[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the point in ranking atrocities? Don’t celebrate a lifestyle made possible by slavery. Don’t celebrate people who tried to exterminate others. Basically, don’t cosplay perpetrators of crimes against humanity.

Attempting to drive a wedge between different populations that have been brutally victimized and oppressed is shameful. Stop it.[/quote]

The point is to make it clear that celebrating the South is every bit as offensive as celebrating Nazi Germany. That's not really a notion that's sunk in. And I think it's because people somehow think the Nazis were worse than the slavers. [/quote]
You have not made that point clear at all.  And in your failure to do so, you have offended other people, which calls into question your own ability to decide what is or isn't offensive.

There are better defensive of your position that don't involve such invidious comparisons.  They were made on this very thread.  Go back and read them. Please.  [/quote]
