Do you have a problem with the Confederate flag?

yes i see it as rascism and division within our nation. there is no room for thatcliff122316

Nothing but hate... It's no different than flying a Nazi flag.

I don't care if your grandfather was Hitler there is no reason to fly the flag, or have pride in it.

What do YOU think the flag represents?

Ilived

Rebellion, followed by division (separation).

As for the title question itself, not really.

Dosent bother me, to me its rebellious.

I see division in a country.Sajo7

Nope, I've lived in Georgia too long to have a problem with it. The South was terrible about slavery and segregation and all, but most people need to realize racism in the North was (and still is as far as the KKK is concerned) equal to or greater than racism in the South. Also, the North started almost as many problems before the war as the South.

im gonna use the logic shown in this topic to make a judgment about the american flag, to me the american flag represents blood shed and tears that were shed for a meaningless war, it represents government corruption and government cover up, and over all it represents a commercialized society where people care more about money then they do moral, this is supposed to be a time where things are supposed to be more advanced and easier, but yet more people are homeless then ever before, more people die for meaningless reasons, this isnt a step forward, this is a step backwards and a shamefull one at that

Kenya...

PROOF!

Kenyan men now hold world records in the 3000-meter track race, the 15-, 20-, and 25-kilometer road races, the half-marathon, and the marathon. Kenyan men have won 13 of the last 14 Boston marathons. Kenyan women are also rising fast: They hold half of the top 10 marathon times and world records in 20-, 25-, and 30-km track races.

I think it represents being a redneck. And whats even worse is that all the hicks in my highschool had it on their belt buckles, shirts, tattoos, crappy trucks and everything else, and I live in Washington state. I asked one of them one time why they wear that crap, and he said "It signifies pride". He has never lived in the south, and last I checked, Washington State is not in the south......hillelslovak

is that quote in your sig from Mr show? I had to bring it up cause Mr show is one of my favorite shows ever.

I have a huge problem with the Confederate flag. I don't like how it's represented and I typically don't like the people that I associate the flag with. However, it's their right to wear the flag as they see it and I know that not everyone who has a Confederate flag is a bigoted Southern racist.Genetic_Code

Agreed. But I treat people who fly or have a flag on their car differently, generally with less respect. Move on, it's been 130 years, we lost. By the way I'm a white male born and bred in Arkansas.

It makes me think of the KKK and stubborn ignorance and/or pride.

it represents Amerika!

I think of Dukes of Hazard.JustPlainLucas

Me too. :D

I don't care. Its just a piece of cloth with some symbols on it. And as for people who hang the flag. Well I can't exactly tell them to take it down. The city I live in (actually town) tried to make a Jewish family take down the flag of Israel they had hanging outside their garage. (mainly because half the people in this town are fundy christians, which may be why I hate the christian religion so much). That family took it up with the 8th district court and they said anyone can fly any flag of their choosing with the exception of the Nazi flag.

As a result a bunch of confederate flags started flying in the air. And I don't even live in the north.

Thats a funna comic.

And the South lost, get over it.

Nope, none at all. It is only a piece of cloth with colours on it after all, like every other flag.foxhound_fox

Rather simplistic idea of flags. Yes, they are "pieces of cloth with colors on them"...but flags stand for something. EVERY flag stands for something.

A movie is just a disc....an album is just a disc....a game is just a disc.....yet they are all so much more.:|

I don't like it. Not because of what I think of it (I'm Canadian so I don't have strong feelings either way) but because there are obviously some people who are offended by it. Its like using a swastika; sure it can mean peace, but why bother opening that can of worms?PBSnipes

The same....I am English...but yeah.

To me it represents racism, slavery, rebellion, and ignorance. Elraptor

have to agree, no reason for it to still be around. see it as no different from the nazi flag.

[QUOTE="Bad_Mofo_Gamer"]To me it represents inequality segregation and slavery, anyone who proudly wears it is also proudly flaunting their ignorance.ReapX

What he said.

That flag is used for so many rascist groups(I read somewheres that it's around 500) and where I used to live the rascist people always had it on their cars and stuff. It pisses me off.

True.
