why does the south and truckers still fly the confederate flag?

Unfair taxes, states rights, and the feeling that the south was not represented well in the US government was the MAIN reasons for the war, but slavery also played a part.
I am from Kentucky about 30 minutes from the school that got all the press for having a rebel flag and mascot, Allen Central, that got all the press in the winter...

They/we fly the flag for pride........

I have SEVERAL black friends who wear rebel flag caps/shirts......

There was no income tax (tariffs were shared by all states), we already discussed the state's rights aspect, and lets not forget that most of the presidents prior to the Civil War were from what region - oh yes, the South. Most of the military officers, and of course a significant number of representatives and Senators in Congress were from the South. So, how exactly were they being mistreated?

Aperantly he is stating it from the point of view of someone who lives where he does.
I agree that what he said may have been stereotypical. You'd have to live where we do though. On countless occasions I have seen rebel flag flyin rednecks yell out "fuck those n*ggers" on countless occasions. And no they weren't using it in a slag or friendly way.

You shouldnt be so callus with your assumptions flip //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

And I'm sure that step your game up was slang. Which people do use from time to time.
I am sure that happens. Unfortunately, there are always some bad apples to make the whole group look bad. You wouldn't know anything about that though would you? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Most of that tirade was because I wanted to rant about something. It had more to do with me not being laid and I felt it was an easy target.

Yes, I am rather callus sometimes. I try to take a purely objective approach.

goodlooks=thank you (thats for u Flipx99) since u speak proper english all the time //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
If you search my posts, you would find my command of the English language is quite precise. Without the occasional typo, all of my posts are rather clear and coherent without consulting the urban dictionary.

'not in a condescending tone, but more of a question'

goodlooks is 8 characters in length

thank you is 9 characters in length.

One is very clear to a greater majority of Americans, thus more effective communication. Goodlooks is not as clear to the same majority. Why would you choose to use words that are less effective (albiet more effecient,as it is one character less)? We have IM at work (more like an intranet IM) and when people use abbreviations and internet lingo, I refuse to answer. Is it that hard to use proper grammar? This wasn't target specifically at you however. I explained my purpose for the 'rant' in the post above. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

to me the rebel flag is a loser's last grasp of identity. they lost, they know it, but are still proud of themselves anyways. that is the definition of LOSER. As a LOYAL American I find it stupid, hateful, and retarded. But most of the rebel flag owners/displayers are after that exact reaction as they stand on their porches shirtless and beer guts soaking up the rays...
yes ive lived in the south... very ugly people...
I am not sure where in the South you lived, but would it be fair if I made such a baseless comment about those living on the West Coast? Believe it or not, not all people with America share your views on how America should work. As a southerner, I find your comments to be in very poor taste. Your use of blanket statements which imply hate against those that (supposedly) hate America seems rather contradictory.
