The problem with that dumb explanation is twofold:
1) It implies the people who wave that flag for "southern pride" are ignoramuses and dumbasses, in which case I think it's an even stronger case to ban it and burn it.
2) You've already said it represents slavery, so trying to make the flag about something else erases the history you are so adamant we protect.
What a fucking idiot.

I'm assuming we have plenty of Union monuments as well.
The way the Germans handled the aftermath of WW2 with Nazi monuments is they put them in museums and other contexts where people were able to learn about them. They also didn't tear down all of the concentration camps. If they had, then German culture wouldn't likely be as cognizant of their dark past.
Compare how the Germans have moved on to how Japanese Imperialist nostalgia has risen. Japan did basically downplay their dark past, and they've lurched back towards some of that mindset.
If we completely erased Confederate monuments and such, we'd probably actually see a rise in Confederate sentiments eventually, instead of an understanding of past mistakes and struggles.
This sophistry is not clever.
Meanwhile., Trump just handed unemployed farmers $30B to buy their votes after ruining their businesses with the Trade War. That bailout is more than double the auto bailout.They still have you just different circumstances now you are in the urban city setting and get payed to vote for them to hand out just enough to keep you from dying, while not working.
You're the one who wet his pants over a logo being changed.It's your life continue to be a victim if you desire. Go get a good job and make something out of yourself quit bitching about flags.

How? How is the Confederate Flag history? You're the one who first said it represents slavery, but then you decide to erase that history by saying it represents something else now.
So you erased history when you changed the representation of that dumb flag.
Congratulations for doing the thing you hysterically accuse others of doing.

OK, so what you just described there is erasing history because you're attributing what that flag represents to something different than what it originally did.
By making this dumb excuse, you're arguing that we should erase the history of that flag to make you feel better for flying it.
What a fucking hack.

A lack of awareness makes repeated mistakes more likely.
Think about how science works. We learn from experimentation. Sometimes, we make actions that fail or have an undesirable outcome. If we didn't record failures or bad outcomes, then we'd probably make the same bad decisions over and over again.
Those should be the only ones we have. Losers don't need participation trophies.
Right, but the difference with this is that you and your ilk, like Wolverine, are erasing the history of that flag to make it represent something different than what it did.The way the Germans handled the aftermath of WW2 with Nazi monuments is they put them in museums and other contexts where people were able to learn about them. They also didn't tear down all of the concentration camps. If they had, then German culture wouldn't likely be as cognizant of their dark past.
So you accuse us of wanting to erase history by removing monuments and flags, even though the Articles of Secession still exist and can be read by anyone to teach history, while you erase the history of the flag by pretending it represents something else.
You don't even realize you're doing that because you're stupid.

What a load of horseshit.
Complete and total crap.
They ban the Nazi flag in Germany, but no one forgets who the Nazis were and are.
You want to erase history by pretending the Confederate Flag means something new than what it had represented before.
Why are you so adamant about erasing history?
