Oh shit Figment.

So what's wrong with the flag of the confederacy? I guess it stands for racism and inbreeding in your eyes huh?

That flag is about pride. Pride in your heritage, pride in being who you are.

Something I don't expect a Yankee to understand...much less a foreigner.

And before you start spouting off about black people...

I grew up in Tennessee and Mississippi...and we had a vote in Mississippi when I was 18 years old on whether or not to keep the confederate flag as part of the Mississippi state flag. And a shitload of black folks from the north came down screaming that the confederate flag was all about racism and rednecks and keeping the black man down!

Guess what? A shitload of BLACK PEOPLE from Mississippi told them to shut the fuck up, it's not about race...it's about Southern pride. As I said...having pride in where you come from and who you are.

Don't wave that fucking flag in disgrace again, until you know what the fuck you're talking about Figment. There are few things in life that really make me mad, and you just hit on one of them.

Sure is a lot to be proud of. Like instigating one of the bloodiest wars ever fought in defense of an institution of a legacy so evil we still feel its effects today.

And then losing that war, in spectacular fashion.

Usually losing a war means bad things for the losing side, only in this case, an entire race of humans beings were set free. So as far as I can tell, seeing that flag get run down a flagpole and replaced with the ol' stars-and-stripes typically meant a point scored for Team Good, amirite?

Before you jump down my throat, by the way, both sides of my family were living in Ireland when all this went down, so I don't have 'pride' for north OR south. I just know evil when I see it and, boy oh boy, was slavery eeeeeeevil.
