    “Its not racism its history” yeah, a history of racism.

    “It was about states rights!” Yeah, the state’s rights to own slaves.

    “It’s a part of our past” yeah, part of our past of being absolute monsters.

    “I am still proud of my heritage” I guess you need to have your ass beat into the ground AGAIN, then.

    There’s a reason the same people that fly the confederate flag fly a Trump flag. They like things that last a few years and lose

    What I find particularly interesting is that the Confederacy only existed for 4 years, meaning to run around with an Obama flag would more historically relevant than this shit.

      I also like how people do it in Northern states. I live in Indiana and I see the Stars and Bars all the time. Sometimes with the Indiana state flag. The fools don’t even know what side we were on.

        Dude, they have people flying them in Canada. I don’t think there’s much common sense in the folks who publicly display it.

          I once asked a guy why he would fly a Confederate flag in Canada and he said, “If you have to ask you wouldn’t understand.”

          I guess he was right. I don’t understand.
