Was that black man wearing a union uniform and holding a confederate flag with pride? That man seemed to know a lot about the history and knew what he was talking about. God bless him, he's gotta be one cool guy.

[RedShirtArmy]

@Buckkiller888 Yes, except he was wearing a Confederate uniform, not a Union one. Indeed, he's a very intelligent and cool fellow.

Why is it that the ones with foul mouths are carrying the stars & stripes & the Xian Gentlemen are carrying the Southern Battle Flag? 

[RedShirtArmy]

@hardmod777 Good point. And I did not edit out any foul comments by the pro-South people. I think you hit on a very real division between the two sides.

what are they chanting yes we can?

Dude he is kicking him some knowledge!

[RedShirtArmy]

@mercen144 Yep, they are chanting "Yes we can" - Obama's campaign slogan.

@RedShirtArmy, the federal education system is what teaches kids that our flag was evil and that we were the aggressors. They fail to mention the fact that the North was hostile towards us and we were trying to have state rights over federal government dictating everything.

@RedShirtArmy, I am just now seeing this video. I want to say thank you for posting the video. People seem to forget that the American flag has had a worse history with rights than the Confederate flag. I am glad this guy put them in their place.

He said whites and blacks family then they should be using the American flag

"From 1861-1865, the damnyankee came down into Dixie and waged 'total war' on the Great South and committed brutal acts of violence against Southern civilians, soldiers, and slaves."

"For 4 years, Northern scum illegally invaded the Great South and terrorized and killed Southern civilians, soldiers, and slaves."

"For me, loyalty towards the Great South is stronger and runs much deeper than patriotism towards the Union. Screw the Union."

Take the assumed racist meaning of the flag out and u have a fully southern flag, for pride. They are proud of where they r from and i dont see anything wrong with it. These people woke up one day with a hair across there butt and looked at each other and said'u know wats messed up' confederate flags'. You got anything to do today? me neither lets protest.' Liberals are garbage.

Here's my chant. "Yes we Cain" "Yes we Cain"

These people need to grow up, slavery is gone and for many years now. Obama is now another failure of a president, like most of the former holders of that office. The civil war is great for history books and entertaining movies, It is not part of daily life,even for people in the south. We need to help the "black folks" break the victimhood habit. Your not victims, yes you will have to work, but you can prosper by doing it, not by protesting or demanding a free ride.

YES YOU CAN WHAT? march down the street like a bunch of idiots???? God bless HK and God Bless Dixie
