I do not get the history element to about the Confederate flag. Besides it being a good looking flag. I had family members that fought in the war but it does nothing for me to fly it. A large part of our society rightfully sees it as representation of slavery and segregation; how is it possible to move past it when some what to relive it?

Maybe i just associate it with ignorance now because the only people i see flying it still are white trash as frick.

It's a god damn shame what has happened to that flag. That flag will always stand for courage and honor to me.

Good. It's not pc bs, in reality, it's an unnecessary symbol of bigotry.

From your link

banned flags from flying on campus, but Principal Shelby Ainsworth said clothing featuring the flag will still be allowed at games, as will flags that aren’t mounted on poles.


How incredibly PC of them.

FWIW I would have no problem with them banning it completely.

You shouldn't let inconsequential things such as a flag bother you so much.

You seem a little butthurt.

What a surprise.

What other offensive symbols should be banned in your world?

Is this always your outlook on flags? Do you react similarly when, say, someone burns the American flag in a protest?

Just curious if you have a double standard and deem your sensitivities more appropriate than others.

Pretty much.

Not at all. I want to count punch flag burners.

Yes, mine are much more appropriate.

I've never flown a confederate flag but a black panther member could fly his black panther flag across the street and it wouldn't phase me. I'd have a nicer yard.

Sorta my point.
People should worry about themselves more and others less.
