Confederate flag found to be offensive at movie theatre in Fredericksburg, VA

Political correctness strikes again! This time over a mural being painted that
contained a confederate flag at a new movie theater in Fredericksburg, VA.
An employee and several patrons were "offended" at the unfinished mural and soon after, a local NAACP chapter got involved. The mural was being painted in a Civil War themed bar thats a part of the
theater; it was not being used to offend or as a symbol of "hate", it was being
used to represent a part of history that the city was a big part of.
Fredericksburg is a city rich in history and played a major role during the
Civil War; there are several Civil War battlefields in the area (the battles
of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Wilderness and Spotsylvania Courthouse) and a number of monuments and relics from that time are all around the city and surrounding areas, the confederate flag being used in a historical context is nothing new to the area. People can take offense to just about anything they choose to and political correctness is simply
out of control in this country.

Oh, and I REALLY love how the NAACP member equates it to a Nazi flag, yea,
maybe we should just erase those from the history books as well, you know,
so we dont offend any Jewish people.....

[pistolpete667]

Black people should just embrace and fly the Confederate flag on their own and take the power out of it like they did with the word "nigger/a.

I get very pissed at people who go around looking for something to bitch about. A confederate flag, hell I had one,years ago. I belong to a group that has real problems, a group that knows what oppression is , because we suffer from it all the time, it noncustodial parents. If all I had to worry about was feeling uncomfortable or feeling offended, then I would have no problems. These people need to shut hell up and be made to take a course on the first amendment.

OMFG. Grow the fuck up. It was a billion years ago. IF YOU SERIOUSLY THINK , THAT FLAG MEANS, " WE HATE NIGGERS' GET A FUCKIN CONFEDERATE HISTORY BOOK AND READ! Ohh and OF COURSE They Asked A NAACP Member To Come. SHE SHOULD FUCKING KNOW, ABOUT IT'S HISTORY. IT DOESNT MEAN RACISM. I MEAN GOD DAMN PEOPLE. YOU IN THE HISOTROICAL SITES WERE THAT WAR WAS FOUGHT THERE IS GOING TO BE CONFEDERATE FLAGS. GROW UP!

Also, there is little historical PROOF that a influential number of black people served in the rebel army, free or enslaved, yes there was a few, but that number is quite small according to recent research

The confederate flag may not have started out as a racist sign, but it has become a sign of slavery and disunity. During civil rights era protests, anti-civil rights professors flocked under the flag, during the civil war soldiers fighting against unity died for that flag because they believed slavery was coming to an end. If you want to fly that flag, then you would secede from the union, and see how well that works out for you.

It is easier to attack the Confederate flag than for the NAACP to actually do something to justify its own existance.They are obsolete and they know it.
