Imagine yourself as a small black kid in the south , being woken up in the middle of the night by a bunch of men breaking into your house and taking your father in his underwear most likely ...beating the crap out of him in the front yard while they are all dressed in white robes, white hoods, all carrying torches and one of them has a huge Confederate Battle Flag. After they are done beating the crap out of your dad , then leave him there along with a large burning cross stake on your lawn.

Now would you want to ever see that flag again ? because that flag is and forever will be associated with the KKK weather you like it , agree with it or acknowledge it. If you Google right now "KKK rally" and look at the pictures and videos ...WHAT IS THE MOST prominent think that you'll remember if I took the picture away after showing it to you for only a second or two..THE Battle FLAG.




That is not why the rebel flag is being targeted. It is being targeted for political reasons, by people who are willing to desecrate the flag that I saluted every day while I served my country. There may still be some folks left who have the KKK memory that you referred to, but the folks who are targeting the rebel flag are of all races.

It is the left that targets the rebel flag, and it is the left who support desecration of the flag that I have saluted all of my life.

It looks like there is a gay confederate flag too! That is one thing about the internet... There is something for everyone. See https://www.google.com/search?q=gay+confederate+flag&biw=1920&bih=909&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=YZyQVa3DD8zIsAXYtILYCg&sqi=2&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ

That is too funny. I am going to put one on Facebook.

This one is better yet. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CIe7E37UAAAJz7p.jpg Someone told me to look up "flags that piss everyone off." Obviously like that potato, this was a joke after all this nonsense.

We need a Communist element on that flag too as they killed more people than the NAZIs ever thought about. Wait, I guess that is OK as no one seems upset about that. Wal Mart still sells clothing honoring the Communist leaders, mainly Che Gueverra. What is wrong with this picture?

I don't think I understand what you are saying "It is being targeted for political reasons, by people who are willing to desecrate the flag that I saluted every day while I served my country"
The people are not against old glory they are against the Rebel Flag , and anyone who desecrates the American flag in my opinion should be Flogged ! 10 lashes . But and here's a big one ! According to the US Constitution, burning the flag is covered under the 1'st amendment (Texas Vs Johnson and U.S. vs Eichman) I don't agree with that but until the Flag Desecration Amendment is fully passed to include and and all forms of desecration regardless of motive, that's what we have to live with.
As far as all races are targeting the Rebel flag ....Well the KKK flies the Rebel flag as their own and last time I checked the KKK were against all races and ethnicities that are not WHITE American !! so yea it's everyone.
But whats wrong with this flag ? This is the correct national flag Stars and Bars or the Confederates Posted Image

Cause problems ? You mean because it resembled the US flag so the Confederates didn't like it. So they changed it to the Second National flag in 1863 till 1865 when they were still unhappy with it and changed it again in 1865.

So given the fact that they have changed it 3 times (4 actually including the Bonnie Blue) and the fact that the Battel Flag was actually rejected and only used by the Northern Virginian Army and despite "The Battle flag " never having historically represented the Confederate State Army as a country nor officially recognized as one of the national flags.....We are having a big ol :shit cow over it !

Like I said before " We need to leave it behind and move on because it does not serve us in this day and age"

Somewhere in the last 10-15 years, people fell under the illusion that they have a right TO NOT TO BE OFFENDED BY ANYTHING.

Do I have any particular love for the Confederate flag? No. But what does offend me is the idea that one population of this country can only be proud of their heritage as long as it does not offend anyone else.

We are a diverse country, and a diverse culture. Other people may do things (and display things) that you do not like.

SACK UP AND DEAL WITH IT.

flying the confederate flag is no worse than flying the Mexican flag at a school in california
