Sons of the Confederates demand their racist flag on license plates

[hangover]

The confederate flag is no different than the ISIS flag. It's a symbol of terrorism. There are nine states that have that flag on their license plates, and Texans want it on their plates. Guess what, the confederates LOST THE WAR!

The cons on this forum keep downplaying the racism in the south, saying it's a small minority. This shows it's pretty widespread.

The confederates were racists, and after the war they bred racist children that were resentful of losing the war. And their children had racist children, so now there's a lot more racists. They are the American terrorists.

Racists? Only in a modern context since pretty much everyone was racist 150 years ago.

If the Confederate flag is a symbol of terrorism and should not be displayed in public...what about the political party that fought a war under it...the democrat party...who used that flag as a symbol....and fought as a party to keep blacks as slaves.....

So...if you can't display the Confederate flag...should the Democrat party be disbanded.....?

Have you seen the latest auto trade commercial?

THey have the Dukes Of Hazzard driving around in their old Gen Lee.

Very careful to NOT show the top of the car, which in the show was covered by a Confederate Flag.

Is it weird to you that the Dukes of Hazzard was a big nation wide hit, what with your view on the flag?

So going by your theory any county that lost a was must change their flag?

The Germans don't fly the nazi flag.

Most low information lefties aren't even aware that the flag that flew off the stern of slave ships for two hundred years was the Union Jack or the French flag or the Stars and Stripes. The Confederacy only lasted four years. Shouldn't we call the Brit flag racist?

And if the swastika on the flag cannot be shown because of the nazi party and what they did.....and the black isis flag can't be shown because of what they did.......then the Confederate flag, which the democrats fought under to keep slavery.....took up arms against their fellow citizens in order to keep slavery.....then should the party that fought under the symbol of that flag be outlawed?

There was no political party within the CSA that identified itself as the Democratic Party.

They were the Confederate Party if anything. It may have been composed of former southern Democrats and pro-Confederate Whigs, but there was no Democratic party in the CSA.

That said, as far as this flag license plate flap goes - if the state issues license specialty plates to groups for a fee (which, face it, is the reason they issue these plates primarily - revenue) - then the question is can the state pick and chose which "speech" is allowed.

Many say: No. The states can't pick and choose what speech is allowed.

Only the Confederate flag was a specific symbol of slavery....the rest were national flags.....the Confederate flag of the democrat party was specifically related to slavery as an issue....

Neither the colonies or the US was founded on White supremacy.

The CSA was.

Its weird that a show about a pair of white outlaws who regularly ran the police off the road and on street chases was a hit.

Actually no I'm not, white law breaking is fun / funny

Mmm, most Europeans nations were founded as personal fiefs of hereditary dictators.

And yet, they don't have any problem flying old flags.

Not really. REbels, criminals, ect. are often the stars of shows.

BUt it is strange to me that the ire at this old flag has grown recently.

One would think that as time passes that old wounds would heal, not grow worse.

It is almost as though the old injustices are not really what the issue is.

I wonder when the Swastika license plates are coming

Yeah they are stars of a show...if they're white.

The reason for it is unknown but people are tired of hearing why they shouldnt be offended by something so offensive.

One would think that if one never faced injustice.

Its almost as though you are trying to set up a deflection but you wont commit. Or that the old justices werent that bad in your eyes so you are amazed at how those can still be offensive.

Ever watch Blade the TV series? Blade wasn't playing by the rules and he was the star of that show.

"Old injustices"? But those "old injustices" were LESS old in the 80s when the show aired. Why was it cool for the Duke Boys to show the Confederate Flag then, but not now?
