Except it doesn't represent slavery at all. The American flag was flown over slave fields before the confederate flag was. History is written by the victor. The North won the war, so they get to write the history of why the Civil War was fought, saying that all Southerners were racist slave owners, yet 90% of Confederate soldiers did not own slaves, and there were some black Confederate soldiers. What is being taught to the youth of today is warped. This is not the flag of the confederate states anyway, this is the confederate battle flag that was used on the battlefield. People claim it's offensive because hate groups use it. It's time y'all had a reality check.
You can educate ignorance, but you can't fix stupid. Educate yourself so next time you don't sound like a dipshit.
I just think it's dumb. You never lived in the CSA. It's a flag of another country that doesn't exist anymore. Most people fly it more out of spite than pride. It's a symbol of a lot of things - most of them bad, most notably division.
I was born and raised in Georgia. I appreciate and respect the history of the confederacy and it's place in Georgia history. But that's history.
You know the swastika had a different meaning before it was co-opted by the Nazis, right? The stars and bars had a different meaning in the beginning, but now it stands as a symbol of hate to most people. That's all that matters, really.
But like I said, I just think it's dumb. I don't want to tell you that you shouldn't or can't fly it. Helps me spot the people I'm least likely to have a meaningful intellectual conversation with. Plus I'm a card carrying Libertarian so I'm ideologically opposed to telling you what you should or should not have hanging on your flag pole.
