indeed, them fancy pants elitists cant tell us strong independent folk what to do
And right on cue... you provide Exhibit A in terms of exactly what I'm talking about.
The north had slaves too. The Confederate Battle Flag was simply just that. A battle flag. Never even a national flag, therefore the myth that this flag flew over a slave nation or represented racism is a false one. Those that vilify the CBF have simply jumped on a band wagon.
The U.S. flag flew over a slave nation for 85 years. The north tolerated slavery and acknowledged it as a Division of Labor. It wasn't until the South decided to leave that the North objected to slavery. Sherman had slaves that served him until well after the war was over. The war began over state's rights.... not slavery, and not that flag.
Personally, I can see how some may view it as offensive. I'm offended by a lot things these days. Shall we all make a list and wipe out everything that anyone finds offensive? I'm in.
I can also see how someone could view the American flag as a symbol of racism, Xenocide, betrayal, and a host of other atrocities if Native American Indian, for example. And you can bet that one is next.
You see, there's a lot of people out there right now that know darn well that this drugged up nutjob didn't go into that church and senselessly murder those people because of that flag, they're just trying to convince you that's what they believe so they can further the agenda that had already began. And the states are falling right in line. It's called socialism....a term which I'm confident you leftists are familiar with already.
