Confederate flag on state property/on state flags?

[GodandLove]

So if we start flying an ISIS flag on your statehouse grounds, you wouldn't object?

Me personally? HELL NO.

Inanimate objects don't bother me. Unless someone is forcibly penetrating me with one, then yes, of course I'm going to protest.

I'm no conspiracy nut (although I think there might be something to some of them), but the longer this pandemonium goes on the more I entertain the idea of the possibility of a false flag. And as it's been pointed out a whole shitload more blood has been spilled under the US flag. Hell, blood has been spilled under pretty much every major country's flag. So instead of focusing on the Confederate flag maybe people should focus on the real issues at hand and leave southerners with their flag? That's my opinion.

...maybe people should focus on the real issues at hand...

you mean like institutionalised racism?

A piece of cloth can't make people racist that aren't already. Zing!

 

[alasdairm]

^ you said ignore the flag and focus on the real issues...

no_zing!

Well I don't know where you're coming from I guess. Taking down the Confederate flag isn't going to accomplish anything worthwhile.

Perhaps it's more of people not wanting a racist symbol around anymore.

Here's a question.
Under which flag has more attrocities been committed under? The American flag or Confederate flag?

 

[Bardeaux]

The US flag.

But the US flag is the flag of the nation state, not the confederate flag. So flying the US flag over state buildings is a logical expectation as the confederacy doesn't even exist.

That's how I defend flying the ISIS flag instead of the confederate flag. After all, what flag has killed more loyalist US military men?

 

[Orlando O. Ortega]

More injustice is being done under the stars and stripes than any version of confederate flags.

 

[Bardeaux]

therefore the confederate flag is good?

 

[treezy z]

I'm not a fan of the confederate flag by any means, I'm just sick of the marxists sending people to shoot up crowds to promote their agenda.

 

[Bardeaux]

Yeah, man. If I had a nickel for every time there was a Marxist inspired crowd shooting, I could run for office.

 

[Droppersneck]

A version of the US flag has flown over slave owning and many other atrocities in the past. Once DC finally gets statehood the old 50 star will have flown over the segregated south. I wonder if they will ban it..

Here's a completely irrelevant question.

Our confederate flags are being replaced by rainbow flags.

 

[alasdairm]

^ yep. bigotry and hatred being replaced by equality and love. how cool is that?

[RedWhiteNTrue]

Confederate flag means treason?

Well american flag mean treason to british monarchy they shouldnt allow our flag to fly in england.

We allow states to allow people to smoke weed, states allowed marriages of same sex couples before the recent verdict made it federal issue, i think states should fly whatever flag they wish.

Rainbow flag is a symbol for hatred and persecutions of Christians and Jesus Christ. If I had one at my crib I'd burn it
