: 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.

Rebel Flag, or Confederate Flag, it's still part of American history. It's not racist, it symbolizes the past, and what will never be again. If we forget that past, and we probably will; some dipshit will probably outlaw it in the name of morals or something... The KKK is what is a load of bullshit. A bunch of guys dressing up in white and running around like 6-year olds on halloween?

Yeah, that's so true. I went to AP US History in school, and the shit we've covered is so much better. Sure I have a college textbook, of which weighs about 95 lbs, but still, it's better than being fed yet another line of bullshit that my school has to offer.
Peace out, homeys.
