the nazl banner also does the same thing
but it is primarily used by edgelords to spread hatred for a group you have the freedom to fly it wherever but we have the freedom to think you're being an edgy idiot
you dont see me waving that crap around |

| It shows the part of American history that you should be ashamed of. You don't see Germany putting the nzi flag all over the place, because it's a part of German history that they out shame on. |

Capturing a specific type of people and forcing them to do things they don't want to. Hmm... sounds the same to me. |

Except banning it is moronic, and nobody seemed to care about it until now. And you can't even compare the third reich, to the confederacy which wanted equal rights to the northern states. The reich murdered millions. |

people in america fly other flags all the time
"Why did they want to separate from America? The right to own a person, the right to kill them, the right to harass them, etc."
and because the union was trying to remove the confederate states rights to make their own laws, much like the recent LGBT marriage ruling
they had enough and exercised their rights by fighting back about it
not saying it was for a good cause, but they did |

It's the banner of a defeated, radical group
You don't see ancestors of Wehrmacht soldiers flying battle flags now do you? |

You can't compare the third reich which prosecuted millions of jewish people to that of a group that seceded from the northern states because they weren't getting equal rights. |

I'm not even American, nor I want to be. Let's say Germany hung the nzi flag up in their statehouse, don't you think that would offend Jewish people? Just like the Confederate Flag offend African Americans. Let's take a minute to honour the brave soldiers that fought for nzi Germany for fighting what they believed in. Sounds silly, doesn't it? And that isn't the real Confederate Flag. The real flag is Stainless Banner, Blood-Stained Banner and Stars and Bars. Uneducated Southern Redneck. |

doesn't matter at all times you must have self control and lack of that shows irresponsibility and immaturity and makes me want to dismiss your argument entirely
"You forget some blacks also fought for the confederacy. I'm not a redneck either."
side note that blacks, muslims, asians and other races also fought for the nazls |

You forgot to mention that those same people held an entire race tied down with ball and chain and forced them to perform unpaid labor, violating a United Nations Universal Human Right.
Personally, I don't care whether they fly it or not but this whole Southern pride thing is getting somewhat ridiculous. It shouldn't be flown in government buildings but if people want to fly it off their trucks that's fine. |

It pissed me off he clearly has no idea what he's arguing about. What does digging up soldiers, who's died over a 100 years solve? Nothing. It won't solve racism. The flag has NOTHING to do with racism.

The American Flag technically flew over plantations for by far longer than the Confederate Flag did.
And if I'm not mistaken, for a brief period of time, the American Flag flew over them briefly after the Civil War.
The Civil War was not fought over slavery necessarily, but in order to either keep the union together or to separate, and the result was the union.
But yes, the abolition of slavery came out of the aftermath. |
