Re: Controversy over symbols and racism .
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] whats the problem with the flag then? [/ QUOTE ] I don't have a problem with it. I do think it has A LOT to do with racism. For those that have never been in the south it's hard to explain. But I don't have a problem with it and I don't have a problem with swastikas. [/ QUOTE ] uve got to be kidding me...people of ALL races fly that flag here...to the non retarded it stands for southern heritage and tradition. A very small percent of people fly that flag to strictly be RACIST. And u driving through the south doesnt make u an expert on our way of life here To me flying the American flag is just as "racist" as flying the confederate flag

Re: Controversy over symbols and racism .
This thread is quite amusing.
I particularly like sublimes "so you know a lot about the racism issues in sweden i presume?" line and the Sponger Nazi fluff monster. Voltron's fypeachy was also classic. My rating: five stars

[/ QUOTE ] You driving through/staying a short time and seeing things here and making assumtions about our culture/way of life based on your education and what u have been told is about the worst thing u can do. Sure everyone has thier own thoughts...but u shouldnt be closed minded to the facts that others are trying to share about the issue. That flag means alot to everyone of the south...and will never be gotten rid of in any shape or form. It stands for alot more than most of you will ever realize or ever research and places pride in the hearts of most southerns....that u can never take away - not even with a victory in a war. I have a good deal of native american in me as well as german - I did not exist in those times and do not bring those issues into the present with me on making decisions on how i feel about poeple of this world - I do have family that is very true to thier heritage on both sides and I respect each in thier culture and heritage. I am southern...and I am proud of what that means and what my family has accomplished here over the last 200 years. I don't blame anyone of any race for what happened to my ancestors....and no symbol that a few use for hate will ever change that.
