[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is weird that it is flown anywhere outside of private residences. It was the flag of a rebellious treason in the USA. It represents an oppressive regime that sold and purchased black bodies.[/quote]

What is "rebellious treason" to you can be considered "a quest for independence" by others.

A flag is nothing but a symbol, and of course different people can perceive the same flag in different ways. The Confederate Battle Flag is no exception.[/quote]

Oh FFS, you lost.  Get over it already.[/quote]

You fool, my ancestors were not even in this country then. And, given the standards of living of AAs in the US today, and their constante whining, I am a bit confused about who really won.[/quote]

I'm confused about why a (relatively recent) immigrant would give enough of a damn about this flag to defend it.[/quote]

I don't give a damn about that flag, and I am not defending it. I do give a damn about people trying to impose their views on others, about people judging others without understanding them. (If this thread was full of people from SC attacking people from NY, I'd be "defending the North")[/quote]

What is it that we don't understand about the people of South Carolina that explains their support for flying the Confederate Battle Flag over their state capital? Keep in mind that the history of the decision to fly that flag is very well documented.

I think the true question is what political gain do liberals have by destroying Hayley and the state of SC? [/quote]

I really don't know why you have to see every single thing as part of some political game. If something is wrong, it is wrong. It doesn't matter what the political calculus is. If South Carolina were flying the ISIS flag over their capital, would you just ignore it?

Yesterday, the South Carolina and United States flags at the SC statehouse were lowered to half-mast. The Confederate flag remained at full-mast. Why? Because SC state law prohibits any modification to the flag without the legislature's approval.

So, a guy with a Confederate flag on his car drives up to the oldest black church in the South, goes in and murders 9 people during a prayer service, and that flag that he honors is the only one of the three that can't be lowered. Literally, as a result of Roof's actions, the Confederate flag flew above all other flags as the SC statehouse. You don't find anything wrong with that?

What is your excuse for putting political above decency?
