New box, you have some good qualities
...but intellectual honesty is not among these. In four posts out of five you are a fucking troll.
New ? for someone who has not and willingly cannot be carried kicking and screaming
into any place that resides in the old south, you seem to state that you know everything about the people that live there. Yet you call me a troll? I am just pointing out your misconceptions as you bring them up. The post I was responding to was pontificating that the flag waving started out at the beginning of the civil rights era from 50 years ago. My post countered with a fact, that complements Courtney Daniels statement "But it seems that all because a few cowards in bedsheets once hijacked the gorgeous colors of a banner so rich in history to terrorize and intimidate other Americans, we condemn the Southern cloth to oblivion as a misnamed symbol of hate." a black man who lives in the center of Alabama.

Let me find a Jew who apologizes for the Nazis. That will completely absolve the Third Reich, and render unjust the objections of everyone else to the display of the swastika, yes?
New lets find an apache who loves the mexican flag
So where where the ovens to cook the blacks located? What was the plan to completely eliminate everyone of a dark hue? I guess they call it godwin for a reason.

New Ridiculous.
New one more for grins yaqui
between he mexican government and the yankee government were going all hitler on these poor people. http://www.latinola.com/story.php?story=8208
On February 7, 1894, the Los Angeles Times reported that "a campaign to the death" was being organized "against the rebellious Yaqui Indians of Northern Mexico." The newspaper stated that this campaign – under the command of General Luis Torres – would not end "until the Yaquis are exterminated, if that is the only way that they can be subdued." The mentality of the time seemed to offer only two options for the rebels: surrender and capitulation – or extermination! The same article indicated that General McCook of Denver – a friend of General Torres – would be prepared to deal with the Yaquis "if an escape is attempted across the border into the United States to form a union with their cousins, the Apaches."

New Your point being?
The CSA battle flag is A-OK? Nuh-huh. Fuck you again.
New your yankee white privilege is showing
look a few threads up. It doesnt belong on public property such as city halls, capitol building etc. Any one flying that flag privately has their own reasons but example after example shows isnt all about the racism no matter how much you wish and pray and stamp your feet.

New yankee white privilege remains
The awareness, to which you apparently remain blind, that the CSA battle flag conveys to 99% of black folk the message: "Fuck all of you, and we wish you were slaves, or dead."
New Re: yankee white privilege remains, thank you for making my point, Im done now.

New One can always (strike)found(strike) find an outlier. (sheesh)
Though finding one here (an article about a "support the Confederate flag" rally in SC) may be tough...

Pew poll from 2011:

Racial Differences in Reactions to Confederate Flag

Only a small number of Americans say they display the Confederate flag, but that symbol of the Southern cause elicits more negative reactions from some groups – especially African Americans, Democrats and the highly educated. Nevertheless, most Americans say they do not react positively or negatively when they see the Confederate flag.

Fewer than one-in-ten (8%) say they display the Confederate flag in places such as their home or office, on their car or on their clothing; 91% say they do not. The number that displays the Confederate flag is just a small fraction of the 75% who say they display the American flag in their homes or offices, on their cars or their clothing.

Far more African Americans than whites have a negative reaction to the Confederate flag (41% to 29%). Still, about as many blacks have no reaction (45%) as a negative reaction to the Confederate flag. Among whites, 61% have no reaction.

Whites who consider themselves Southerners have a more positive reaction to the Confederate flag than do other whites: 22% say they react positively when they see the Confederate flag displayed, compared with 8% of all whites and just 4% of whites who do not consider themselves Southerners.

Nearly half of those with at least a college degree (46%) say they have a negative reaction to the display of the Confederate flag, compared with a third (33%) of those with some college experience and just 18% of those with a high school diploma or less.

There also are partisan differences in reactions to the flag: about twice as many Democrats (44%) as Republicans (21%) react negatively to displays of the Confederate flag. And Republicans are more likely than Democrats to have a positive reaction to the flag (15% vs. 7%).


(Emphasis added.)

The Confederate flag isn't a "Southern" thing - it's a "Southern White" thing (and a thing among those who have similar sentiments).

FWIW.

Cheers,
Scott.

New would be curious of a pew poll that asked the following question in the north
if you saw a white man eating grits at dinner would you say he is racist? Has different tastes? Who could eat that shit at any time?
polls are important and I have already stated that flag has no business on public buildings. Other places have many reasons to fly it, not all of them in support of slavery or Jim Crow.
