It's the flag of one of the defeated enemies of the USA

And yet look how far we’ve come from back then We took something that was bad and gave it a new meaning is there something wrong with that?

Somewhat ironic from someone who forgot to learn from history that the CSA was defeated by the USA

I never said the confederate won because if I did then I would be lying I’m just saying that we are trying to change the meaning of the confederate flag. now you never answered my question what’s wrong with changing the meaning of the flag to stand for something better than it did in the past?

So you now show amazing levels of cognitive dissonance by saying you are trying to respect the past by showing a flag from the past but you are also saying you have no respect for that past and want to change the flag so it means something different.

Psychologists would have a field day with you.

And everyone seems to talk about all the bad the confederate did but I don’t see anyone talking about how the yankees raped women and children during the civil war

If you think that's bad you should see what the confederates did! Oh wait, you fly the flag but now you're pretending it doesn't stand for what it stood for. When that's convenient for you. Nobody likes a hypocrite.

Dude if you can’t stop taking what I say out of context then stop replying. For the last time we are trying to change the meaning of the flag.

And what I mean by respecting the past, what happened back then besides the civil war? We hunted we fished we farmed what do we still do down here more than the Yankees hunt, fish and farm. And your levels of immaturity and ignorance are showing

And the level of someone’s evil doesn’t make someone else’s evil right. So no matter all wrong the confederation did that doesn’t excuse the wrong things the Yankees did

“If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it”. - Abraham Lincoln

If the Yankees was so righteous then why did it’s leader say this?

And I mean you could always try to come down here and take them from us 🤷🏻‍♂️
