A South Carolina bill to remove the Confederate flag from its position in front of the state house is gaining momentum, with the House of Representatives currently reviewing the bill and preparing to vote. Here are the pros and cons of flying the Confederate flag:
PROS

• Bold way to display distorted, painstakingly cherry-picked heritage
• Stirring symbol of South’s never-surrender attitude 150 years after South’s surrender
• It’s already all the way up there on flagpole
• Simplest way to let others know your state ranks in bottom quintile of all quality-of-life metrics
• Eliminates uncomfortable feeling of having to say aloud what you think of African Americans
• Political correctness should not get in the way of being on the wrong side of history
• Without it, nation might forget racism ever happened in U.S.

CONS

• Can’t fully grasp its incredible grandeur like you can on a bedspread or garage door
• May arouse negative feelings among blacks regarding 19th-century states’ rights, currency inflation, and sectarianism
• U.S. flag already represents history of entrenched prejudice just as well
• Eliminates tedious raising, lowering, and triangular-folding tasks
• Has always been sad reminder of The Dukes Of Hazzard’s cancellation
• Could give accurate representation as to what kind of person is flying it
• There still plenty of other ways to make nation’s black population feel despised, derided, and inferior

like many Rebel flags, it's a symbol that people can come together and fight for their right to sovereignty or fight for what they believe in.

while the white southern a lost, at least they can say that they fought long and hard for what they believe in.

I look back on the great people of the past--those go fought for what they believe in--and I put them all in the same bought. The Haitians, the Native American defenders, the Jews under Rome, the Mau Maus, the Zulus, and Johnny Rebel--all the same to me.


I look at my roots in America and all I can think about is Gabriel's rebellion and the legacy of dishonorable snitches, house c00ns and masta-ass kissers that enabled slavery to exist. What a shameful lineage to even be a part of.

Why do you think Football teams, and military weapons are named after Native American warriors. it's because they are fukking heroes that earned history's respect.

Funniest shyt is that the flag in Columbia didn't start flying until the 1960s to protest the civil rights movement

But these idiots are running around with Tshirts talkin bout "Learn Your History, Heritage Not Hate"
