Symbol of racism and hatred.

That being said, I do enjoy the flag from a purely aesthetic standpoint... It's (admittedly) nice to look at, but I still condemn it.

In most cases the Confederate flag and monuments first went up 60-100 years after the Civil War (1920's-1960's).

The conservative Dixiecrats made it their national emblem in 1948 as part of their 'middle finger to desegregation', and many Southern states added it to their statehouses or flag between then and the 1960s in sympathy. South Carolina, which only recently got rid of the flag after a nutjob shot up a church, added the Confederate flag in 1961, just 4 months before Barack Obama was born.

Do you have any idea how many people lived through that (to say nothing of Jim Crow itself) that are still alive today? This wasn't some far off past. Unless you live alone in a basement, you see people who were directly and negatively impacted by that shit every day.

People have every right to be 'triggered' by the Confederate flag.

It's funny you say that. In 11th grade US history, the black teacher asked a white girl with a Confederate flag shirt on if she believed in God? The girl said yes. The teacher then asked who's side was God on in the Civil War and she went to say the South but he interrupted her loudly and said WRONG!

And he said if God was on the Souths side, they would have won.

There is this giant Confederate flag on I75 that I shake my head at everytime that I drive by

I remember traveling to visit relatives in the south and I saw a massive Confederate flag on a giant pole, it may have been the same one.

I had an argument/debate one time with these same relatives about the flag. They said the usual stuff southern people say Its part of our history. It's not about slavery, its about pride in the South. You cant argue with them, there's no changing their minds. And they get super angry and defensive about it too.

Doesnt just blindly do stuff for people because of a bias. More people should learn that. Could have been on the souths side but saw the bigger picture.

The bigger picture that the South was wrong about slavery?

Why would God be on their side then?

Im not understanding
