Confederate flag, yes or no?

There is no such thing as "reverse" racism,..... you're either racist or you're not.

Here's some additional links and info about the Confederate Flag, the Civil War and slavery,...

To be honest, I really don't have an opinion on the Confederate Flag issue. Doesn't really mean anything to me so don't really feel the need to form an opinion one way or another on it.

Thanks english grammar nazi! lol - Let's call it racism then.

I don't even know what to say about your sources there. When you post baseless information like that, I almost think you're joking. Do you genuinely believe those links provide any useful information?

"reverse racism" that term cracks me up.

[Halon]

I never used the term reverse racism, I said an "opposite form of racism", and all I meant by that was fighting racism, with racism just in the exact opposite way.

E.G. Say a group was oppressed based on their race. Then "fix it" by creating special exceptions for that group based on race. In the name of equality.

That's what I meant by countering racism with an opposite form of racism.

I fully agree with viscious. And just like I posted. I dont hold hatred to the english for enslaving the irish because its not taught in history openly which allowed it to just go away... much faster then if you constantly bring it up.

Hell my daughter lasted had to learn the language of the slaves. And spent the entire "black history" month focused on slavery.

So tell me how are we letting this subject go? How are we not teaching our children hatred and not to be racist (she's 9) and whites are definetely the minority in my area.
Out of 116 people here at work im 1 of 15 in the entire plant.

^ Slavery is part of history and it needs to be taught in school. It's important to learn history so we don't repeat the mistakes of the past.

So the confederate battle flag is not part of history? It doesn't mean anything to me, but i'm sure some that live in the south still care what it stands for maybe? Today people just complain about something until others get annoyed enough to change it.
