  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

My neighbor has a confederate flag.

in fairness, Lincoln was a racist and slavery only one of a myriad of reasons for the war.

slave owners were a minority in the southern states since only the wealthy owned slaves...

The DOMINANT minority of the wealthy, who, then as now, controlled who went to Congress.
 
Does your neighbor have teeth in his mouth?
and does he drive a ford bronco or any type of pick-up truck?

If so, approach with caution. I've seen these types on
the Discovery Channel. They can be a unsavory bunch
when they're out of their native environment. Don't feed them, and Don't pet them, they could have rabies!!

Now If I made these comments.. I'd be getting ripped on

slave owners were a minority in the southern states since only the wealthy owned slaves... with or without the war, the industrial revolution probably would have done away with most slavery anyways by replacing slaves with machines.

Doesn't matter... the nation should have ended slavery as soon as possible... less minutes, days, years, and decades to go by of pure dis-respect and torture..

When you say slavery would have been gone eventually... thats totally ignorant that would have allowed more unnecessary cruelty to continue in this nation for an extended period.
 
Imagine what we think when we see them in Bumfuck, Ontario.
 
My co-worker has one tattooed on his bicep. I think it's funny, because he keeps complaining that nobody understands it.



If the South would've won, we'da had it made!

I'm from South Carolina. What amazes me is: most of the folks who fly that flag think it's THE confederate flag. It's really the confederate battle flag. The real confederate flag is very similar to the US flag. In the battlefield they couldn't tell who they were shooting at, so they made up a battle flag.

Just try telling that to some of the rednecks down here. It just baffles me...how can you display something when you have NO idea of it's history?

I would post pictures of the 2 flags, but I don't want to have anything to do with either of them. It would mean a google search. Afterwards I might have to poke my eyes out.
 
Well our rebellion about state's rights was mostly to do with the enslavement of people that we kidnapped, brought over, beat, raped, and murdered for a good long while. I'm all for a little rebelling...but I think would could find a better example if that's all it was about.

Yeah, seriously. That flag stands for states rights... TO OWN SLAVES. Fucking racists.

Here's the one flying over Interstate 75 about 60 miles north of me...

It's *huge*, and unfortunately it's what many tourists see as their first impression of south Florida.

People sue to keep it flying, others sue to take it down...

The *real* meaning of the flag is kind of two-folded. The "good ol' boys" will tell you it's a symbol of freedom and the south is going to rise again and all that crap...

But, the actual meaning is, "No blacks and no gays are welcomed round these parts...." Oh, and also "Shit ! Dare's a blackie in the White House !"

Not to be awkward and pedantic, but can someone explain to me what a confederate flag is? !oops!

Here it is Chicken..

It was the battle flag for the Confederate States of America,or the southern states that rebelled against the United States and broke away from the Union.They started our Civil War.Some 4 years and 600,000 thousand lives later(the highest number of casulaties in ANY war the U.S has ever fought in.) they were defeated and the southern U.S. lay in ruins.After their defeat and surrender,they were brought back under the authority of the Federal Government and rejoined the United States.

I believe the U.S. government should have taken an approach much like postwar Germany,and outlawed all Confederate flags,except for the purposes of displaying in museums.Fly a Swastika in Berlin and see if your ass don't locked up..

Here in the U.S. since the end of the Civil War, it has been used almost exclusively by racists and other hatemongers.It is a staple at Klan rallies and skinhead/nazi rallies..

Yet,we are told that it it stands for ''heritage ,not hate.'' I say their full of shit.It's always stood for hatred since it's creation.

Awesome. Now everyone knows who the racist or dumb ass to avoid lives. Representing the Confederate flag speaks for itself, no need to even question why they have one.

I'd see a lot of them on semi trucks when I drove truck.Years of driving truck and being surrounded by redneck filth have shot to shit any argument about ''heritage''..The whole heritage of that flag has been one of hatred,murder and enslavement.What's there to celebrate?

The only thing redeeming thing I could find when I see one displayed is that I automatically now they are a scumbag.I don't even need to waste my breath on them..

Folks who fly the rebel flag are usually not flying it because they are racist ass-holes. It stands for things like states rights and the rights of individuals.

Umm,yes they are. You can live in the land of make believe, but most people in the reality based community aren't buying that load of shit..

with or without the war, the industrial revolution probably would have done away with most slavery anyways by replacing slaves with machines.

Or replace them with share croppers.The next best thing to slavery..
 
I have no idea what the flyers of Confederate flags mean to say, but I can tell you exactly how I interpret it:

They're still fighting the Civil War.

To me, flying a Confederate flag is a few steps short of treason. I'll defend their right to exercise free speech and fly it, but I will (and do) vigorously oppose the values the Confederate South represented.
 
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice...BEETLEJUICE!! lol

But yeah, kansas is worse. Every guy drives a red pickup truck and always zooms past you no matter how fast you're going. I was going 63 at a 50 mph road and some dude zoomed past me. Anyway, just ignore it, it's thier hate, not yours
 
well.....i own a Confederate flag and drive a ford bronce 1993 5.8 liter engine and the thing is i am not the slightest bit racist. the reason i have it is because i see it representing my ancestors gave their lives for what they believe in and the civil war was the deadliest war US has ever been in because it was a total loss for both sides in lives

just because there are skewed thoughts and preconceived notions of things doesn't mean they are what everyone else thinks they are. from reading this it sounds like a conservative republican is saying about gays rights just we are talking about the flag instead.... but don't take me to seriously i am only a newbie

If you fly a swastika flag and say that to you it just means your German ancestors who gave their lives for what they believe in, people will think you're a racist. And they will be right.

Your ancestors gave their lives for the right to own slaves. They were wrong.

Symbols don't mean what you mean by them when you display them. Their meaning is the impression they create in the minds of people who see them.

If you are not a racist, don't fly or display the Confederate Flag. You wouldn't go around saying "I'm a racist" if you're not racist, and that's what flying the Confederate Flag is saying, whether you like it or not.
 
>>>Is he an idiot in other ways as well?

When he found out I was gay, he stopped talking to me for over a month. I didn't actually notice until somebody pointed it out. I finally cornered him and said "You really won't talk to me because I'm gay?" He mumbled, "I just don't want you checking my ass out all the time." To which I said, half-smiling, "Ugh - I think I'd rather go straight." And then he got offended at THAT. It was odd having the homophobe pissed because I didn't think he was hot enough. :)

To be completely fair, there IS a message that confederate flag owners and displayers want to get across.

It's not "I'm racist".
It's not "states rights".
It's not "pride in my area's history".

It's "fuck you".

I have one....I just keep it in private..I like the way it looks for some reason...has a tad bit more flavor than the current US flag...

Who the fuck let anyone with LOVEWILL back in the yard?

LOL I'm glad you pissed off that loser at work! Serves the bastard right.

And yeah, 'fuck you' is the message they intend, but the message that's actually received is 'I'm a racist loser asshole'.
 
Some people just enjoy the shock value of something controversial.

Some people are ignorant of either the meaning of their symbol (either historic or current)

Maybe it has some sentimental meaning. "My grandpa used to have that flag, and after he died, i just thought it reminded me of him."

If either of these are the case, you trying to retaliate with your own flag would be meaningless. It would just aggregate other neighbors who would then be talking about their two "unusual" neighbors.

If it is someone who is racist to the core, then what are you going to accomplish? They'll just assume that you are the ignorant one.

Have you ever met this neighbor? Do you have any impression other than the flag? If it is for the shock value, then it might just be a passing phase - ESPECIALLY if no one notices or comments. If it is someone that you've met and can carry on a conversation, then i would ask "Hey what's up with the flag?" then just listen to what they have to say. You can always decide what to do after that.
