I think Cit Grad's microaggressions triggered him.

But I probably won't. Too much grief if I do it.

I might see if I can find a Bonnie Blue flag though. Nobody would understand what it is so I wouldn't get any grief about it. And I do live in what was once the Republic of West Florida before the United States invaded it for no reason.

OL FU wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 6:44 am You know I struggle somewhat with this one. I grew up with a Confederate flag hanging in my bedroom. Went to southern rock concerts in my late teens and early adulthood with a confederate battle flag hanging behind the stage. To me it said "I'm southern. I proud to be Southern. I like southern music, southern food, southern literature, even southern accents. "

So from that level, I have no problem with the battle flag.

On the other hand, after I became an adult and had adult conversations with black friends and co-workers and understood the agony their family suffered with the KKK and other groups waving the flag in their face. I concluded that their arguments against the flag were stronger than arguments for it. I am very sad about the incident that promoted the removal of the flag from the SC State house grounds, but very glad it has been moved.

With that said, I still know people that have a flag somewhere, on their car or in their front yard and as far as I can tell based on the conversations I have with them, they fly it for the southern heritage reasons I stated above and they are not the people pictured in the first post. They aren't racists, although maybe somewhat insensitive.

Personally, I would prefer the flag to stay out of sight but like most issues, it isn't as easy as we would like for it to be.

I mean to be fair, you still see them in Asian households (at least around here) and it was everywhere when I visited India.

But yes, in the US and Europe public displays of the swastika are obviously a no-go.

That 'Gorillas in the Mist' thread is the worst. TMan started it right after the Charleston church shooting. Dylan Roof was inspired by sites that similarly catalog black people doing shitty things. I guess TMan was also inspired.

Anyone notice all the black posters slowly left this site one by one...

Well, except Dal. Nothing gets rid of that guy

Ain't about no hatred better raise a glass
It's a little about some rebels but it ain't about the past
Ain't about no foolish pride, Ain't about no flag
Hate's the only thing that my truck would want to drag
You think I'm dumb, maybe not too bright
You wonder how I sleep at night
Proud of the glory, stare down the shame
Duality of the southern thing

I love the South and I love Alabama. I just love it enough to recognize its flaws and shortcomings.
