    There is no rational, cogent point to argue against.

    "The (((media))) made it a racist symbol because it's associated with a white culture." is historically pig-ignorant, dishonest bullshit. It doesn't need to be argued againt by anyone who actually knows history.

    Please be less stupid.

    You're only saying this because you know you can defend denying this.

    Are you Jewish?

    No, not at all.

    I know history. You do not.

    What you asserted about the flag isn't based in either reality or history.

    Why do you hate yourself for being black?

    If that was true, you wouldn't be trying to change the subject. Or maybe it's because you want the false narrative to continue.

    What you asserted about the flag isn't based in either reality or history.
    Oh? So the flag has always been used to represent racism? It hasn't be used as a symbol of the South for the last few decades.

    That is where you are mistaken. When people stomp, tear, burn the American flag they are not trying to intimidate or anger you. They are expressing their grievance with the government which is their right under the constitution. Yes it pisses some off but that in not the primary intent. So to compare the two is like comparing apples and oranges.

    I'm not changed the subject. I made the observation that you lied about the media and the history of the flag.

    Since making that observation, you've simply brayed irrelevancies.

    I wish you wouldn't hate yourself for being black.

    Today, Southerners don't own slaves, and that's all I care about. I don't think Southerners should be criticized for what their ancestors did a hundred years ago.
    Move to Germany and fly a Nazi flag using that argument!

    That's irrelevant to anything that I've posted, simp.

    The point is that the 'media' didn't make it a racist symbol. It's always been one.

    Wishy-washy would have been a "no and no" answer. I don't try to let the state of Mississhitty off the hook by claiming that the flag is racist, but not the state and people who run it.

    A state government flying one on public property is transmiting an insulting message to many of its black citizens by paying homage to a rebel army fighting to defend a Slave economy. Most seem to forget that flag is the confederate battle standard .
    GREAT IDEA

    confederate flag toilet paper would SELL
