The flag itself is a cloth incapable of any thought at all-including prejudice. However it represents a nation who's economy nearly wholly relied on the slave trade and poor treatment of immigrants. The American flag represents a nation who has moved past exploiting it's own people and moved on to exploiting other nations. The USA has a pretty large amount of slave labor in the form of BS prison sentences coupled with labor in prisons so yeah..
Anyway it's shitty and not something to be proud of---all nationalism is dumb and we should probably try and realize that as a people.

The flag itself is not racist, but it is insensitive because (right or wrong) it now represents slavery as well as the CSA. Just like the term "colored," it really depends on context. Fly it at a Civil War re-enactment? Good. Fly it at a Black Lives Matter counter-protest? Probably racist.

But it's definitely a flag of treason. No American should revere or fly a flag representing people who took arms against the lawfully elected US gov't and killed hundreds of thousands of US troops and civilians just because they feared Lincoln would make them stop owning and abusing black folks.
>>
>>741559243
>>741559637

Saying flags or symbols are racist is like saying words are racist. It's an absurd premise.

The reality is that racism is an ideology, and as an ideology it is based on indisputable facts that everyone is unique and different. The reality is that people are ignoring reality because the idealism that we're all equal is such a popular lie, but it is a lie. It's a fantasy that's evident with the most basic observation of our material reality.
>>
>>741560054
most the people who fly that flag are not of high intelligence to the point of not be able to identify their own hypocrisy. They are the same people who casually will tell you how to live or run a country but HOLY SHIT if you dare suggest anything about america, "you dont even live here so keep your opinions to yourself".

im not even joking, i dont think the people who do this have the mental capacity to identify just how dumb they are

Jesus man I grew up in Alabama and at least they had the excuse that they were southern. If you fly this in Montana, 2000 miles away from confederate territory, it might as well be a swastika.

No. It is a symbol of the independence of US States. Banning that flag is a step by the empire based in Washington DC to erase the memory of the legal secession of the Southern States and Lincoln's insane and bloody civil war to drag them back into the "Union".

The american flag represents rebellion against taxation without representation.

The confederate flag at best represents "I don't wanna pay no taxes, representation or otherwise" but it also represents "I like to own black people".

it's racist because of its use during the civil rights struggle of the 50s / 60s. Nobody cares if it was used by those confederate faggots in the 1860s. The problem is that it was used by George Wallace and co. only 50/60 years ago.

The correct term for a black person has evolved over time. "Black" was considered worse then "nigger" for a while, whereas color(ed) has typically ridden somewhere in the middle.

Colored, specifically with the 'ed' is associated with the "separate but equal" doctrine which is why its got a bad rap.

>>741560681
im not defending it, but if during colonial america slaves were referred to as "people of color" and not "colored people", those terms would probably be switched today.
it's just about the association with the phrase, it's only negative. It's really have to remove a negative association with a phrase that's as widespread like that.

When words or phrases are systematically used to degrade or dehumanize people, getting those words or phrases back to a neutral connotation is pretty difficult, especially in the offended culture that exists today

You're so full of shit, it's hilarious. Listen to how idealistic you are about it. The confederate flag represents freedom and liberty, whereas the American Flag AT BEST represents "We the rich fucks want to control this country so we're going to pretend this 1% birtish tax is so brutal even though they invested everything in these colonies, we're going to revolt and kill all these young people to own this place."

>he north didnt start the war to end slavery
no one claimed it did. But the south defended slavery as a necessary evil in order to prop up their economy. Because you can bet your ass the "cash crops" were only such because labor was so incredibly cheap because of slavery. The entirety of the South's economy was being propped up by an enormous subsidy of free labor, and they refused to give that up (and rightfully so, since their economy was absolutely fucked without slavery)

It represents the idea that it is OK to enslave the inferior race that is black people.

So yes it represents the idea of racism.

You may be ok with that racism, you may think its ok to enslave blacks, but the simple truth is that that flag represents the confederacy, the Confederacy stood for slavery, slavery is racist.

"It's not about actually being southern it's about being a rebel man!"

"This way when Civil World War II (sic) the yanks will be sandwiched. Classic pincher (sic) maneuver"

"I dunno I just like it."

"Because they WON the Civil War retard!"

All real quotes from people I've met in Montana with Confederate flags flying in the bed of their truck. Almost all of them were put at ease if I said "Bet it keeps those fuckin' niggers away." and all of them laughed.

Again, this is all anecdotal from a small population in rural Montana. I was flown in to be a bean counter for a mining company. The education level is low and conservative values get passed down along with Christianity. It's just how it do.

Originally no. It was a battle and country flag of succession.
Only until around 1920 it became a symbol of racism. And in the 60s it was finally set in stone as such.

Now stop bitching and move on.

Not really, racism tends to stem from being in contact with the offending race and there simply aren't many blacks in Montana. They're just dumb.

If you can't see that it's all smoke and mirrors behind every flag, then you're either brainwashed (military) or blindly idealistic for some other reason. All the buzzwords are just feel-good shit that means nothing.

They all represent madness and death and decay and destruction, in addition to everything else.
>>
>>741561280
DID stand for slavery. DID.

And if, today, there were waving around a flag that was raised in defiance of slavery being taken away, that flag would be a symbol of racism.

It is literally like saying a Nazi flag doesn't represent hatred against Jews. Does the flag stand for other things? Absolutely. Does it also stand for antisemitism? Again, absolutely.

You may agree with antisemitism, but that doesn't mean the Nazi flag doesn't represent antisemitism.

(and yes I think it about 100 years, in europe Nazis will be seen in the same light as confederate )

A flag is not racist.
nor is a car. or a plane, or a map, or any other inanimate object.

But the ideals which that flag represents, the people that support that flag?
They are racist, and in that it is a racist _symbol_, just like a burning cross. just like a swastika painted on a synagogue, etc.

Its perhaps of interest that General Lee, whose flag that was, refused to ever wear the uniform of the Confederacy after the civil war, and ordered that the flag be never flown. On his death he was not buried in uniform, and no officers from his military time were permitted to attend in uniform. He himself stated that with the defeat of the South, that flag was a symbol of treason.

shame people nowadays dont have his integrity.

Just because the way your country goes to war means you can pretend you're at peace because your way of life doesn't change, doesn't change reality for the other people.

There's no shortage of war or suffering, and to say some bullshit like that is an indication of how isolated you are from the harsh realities of life. Things have only escalated in the past hundred years, and escalated dramatically.

World peace is coming. Those are for the most part very small parts of the world, except Russia. And Russia is a whole hell of a lot better then it was under the Stalinist or Tsarist regimes.

No. It has, in the decades following the Civil War, become a racist symbol to some but it is not in and of itself racist. Many consider it a flag of simple rebellion. But once you get a bunch of liberal victim mongers on some red meat, it will be what they say eventually.

Many slaves liked the lifestyle they had and didn't want the North to win (obviously not the movie slaves we all see). Some even voluntarily fought for the South. Also, there was plenty of hard racism in the North so they were not really "the force of good fighting against racism." They were fighting to keep the country together mostly.

Not a racist flag but might as well be.

No American Indians gave a shit about the Washington Redskins name. Seriously. They either loved it or didn't care. But now there is a concerted effort to convince them that they should be pissed about it. So in 20 years it will join the ranks of the confederate flag. Better that we all get angry over shit instead of just being chill and/or have skin thicker than paper.

Yep. I didn't say that wasn't true.

You have no idea how good the world is right now and are not looking at the trends. Those war torn areas? They get humanitarian aid. Should they get more? Yes. What would have happened 200 years ago, they would be far worse off. Most likely they would just all be dead.

I never said all the world was a paradise, fuck you for putting words in my mouth.

The warlords of today absolutely pale in comparison to those of old. In the dark ages, the political dissidents would have just ended up as heads on poles. And not just a few, all of them. A field of them. Rome, ran on slaves. World war 1 was a ~nightmare~ that the people waging war today cannot comprehend, where chemical weapons were not a rare, condemning act but actual every day problem.

You know fucking nothing of the brutality of man in the past. You accuse me of spouting blind ideology, I can just see the world realistically.

Go back to cutting yourself and writing poems about how existence is pain. The world is growing up without you.

the american revolution was a just war, fighting a war to protect slavery was not in my eyes just.

Does the higher cost of living balance out with higher wages? Or do fast food workers still make 7.25 up there? Cause the more I think about it the more I think I should GTFO of this cousinfuckery.

It's about money, dude. They want to seek reparations from major organizations like state governments, football teams, and anyone with money.

It's about money and its driven by absurdist legal counsel to liberal organizations that don't give any shits about real justice, but about making a profit off the system at anyone's expense.

No. It's a flag of freedom against the powers that would otherwise tell you what to do. Ironic isn't it.
>>
>>741564236
Only 1.5% of whites owned slaves. The rest were owned by other blacks. Who is the real jack ass of ignorance.

It's the truth though. Even if you don't like it.

Ya you like being a slave right.
>Yes massa, whatever you say massa
See, he LIKES it! Now back to work, I sold your children this morning so you have more time to pick cotton.

More blacks owned slaves over whites.

Minimum wage here is $15/hour and wages/salaries above minimum also tend to be higher. It all depends on what you're doing, of course.

It wasn't about slavery at all. That was something Lincoln added because it was already on the agenda and gave the war (Whose purpose was to retain the profitable southern states as sources of tax income) into some kind of moral war to liberate the oppressed. It's total bullshit.

The states seceded because they were faces with oppressive federal laws that impinged on their individual rights as states (granted to them by the constitution) They should have had the full legal right to secede if they chose, but they were being imposed embargoes on their British trading that was unfair.

It's literally taxation without representation, but hey, the winners get to pick what story to tell, every-time everywhere, so just wait until the next winner and see how they change history.

Dumbest thing I'll read today.

Those God damned elves. We should have killed them off before they rebelled. Oh wait, this isn't about dragon age is it...

Yes, the 1% of rich white guys have a habit of manipulating stupid racists...100% of confederate soldiers fought to continue slavery for them....so...that jackass would effectively still be you...
>>
>>741564614
It is dumb, but true.

>>741564614
It's a literal historic fact, idiot. I bet you're a nigger to be so dumb.

>>741564533
and the stupid begin to chime in.
>>
>>741564236
whatever dude. It is true. Many were properly housed and treated with respect (obviously not respectful to own a human but you get what i'm sayin) and they feared the loss of security, comfort, and food. Don't dismiss history just because you hate it.

I'm not a racist. I seriously have no problem with other races. (my dick is a little picky though)

My problem is with religions.
>>
>>741559243
the flag is racist because it told niggers to eat croissants with their tendies
>>
>>
>>741559243
Yes

>>741564660
I wasn't alive back then. That war had nothing to do with slavery. They were considered property, and the people that owned them didn't like the government telling them what to do.
>>
>>741564552
So I imagine it to some degree balances out. Alright. Fuck this. I'm leaving.

The only reason people display this flag is to troll niggers and lefties. It has no other meaning any more.

I'm gonna need a source on that one son.

I believe you just have poor reading comprehension.

Less then 1% of slaves were owned by blacks.

>>741564420
And so you argue that backing a worthless flag that most see represents racism is a valid cause when the only flag on our land you should be backing is the US FLAG....traitor

It's not my fault you're ignorant. And it's not my obligation to teach you either.

It was a flag of rebellion.

and extended slavery to all but the rich.

The only people that won was the government. They won power over all of us and turned everybody into slaves. Welcome to life.
>>
>>741564450 Technically all flags stand for freedom of oppression from those that fly other flags...and all flags represent governments that somehow oppress someone...so you are not really saying anything mindblowing

dubs of truth

I cited a well researched, peer reviewed source supporting my argument. If you choose to stamp your feet like a child that is on you. I hope mommy doesn't burn your tendies tonight.

Racism is the belief that a trailer trash will always be more clever than a harvard nigger.

It's failing the point to see that the value of a man for society is mostly shaped by his culture and education and not his skin color.
However it is a natural consequence when bad/primitive behavior is highly correlated with an easy to distinguish phenotypical characteristic.

>>741565182
But I was talking about the United States of America, not other flags. Faggot.
