Americans flags

[Anonymous]

You have terrible racists in the north and your politicians call POC, “super predators.” They call POC barrios the “urban jungle.”

Meanwhile it is a beautiful day in the south!

We are very liberal. My husband is retired Air Force. We have an enormous flag out front. The GOP does not have a monopoly on patriotism!

+1. DH and I are both veterans and liberal Democrats. We fly out American flag all the time. The GOP is NOT patriotic.

According to PP, you are a Nazi traitor.

No. I said the people who fly the Confederate flag and support MAGA are traitors. But I’m not surprised you struggle with reading comprehension; it’s a common trait amongst the dimwitted

Did the vets who carried the confederate flag into battle in ww2, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan- they were traitors in your view?

I'm for the Confederate flag always and forever. Many among the finest people this country has ever produced died in that war. To take it and call it a symbol of evil is a misrepresentation."

Too bad the schools down south didn't have a proper history curriculum. So they wouldn't have been misled into carrying that flag. But that's the Lost Cause myth for you.

The vast majority of the war was conducted in the south and I think the average southerner as a far better grasp of the war than his northern counterpart.

But maybe you can send us to re-education camps to learn to despise our ancestors like you do, your own.

DP...

When they did, they were rooting for a hostile treasonous foreign country responsible for the senseless deaths of 600,000 Americans for no good reason other than to maintain barbaric slavery as an institution. So yeah, traitors.

Plus, carrying the confederate flag into battle was nowhere near as big of a tradition as maybe you'd fancy it to be.

There are no liberals flying the American flag!

Please DCUMers if you are liberal and recently put an American flag out, take it down. The American flag does not represent anything you stand for.

Yep. We have nuts who speak of "spitting" on veterans because of their political stance. And, other nuts who "+1000000" the sentiment.
Disgusting. And, you wonder why veterans and service members overwhelmingly vote Republican. It isn't a mystery.

THIS ^^. Never I have seen such an unhinged bunch as the usual suspects on DCUM. Wow. Yet another disgusting thread.

I fly it proudly.

I challenge you to read this. These are the actual documents of a number of Southern states setting forth their reasons for secession. Go to the source. Not some fiction you learned in your history classes in high school. Read the actual documents. Then come back and tell me you are proud of what that flag stands for. https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/declaration-causes-seceding-states

Gotta love this quote from Mississippi’s secession declaration:

Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin. That we do not overstate the dangers to our institution, a reference to a few facts will sufficiently prove.

Whatcha got to say to that, Johnny Reb?

Our beautiful southern flag honors our valor on the field, courtly virtues and independence. Doesn’t have a damn thing to do with slavery, which was a horrific institution for which it seems we all keep paying the price.

The Confederate flag was LITERALLY the flag of the Confederate Army, which was fighting a war of secession against the United States so that they could keep the institution of slavery. The "independence" you refer to is the "independence" to keep owning slaves. And as far as "courtly values" go, you've obviously watched Gone With the Wind too many times and think it is fact not fiction. The Confederate flag is inextricably linked to the fight to maintain slavery, and any attempts to decouple the two take a certain kind of delusional mindset that normal people can't even wrap their minds around.

But the U.S. was founded by racist slave owning white western cis hetero males and there is no getting away from that.

Read some Nikole Hannah Jones and Ta-Nehesi Coates.

Read Slavery by Another Name and stop pretending the southern whites were sooooooo much worse.

+1. I also get a kick out of people trying to claim moral superiority because they live in a place where, over a hundred years ago, people were against slavery. I mean... what?!

Pull out a list of HBCUs and note their locations. Look at interstate migration patterns among Black people over the past 30 years. Its pretty clear that northern culture isnt exactly a draw. I mean, who looks at Connecticut or Vermont and thinks, "finally, a place where a Black man can feel truly embraced!" GTHO.
