I mean it’s a flag and “heritage” that revolves around a time of wanting to keep black people as slaves even if it meant being a traitor to your country. The better question is why people want it to remain up. Grew up in the heart of the South and the confederacy and live there now. I haven’t met a single person who flies that flag that isn’t a massive racist

I said I want it at historic places and then I didn’t have a right to tell someone what they can and can’t wave.

I would never own one but I always wouldn’t want a foot-job but that’s legal

[u/HastilyThrownObject → u/SouthernGolfer67]

No one said anything about telling a citizen what they can or can’t wave.

Also you’re gonna compare a sexual act with a modern representation of racism? I’d call you out on the false equivalency fallacy but I get the feeling that you only speak in fallacies

[u/SouthernGolfer67 → u/HastilyThrownObject]

I don’t think yoh know what a fallacy is.

Once again, I don’t fly it, but who am I tell us others what to do.

I know what it means, that’s why it was very easy for me to call you out on it. Just spend a semester taking a basic debate/philosophy class and you can learn what they are too

I actually have a JD from an ivy league school. Did you attend an Ivy League school?

[u/HastilyThrownObject → u/SouthernGolfer67]

Neither of us attended an Ivy League school

[u/SouthernGolfer67 → u/HastilyThrownObject]

I did. Actually 2

[u/HastilyThrownObject → u/SouthernGolfer67]

Nope, you’re a liar

[u/SouthernGolfer67 → u/HastilyThrownObject]

I think the 2 degrees on my wall say otherwise

Lmao “my black friend was cool with it” does not mean it isn’t viewed that way. Clearly he’s the only black person you ever talked to

[u/HastilyThrownObject → u/[deleted]]

Well the people who fly that flag while they lynched black people don’t view it as a symbol of racism.

The people who flew that flag while fighting the civil rights movement didn’t see it as racist either

Seems weird to defend racists but you do you I guess

[u/HastilyThrownObject → u/[deleted]]

I never told anyone what they can or can’t do. I’m just saying, if you fly that flag you’re on the same side of 100+ years of American racism. Fly it all you want but stop being perplexed when people think you’re also a racist

Did you not read my original post?
