I do not expect you to understand. You are a pimply face high school kid with a very low IQ. You personally acknowledged that you associate the flag with race when you whined about Black History Month in the same breath as mentioning it.
Bigbowtie = racist.

You could talk about how people naturally segregate themselves every day, so why should we place such a big emphasis on racism.

i agree. while i was in the army i was stationed down at ft polk, louisiana. because of complaints about flags, bumper stickers, etc.... our commander told anyone who had them they had to come out or they would face UCMJ for displaying racist items. including a very good friends from SC who was black. he refused to take the rebel flag out of his truck and in turn he was given restriction to post and extra duty for 15 days.
hell if a black man who is proud of the south wants to fly the flag why shouldnt he be able to along with anyone else.

on another note the symbol that is most commonly used with Black Panthers the fist. there were a lot of those on windows of cars etc.... i dont take offense to them its a part of history that shows pride for blacks. point is they were not told to remove them. i know there were plenty of people who didnt like seeing them especially when they were told you cant fly your flag.

I would think that white people are not particularly disturbed by a black panther symbol because the black panthers never had a signicant impact. Slavery, on the other hand, defined the very existence of generations of black people and the vestiges of that system exist, to some degree, even today.

No, bigbowtie = Chevrolet.

So morningwood, your saying all the real rebels don't show they're flags because they don't want to be misrepresented?

you didnt have to do anything leave it alone on the slavery seriously andd i never said i was a klansman and dont ever plan to be so dont be racist yourself

I disagree. I think that it is useful to point out what type of people hold those beliefs. For example, anyone who sees the type of toothless tash that comprises the Klan today simply has to be inclined to disregard their views as ignorant. It's the same with this kid whose most signicant goal for the future is to put duct tape on his truck.

So what about you being black and other people who have committed crimes being black?

Since they committed crimes and are black I should think of you as criminal because you're black aswell? Wouldn't I immediately be called racist for that? I mean I know my example isn't the best, but I think it gets the point across.

I think you need to worry less about that flag and more about your education. If you honestly do not see why black people can be offended by the flag then you have just not studied American history well enough. Either that or you just have not given it enough thought.

So we are all held accountable for the past?

There was a speaker who came around last year speaking on the topic. I didn't attend because I was probably getting drunk or stoned, but it sounded pretty interesting nonetheless.

its not that whites are disturbed by the symbol.

its more that the symbol can be considered being reverse racisim. personally i dont give 2 s hits either way. i was raised in probably one of the most racist areas and where i live now is horrible. i dont have the same views that most everyone else in that area has.

everyone is racist in some way. if they deny it they are f ucking lying to themselves.

there is a HUGE difference between "blacks" and so called "ni**ers" to me the term has lost any and all racist meaning since it is used in every day language. my black friends call me a honky or a cracker cause im white and a country boy i in tern call them "ni**er" we both know we dont mean s hit by it.

on the other hand a black man/woman who is a good person hard working and doesnt expect the world to bend over for them because of history is exactly that. a black man or woman.

a "ni**er" is a person who is a drain on society and just causes racisim to stay alive. it will never die either way it will always be shown in one way or another.

the same goes for white men/women. there is plenty of "white trash"

Sorry, but I am not going to waste my time trying to decipher your posts.

Yes, but I think that most people like that ultimately understand that it is genuinely offensive to a lot of people and it sends a message that they do not intend to convey. As a result, they refrain from publicly displaying the flag.

You think that, but are you sure about it? We don't really have any facts on reasons people fly their flags do we?
