what does it represent ?
its part of our history, its not racist because that is not what the C I V I L W A R was about at all {it was taxes not slavery, in fact northern slaves where not freed until 2 years after the war etc etc, but that's another thread}
why is it racist today?
only because certain groups, insignificant groups at that, they have used the flag wrongfully as their motto or insignia , so in this PC world of ignorance it has become b@st@rdized and desecrated into something it is not and out of ignorance and arrogance the flag has become a symbol of defeat , liberals and idiots of all races believe by removing this flag it will remove racism and identify those that cling to racism, it will no further end racism as those that believed electing a black president would erase racism in this country
a few things I have said many times still hold true to me
I don't care what race you are as long as you don't care what race you are
those that are most often fixated on race are the most racist

I don't particularly give an airborne rodent's rectum what anybody else thinks about any of it. They may scream epithets and hang labels until their buttocks fall off and it will not change a thing.
Having lived in the South for my entire life (so far), I've been pummeled by the idiotic antics of blacks hundreds of times. Fighting with racist feelings has been a cross I've born my entire life (so far), and the few pleasant interactions I've had with black folks who simply want to get along, work their job, raise their kids, and live their lives as decent human beings have served to enrich my opinions quite a bit.
Pop used to say "shut up and color." I agree.
represent a southern state, should they to fall to the ignorance of giving in to liberal demands. If they take the flag, get a General Lee
car horn and do "Dixie" drive by honkings until they repent!
If that idiot was driving a Mustang, would FoMoCo be responsible for supporting racism?
Can the world get any more stupid?
I guess flies cause garbage.

depends on if the marines where white [V]
During this time, the NAACP and other black radical groups were right in the middle of this mix pushing hard to demonize all things southern since segregation was still being practiced in the South. This is when a new kind of Klan was evolving with their members wearing Nazi uniforms and also carrying the Nazi flag and the Confederate Battle Flag during their demonstrations. This played right into the hands of the powerful anti-traditional American agenda and supported the growth of the socialist problems that plague this country today, which now includes demonizing Old Glory as well in their push for more wealth redistribution, especially of the slave reparations kind for them.
{it was taxes not slavery,since the South had a trade surplus with the rest of the world and the North had a trade deficit with the rest of the world, can it just be that any other issues such as taxes that the South raised were just contrived to help it break away to form its own slave owning, money earning nation?

Thank you and well put. I am going to steal this next time I get into an argument with one of these black or white liberals. Thanks again and you taught me a little [;)] Oakie
