Confederate Flag

[Liebling:-)))]

If a Northerner moves to the South and wants to become part of that society, then it would make sense.

Like they say, "Northerner by birth, Southerner by God's good grace." :P

The Confederate Flag

Can you please explain why Southerners (including white and black people) protest confederate flag?

The reason why I consider confederate flag as a racism.

Interesting debate between black and white people over the flag.

So it is prideful to fly the Confederate flag because of your Southern heritage?

Southern heritage of what?

Losing a war 2 centuries ago, accepting handouts from us "carpetbaggers" to help you rebuild, supporting the top 3 poorest states in the country--Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas-- welfare cases, be involved in civil unrest by not allowing African-Americans the right to vote, desegregation of the schools in the South, and of course the likes of David Duke, Newt Gingrich, Jesse Helms, Trent Lott--

Yeah--be prideful of your little Southern flag. :roll:

Oh wait a minute---isn't being pride consider one of the 7 sins?

None of your business about me or southern families who own confederate flags, it's our southern pride and southern heritage, period and quit to being whine.

There's no way for you to stop us.

We already remember about our heritage and history would still remembered and confederate flag will be still on our way.

You just got your own idea about pro-northern union.

Keep the South clean! Put a yankee on a bus!

Interesting and funny that it wasn't raised on a 'real flagpole'.

Funny, it's better to fly than lying on the ground, huh?

Thank you, Calvin, for the link.

That's funny; I grew up in the North, and I never heard anyone say that. In fact, I don't recall ever meeting any Southerners who moved North. I have met many, MANY Northerners who have moved South though.

That's the trend for past few years. Many NJ'ers & New Yorkers are migrating to PA and North/South Carolina (which is why they're the fastest growing state)

Yes, it make sense that the posters was made in North, not in South.

curious - why would it make sense if the poster was made in North? I thought you said it's illegal teach black people how to read/write.

I would say very few, not some.

How do you know? explain your reason.

 

[Maria]

Soo. You are saying the ones that supports the Confederate Flag are against the American Flag??



Oh PUlease!!!

I think you are misunderstanding.

The good Ol' Southern Country Boys and Girls are just as Patriotic..

No, I understand perfectly fine. Since, you mentioned that the good ol' Southern Country Boys and Girls are just as Patriotic. My answer is: Not always.

 

[Maria]

Supposely, if a person/(s) burn the USA flag - will they arrest this person for burin' it ?

How about Confederate flag if, a person burns it ?

We can say that for anyone, that lives in the USA.

Neither of them, there's no law to regards on US flag burn, however congress had attempt to pass in few years ago.

Actually, It was the Senate that rejected the Flag Desecration Amendment.

for the important link. It's what I want to read. Thanks for your help.

After I read the link that Jolie provided, the USA flag is the most important role in people's lives rather than Confederate flag in the whole United States of America.

Well, USA flag is national country flag but confederate flag is just regional that's popular for southern pride, heritage and redneck.

Same with USSR flags in Russia, some Russians are flying the USSR flag as heritage or pride of communism.

 

[Byrdie714]

I've lived in various towns in Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, California, Illinois, Florida, and South Carolina. I've had extended stays (more than several weeks each) in Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, and Maryland. A good mix of Northern, Southern, and Western states.

About 1/3 of the residents in our part of SC were born in other states. None of my neighbors are originally from SC. We have dozens of church members from Ohio and Michigan. Our previous pastor was from Ohio, via California, and our current pastor is from Idaho.

So there are no "true southerners' then.....

You just got your own idea about pro-northern union.

I'm not a Northerner. I'm a Northwestner. Big difference.

Why you posted the poster to wrong thread when you know the history? :scratch: That´s why your post got me wondering because I know it´s illegal to teach black people to read and write in South America and it couldn´t be that the posters are everywhere to the public in South America because black people were not allow to read until Reba remind me that the poster was for North America. This thread here is about condederate Flag, condederate soilders, black slavery etc in South America, not North America. Unfortunlately you posted the poster to wrong thread.

Don´t you know that the history about black slavery in North America and Canada in 1600s? Their history over law about black slavery is not same as in South America.

How do you know? explain your reason.

Why should I explain you then when you know the history about confederate Flag, black slavery history? I already explained what and how I was taught to learn about black slavery history. It´s hard to believe that there´re "many" good slavery masters in South America... Few yes but many?

Exactly

Yes, it indeed is, however, we still need to respect the flag of Confederate for its history, heritage, pride, and blood.
