On The Rebel Flag

I guess the association is what I have a hard time accepting although I can say I am starting to understand it.  I have never seen the flag as anything but a point of Southern pride.  Never associated it with slavery as there were slaves in the north also under a different flag.  The civil war wasn't purely about slavery.  It is truly unfortunate that a small group of truly ignorant people have been able to ruin the opinions of the majority concerning said flag.  As much as I hate admitting it.  I am getting your point.

Great. Now that we've resolved that issue join me in working on the next one - getting people to pull their fucking pants up

Alain started that in the 80's with his friends Chris and Cross.  He first told them that wearing them backwards would be double cool but redacted that to just sagging as an alternative that all would enjoy.

Edit: 7 black churches burned to the ground since the conversation focused on taking down the flag - coincidence?

And Darnell, the answer to that question is that yes, it appears the majority of cases were coincidence.

Your trolling skills are getting pretty stale.  I expect better from you.

Well my material is created on the spot.  Yours is something you cut and paste off of Wikipedia and google.  The shame is that you don't realize everyone on VS knows this.  You are the poster child for pathetic.

Look what that rebel flag made these tornadoes do to this church in Portland MI. Will this insanity ever stop?! We need to get rid of this flag! Next it'll be global warming.

Did you ever consider Gary that you're the one actually being trolled here? ;)

Possibly but then I shrugged it off because I am untrollable.  ;)

Oh boy. Somebody better watch out for the Duke boys. They might burn some churches down.

I know; it all makes sense now. All those times I watched the Dukes Of Hazzard as a kid and subconsciously thought, I need to go oppress blacks.

I blame Kevin.

The amount of hate and racism in this photo. Can you feel it?

 

 

That's how it played out? Those states were like "We hate integration so raise that flag!"? The flag wasn't there prior to that? You said the flag "is now a symbol of racist bigots"; you honestly believe that everywhere that flag is stamped or was flown, those people hate blacks? Have you ever been to the south before? Get some opinions from them before you decide to speak for them ;). Racism is BS and anyone that hates someone over skin color is a moron, you guys are the ones keeping coals burning hot.

There is an old adage that seems to apply here: You two are young, dumb, and full of cum...

Discussing this topic with you is like arguing with my 5 year old grandson about why he has to take a nap - and then watching him cry himself to sleep when he has to face reality

You two are lazy. It's clear to me that you don't really care enough about this issue to research anything. You're just trolls - lazy trolls.

So, instead of going back and forth with you on a topic that you obviously know nothing about from 1st hand experience and you probably know little about from research - let's play a game.

It's an easy game. The object is to find an image on the internet, supporting your argument/stance/position in this conversation

I'll go first. My argument is that the flag is associated with racism:

Ku_Klux_2457182f.jpg

And for extra credit, here is an article to support my argument too:

http://www.newrepublic.com/article/122216/confederate-flag-still-flying-today-because-kkk

Now, its your turn. Don't give me some lame photo like the one fivex84 posted above or anything else showing a black guy and a confederate flag in the same image like this:

Lil%20Jon%20%26%20The%20East%20Side%20Bo

You're on the effing Internet. Put your thinking cap on. Research. Find something with substance such as images of the son's of the confederacy conducting a coat drive for underprivileged minorities, or the White Knights hosting a pep rally and bon fire (see what I did there) for some inner city school.

Here's the tool that your need to use in order to win: http://www.google.com

GO!
