"Why fight this?it's the truth." it is but history is history, you can't deny history no matter how awful or racist it was.

i used to think the same but my friend taught me that it never stood for racism in the first place, and that people twisted it to mean that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYnAgrdnVPU
people twist it because confederate flag was for the confederacy which the confederacy fought to keep slaves but the confederate flag was never a symbol of racism it's kinda like how the- s0wa..st--ik.a became a symbol for the n..a--z.i.'s when it used to mean something good

i used to be so disgusted by seeing the confederate flag but then i actually did my damn research on it
but here's something you need to read:
"if you think the original meaning of this flag ever had anything to do with racism, you are in desperate need of a true education"
let me tell you why the confederate flag is so controversial:::
because american history books made it out to be the united states of america put propaganda surrounding the confederate flag SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE THAT STATES WOULD NOT WANT TO SECEDE FROM THE UNION EVER AGAIN. they did not want this to happen, so they pinned the confederacy as hateful, gross, terrible...

the confederate flag to me is a symbol of the south now, but more so than all a symbol that if we the people do not agree with what our government does, we have the RIGHT to secede from the union, even if it is considered "against the law" we have the right to secede from the union if we no longer feel safe and respected as the people of the country

I'm assuming by "research" you mean you watched a lot of Fox News, right?
The Confederacy was 100% factually fighting for slavery. That was the main drive of the war. That is an absolute proven, documented, and indisputable fact of American history. |

| History is written (or re-written, as we're witnessing today) by the victors. In spite of your perception of the flag, it's still a relevant piece of history and it will remain so until this country no longer exists. |

i don't watch tv
omg DUH the confederacy was fighting to keep slaves because the south is huge and had a lot of farmland and there was no way they could meet demands without slaves
confederacy = slaves
confederate flag =/= slavery
i think what you're doing is in your mind you think just because the confederacy was fighting for slavery, and that they used the confederate flag, that the confederate flag is immediately racist
nope |

The N.azi flag is still a piece of history, it doesn't mean we should freaking have our tax money go to flying it on public property. |

That's like saying the N.azi flag isn't offensive because
N.azi = Jew murderers N.azi flag =/= Jew murdering
That's how stupid you sound. |

>snarky remark about lack of evidence >offers no evidence (and makes an assertion)
I'm remaining neutral here, but a derogatory comment isn't how you win an argument. Try again. |

It's already been taken down, so I don't know what you're so upset about. Maybe you need to clear your head of that venomous rage that dictates your thinking before trying to engage in anything political or historical. |

You're asking me to provide evidence that the sun rises in the morning and sets at night. It's such stupidity I don't even have time for it.
Accuse me of anything you wish, say you won the argument, I don't care. I am not wasting my time arguing something so moronic as whether or not the Civil War was primarily motivated by slavery.
@Digtzy
That's a moronic photo. I agree the US has done messed up things but WE LIVE IN THE US. We can't take down our own flag.
It's our job to try and fix the country to make our flag mean something good. If our country falls and we never make up for the terrible things, then yes, we should burn the American Flag.
But our country hasn't fallen, it's still going, so we should still strive to fix it. |
