It really is just something they grew up with. That flag doesn't represent slavery dude. It represents a region that was left in shambles after a hugely life-costing war.
I believe to this day the American Civil War has been the most bloody war the US has fought. And it was against itself.
Too many people just look at that flag and think of what the North's intentions were. Southern slave owners more than likely were born with slave owning parents. This was a thing that existed before the founding of the US. They wholeheartedly believed that they were not people.
It doesn't make it right, what they were* doing. But the confederate flag today has a broader representation than just slavery or the southern war effort*. |

I know he didn't, but I proposed an angle of view. I wasn't assuming he implied racism alone.
No need for name calling because of an assumption you made. |

Entire post was not based on an assumption. It was purposefully framed to expand upon an idea:
The idea that the confederate flag represents more than what the OP probably sees it as. |

"more than what the OP probably sees it as"
yeah you assumed he thought it was a flag of extreme evil and slavery, thn proceded to go on a rant completely irrelevant to the OP
nice job proving to everyone you just care about protecting your short sighted opinions instead of whats actually right |

Uh no. I didn't assume he sees it as purely evil or representative of slavery.
Nice job proving your primary concern is belittling anyone who disagrees and hounding arguments purely so you can pick away at them for personal gain. |

pwner it's something called drawing conclusions
he probably drawed the conclusion from when he said " I hate to see confederate flag next to U.S flag "
to something that was bad that the south wanted, and the most recognized thing would probably be slavery
it's an informed assumption, not just a guess.
even though today, it's mostly just wanting to split up from the north, but back than, it was due to slavery.

People still have the confederate flag around cuz a lot of their ancestors fought for it
It's just to honor their family and what they believed in

but he isn't, he's making an informed opinion lol...
he says he hates the confederate flag

and the most obvious one would be slavery
