Many a southern BLACK person flys the confederate flag. Are they racist against themselves?
Nope. Just ignorant. Or stupid. Take your pick, because it's one or the other.

Butch, I agree with the fact racism is in no way a good thing. Hating someone for the flag they fly is in the same league as hating someone for their skin color. In a perfect world we would get to know one another before having any prefixed feelings towards them. The fact is this will never be the case and by fighting hate with hate makes you part of the problem.

OK, Confederate flaggers, answer me this:
If you don't live in the South...don't have any relatives who live there, either...no relatives who had anything to do with the Civil War, whatsoever...
Why would you choose to hang a Confederate flag on your house/car/whatever?
If you see someone who has adorned their stuff with this flag, do you assume they had some kind of connection with the South?
Or are you simply displaying this flag because you can....and f*#k anyone who doesn't like it?

Choosing to wave a flag, is the same as the skin color you're born with?
No, choosing to hate someone before you know them is. Carry on.

So you'd choose to fly a flag that represents one of the most embarrassing, destructive points in our country's history...with very little direct connection to that war....just because you can?
I bet if you looked real hard into your family tree, you'd find some distant, 7 degree distant connection to Germany...or Japan...or even Iraq....
Why not fly any of those flags, too?

i never once worried about coming round a corner and seeing two guys fornicate each other in public
They are fornicating only if they aren't married.

You are rationalizing, Ron, and you goddam well know it.
You don't have any real connection to the South...your position to fly that flag is simply and solely based on the fact that you believe you should be able to do anything you want, anytime, in any way..and if someone doesn't like it, feck 'em.

Sorry, Ron...as always, you are the biggest, easiest & most obvious target here. Your reputation precedes you!

The majority of Americans can't find Iraq on a map, does that mean Iraq doesn't actually exist?
Or maybe it means geography isn't important.
Who cares what the "majority" thinks.
Nice stats showing the more educated people become, the more negative view they take of the confederate flag.
Then again, the conversations on this thread already exemplified that point.

"I don't hate anyone, Einstein. I'd just like to pop racists in mouth. " does this mean you're going to punch Ron?
Edit, oh that's right, it's people who have flags that are racist, not Ron. You do know that this makes you as Lame as him. "We should just smile and nod. Don't do or say anything" isn't that what you're doing?

I tried to meet Ron once and see his Taxedermy work. He totally ran me off and called me all kinds of name once he found out my last name was Ricardez. He waived his Confederate flag at me and everything. It was very traumatizing to say the least. ;)

Another one to add to burcheys list: the dude I saw last year with a bumper sticker on his truck that said "don't re-nig in 2012." That was near that bastion of right wing hatred and intolerance, Fairfield kalifornia.

The Confederate Flag is all about Southern PRIDE
celebrating grits and hospitality
States' Rights!
If Alabama wants their children to not even go to Grade School, that is their Right!

rsin as always you have no idea what you're talking about, but please don't let that stop you. Oh and I know that it gets busy behind the counter at the Circle K that you work at, but try spell check sometime, otherwise you'll keep looking, stupid. By the way, someone dropped a jar of pickles on aisle 2, clean it up.
