Good, about time people stopped romantically reminiscing about slavery and the subsequent "culture".

Hey, at least you're more honest than other Neoconfederates who try to claim that blacks were completely chill with the CSA.

Yes, but the Battle Flag can be saved, because that is not its actual purpose.

That's ridiculous.

Any confederate flag represents the Confederacy; end of.
Therefore any confederate flag is defunct and must not be flown.

I don't know how it remains socially acceptable to fly Confederate flags in the US.

Well, perhaps you could tell me.

See the resemblance?

Personally I would keep the flag, but hey, its not ours to decide.

Damn I hate their types man. So self righteous, hates the south and refuses to let it go at the same time. I am no proponent of secession, now debating it as a academic matter is another thing. But the crap gets old, very old, very fast.

I was in Chicago and a woman told me that my home state, Georgia, was her favorite 3rd World Country. I found the first bus back south that afternoon.

Wow people think Georgia is a country?

It is hardly third world. Knowing their type they haven't stepped a damn foot inside Atlanta or other Georgian cities.

Georgia is a country.
(Art) -- People who get DEATed usually deserve it.

She was insulting me. Her way of telling me how superior her state/region was.

Needless to say, my first trip to Chicago will be my last.

If I recall the colony was named in honor of King George not what the time was irrelevant.

No, no.

Wait for the apocalypse first, because that's the only way it'd ever work.

Also you're West Virginian so you can't come.
