Confederate Flag, pride or hate?

Reported in The Dallas Morning News was an article about the Burleson School District. Two girls went to school with the confederate flag on their purses. They were suspended, the girls sued. The court ruled in favor of the school district, who said the confederate flag would have caused a disturbance at school.

The Confederate Flag either loved or hated. The flag of the Confederacy euphemistically known at the Stars and Bars as oppose the United States flag referred to as the Stars and Stripes.

The rage exhibited towards the Confederate flag some say is because it represents the defense of slavery by the CSA - Confederate States of America, the South. The North fought the Civil War over the issue of slavery, while the South fought over the issue of state rights.

At the start of the Civil War 10% of Southerners owned slaves. So does that mean the other 90% fought so the 10% could maintain their slaves? The 90% consisted mainly of poor southern whites who were poor due to the institution of slavery. Are we to say this 90% group fought to remain poor?

Also at the start of the war more free blacks lived in the South than in the North. Many Southern blacks put on the grey uniforms of the Confederacy to fight for the South. Today many blacks in the South take pride in their Southern heritage.

Slavery existed for four years under the Confederate flag, while it existed for about 87 years under the United States flag (USA). Many people state the Confederate flag is used by hate groups such as the KKK - Ku Klux Klan. However the American flag is used by the KKK and prior to World War Two the Nazi organization in the USA, the German American Bund or German American Federation (Amerikadeotscher Bund). Yet the USA flag is not forbidden because it was and is exploited by hate groups.

This hate towards the Confederate flags is just a vehicle for liberals to attack conservatives. Plus it plays into the hands of the extreme liberals, the political correct thugs, and the pervert thespians in Hollywood who always portraying Southerners as rednecks, and just plain stupid.

Im a black southerner....& I want a rebel flag...fuk the north

[screwdriver6902]

It aint the flag of dixie. It aint the flag of the south. It aint the flag of the KKK. It aint the flag of the confederate army - It was the flag they all used as a symbol BECAUSE THE FLAG ALREADY EXISTED ! ! !

That flag repersents AMERICA, the first 13 states. ( the 13 stars ). That WAS the American flag in early america. (EAST COAST ONLY).

So when someone takes a symbol thats been around for years and years, and uses it as a sign of hate - the original meaning CHANGES ? since when?

@surfunurf You must be from the south & this is why you don't want to accept the facts, what you fail to understand is it's not about who killed more people, the confederacy failed to achieve it's independence.I don't give a rats ass about your technical bullshit.the south was DEFEATED.end of conversation between me & you.goodbye

[surfunurf]

@JYoung3rd To tell you the truth the south didn't technically lose because there were 100,000 more yankees killed than confederates president lincoln was a corrupt president he sent thousands of troops running into confederate lines to be shot, burned southern farms, forced the draft to U.S citizens and made it where rich people could pay 300 dollars to avoid the draft even though he wasn't given the power to make a draft in the constitution in the first place

[surfunurf]

@JYoung3rd no dont you try and twist the facts with your propoganda buddy i looked up both sides of the story so i know who's right and who's wrong the states had every right to seceed and you know it its stated in the constitution of the united states that "if the goverment becomes destructive at these ends it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it." now why would you say that i am twisting the facts? is it because its popular to hate the south and what it stood for?

You may mean well but your understanding of that flag is lacking and simply not complete. Your incorrect do your homework also look at how and why that flag gain popularity in the 50's. FYI war's have always been fought by a poor uneducated populace . You don't wan to use them to support your argument

[JYoung3rd]

@surfunurf they lost the war buddy, it's a defeated flag.now if you think it's still relevent & still want to wave it thats your business.but don't try to twist the facts.

[surfunurf]

@JYoung3rd where's your proof i see people all over these united states that still wave the confederate flag so the way i see it its still very relevent and was never defeated in the first place

[surfunurf]
