...Segregation is a scab that is picked in living generations of the oppressors and the oppressed. If you're "sick to death of the past being present" tell Trinity to pull this:  Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1478203 Hey it's a flag buddy and I for one am quite sick of apologizing for the white people in this country's past. For your information, a very large number of white men died to give freedom to the slaves whose descendants are now so full of hate for white people. The south was more than slavery. It was a culture with its own values and yes that very often included living amongst blacks, intermarrying with blacks, and being raised by black women. Does this make everything that happened in slavery ok? No! But a whole lot of bad shit happened to black people up north too, so people like you need to "get over" the confederate flag. I live in Alabama. The confederate flag is flown here by very few individuals. 9 times out of 10, it is to incite anger, hate, a reaction or "to stand with pride" by people that have zero idea of a clue as to what the number of stars has to do with the number of states that seceded. They have never read Albert Pike and they are not aware of "the real world." It is the same as black people wearing Malcom X symbols in teh 1990's; it was a statement of "F*** you" to the other race for reasons they don't/didn't understand. The flag was misrepresented from the beginning and it is not an answer now. The flag is not even the the confederacy's flag. That particular flag is the flag of an artillery unit and a Naval flag. If the south would have won, and achieved succession, it wouldnt be as demonized as it is now. Remember who controls history. The civil war was about so much more than slavery. Thank you. I am well aware of it and that was the entire purpose of my post if you could read between the lines. I appreciate the insight on life and history as some people actually don't know. Albert Pike basically started the Civil War. Lincoln has a past many have no clue about and slavery was just the excuse. The "North" had slaves and laws against black people and by all accounts treated them worse until 2-5 years before they decided to shoot at Ft. Sumpter. Either way, I get it. People still fly the Stars and Bars to piss other people off and history is no excuse.
