I’d state the obvious that no one would allow the NAZI flag to be flown for “German pride”, but I have a feeling many confederate flag holders wouldn't care.

Yes! The South is my home and very dear to me, but you know what? Among the things I love about it is not *that time when it fired on the US military and started a terrible, violent war in defense of slavery.* Fellow Southerners — let’s just admit, it wasn’t our *best* four years. We’ve had better.
Yes. The confederate flag is racist no matter where you fly it (like since when does “it’s our heritage” mean “its def something that ought to be preserved and cherished” esp. when your “heritage” involves fighting a war so that you could maintain the practice of buying and selling people as property?)
Put it the fuck…
This flag is racist as hell. We all know what it means and what someone is saying when they have it. That flag is interlocked with racism and violence.
IT’S NOT ABOUT RACISM IT’S JUST ABOUT SUPPORTING HOW THE SOUTH FOUGHT A WAR TO CONTINUE BLACK ENSLAVEMENT AND GENOCIDE GOD
Maryland is technically below the Mason-Dixon line (its northern border is the M-D) and was a slave state. While most people from Maryland fought on the Union side, many joined the Confederacy. Also, there are still a lot of dumb hicks there.
Here’s the thing. I’m a white person from the South. There are plenty of aspects of Southern culture that I am actually pretty proud of: the food, the hospitality, the (albeit superficial) kindness toward strangers and guests in your home. Here’s one I’m not proud of: racism! And you know what the BIGGEST MOST OBVIOUS…
Yea they are SUPER proud of the fact that they are white trash dbags. It’s SO sad
I JUST wrote a post about how the “confederate flag is not racist” defense is bullshit because you have white people who are nowhere near from the south and they have this flag on their cars, on their homes, etc. It’s ridiculous.
Those Confederate flags in the Pacific Northwest are the worst. Like, you really want to show the rest of the world that you’re an asshole THAT badly? For real? And they do. Their answer is always yes.
I remember seeing a confederate flag in front of someone’s house in Maryland and it was probably the highest I’ve ever seen the confederate flag being held. I wrote on Facebook expressing my worry that this person was probably really racist and this girl from the south, that I’m FB friends with began to lecture me on…
Road trip to South Carolina to fucking shimmy up that flag pole to shit on that fucking flag and then fucking burn it and then fucking throw it in that dumb fucking Governor’s face.
Lol @ leaving out white women like they’re not equally responsible.
I say this without a shred of irony or sarcasm: when are white men going to stand up and pressure each other to get themselves under control?
“Pray tell?”
You know this is A Thing on Tumblr. There are whole communities of “transracial” people (though many of them call themselves something much more offensive). You’ll find them floating in their own imagined oppression ennui with the otherkin and furries.
I have a running joke with a friend who told me once that I was “a hip black man trapped in a short white man’s body”. I didn’t really think to much about it, but after reading all this, I think it may be about time we retire that joke.
Dolezal’s reverse passing—new term! new term!
