In short, everyone is entitled to an opinion (silly constitution stuff). But why are many adamant at my right to free speech. Just as you are proud to be from California, I am proud to be from the Southern US. I am sorry that bothers you. My White, Black, and Native American friends are not butt hurt by a flag that does not affect them.
We all have equality to live and pursue our life. THE CIVIL WAR IS OVER!

Of course that's what we learned in "school", and few people have the capacity for critical thinking. Instead they want to send people to hospitals for flying a flag. Which is why the real enemies of this country will never be removed.
Same as it ever was...
Another stupid, neo-confederate fook..
Jeezus christ, learn some history. It started because places like South Carolina were scared shitless that Lincoln would free their slaves (even though he did NOT support such a thing when initially in office). So rather than wait until what they believed would be inevitible emancipation, they bailed.
And yes, that stoopid loser flag has a very dubious history. Most present-day waivers are simply ignorant rednecks who probably don't give it much thought, not worth an ass-kicking . But it was revived as a symbol in the south in the 60s to protest what they viewed as renewed federal encroachment on what they believed was their God-given right to lynch niggers.
It's a stupid, ignorant, divisive symbol. I'd like to piss on every one in existence.

Yes Q-idiot, I am happy to live in the most fortunate land ever, the land that stomped the sh#t out of the Confederacy.

Dirtbag; are you mad that we are still the same country. If you feel the south is so bad, why try and keep it?

Dirtbag- I never intended any kick on the face. Sorry for the misunderstanding. How has the Confederate flag hurt anyone? Simple question.

Posting nearly anything on the taco seems to bring out the haters and name callers... another reason that I don't often post here... it is impossible to have a civil discussion between people with different positions on ANY issue. Over simplification and slander is mostly what we get here.... sad really..."What we have here is a failure to communicate"!
No doubt. And that is unfortunate since this is a meaty and complex subject. I liked your post about it. I can also understand those who feel it is a racist symbol. The history and different perspectives are fascinating. Possibly even important.

R-sin , Are you angry about America? Or is it Black people that make you mad? Do you wish we all were the same color? I love everyone and get confused why people care about skin color.

this flag stands for independence and pride in the South.
Independence? Are you sure? Cuz it doesn't seem like they really won their independence... or anything really. How can you celebrate something you never had? Seems to me they just got a bunch of innocent poor people killed in an attempt to maintain a privileged lifestyle for a few... a lifestyle made possible ONLY through the labor of slaves. It was a failed rebellion, a failed attempt to maintain inequality, a failed attempt to continue living off the sweat of others. It is sad that so many continue to defend and broadcast the echos of their tantrum.
Nah, probably way more idealistic and pure... something to do with the founding father's vision... blah blah blah... [insert]patriotic hard-on jizz-fest.[/insert]

Q-Ball queried Slavery is illegal in America. What is your point that people are still enslaved here?
Here let me Google that for you since I know how hard it is to find information in the 21st century.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_trafficking_in_the_United_States
Human trafficking is the modern form of slavery, with illegal smuggling and trading of people, for forced labour or sexual exploitation.
In the U.S., human trafficking tends to occur around international travel-hubs with large immigrant populations, notably California and Texas. The U.S. Justice Department estimates that 17,500 people are trafficked into the country every year, but the true figure could be higher, because of the large numbers of undocumented immigrants. About 300,000 children are believed to be currently at risk from sexual exploitation.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/03/super-bowl-sex-trafficking_n_2607871.html
But please, get back to your original point about how Africans selling other Africans into slavery makes flying the Confederate flag a totally not racially insensitive thing to do.

Because in the part of the United States still governed by the US Constitution it took a Constitutional amendment, The Emancipation Proclamation committed the north to abolishing slavery but did not actually abolish it in and of itself.
