I know that the Confederate Flag itself doesn't stand for racism, but to most of the people that fly it these days, it does stand for just that. And, dude, i'm in Kentucky. I went to HS with these kinds of people, and believe me, they are all about the hate. there are a couple of stupid fucks driving around my city with bumper stickers that have "condfederate flags" that say "don't blame me, i voted for Jefferson Davis" and, dude, that's even funny. I thought that dinosaurs were supposed to be extinct, but I guess there are still a few crocodiles around.
: These people are losers and morons, but stupidity shouldn't be outlawed - if it were you'd see half of this board in jail.
: Thanks for calling it the "Confederate Flag," though. I get so sick of hearing people call it the Rebel Flag. Anyway, my reason for posting is to let you know that the Confederate Flag doesn't stand for racism. Blacks faught for the South during the War Between the States - the CSS Shanindoa (spelling?) had something like 1500 Confederate soldiers on it, and only 400 or so were whites. Just because the KKK and a few other redneck assfucks use it to mean something doesn't mean that it is that. The KKK also uses the Christian Flag, and the American Flag - I don't think either one of them are racist.
: I've done a lot of reading - a lot of what you read in History books is either twisted or bullshit ... and don't even get me started on Ol' Abe.
