Are you sure there aren't some who use the Mexican flag as a symbol of separatism and a longing for return of lost lands?
There are definitely "some" people who probably use the Mexican flag as a symbol of separatism. My theory isn't based in absolutism... But tell my this, by percentage do you believe there are more "people" using the Mexican flag as a sign of racism than that of the confederate flag? Be honest...
No it doesn't. But I guess hearing the truth hurts your ears... I have no problem with other races. Racism should be eradicated in my opinion. That said, I do have a problem with the radical right! Their ideology is a cancer to this nation and the world. Name just one positive achievement that came about because of radical right wing ideology? Just one buddy!!!
I'm not your "buddy".
What does your Black Panthers stand for? Most racism comments made today are from the mouths of Blacks and their race mongering leaders such as Al Sharpton, President Obama, Jesse Jackson, Eric Holder, Shelia Jackson, Elijah Cummings, etc. Most white people don't spend their time worrying about Black folks at all.
The KKK is totally a non-factor today. That was a long time ago. Black folks like you need to stop bringing up racism with your every breath and try to get along with the rest of society. Your time would be better spent. Enough is enough. This country has had enough of racial hatred.
The Tea Party is about many things. My post wasn't to show a connection between them and support for slavery but to link the different radical right wing ideologies that use the confederate flag...

What? By percentage, most members of the KKK fly American flags. Does that mean most white Americans are racists? Most southerners who fly the "Stars and Bars" are not necessarily racists, but proud of their southern heritage. I am telling you that the original meaning of the Confederate flag was about independence from what they perceived to be a federal government intruding on issues that they regarded as "States rights". Today for many it has a sort of rebel appeal....

The radical left is as much of a cancer to this country and the world as the radical right.

I know what it used to stand for, and I know what it stands for now since being co-opted by the KKK and neonazis. Unbridled hatred and racism, and white supremacy.
Spare me the "heritage" nonsense, m'k? Black people also had a heritage from that period, but theirs is a little different than that of the ruling white class at the time, and the ones who want to make you believe it's about "heritage" today.
Google "Confederados" in Brazil. Too; some of those Confederado people would be called "Black" in the US in 2014 and they may even cuss you out for insulting their own Stars and Bars.

My GGGrandfather was a captain in the 2nd Company of the 6th S.C., and fought at the Second Manassas with Stonewall Jackson between two groups from Tennessee. He might cuss me as well, but it wouldn't make him any less wrong in today's context, would it?

This is like discussing anything with liberals.
