If you think the confederate flag represents slavery, well that just shows how simple-minded & blind you are. No wonder you voted for Obama.

The confederacy was created to preserve slavery. Thus, their flag represents slavery. A few rednecks who are too stupid to realize this doesn't change history.

First of all, the Confederate flag, in some people's eyes, is a symbol of hatred towards African-Americans. This is completely incorrect. The Confederate States of was not formed because of slavery. Anyone that wanted a slave owned one. What history fails to mention is that in the South, the title was slave, but in the North, they became "indentured servants." This is merely a way to soften the cold, hard truth that the North owned slaves. The harsh treatment of slaves was incredibly wrong. However, history also will not tell you that the percentage of mistreated slaves was incredibly low. A slave, by today's standards, could cost anywhere from $100,000 to $500,000. How many people pay this much money to have something to starve and beat until dead? Actually, the real meaning behind the secession was taxes.
The North was incredibly rich due to one reason. Congress only allowed the sale of the South's main goods such as cotton and tobacco to Northern factories instead of shipping to other countries. Did the South get any of this back? Well, of course, if they could pay the added tax that the finished products had slapped on them for resale to the South. Oh, by the way, if you think that heavy taxation and no one being there to represent the taxing party is a horrible way to start the war, think about this: That's why the Revolution was started. Those brave men that began knew this. The South remembered this.
The Confederate flag is a symbol of the ultimate bravery. These men committed treason against something they knew was wrong. This happened in the Revolution, and wrote the history. If you really want to know how much this flag means to us, remember the men who died for to be free. The American flag, the flag of freedom, stands for the same things the South fought for.

You are a fucking idiot. There were as many african american slaves in the North as there were in the South.
The South created the confederacy because they were tired of the North taxing them to death & taking all their profits.
Read something other than what mommy & daddy have taught you about the big bad white man.

So not even the people who founded the confederacy knew why they founded the confederacy?
Confederate vice president:
"The new constitution has put at rest, forever, all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institution African slavery as it exists amongst us the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution. Jefferson in his forecast, had anticipated this, as the "rock upon which the old Union would split." He was right. What was conjecture with him, is now a realized fact."
"Jefferson's ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong. They rested upon the assumption of the equality of races. This was an error. ... Our new government is founded upon .. the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery — subordination to the superior race — is his natural and normal condition."
And I'm not saying that every redneck who puts the confederate flag on their car or something does it because they hate black people, it's just that they're too ignorant to recognize what it really means and the fact that they're basically proudly wearing a symbol of treason while giving a big "**** you" to this country.

It's pretty obvious from this post that you hate all people of color, including our beloved milk chocolate President.
BTW, I like your new show.
