The racist history of the confederate flag

Neo-Nazis in Germany, where the Swastika is banned, use the Confederate Flag.

So, now neo-nazis in Germany are more important that millions of Americans who are proud of their southern heritage?

How many neo nazis are we talking about? couple of dozen? COuple of hundred?
The confederate flag is used in several European countries by far right racial purists. Ask David Duke, who was asked to leave.

David Duke?! NOw your taking your cues from David Duke?

IMO the only possible use for David Duke is that his presidential campaign revealed how weak White Supremacy is in America.

You ever review his elections returns when he ran for Presidency after the truth came out?

Funny stuff. Got 1% of the vote in his home state!
In 1988 he ran in several Democratic Presidential campaigns, winning no primaries and gaining substantial votes only in the South, but the campaign was given widespread media coverage, which made Duke famous. In 1989 he switched parties and was elected to the Louisiana House as a Republican. In 1990 he ran for the US Senate, receiving 44% of the vote against the Democratic incumbent, J. Bennett Johnston. In his 1991 campaign for Louisiana Governor, he received 39% of the vote, losing to Edwin Edwards. Remarkably, however, Duke received somewhere between 55% and 60% of the white vote.
David Duke


This is once the truth was well distributed.

"1992 Republican Party presidential candidate
Duke ran as a Republican in the 1992 presidential primaries, although Republican Party officials tried to block his participation.[73] He received 119,115 (0.94%) votes[74] in the primaries, but no delegates to the national convention."


LESS THAN one percent.

OK, we're both right.
Duke still one 55-60% of the white vote for governor of Louisiana.

So, why fade into obscurity?

With that kind of support he certainly could have found a House district he could win...

Or maybe those numbers have more to do with lack of penetration of the truth, which did not come out until AFTER the primaries were over.

Yes. Before the truth about his klan days was known.

It did not become widely know until after the primaries in his governor's race.

They knew about his Klan days, and love him for it. I grew up not far from where he lives ... trust me.

Err, sorry, no. LIbs have been shown by academic studies to be the worst at understanding what people of opposing ideologies think.

Born This Way - Reason.com

"In a study I conducted with colleagues Jesse Graham and Brian Nosek, we tested how well liberals and conservatives could understand each other. We asked more than 2,000 American visitors to fill out the Moral Foundations Questionnaire. One-third of the time they were asked to fill it out normally, answering as themselves. One-third of the time they were asked to fill it out as they think a “typical liberal” would respond. One-third of the time they were asked to fill it out as a “typical conservative” would respond. This design allowed us to examine the stereotypes that each side held about the other. More important, it allowed us to assess how accurate they were by comparing people’s expectations about “typical” partisans to the actual responses from partisans on the left and the right. Who was best able to pretend to be the other?

The results were clear and consistent. Moderates and conservatives were most accurate in their predictions, whether they were pretending to be liberals or conservatives. Liberals were the least accurate, especially those who described themselves as “very liberal.” The biggest errors in the whole study came when liberals answered the care and fairness questions while pretending to be conservatives. When faced with statements such as “one of the worst things a person could do is hurt a defenseless animal” or “justice is the most important requirement for a society,” liberals assumed that conservatives would disagree. If you have a moral matrix built primarily on intuitions about care and fairness (as equality), and you listen to the Reagan narrative, what else could you think? Reagan seems completely unconcerned about the welfare of drug addicts, poor people, and gay people. He is more interested in fighting wars and telling people how to run their sex lives.

If you don’t see that Reagan is pursuing positive values of loyalty, authority, and sanctity, you almost have to conclude that Republicans see no positive value in care and fairness. You might even go as far as Michael Feingold, a theater critic for the liberal weekly The Village Voice, when he wrote in 2004: “Republicans don’t believe in the imagination, partly because so few of them have one, but mostly because it gets in the way of their chosen work, which is to destroy the human race and the planet.…Which is why I personally think they should be exterminated before they cause any more harm.” One of the many ironies in this quotation is that it shows the inability of a theater critic—who skillfully enters fantastical imaginary worlds for a living—to imagine that Republicans act within a moral matrix that differs from his own."


And no, the researchers are not conservatives.
 
The flag was used as a means to put Civil Rights marchers in their place

BE026043.jpg

why is that photo in black and white?

oh, because it so so old that color film was not in common use.

sometime in the 50s, most likely. perhaps early 60s.
Yes, that was the time of the Civil Rights marches. It makes perfect sense.
That was the time democrats were lynching and hanging black people
