HAHAHA. Even OBAMA had a confederate flag campaign pin in 2012

The Confederate flag is no more racist than the American flag is. It was the souths battle flag in the civil war, but somehow most people don't know that the civil war was not about race or slavery. It was about states rights because the industrial driven north put such high tariffs on the agricultural driven souths goods. Less than 2% of white southerners owned slaves. And the vast majority of white americans in that time were share croppers who were no better off than slaves. Racists have used the flag and given it a bad reputaion, but what are we going to do when someone draped in the American flag does something crazy? Ban the American flag?
nope. the civil war was about slavery. see the secession declaration of south carolina if you doubt it.

further, there were no tariffs placed on the souths goods entering the north. you are a confused individual who is trying to rewrite history.
The north put tariffs on the souths goods leaving the country. And Lincoln wrote articles explicitly saying he wanted to end it without freeing a single slave. But slavery was a side note in the civil war and was already being fazed out prior to the war after the invention of the cotton press. I'm not rewriting anything
you are. you're insisting that the north placed tariffs on goods leaving the country. that's not true. the tariffs in 1861 were lower than they had been 20 years earlier. southern congressmen had just managed to lower them.

and once fucking again - south carolina's secession declaration cites protection of slavery as a cause.

you're rewriting history so your ancestors don't look like the traitorous racist fucks they probably were.

True - tariffs had far more to do with the CW than slavery. The press has been lying about this for 150 years.
 
nope. the civil war was about slavery. .

Hey einstein. There were four NORTHERN states ( ky md de mo) that practiced widespread legal slavery throughout the war. that is smoking gun proof the war was NOT about slavery. THINK
 
Since about 98% of Shootspeeder threads turn out to be false I'm not wondering about the authenticity of the OP anymore. I'm wondering how many times do cons have to be tricked before saying "shame on me"

I think you need to check your history. And my ancestors are native American so I don't think they were the "traitorous racist fucks" that you mentioned

it was about slavery. those states just weren't full of traitors and didn't secede.

although missouri at least kind of did. never officially, but there was a renegade government that claimed to be the confederate state government.
 
That's different, he's a Democrat racist
It's different, it's not real.

"Where the confederate flag still flies, we have built a powerful coalition of African Americans and white Americans” -- Barack Obama

better reorder your Obama Kneepads
The quote is real, although truncated. The pin is not.

LOL.

Whatever helps the Fluffing go down easier

"Where the confederate flag still flies, we have built a powerful coalition of African Americans and white Americans” -- Barack Obama

But but but ...context!
Your wish is my command!
The full quote:

Throughout the first year of this campaign, against all predictions to the contrary, we saw how hungry the American people were for this message of unity. Despite the temptation to view my candidacy through a purely racial lens, we won commanding victories in states with some of the whitest populations in the country. In South Carolina, where the Confederate Flag still flies, we built a powerful coalition of African Americans and white Americans.

The modern usage of the Civil War battle Flag, by and large is neither about the Civil War nor about anyone's heritage. For instance, the flag was placed atop the South Carolina Capitol building in response to the 1960s Civil Rights movement. The KKK and other southern hate groups display it as an affirmation of their "white supremacy". African Americans are all too aware of what it means today. So it damn well is about race. Moreover, by illegally seceding from the Union, the southern States committed treason, and their flags are symbols of that treason. There is only one American flag - the stars and stripes. Get on the board, be an American, and display the proper flag, not one that represents bigotry and treason.

If you want to talk about treason let's talk about our last couple presidents. A flag is a symbol. And the rebel flag symbolizes heritage, not hate. Hate towards a flag because of what a minority of idiots have used it for is nothing but more hate, and misplaced hate at that.
 
Ole Eddie has been a roll the last few days stirring up the hate pot.

not impressive

Of course it was about slavery you dolt. The southern states own secession documents state as much.

that flag went up in south carolina and stayed up because of hate.
everywhere someone flies it and says it's >wink< "heritage" is tacitly if not explicitly supporting racism.

There, I fixed it for you.

Too many want to claim the Civil War was about States Rights.

Okay, let's run with that......

States Rights to do what?

To protect and continue the institution of slavery in the dimocrap South?

Yeah. That.

Not conservatives. Not liberals.

There was no such thing then and there is no such thing now.

dimocraps were, and still ARE, racist scum.

All dimocrap FILTH did was change from favoring Whites to favoring Blacks. A short walk across the street

Was Stalin a liberal or a conservative?

Was Mao a liberal or a conservative?

Is Castro a liberal or a conservative?

All of them are redistributionists so that makes them liberals, right? Right.

But all of them are murdering scum so you'll want to call them conservatives, right? Right.

dimocraps are not liberals, they are scum.

Period.

End of argument.

Pure scum.

Republicans are Republicans.

Period

dimocraps are scum. Always have been, always will be.

Ever since the CRIMINAL Andrew Jackson started the criminal party, dimocraps have been scum.

Republicans formed a Party to free the slaves being held by dimocrap scum and we had to kill several hundred thousand dimocrap scum to do so.

Hope we don't have to repeat that. But if we do, we do

dimocraps are scum

period
