My point is that your are straying off-topic in this thread. If you would like to discuss the Mexicans/Native Americans further, you should create a new topic in C-D to give it the attention you would like.

Obviously you have ignored my statement as I did say this is another topic but used it as a reference point to display the ignorance of those whom think this flag is ok and acceptable. I have placed them in the same category of those minute men in Texas whom think all mexicans should be sent back to Mexico. So it is you that have not read my post carefully.

If this was your intent, then I have to say your argument fails to show relation/correlation between your two examples.

Default the confederate flag is clearly, and undeniably a racist flag

One must be either racist or an ignoramous not to admit it......

The only thing clear in this picture is that the people in them are KKK members. They are a hate group that use the flag in a perverted manner. Just as they use the cloth to cover their bodies and faces.

I guess objectivity means nothing to you, the only ignoramous I'm seeing is the one pushing all these BS assumptions.

Your lack of connection between the two examples demonstrate it for me.

Obviously you do not even know what a real confederate flag looks like. So you think it is ok to fly the KKK flag, which is not the original confederate flag; this flag was a perversion and redevelopement of the original confederate flag. The KKK adopted this one for the hate purposes. Personally, I think they should all be banned; why would any American want to fly anything but the American flag?

Here is another hate flag for you, the KKK flag, as I stated before. Why would you even care to defend a flag like this, lest you be a hate monger yourself. I would venture to say you do not know whom this man is, do you?

All you're proving with this picture is that the KKK uses symbols to promote their hate group.

It is being used in a perverted manner by a hate group.
