Confederate Flag Banning

Simple. If someone white kills someone black and poses with let's sat an merican flag. Would they want to ban it? What if a black kills a white and poses with an African flag. Will we ban Africa? All it is showing is flags kill people not rasism. So any racist defense is nul. Btw. I wish someone would fly a star wars flag so they can ban the star wars franchise

1st amendment.
Ban the Confederate flag and you're ripping up the document that the union flag stands for.
End of discussion.

Censorship is bad. Societies without censorship make it easier to tell who the idiots are.

It shouldn't be banned because 0.5% of the people waving it are deranged Klans men while the rest are harmless beer chugging, trailer dwelling farmers. Even with its eyebrow raising origins, its current symbolism wasn't used to inspire hate but celebrate a culture. If we used small anomalies committing violence as a reason to ban something we should have banned rap music, the Koran, and hockey.

The flag is supposed to be a symbol of identity. There's more to the South than just slavery.

What do you think of when you see the flag?
Classy Southern Gentleman with manners?
Wilderness everywhere?

Capt. Matt Berta, left, commander of Navy Region South East Reserve Component Command, stands next to Vice Adm. Robin Braun, Chief of Navy Reserve, as she presents a Purple Heart shadow box to the widow of Logistics Specialist 2nd Class Randall Smith and their three daughters, Thursday.
Smith sustained fatal gunshot wounds during the terrorist shootings July 16, 2015 at the Navy Operational Support Center in Chattanooga, Tenn.

Wear a Nazi flag tshirt and show it off during the debate.

Banning the Confederate flag is attempting to legislate taste. And that's not how democracies, or even representative republics (the USA), work.

>>61213632
>be for free speech
>ban use of a flag
Keep it simple.

>>61213632
If the Confederate flag is to be banned because it enslaved people and people died, then the Islamic flag of any Arab nation must also be banned and the communist flag especially should be banned.

Ask them why inanimate objects trigger them so much (flags, guns, etc.)?

>>61213632

Freedom of thought and freedom of association.

All you need is the inalienable human rights.

No one has the right to persecute any group or people for past wrongdoings. Or the hutus or tusis share collective responsibility, should they be punished? Should the mongol indentity be banned?

Don't attempt to argue about the civil war or slavery. Instead focus on whether the confederates were any more racist than the founding fathers, and his the confederates are being held to a higher standard that other historical figures don't face.

If your opponent doesn't argue it's past meaning, but argues it's present meaning, then bring up the numerous polls that show a majority of respondents do not find it offensive.

Which confederate flag? There were many. Why ban the flag? Because its offensive to some? Shouldn't that same logic cross over to a Nazi flag, soviet flag, hell just about any flag is offensive to someone. Also do we ban the flag just in public or is it a complete ban?

An issue of censorship is rarely simple. The truth is we either have free speech or we don't. Even if that means we have to tolerate options we find distasteful.

yes!
Turn the debate around on the Mudslimes. This would be epic.

You can't win this argument by doing pro-confederate flag arguments. You have to argue based on principles. Simply use freedom of expression as the basis for your argument - you can find many examples.

Though you need to specify the parameters of the debate. Is it only concerning government property? On the person's body (e.g. a tattoo)?

Though to be honest you seem stupid to me. Asking for help on 4chan suggests that...you can't put in the work required to win a debate. You should do your own thinking.

>>61213632
Offer to theoretically ban Islam. If they refuse, ask them what makes one so much worse than the other.

fuck the south sk everyday

It should be banned from state buildings. It is a rebel flag and its not normal to let losing rebels fly their flag.

Go ahead and stick them on your truck if you feel like it.

>>61217087
This is honestly your best course of action. However you cannot at all appear racist (argument gets thrown out) and you need to really work on your pathos. Feelings got us into this mess and they are the only form of communication that liberals understand. You need to out feel them and point out the lack of rationality in your opponents feelings.

For example, do it for the children, is a very common reason thrown out by manipulators.

>>61217676

People that are confident that they know how to do something don't ask for help on how to do that thing.

So we ban the confederate flag and everything that has to do with it since it offends people and some people died, right?
Okay, what's next? Now that we have apparently gotten rid of the first amendment there must be other offensive things we can ban.
Hmm...You know I think a lot of Muslims aren't comfortable around the star of david. I know, lets ban all Jews! Yes just get rid of everything Jewish, since it offends people. What else? Hmm some people don't like muslims...you know because of 9-11 and similar things... guess we'll have to ban Muslims. What else? Oh i got it, Christians are offended by gays! We can ban those...oh but gays are also offended by Christians, guess we'll just have to ban both of them. Am I missing anything else? Some people might be offended by the American flag...lets ban that too! There don't you see? We solved bigotry! hurray

>>61213632
The Civil War was mostly about States Rights. The reason people fly the Confederate Flag today is a celebration of their southern heritage and in support of States Rights, not slavery. Anyone who thinks the Civil War was mainly fought to free the slaves is an uneducated moron that just knows nothing whatsoever about history.

It has connotations with slavery because liberals hijacked the flag and used it in a fear mongering campaign in black areas, "Them whites wanna put you back in chains!! Look at that flag!"

You can't even ban the flag if you wanted to, because we have something called the 1st amendment. Banning it on government land only insults and demeans southerners and leads to a stifling of free expression. You want to see anti-government sentiment? Ban a cherished symbol of southern heritage.

The C.S.A's constitution outlawed slavery.

Why not blow the whole thing up? It's what the founding fathers did.

It always cracks me up that a lot of the same people that would bitch about government over reach, and taking away our rights would also call the Confederates traitorous scum. Face it the one time there was a real effort to stand up for Democracy, and States rights the Fed Gov cracked down brutally. Because it needed that Southern tax money.

The Confederate Flag itself also shifted meanings over time. By the later 20th century it was mostly just a symbol of Dixie. Which is why you could see it on the Dukes of Hazard Car, and it didn't trigger anyone. Leftist later decided to change it's meaning to a symbol of hate sometime around the year 2000. Many Southerners disagree, and still stubbornly fly it.

>>61221166
>Ban a cherished symbol of southern heritage.
my, and many other Americans' issue is that southern heritage is irrevocably tied to the heinous injustice of slavery, and thus the Confederate flag is too. any revisionist attempts to conceal that fact are disgraceful

>>61221296
>Why not destroy what the founding fathers created because you see fault with it?!

because that would be...treason? i have belief in what the founders created. if you take issue with a part of the system they built then try to get it changed from within. crashing the whole damn thing shows no faith in their vision and no faith in the United States

>>61221480
All American heritage is irrevocably tied to the heinous injustice of slavery. The entire nation prospered from it and the nation was founded by slave owners.

>>61221480

The United States was built on treason, and by that point the nation had already been corrupted beyond their original vision. You can't appreciate the formation of the United States without appreciating the formation of the Confederacy.

>>61221904
arguing that the founders would want their system to be completely destroyed because it got "corrupted" is complete bullshit. why would they have built that system in the first place if they had no faith in its ability to reform itself? you are basing your argument on bullshit hypothetical nonsense

>>61221843
It doesn't matter which had more slave owners. The US government still accepted the taxes of slave owners, and did so long after other nations had already abolished it.

>>61222130
Very true. As Americans, we were all complicit in slavery. However, some were more complicit than others

>>61221573
Why are you treating the founding fathers as one single entity? The Founding Fathers had no single vision, in fact they would argue what the constitution meant and their idea's for the future of the country until they all died, and even after that their families would still argue about the country.
I think the biggest injustice in this thread is you trying to say that beliefs of Thomas Jeffersons and John Adams are the same.

Not really. The whole idea they based the Republic of off was to govern with the consent of the governed. If the people rise up against their government then it is obvious they don't give their consent. Doesn't really matter what the subject of the people's ire is.

what is the benefit of California dollars feeding impoverished blacks in Chicago? is that enough to dissolve the union over? where is the line drawn?

>>61213632

It was the beginning of the attempt to eliminate any idea of rebellion from the general populace. The media (with idiots and parrots) made it into a big deal when only the smallest of minorities that no one gave a shit about cared. They just said whatever the electric kike told them to, and they kept saying it.

I'm from NC, and the flag that is considered the "confederate flag" is still pretty big here in rural areas where we don't even have niggers. They're mainly in Charlotte and Raleigh. The flag here stands for fuck the federal government.

If you're talking about an en-masse complete ban making confederate memorabilia, especially the battle flag of Northern Virginia wholesale contraband....boy, it really boggles my mind that people would do that.

Although I would certainly hope that I would not be considered a statist, a local or state government choosing to remove certain symbols doesn't seem out of line. Granted, I think it is absolutely trivial and gat-damn retarded that people get riled up about the thing. That being said, I'm not likely to be stirred up over the removal of the flag from a governmental entity.

I'm in Georgia, though. I live very close to a "confederate st", where Sherman torched the whole place to the dirt.

I've got a boner for history, and admittedly, some soft spot in my heart for rebels or perceived underdogs. I guess plenty of people do. But I also think the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia has fucking gorgeous aesthetic value. I think it looks neat.

So if someone wants to take that shit down from above my bed, they can fuck right off or get perforated.

>>61223449
how do you figure it's slipper slope?
This is a pure moral justification of an argument.

Here's an article about the flag showing up in the military post-Civil War. There's enough evidence floating around that the appeal and use of the flag isn't just for white supremacists.

Wait a second, what is wrong with living in a trailer park? I've seen some decent trailers and it's a cheap place to live that allows you to be free of debt. I mean, how much unused space do people need? I live in my family's house and whenever I go see my friends in the city or the suburbs they always have pretty big houses but hardly any of the space is used. I don't even see the point.

>>61224100
I accidentally cut off the send part of you question
>what is the benefit of California dollars feeding impoverished blacks in Chicago?
none
>is that enough to dissolve the union over?
Yes
The Union has outlived its purpose seeing how we are no longer in danger of occupation by European powers

>>61224149
Hey, man. Don't you worry. I know that trailers can be cool. Mostly I'd say the sort of thing I'm looking to get in the future would be a well-furnished doublewide in a quite rural location, with at least 4-5 acres of land. Preferably wooded.

It's just that many folks living in trailer parks do not do so out of frugality, but necessity. Poor folks are generally less hygenic, intelligent, etc. In aggregate of course; being poor doesn't make you worse. But it can be very indicative in a predictive sort of way.

But I fucking love trailers, man.

I'm a bit upset that he isn't more eloquent in his defense of balkanization of the US, or dissolution of the Union.

I don't reckon I'd get along with him IRL, but I agree with him to a large degree. I try not to frame it in a "north V south" thing; although my loyalty admittedly is much stronger towards my small region of the Southeast than to the US as a whole.

I feel that the U.S. is far too socially, economically, geographically, ethnically, and idealogically diverse to be governed by a central body with maximum efficiency. I feel that balkanization (for example, the whimsical nation of Cascadia, or an Appalachian Union) would more adequately serve the interests of their respective citizens than the current federal government.

And although I do have plenty of beef with the federal government's actions throughout history (and even some commendations to give), this isn't the reason I feel this way. It doesn't amount to FUCK DA GUBMINT for me.

We're just too damn different to be governed centrally, I feel. That, and consent is a very important and sacred concept to me. Each member of an organization or union should fully consent to membership, without coercion.

>>61225124
So what. It was a pretty good discussion. Would you rather see another how can whites even compete thread?

>>61213632
Point out that a generation ago, liberals burned the American flag to protest the Vietnam war, and they faced persecution until this act was finally protected as free speech by the courts. The fact that it offended people was precisely why it was so important to protect.

If the conservatives back then had been as unsympathetic towards freedom of expression as the liberals are being now regarding the Confederate flag, the celebrated protest movements of the 60s and 70s would have been suppressed.

Your opponent is going to strive to make it an argument about racism and feelings.

Here's how you win the argument, OP - not with facts and figures and historical data, all that shit will just get ignored by your opponent and your audience. Fight fire with fire OP.

Draw parallels between the people your opponent is agreeing with and the worst humanity has to offer. You want to tear down flags and demolish memorials? How is that different than the Taliban burning museums or blowing up artifacts? You want to rewrite the history books to oversimplify the Civil War and paint 300,000 fallen Confederate soldiers as dumb hicks fighting because they hate black people? How is that any different from people who try to deny the Holocaust?

There is ZERO historical, legal, or factual basis for the positions she's defending. The ONLY way she wins this argument is if she takes the emotional/moral high ground. Take that from her and she'll have nothing she can fall back on.

I'm at work right now, make a few shekels here and there at a motel. Also in university.

I'm actually a Psych (read: pseudoscience) junior, hoping to get a bullshit HR position out of uni to build up a small nest egg before graduate school. If the job search is as shit as I reckon it'll be, I'll be heading immediately to graduate school. Of course, assuming I keep my shit straight. I'm at KSU, btw.

That's pretty cool about the fella. I probably wouldn't go to a thing like this alone; would most likely take at least one IRL friend. Just, uh...makes me feel a bit better, you know?

As for my personal feelings, I feel that the more homogenous a society is, assuming that this homogeneity is conducive to efficiency and good moral fibre, the better that society is. So I can tend to be an ethnic separatist sort of guy.

..Not that I'd mention that in university or anywhere that isn't 4chan or internally within my close friends, lol.

I'm a bit bitter over our state flag change here in GA in the 90s or around 2000. Forget when it happened. Our shit still looks pretty dope, but it used to be fucking killer.

You based in Jo'ja too?

It was flown outside the SC state capital, pic related. It was on top of the building until a few years ago, but until 2015 it was on a memorial to the soldiers on federal land. I understand a private memorial, but it's on the land of the aggressor. There are no Nazi flags at German military memorials that I know of (although I have heard that there was a controversy where this happened once.)

>other federal symbols
The Louisiana flag has the battle jack, the Georgia flag is the same as the first Confederate but with the GA seal in the center of the star circle.

>>61227753
From the very beginning, the 13 colonies were a mix of white people, Indians, and black slaves. This is fact. America was never a "pure" all-white nation

>>61227440
Virginia is not a country, it is a part of the United States. Government buildings are just that regardless of what particular level of governance they come from.

There are no living citizens of the failure of a state that was the Confederacy.

That is because germans are cucks that dont honor their dead

No denying that. There's a reason that a lot of flags incorporate similar design. It's striking to say the least and has little noise or mess about it.

I wanted to get a psych degree for a long time but eventually settled on something else.

Yeah I hear what you're saying about ethnic homogeneity, but I tend to want a more religiously similar society than an ethnic one. I've always thought I was patriotic, and that being American means being immigrant friendly, but Christianity is what can bind everything together (even if I'm agnostic).

Also for the GA flag change, it's even more based. The flag the rebels rally 'round is the Naval Jack, this was the original confederate flag. GA is still holding a finger up to the Yanks.

>>61228231
Nice, don't know shit-all about your area or school. Good friend of mine originated from Griffin, so...there's that, I guess.

Of course, what it boils down to is that we both likely feel that we are maybe a bit more sapient than most folks, and we think we have a relatively good idea of how a society should be formed for superior efficiency and satisfaction. What we'd like is a bunch of people that think as we do!

I can surely agree with your points on religion being a very positive thing, in certain applications and situations. I've been involved in thankfully extremely genuine Christian organizations since I was very young. Although I hold very divergent beliefs from them now, I still volunteer tons and have been on mission to Mexico a few times. Naturally, I try to present the illusions to them (successfully!) that I am a model Christian. It gives them comfort and happiness, and doesn't compromise my set of ethics.

Anyway, I'll agree with you that distilled Christianity is very conducive to a properly-run society. Hell, it all ends up amounting to "don't be a fucking dick" and "help eachother out fucking cunts" when you take out the dogma added through centuries.

>>61228218
>States are sovereign entities dipshit

They SHOULD be, but you're speaking as if your ideals were being practiced.

Ever heard of the supremacy clause, bud? Federal rulings will trump state ones erry' goddamn time. Sure, I feel that any union or confederation should have full consent of the entities comprising it. But don't pretend that is the reality; very wishful thinking on your part.

When there is no codified procedure for leaving the organization, and the organization has authority that supercedes your own, how the FUCK are you sovereign, my nigga?

>>61228218
>States are sovereign entities dipshit
You're laughably wrong, or contesting over a hundred years of constitutional precedent.

States have limited sovereignty to act within their own borders and regulate themselves, but the limit is pretty fucking critical to say the least. Conduction of diplomacy, for one.

There's been lots of change over the history of the United States, but think about how most States actually even began to exist and the idea of them as sovereign nations starts to break down almost immediately; how many countries on Earth began at a specific population amount with the approval of a parliamentary body of another Government? It makes no sense for independent, sovereign nations. It makes perfect sense for territories, provinces, and states under a federal government.

>>61228806
>Ever heard of the supremacy clause, bud?

You're talking about an entity that, without really even trying hard, successfully passed a measure suspending habeus corpus for US citizens; allowing for indefinite detention without formal charge, on basis of national security.

You're talking about an entity that can LAWFULLY detain an individual for the rest of their life without a public charge.

What about the federal bureaus taking part in imminent domain against private citizens?

And you're claiming that state's rights activists actually WON and we're living in a place and time in which any U.S. state can supercede federal authority if they jolly well want to, and the feds don't blast 'em?

I don't think any reason will get to you here.

>>61229216
>Are they limited in what flags they can fly?
Way to deflect from how much of a retard you were for thinking you understood a thing about Government.

>>61226729
>it's a flag symbolically representing an insurrection against the Government
By that same argument the American flag represents insurrection against the government. The Alabama and Florida state flags represents allegiance to the Spanish empire, and the Hawaiian flag represents British subjugation.

>and therefore shouldn't be displayed in institutions of Government
It never was in the first place. The flag was displayed at a Confederate war memorial located across the street from the capital building. Similarly the war memorials and cemeteries being removed or defaced are also not government institutions.


By all means, he should prepare to argue the facts of the case as well, but let's be fucking honest here - it's a girl taking the side of the pro-censorship argument... she ain't gonna be arguing based on facts and data.

>>61229070
Come on don't exaggerate. From 1790 to 2000 the white population was always between 80-90 percent of the whole. Until quite recently it was various white mostly Western European cultures that make up the melting pot.

>>61219512
But anon, this has nothing to do with the second amendment

>>61229216

>How many members of the constitutional congress were Blacks or Indians?
my point is, they were very much a part of our society. thus, we were never a fully white Christian society; we've always been diverse. Which makes you and your ilk's resistance to immigration on the grounds of maintaining this country's white cultural heritage kind of weird and nonsensical.

>>61229694
slavery. freemen. the fact that we had to deal with the Indians so much (French and Indian war). We regularly traded with Indians (before raping and killing them). There were thousands of black slaves in the colonies for pretty much as long as the colonies had existed. you can't just say they don't count because they weren't considered citizens; they're still there

>>61229653
Yes, I'd say that the current administration has little care for the constitution.

And practically I disagree with your preferred dissolution of the union as a whole; while ideologically I likely do agree. For different reasons, I think,.

But you're claiming that the states ARE sovereign, based upon the constitution (still a faulty idea but I'll concede that to you) while you're also claiming that the federal government does not care a lick for the constitution.

You see the rub?

Claim that the states SHOULD be sovereign, that's fine. But don't claim that they ARE, on basis of a document that you say is ignored anyway.

The states ain't got a tooth in their mouth against the federal government at this time.

>>61229878
>the fact that we had to deal with the Indians so much (French and Indian war)

>there were thousands of black slaves in the colonies
Not many in the North

Not nearly at the rate they did
>they're still there
Ok and?
They didnt play a significant role

1st amendment Freedom of speech. Banning the flag is censorship of ideas, and attempting to police opinions of people.

There's more to the flag than slavery. It is the flag of a conquered people, southerners, and to them it is their history and heritage.

Be prepared to counter her arguments.

>The flag means hate.
Rebuttal: Ask for her source that the flag means hate or represents slavery. Just because it is used as a symbol by a few racists in the KKK. It means history and heritage to most of the people who fly it.

>The flag offends people
Rebuttal: Making laws to keep people from offending other people is against the Guaranteed right that we have as americans to free speech. Our free thought and opinions are guaranteed.

Yes, prepare your own arguments. But to win a debate, you have to successfully stump HER arguments. so think of every argument she can possibly come up with, and prepare a logical argument to refute it.

weren't there more blacks enslaved under the stars and stripes than under the stars and bars?
