Confederate Flag

confederate flag?

does any one else think that whoever flies the confederate flag is a racist, or ant american. I just thought of this during the time of martin luther king jr. day. im learning about the KKK in history class and how the black people were treated

Your question raises several issues:

The so-called “southern cross” was never the flag of the Confederacy. It was the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia (Lee’s army). The Confederacy had three official flags (four if you count the unofficial Bonnie Blue Flag). The longest used, and most well-known, is the “Stars-And-Bars”, though the two official flags following it both had the “southern cross” in their upper left corner.

We’re all racists in one way or another. We all make judgements about people based on the way they look. We’re tribal by nature, we still carry the strong genetic urges that kept us alive during the Stone Age. Did you know that for 98% of the time man has existed we were living in the Stone Age?

Racism is about what you do, it’s about how you treat people. I see nothing wrong with flying a symbol from your past as a way of signifying your heritage. I see everything wrong with living by the code that the symbol represents. Do you see the difference?

The KKK is something entirely different. I don’t see how it is possible to be a member of the KKK for “sentimental” reasons. The KKK is an organisation based solely on hate so membership of it is, by definition, racist (in my view).
