Featured Confederate battle flag angers many at California high school!?

They can't change the future if they don't understand the past, and even worse, hide from it because it "offends" them.

 

Do you show such bigotry buy not addressing ALL Americans with a hyphenated start or just excluding them?

 

Untrue.

 

The flag in South Carolina, like so many other Confederate Standards, was likely raised in opposition to Civil Rights and desegregation during the 6os.

I don't think the US flag with 50 stars was ever hoisted in support of the things listed..

 

What year was that taken?

 

Curious. Looks kinda old. Why so defensive?

And what "was raised "in opposition to Civil Rights and desegregation."?

The flag of the United States? So what?

 

A.d what other flags and symbols have represented an army fighting against the United states? The Mexican flag, the designs on the flag of new Mexico, the war bonnets of the plains tribes, the clinched fist with " burn, baby, burn!" Are you against all enmity, or just white enmity?

 

Seems I touched a raw nerve showing the logical conclusion of your logic.

 

T hats interesting but it's not the 50- starred flag hosted above a statehouse.

I have friends who are smart enough not to make such illogical comments as you made and I responded to. They are also smart enough not to resort to sophomoric comments and will enter into a reasoned discussion when opinions differ.

How do you show facts for the illogical comment someone else made. If you do not like the logical conclusion of your illogical comment then think through what you say before making silly comments.

 

Just white enmity, apparently. /sarcasm

Just because I think the Confederate flag should be consigned to its proper place as an historical relic doesn't mean I think it is the only divisive symbol.

I do think it has special significance, though, as it represents a secessionist movement (rebellion) by part of the nation against the rest of the nation.

 

Money, slavery and territory are all aspects of what drives war. The civil war was started after the southern states succeeded because Lincoln tried to maintain federal control over forts in southern states such as SC. Once he tried to resupply that fort the southern states responded by attack and the war was on. Had there been on resupply of the forts it is likely there would have been no war. It was all about control over southern states. Slavery was one of several issues that the states succeeded over but control over southern land is what caused the first gun fire.

So the idea that somehow this was rebellion from a few southerners "from the rest of the country" is just wrong.
