            Or are you just ignorant of history and think the battle flag is THE confederate flag? You never disappoint in how little you know.

            I’ve already explained this to you. It seems beyond your abilities to understand, but I’ll give you one more chance.

            Yes, it is technically just a battle flag. But that’s not how it’s used, that’s not what it CURRENTLY represents. The meanings of things can change and have changed. Shocking I know.

            Said flag now represents the confederacy, who’s proposed was to protect the institution of slavery.

            Racist republicans are quite ok with that though, because they always have the excuse that it’s their heritage or southern pride or some other bullshit excuse for their blatant support for racism.

            Southerners fly it for Southern pride.

            Yeah, and people fly nazi flags because they’re just trying to represent their German heritage. Get a grip.

                    Are these people racist?

                    Who? Be more clear.

                    Once again you don’t get to define a symbol.

                    I never said I could. It’s already been defined elsewhere as a hare symbol, and a symbol or slavery.

                    You thought it was the flag of the confederate states which it isn’t.

                    I never said that. I have more than 2 braincells, which is more than can be said for many people and therefore I am capable of realizing that when the term “the confederate flag” comes up, I can acknowledge that while technically not correct, this is the one that people are generally referencing. It’s a hate symbol, and a representation of the confederacy, for which the entire purpose was protecting slavery.

                    And evidently that’s too complicated for you.
