[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody here is denying slavery existed - I simply argued it would have naturally ended without the war of northern aggression.[/quote]

If slavery was going to die out then secession was pointless. [/quote]

You folks seem to want the flag to be some kind of nazi symbol.  Do you really believe that folks with the flag are fantasizing about capturing African Americans and enslaving them?  [b]Why is it so hard for you to understand that for most people the flag isn't about[/b] slavery today or [b]slavery nostalgia?[/b]  Slavery was a disaster for the south.[/quote]

Bull. That's [i]precisely[/i] what the flag is about. A yearning for a simpler time when men were men and women were women and blacks knew their place, and for those who didn't, there was terrible, holy hell to pay. [/quote]

While I would never fly the stars and bars, nor any of the official Confederate flags, your pronouncement of what the flag is about in the hearts and minds of everyone who might, is BS. Is what you laid out true for some? Absolutely. Should it be seen as a flag associated with slavery? Absolutely. Do some see it as something different? Absolutely. Why is it so hard to understand that your premise is too inclusive and even prejudicial?[/quote]
