Sons Of Confederate Vets Might Fight NAACP With Flags

You know, I’m gonna bail out of these postings after this because it gets to a point where you really can’t deal with insanity when the insane continue to think the thoughts in their head make any sense at all.  Bottom line is this…no matter WHEN the South enslaved African-Americans, or if they were FORCED to, or they let some go as the Union was marching through torching up the joint, the fact is, the South held onto African-Americans in enslavement during this bloody war, and a PERCEPTION has been implanted in most Americans that the South and their failed attempt to secede from the Union was in many ways, whether overtly or benignly, still wanting to continue on in their ill-treatment of blacks.  This perception may not be solid in factual basis—heck, the whites in the South might’ve wanted a big join-hands-and-let’s-go-into-business-with-our-fellow-Negroes moment, but history has since proven that that mindset was never in the hearts and fluttery minds of the majority of Southern men and women.  I confidently believe if you were to poll African-Americans of that day, the results would spill in that they weren’t exactly thrilled with their standing before the Civil War, during the Civil War, and while living in the South thereafter, up until the 1960s.  I’m not sure you’re going to get a great deal of African-Americans lining up to pledge allegiance to that crusty ol’ Confederate flag of yours.  I would venture to guess that there’s not a great deal of blacks living in the South that proudly hang that flag on their front porch.  Why is that, do you think that?  Because maybe it’s a constant HURTFUL and SHAMEFUL reminder!  It dredges up a period of time that THEY certainly don’t feel all that proud about.  So, when you get all sappy about your granpoppy and his kin having fought off the big bad North so he and his kin could be free to further segregate and marginalize people of other races, I really don’t get all teary-eyed for your loss.  And as for your Yosemite-Sam rifle-clutchin’ comment about how I’d feel if “another nation came rushin’ in, guns ablazin’, takin’ over my nation, etc.,“ well, I leave you with this….  I am three-quarter Muskogee Indian (what the Europeans called us as Creek Indian), with a little Spanish blood thrown in.  Not that I can recall—not that I ever lived anywhere near that time—not that I get up every morning cleanin’ my gun and raising my native flag—BUT, I think I kind of get that whole other-nation-coming-in-with-guns-blazing-taking-my-land thing.  It was your ancestors fool.  You have ZERO sympathy or support from me in your confederate rah-rah and push to show your stupid flag.  So, grow up people.  Lift your head out of your segregationist hilltop and hold hands with the rest of us “assimilated” Americans.  p.s. Hope your head doesn’t pop completely off if a (“horrors!“) African-American man with a strange name is in charge of our great country in a few months.

Oooookay Vindicator.  Looks like you’re drinking a few too many Red Bulls as myself.  Bit hopped up on the ol’ Rebel thing.  Alright, let’s go down to the real simple level of this okay?  You can justify this and justify that…sure, the big bad North was exploiting the South, taking massive profits from their cheap, enslaved labor.  Lincoln took awhile to come around to the notion of abolition.  Yada yada yada.  Just like we as colonists realized that we didn’t care for Mother England’s rule and their way of exploiting us, so that’s basically, after all your detailed explanations, is how the South felt about the North.  Got it.  But, ultimately, we’re talking about change and leaving the fundamental past wrongs where they should stay.  You don’t see a whole lot of people these days making a cottage industry about their “British” pride and saying the English will rise again and rule the U.S.  You don’t see a whole lot of battle re-enactments taking place in Dover, mimicking the colony wars of the 18th century.  See, they’re a little more refined and progressive.  They’ve moved on.  No matter WHY the reasons the South did what they did, WHY they chose to secede, the plain fact is that PART, and a very enduring and hurtful memorable PART at that, of what they were doing was enslaving men and women, and they weren’t keen on changing that practice.  The North had slaves, yes, but, see, the majority of Northerners saw the inhumanity of it after awhile.  They somehow found their morals.  They could think.  They eventually changed.  I believe it took a great big chunk of the South about another 100 years for signs like “Colored Only” and orders to ‘go to the back of the bus’ to be practices that were finally outlawed.  Mindset of the South is slow to change to more intelligent, beneficial, and moralistic outlooks for ALL humanity.  That’s been your legacy.  And your ilk’s continual chest-beating and love and flag-waving (as a hated symbol amongst the majority of the African-American race) for a stunted time of ignorance and apartheid simply amplifies and carries on that contention.  This is the 21st century.  We all live in the UNITED States.  Grow up.  Shed your stupid “South” thing and join the rest of America.  If you’re white, then your ancestors came from Europe anyway.  The “South” thing was but a blip in history.  A not so great thing to dredge up over and over again.

Okay, enough…
When is all this nonsensical talk about heritage and history and valor and pride going to cease and desist?  Let me put it to you this way…there were men who once fought for their way of life, who felt that what was their heritage” and “rights” and lifestyle were such that they were validated in raising arms and combatting those who felt, amongst other geopolitical concerns, they’d overstepped their bounds.  It was a failed war for them eventually.  But to this day, there are still many that would like to celebrate that “heritage” and that “pride” and that history by openly displaying their flag.  Their swastika flag, that is.  It’s a group known ever since the second World War as Neo-Nazis.  I think that we can agree they shouldn’t be allowed to wave their racist, disgusting, heritage in our faces.  Nor should those whose dearly-departed “heroes” of the South—the individuals of valor whose racist, disgusting ways, NO MATTER HOW YOU SLICE IT (raping, beating, chaining up, indenturing, and killing African American slaves for the benefit of their lily-white plantations and way of life)—should be allowed to wave their repugnant reminder of that way of life, the Confederate Flag in a modern-day, more progressive-minded America.  If you love that flag, you love the thought of apartheid.  Period.  And that, my friends, is why I moved out of the South and never wish to move back there again.

The NAACP boycott is helping the overall South Carolina tourist industry, but it is hurting the black tourist industries, primarily in the Gullah region.  The NAACP has made it clear they don’t care about these people as long as they can show numbers of tourist companies driven bankrupt.

As part of our flag fight we need to support these black business when and where we can - and let them know it’s because of the flag fight.  After all these people are Southern too, and some of them are just as proud of our Confederate heritage as we are.

Let’s stop the NAACP hate-mongers from turning Southerner against Southerner!

We have a situation, in Dallas, where a part of a school, Booker T. Washington, has been renamed. The Blacks are up in arms about their heritage and the pandering begins. We might be able to use this example to our advantage if some “leaders” can find their backbone in the attic. Unfortunately, most of our “leades” are as empty as a moron’s mind.
