Civil War museum gets rid of Confederate flag on new logo

Some repetition of history is inevitable. That doesn't mean we shouldn't at least try to learn from it.

if the episode in history failed miserably, we should learn from it and never do it again.................that's not hard to figure out

[Mason Melchizedek]

It was a part of the museum, why are people so butt hurt by that flag. I would say most don't even see it as celebrating slavery, more their pride in the south!

That applies to Southern whites,Blacks look at it as slavery banner.Yankees look at as Treason flag!

[Mason Melchizedek]

So is burning a queer flag!

That falls under hate crime.

How can we repeat something no one knows about?

It's not our fault you flunked history 101

[Mason Melchizedek]

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.

We have the second Confederate President

Look man, if you can't keep your argument straight, that's not my problem.

You say one thing, then erase it to say another.

By saying the flag now represents being a redneck piece of shit, you erase the history of the flag that represents slavery.

You can't have it both ways.

Wait so being a redneck is bad, why is that, as long as they work hard, and pay taxes that pay for your food stamps, you should thank them, they work hard they play hard. You are a Black Bigot!

During the Civil war that flag was representative of the Democrat Southerners who wanted to keep slavery, that was bad! Now for most it does not represent that, for better or worse people fly it I wouldn't, I am not from the South! Why don't you just mind your own business like I do with the queer flag!

Free Speech! Not one person was hurt. Ya can't just decide what free speech is, based on sexual orientation that is some serious B.S. Unequal protection and all. In my opinion burning the American flag is a hate crime!

The supreme court doesn't care what your uneducated opinion is.
Americans have the right to protest,the government,the flag represents the government.
Burning a Rainbow Flag,because you hate gays,is a hate crime!

So, I checked the Bible for references to rainbows and whatever it is they represent, and here's what came up:

Genesis 9:12-13: And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

Genesis 9:16: When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”

So rainbow doesn't represent anything for you...it represents God's connection to every living creature on the earth.

Nothing about sexuality. In fact, it has nothing to do with you.

So it would seem you are once again erasing history by pretending the rainbow represents something to Christians that is different from what's in the scripture.

Hoist, meet petard.

The fact that you do not see the connection is not at all surprising! You need to go get a job so that the first time you ran off at the mouth someone could teach you some manners! Oh, and so I can stop supporting you! You are just really angry, because no one taught you to fend for yourself, because I guarantee you grew up in the ghetto, blaming whitey for everything wrong with you,, and for your Father knocking up your Mom because she put out and, then abandoned her. Now I am finished with you grow up and go get that job at Mcdonalds!

B.S special treatment not one person is hurt! I do not hate gays! I do think they have mental issues, and I am right about that, most were abused sexually or otherwise and have issues. The Supreme Court is not perfect take Baby Murder for instance

Context is entirely dependent on the viewer though. One cannot control how another interprets something.

The Democrat Party?

I suppose you think no one is hurt when someone burns a cross in their yard!Just freedom of religion to people like you.
Most people that are gay,are that way because they are attracted to people of their own sex,period.
