confederate flag?

[DriveInDriveOut]

Oh. That seems even more ignorant. That buckle had me thinking WWF. I'm thinking anyone who is Black and identifies with the Confederate flag either doesn't understand it, is trying to make a buck off it, or has H.K. Edgerton-like mental issues.

The cover of the album actually has the flag on fire...so there's that.

In regards to the rappers wearing it like Kanye, it's not about southern pride. I think it's some attempt at appropriation, like with the N word. I don't think it works but they can certainly try.

LOL... how did I not catch that reference.

Did you ask all of them?

Yes.

Up until me, my whole family on both sides were from the south.

Any other questions?

 

[realbrown1]

This is just an example of Southern Pride.

Just like the US flag is a symbol of slavery?

It's just a flag.

 

[MrFedEx]

Yes.

Your whole family isn't a representation of the overall population.

I've seen plenty of Rebel flags around town since the Rebel flag suddenly, mysteriously, and wrongfully became the focal point of so many people's misguided wrath. Mostly hoisted on the back of trucks but on some houses too. And this week many of them had Ole Glory up next to them. I'm assuming for Independence Day. It's funny because it seems like the more people try to ban or hide rebel flags the more popular they get. Kind of like guns. LOL!

I wonder if Klan membership has risen as of late. Probably a good time to be in the sheet business.

And when they took the Dukes of Hazzard off the air, methinks they went too far.

That was a business decision. They weren't forced to.

Nevertheless.

I've not seen any but then again, flags may be like the ole business saying,

Location! Location! Location!

No doubt.

OR maybe they aren't as bigoted as yourself and just understand the truth

Sorry bro, but it has nothing to do with " southern pride " for these rap artists. It's like using the n- word for them. They made it their own and have no doubts about its history and meaning.

You mean the way the Klan "makes it theirs"? Neither would be right or real to me

Using that analogy, the rainbow flag would be more appropriate. The kkk uses the rebel flag because it represents the fight of the south to keep slavery not the opposite.

I have not seen any and I live in rural Georgia outside Atlanta.

they're the ones (both) claiming to make the flag theirs. I don't care what flag either chooses, it's not what it represents to me plain and simple.

Its funny to watch here. Downtown has the rainbow flags flying and the further out of downtown ya go are the rebel flags; interesting melting pot here....
