everyone thinks it was all about slavery... It was about states rights being taken away from them, and just so happens that slavery was a RIGHT in the southern states. Not saying that it was an ok "right" to have, it was nonetheless a "right" that was trying to be taken from the South. Now as for slavery itself, it is wrong, but you have to understand the times back then, it was the norm. But you shouldnt try to "erase" the history of the CSA b/c of what a few did.....
The flying of that blood soaked battle flag and the lies and myths perpetrated by it's proud wavers is a dis-service to America as a nation and African- Americans as a race.
When the love of power is overtaken by the power of love, we shall finally be truly free! Free indeed.
Many Northerners had slaves during the Civil War. Freed blacks had slaves too. Lincoln didn't start the war to free ANY slaves. 65,000 blacks volunteered to serve in the confederate army - but the South didn't segregate blacks into "colored regiments" - the North did. Hundreds of Union soldiers deserted when they heard the war had turned to freeing slaves. Thousands of southern women and slaves were raped by Yanks during this war. Thousands of Southern homes were burnt as well.
Go Home Yankee. Spare us your PC bigotry. 30% of Blacks voted for the rebel state flag in Mississippi. Pro-Confederate Huckabee got 40%-50% of the Black vote in his state. Anti-confederate RINOs like McCain and Rommey only got 2-3% of the Black vote.
A museum! That is a great idea. - Some say that it doesn't represent racism? The truth that they do not want to see is that the south represents racism, 'America' represents racism. The swastika was used long b4 Germany but it is known to be what it stood for during WW2. That's why there are mostly hidden swastikas. Good vid, and please keep bringing awareness
The confederate flag existed long before natzis used it dumbass? It represents the south ; NOT racists or natzis. Its the worst stereotype out there and you made yourself look so stupid by making this video.
Who cares! The guy in the video needs to put his energy into something more useful, like asking Obama to NOT raise fed taxes anymore! Otherwise he won't be able to afford to make more stupid videos
if u want us to stop flying our flag than yall tear down the american flag cas the north had the same if not more slaves than the south and the south loved black people and ther wer slaves but most whernt slaves in fact James Clarke was a black Inf. man from Georgia and was a FMC that means Free Man of Color not slave.
Well, to add to your distorted logic Black people LOST long b4 there was any Confederacy. And they lost to their own people, fellow Africans who traded them for profit. Your cause was LOST long b4 anyone concieved of a Confederacy or even slavery. SLAVERY is the ONLY African practice that America has adopted.
At first I wanted to punch you in the face for sprewing this vile bigoted ignorance of yours but Thanks to the Jesus, The Lord and the Bible, I decided to pray for you instead that one day you will realize the sins of the ignorance , hatred and bigotry you're sprewing and redemn yourself.
"Forgive him Lord, for he knowth not what he doth"
Your hateful stance on the rebel flag is the same misgided bigoted one as the KKK, you're just more honest about tarnishing it than they are.
I HATE PEOPLE WHO BITCH ABOUT THIS STUFF!!!! SLAVERY IS OVER!!!!! I AM SORRY FOR YOUR ANCESTORS TROUBLES!!!!!! INSTEAD OF WORRYING ABOUT THE REBEL FLAG AT THIS BUILDING, WORRY ABOUT HOW OUR COUNTRY'S DEBT IS GOING TO BE PAID OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Should we hate him too? It was a sign of the times. We cannot compare the standards of today with the standards of yesterday. If you look into it deeply you will see that there were plenty of free blacks in the South and I will make a video of that documentation from the U.S. census of 1860 within the next couple of days. Taxation without proper representation was the principal cause of the war of Northern aggression. The Confederate flag has been misrepresented in an attempt to alter history.
What about the fact that in the Kloran which is the Ku Klux Klan's official rule book it states that at ALL Klan meetings are to have an American flag present? It says nothing of the Confederate flag. How about the fact that slaves were brought here under the stars and stripes and never under the stars and bars? Does that mean we should hate the American flag and this country? George Washington, our first president and brave general who led the U.S. to victory against Britain owned slaves.
This guy is an IDIOT LMAO!!!!!!! u gotta be kidding he doesnt kno any of the Southern history! So ignorant hes so stupid! lol please look up census form the time of the civil war u will find that there weremore free blacks in the south then in the north n more blacks owned there own business n the south! u say they fought 4 slavery in New Orleans over 3000 free blacks owned slaves or 28 percent of the free blacks in that city
6% of southerners owned slaves so wat were the other 94 fighting 4?
its all moot, blacks are being marginalized by the lantinos look at cal.black population growth has been in the decline for 50 yrs once a pop.falls into negative numbers its over ,when the last leaf falls from the tree will anyone notice,no.they won,t be slaves ,not to a private party,but to the goverment oh yeah,upset about the flag go pull it down not man enough,Miss parks stayed at the front of the bus,you went on you tube, be bold.make your mark,color,huh its the heart thats wicked in all
Your claim that the Confederate flag is a "universal symbol of hate" is not only so widely wrong, I actually feel embarrassed for you for even suggesting it.
I could point out to you that there are people all over the world who do NOT view it that way and site the examples.
I could also point out that the number of people who continue to hold to such wrong-thinking, narrow views about the flag being racist (both KKK and African American) is shrinking year after year.
Wow go back to my land???? I see where you are coming from. Now it's your land???? Yea, okay. Wow, i feel bad for you living with so much hate. Your view of history couldn't be more wrong. But then again that explans why you speak as if you didn't graduate from 4th grade. Go do yourself a favor, and get some 4th grade reading level history books. It might open your eyes a little. But, based upon your prior comments, I doubt you have the ability to learn.
Early history of America involved a LOT of guns, cannons and babies wrapped in small pox blankets. your decendants STOLE this land from the indigenous people and then had the audacity to create a holiday (Thanksgiving) in thier memory. its a new day. GET OUT OR GIVE UP.. we are not playing with you guys anymore.
Answer me one question. Why was the Confederate National Government granting slaves their freedom if they fout for the South? Also, only 5% of the Southron population were slaveholders.
Only blacks that fought for Confederacy were going to be freed after the war? that must of been a HORRIBLE quandary for those latter day slaves. Fighting in hopes you would be freed but fighting to enslave your brother.. wow. THE TRUTH IS: while only 5% of southerners were slaveholders 100% of white southcarolinas citizens (and nation including the UNION) benefited off the sweat of slave labor. There were documents were slaves were traded for bottlesofwine. the tables have turned shouldwedothat?
hahaha okay well the fact you would even consider that we stop flying the American flag just shows how crazy you are. Sorry buddy, we don't change symbols and history to please like minded folks like you or anyone. I don't want to change Americas flags. If you don't like it then go to a country that better fits your vision.
your living on my land! go back to the caucaus mountains that was your original (un) stolen land. your worst fear is to be treated like blks were doing chattel slavery... will your fear be realized?
Hey jackass with the stupid looking glasses. The K.K.K uses the cross and the American flag as well. Does that mean we shouldn't fly or wear any of those symbols? The U.S.A flag was flown on slave ships from 1776-1865, should we stop flying American Flags? you seal look alike. thousands of blacks, Jews, Indians, Irish and all races faught for the Confederacy. Abe Lincoln wanted to ship blacks. hey seal, go get an education and stop making yourself look like a fool on youtube.
The confederate flag is a universal symbol of hate. outside of your little group of civil war reanactment soldiers people see it that way as well. it is a dead aspect of the WORST time in American history. Abe Lincoln's RACIST ass does not get a pass either. the emancipation proclomation didnt END slavery just changed it. Should we stop flying the American flag, maybe, we need something completly new to represent the real progressive people and ideas here in this land.
That flag is a symbol of liberty and independence and it aint commin down. That is your flag just as much as it is mine. Some ignorant fools misrepresenting it dosent make it racist. Besides you are 50 times more likely to see the kkk with the us flag. If there is any flag out there that represents hate its the imperial stars and stripes.
Its not about heritage; Its about rebellion. I hate feds, not you.

Yes, the civil war was about states rights.
States right to own people.
