Words have meaning. Just because you don't understand the meaning of words mean that there is an argument. English speakers are in agreement. You're just wrong. Get over it.
In math class when the teacher asked you what 2+2 was and you answered zebra and then the teacher, said nope 2+2 = 4 it was the same sort of situation. You're emotional ramblings had nothing to do with reality. They don't align with the rules of the language.
Yet wasn't proven wrong because math isn't remotely comparable. Cutest thing that you try to call me stupid without an idea of my background. No need to brag because anyone can claim anything.
Claiming the confederate flag is racist is like claiming the American flag is racist or sexist because there has been racism and sexism during the history of America, which of course would be stupid.
Of course there was racism historically in the South, but there were a hell of a lot of other important and positive things that happened on the South that people can and should be proud of. The flag represents those things too.
The meaning of the Battle Jack Of Northern Virginia is more complex than racial bigotry. I won't try to educate you because your mind is already closed.
Who cares what people say is "racist" anymore? It's a meaningless word the left throws at anyone they don't like. It literally just means "someone who doesn't agree with our goals and viewpoints."
Too long didn't read really meant "Makes too much sense and was correct, I didn't want to attempt to argue against something that is right so I'll blame the entire left side of politics"
@Gidge "how not to get a girlfriend" is completely irrelevant and just a stupid claim. And you got nothing more than personal attacks. Do society a favor and don't reproduce.
The flag displayed was never an official flag of the Confederacy. It was a battle flag of some Army units, most notable was General Lee's Army of North Virginia.
Battle flag or not, it’s a confederate flag made and used by the confederacy. Go to a museum and know the similarities because a shitty confederate statue can’t.
What you have there is not the Confederate flag. That's the flag of the Army of Northern Virginia, which was a battle flag used during your Civil War. You clearly haven't a clue what the hell you're talking about.
@Daniela1982 I can't link because my Xper isn't high enough, but the real Confederate flag has what you see above in the top left-hand corner and it isn't rectangular, but square, and the rest of the flag is white with a red bar on the right.
Re-read slowly through my original post. You told me I have no idea what I'n talking about and post exactly what I said, about it being a virginia battle flag and not an official Confederate flag.
If that’s what you believe then try dressing like a Nazi and waive a Nazi flag in a Jewish church and see where that gets you because that’s just wearing clothes and waiving a piece of cloth, right?
@snowboarder720 This kind of Nazi ado and this kind of Jewish response is from the past as well :D To manage one's history, one must get over it. I think that some people -and again: mainly from the U. S.- put too much emphasis into symbolism. To feel itchy about these little things that no longer concern us personally, could be labelled ''ignorant'' as well. We do need to be aware about the 'danger' in certain people's mindset; but not so much about their decorations.
@andreasderjuengere there’s a difference between being aware of the past and history and just holding ignorant comments of “decorations” and “just a piece of cloth”. Using those words to describe something that very much has meaning really tells how much you use history and items that hold historical context and not being aware of how problematic it can be. I’ll leave my final comment for you at that.
@snowboarder720 You like the term 'ignorant', don't you :) If anyone who disagrees with 'me' is 'ignorant', that would make the world quite stupid. Luckily: we have YOU to guide us. As you announced your final comment in this, I'll rest the case as well. Although there's still much to say.
Definitely a racists flag. Similar to the gay rainbow flag. Racism uses the "Confederate flag" which actually is not the flag the confederacy used.

The only reason you people think it's racist because this flag dates back around the time the black people were slaves, like seriously, the world we live in is filled with sensitive snow flakes nowadays. 🤦♂️
So did the stars and stripes but we don't call that racist. Confederate flag is still used by bigots and racists to this day. And they use "snowflake" to try to excuse their ignorance.

You should learn English...
Racism: The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
Flags don't have beliefs. They don't even have brains.
So arguing over terminology is your go to

Emotional ramblings. This guy smh. You understand the meaning of the message, so suck my dick.
So you were proven wrong and your response to that is to try gay flirtation next? Is that what you did with your math teacher to pass his class?
Did he give you an A for Anal?

Keep patting yourself on the back for being a moron fag. It doesn't change your position.

It didn't "make too much sense," it's just cringe. This is not how to get a girlfriend.
It's not correct it's fake and dumb like you.
@Gidge nice
@Gidge "how not to get a girlfriend" is completely irrelevant and just a stupid claim. And you got nothing more than personal attacks. Do society a favor and don't reproduce.
Lmaoo you attack her for using personal attacks then immediately personal attack. Sounds like you got nothing.

How are they different looking?

Actually, we both made mistakes. It was actually the flag of the Army of Tennessee.
I just learned that there are people who think the slave flag ISN'T racist..
Wow!!
I can't fathom.
More importantly the Question is, Does a black man have the right to become violent when someone uses this flag?
Who cares. It's just a piece of cloth from the past.
If that’s what you believe then try dressing like a Nazi and waive a Nazi flag in a Jewish church and see where that gets you because that’s just wearing clothes and waiving a piece of cloth, right?
@snowboarder720 Yeah dude made a really ignorant comment.

That isn't the flag of the CSA. This is the actual stars and bars:
There's been multiple flags and the one above is one of them, just like the one you posted too.
You know what's crazy? I've met more black people flying a Confederate Flag than I have white people. I agree with you though; it's racist.
Why do we even have it anymore? It only represents a dead country that did a lot of bad shit.
Blah blah blah “I’m a big Lefty and Republicans are racist and bad!” 🙄
Real original thought there.
Actually not a left or right. More center. Taking everything as an attack on your political party, real original thought there.
Lefties never believe that they are Lefties. They always think they are moderates.

Actually the Confederacy did have a flag, just not that one.
Did they? I mean hey if I'm wrong I'm wrong. Only way to learn. But show me what it is.
en.wikipedia.org/.../Flags_of_the_Confederate_States_of_America
People need to get educated on history. if the don't think it's racist, they're ignorant as fuck.
I have a confederate flag in my room and it kicks ass.
I disagree, long live Dixie and may the south rise again
You wouldn’t be saying that on the streets hahaha
@snowboarder720 Maybe at a KKK rally
