The Confederate Flag

[The Knife's Husbando]

Pictures from the Confederate Flag support rally in Montgomery, Alabama today. Fellow kiwis, I'm as human as the rest of you, and while it's very hard sometimes- I always try to correct my mistakes in my political viewpoints. I'm sorry. I had NO IDEA there were so many Black people that supported this!

JESUS! Look at all the black people!

Man, African-American folks everywhere!

You can't wave a flag without hitting a person of color!

ALL RACES WERE THERE TO SUPPORT SOUTHERN HERITAGE! White people, Caucasians, Whities, Crackers....

Dude, It's like a fucking Ice-T concert, so many Black folks up in this event!

Oh. Wait. I actually found one.

Someone just went up and took the fucking thing down.

And got arrested of course. I'd like to see them prosecute that to the end. Charge is "defacing a monument," which might not even accurately describe what was done.

They haven't replaced it, though.

A woman getting arrested for taking down a flag that defenders call the ultimate symbol against rebellion against a tyrannical government.

Are you aware the focal point of the first photo has a black guy waving a HUGE confederate flag?

I saw a confederate flag "heritage not hate" vanity plate and no less than 3 oddly placed stickers on a car near my house. This is literally less than 6 miles from where the Charleston shooting took place, and they weren't on the car a couple weeks ago. Since they like flags so much, maybe I should add a few more.

I think it's most appropriate to say... DO IT FAGGOT

...And she was the only person in the right that day, IMHO.

And with that - GAME OVER

The confederate flag looks kinda queer to me.

Especially in my avatar.

We should make an online petition to reclaim it as the Tranny Flag.

Heh, damnit, based on the title, I thought that was just a cover of the Lynyrd Skynyrd song.

Thanks, Charlie Daniels. You've shown me how lynching is a proud southern tradition.

Since I never mind being the one to go for low hanging fruit, anyone else notice that the obvious LIBRELS, you know, the ones holding the American flag, are all somewhat fit and in shape and yet the confederate flag supportin' proud suthners are a sea of obese white trash?

That dude's tan, not black.

I saw plenty of people in decent (not great) shape rallying for the Confederate flag. I think it's far more telling how few young people were present.

I didn't post all the pics, they were like 25+. But there were kids there, and they were clueless, and it was very sad.

As I said earlier. You're not responsible for the sins of your fathers, you are responsible for the sins of your children. No one is born racist. It's a learned trait.

Yeah there's really no comparison, in content or musical quality, between the two "Simple Man" songs. I don't even know why Daniels thought it would be a good idea to name his song that, except that he's an idiot in general.

Yeah. This is why when I see adults dressing in Klan robes I just roll my eyes, but when they dress kids in them I get pissed off.

On a personal level, I don't give a shit about the Confederate battle flag, it's just a piece of cloth. Sure, it represents something, but that's why flags exist. Apart from that, I don't understand what the big deal is about people revering the symbol of a failed country that's been defunct for about 150 years, but that's just me.

As far as the flag on the SC Capitol goes, it's a naval jack. What is the flag of a defunct country's armed forces doing on the civil government building of a state in the first place? Just put it in a museum or something at this point. I dunno.

And above all else, this flag debate is a distraction from things that actually will bring about real, positive change. But hey, if it feels good, I don't blame anyone.

I was watching this documentary on the KKK on The History Channel, and at they filmed a Klan meeting. The Grand High Wizard Lord or whatever the fuck his title was brought out an infant, couldn't have been more than a few weeks old, if that -- wearing a full Klan outfit. The hood even had a mask on. After everything in the program -- racial slurs, violence, lynchings, church burnings, etc. -- somehow, that disturbed me the most.
