From what I've seen... Most people who sport the confederate flag for all to see are what is commonly referred to as 'white trash'.
What point are you trying to make... That still doesn't change the fact that all of the people I've seen sporting those flags are what is called 'white trash'... And other white folks gave them that name by the way. Have all the criminals you've seen been black...?
i think you hit a nerve for space ghost. but your wrong. my home town is filled with rebel flag supporters, some of them are white trash, some of them are middle class, some of them are the richest business people in town who own car dealerships and restaurants.
That term isn't specifically delegated to an economic group.... But with that said, people can do what they want. I just find it funny to hear southerners who honor that flag complain about ISIS when they represent the same thing.
I am completely against flying the confederate flag, but this is just downright stupid and offensive. Most people who fly the confederate flag do it out of a sort of stubborn ignorance. They are likely racist to a degree, but their racism is rarely elevated to the extent of wishing things like mass executions, rape, torture, beheadings, etc. on anyone.
http://america.aljazeera.com/articl...se-over-texas-confederate-license-plates.html "The Supreme Court appeared conflicted on Monday over how to resolve a contentious free speech case out of Texas that challenges whether the state was within its bounds in rejecting specialty license plates that would display a Confederate flag. The nation’s top court heard oral arguments in a case that stems from a lawsuit issued by the Texas chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, who contend that their First Amendment rights were violated. Texas allows specialty license plates featuring over 400 different messages, including “Fight Terrorism” and “Choose Life,” but the office in charge of permits denied the request to have the flag of the Confederacy be a part of that mix. Nine other states allow drivers to display plates with the Confederate flag, which remains an image of Southern heritage to its defenders but a racially charged symbol of repression on par with a Nazi swastika to its many detractors." But Texas Solicitor General Scott Keller said the state makes the plates and owns them. "Texas has its name on every license plate," Keller said. Car owners remain free to express any message they wish by attaching bumper stickers or painting their cars, he said. If the issue at hand was the relatively simpler constitutional issue of a private citizen’s desire to display a Confederate flag in a manner of their choosing, such as on a front porch, the group would be on much more comfortable free speech ground. But in this case, the court has to decide whether an individual’s first amendment protections extend to a forum that is produced by the government. ive said it before that the rebel flag aint about slavery and hating blacks. 9 other states realize it's about southern pride. but if the state of texas owns these plates and makes them then the state has a say in what to make and say. if people want to show the rebel flag they can buy a bumper sticker and a flag. the state has the right not to have southern pride.
yea yea yea and this Flag doesn't represent Terrorism nor does this one represent Anti-Semitism We got ya . . .we understand what you trying to say . . . Rocket River
if i show an american flag in the middle east people think thats a symbol of oppression when really it's about freedom. because of the way you think about whites, you only see the rebel flag a certain way.
