Except it was, and every single leader of the Confederacy said so. Openly and repeatedly. They didn’t share your latter day embarrassment about their disgusting cause so they didn’t have to lie about why they were fighting. How many times do my treasonous slaver ancestors need to loudly yell “WE ARE DOING THIS FOR…

Your way would mean that we would still have restaurants that refuse to serve black people. I mean, why did they even want to support a person who hung a sign that said “whites only?” It’s just being vindictive.

with the Confederate flag, which represented people who were altogether peaceful and sought to conquer nobody

The flag should be in a museum. Who flies the flag of the losing army?

Nonetheless, the “Stars and Bars” is a different flag. This is as wrong as calling it the “Union Jack.”

Why do I have to post this shit every time there’s an article that might touch on the civil war? How are people so stupid that they think it wasn’t about slavery?

Slavery is mentioned as the reason for secession in every state’s declaration.

Yes, it was actually about states’ rights...to hold slaves.

Soo if some fools showed up with nazi flags that would be OK? GTFOH....... It is a big deal. Like the Nazis the rebels LOST. It’s over. And everyone knows what that flag stands for......... There are things I like that I can’t fly flags for or I will lose my job, home and career.... That’s life. ...

And people are still legally allowed to fly Confederate flags. No one’s saying otherwise. The owners of private property that is often open to the public do not want people bringing their redneck flags there. There’s nothing legal about any of this. It’s like when people complain about freedom of speech on a message…

I agree with you that most of “this whole flag thing” isn’t B.S, though some of it is. For instance, the fact that Apple removed Civil War games from its app store because they had images of the flag.

No, segregationist politicians also flew the confederate flag over government buildings in defiance of desegregation. And tens of thousands of racist asshats fly it to say “I’m a racist asshat.” Quit pretending it only symbolizes a pro-slavery army.

Wrongly associated racism? Like how long until the KKK start lynching whites?

Listen here Ruth Bader Cocksucking liberal.

Fiat 500 Abarth. I know MSRP says 23k, but you can find them brand new for much less.

The more Grabber Blue-esque paintjobs out there, the better!

Pretty sure Ford was waaaaaay earlier with their “Grabber Blue”

Hmm.. At least they’re copying a gorgeous color.

Well the last dogfight gun kill by us was in Vietnam (from what I could find, I could be wrong)... IMHO If the F-35 does well at range I think that its inability to dogfight is not that big of a deal. It was designed to reach out and kill stealth like. That is not to say I approve of the F-35 but it makes a…

You plebes can go and buy a Taurus or whatever that will go 200,000 miles without a major repair. We rich people with a family income of $100,000 (US) will go and buy a car that costs $10,000 to repair before it reaches 100,000 miles. Then we will sell it at a loss and buy a Taurus.

Yeah?
