Yes, I would be the first to fly a peace, united human race flag, were one ever to exist. What I am saying is why is it ok for jewish people to be offended by the use of the swastika and for everyone to get why the people who use it are racist? But oh no the confederate flag should be respected. It's all an assumption like the one regarding the American Flag, the Gay Pride Flag, the Confederate Flag. We assume therefore it must be All just material - it's how 'we individually' define then and place value on them that makes us stay stagnant and incapable of moving on and upward. jmo Good for you that you are so unconcerned with the reality of today, but until the people that worship that symbol give it up I will be there to call them racist. For my ancestors were victimized by them and SHOULD BE RESPECTED not that symbol How are you respecting their memories, by instigating and continually perpetrating negativity? Dont misunderstand I live and am an active member of the real world. I worship no one, and certainly not a piece of fabric. Because I refuse to let them created a fiction of what their ancestors did and so make it alright! How can you justify you family as being noble to fight for "states rights" while they were with- holding basic human rights of others. How can you not get how disgusting and loathesome that is? how do you know they held slaves very few southerners held slaves and even lower percentage of confederate soldiers had slaves you are right, they were and still are po white trash and that is why they are so hateful, they have nothing to show for themselves despite the fact they are white Oh yeah, 95% of the population in Mississippi was Black at the end of the civil war wonder what it is now Y'all can have your south. your line ---- they were and still are po white trash and that is why they are so hateful--- now who is the one being racist and hateful interesting very interesting

How can you justify you family as being noble to fight for "states rights" while they were with- holding basic human rights of others. How can you not get how disgusting and loathesome that is? misread your post the first time - had to reread -your definition of honoring your ancestors and mine are quite different (no surprise there ) I honor my ancestors by making sure to keep their memories alive and fresh. Not by sharing, instilling or teaching hatred or dislike. But I am open to the stories of others, I am willing to learn, research, find out, I respect the stories of others, however, I am not swayed by most stories. The only things that can affect us are those we allow I an not the one teaching hatred, they are by insisting on glorifying a past that they should be, hell all americans should be ashamed of. read my last sentence - The only things that can affect you/us are those we allow. If you/we do not allow others to dictate how we feel, they have no power no power = no control no control = no hatred (I hope) should equal = peace, love and unity united as one people -- hell never know maybe in my lifetime

No, not all white southerners are not racist, I lived in Russellville, Ar. and only about 50% of them were.

No one dictates how I feel, because I am right, I do not turn the other cheek on people like that because it is time for them to be brought down. It is time for a spade to be called a spade, no pun intended. You can lead the peace parties all you want. I want the symbol that my grandchildren only see in a history book.

it is hard to overcome anything from the past as long as there are those that keep bringing it up and by the way virgina was a southern state and held the capitol of the confederacy

Well I'm a mutt and don't care, I probably have 6 races in me, some including, German, Cherokee, and Irish to name a few, whos gonna hate me? And who am I gonna hate. Everybody I guess. LOL, I'm just kidding. That's why I am an Amercian. Let's love everybody (except sex offenders, they shouldn't be considered human and therefore they shouldn't have human rights.).

Btw, what I meant by leaving the south to you whites is that in fact blacks did flee the south. people know when they are not welcome.

Since slavery was still around in the late 18th century would it be racist if i flew the Old flag that stood for the original thirteen colonies? Cuz i really think im gonna start flying that flag...

Why not let it stand for something just, like the fighting of corruption? Why translate the symbol into something racist and breed hate from it? Don't they call that "hatemongering"?
