Confederate flags are banned from CMA country music festival, officials announce

[Taichiliberal]

Which is part of why it is not allowed. The other part is that Southern culture must go away, it is a problem for the WOKE Revolution which is so clearly out to destroy America.

The revisionist tainted BS that you right wing wonks shovel to deny the racism and bigotry that comes with the Confederate flag is extraordinary.

You seem to think that using the buzz word "woke" justifies any clap trap you share with your like minded brethren. Pity for you that history is always available to be your foil.

A symbol that IGNORES the horrors and disgusting institution of slavery, which was the physical backbone of Southern agricultural power, is NOT consistent with American values. Only racist propagandist can categorize resistance and attacks against the heinous symbology of the Confederate flag as "un-American". This is why that stupid flag shows up at white supremacist/KKK/alt-right/insurrection/oather/proud boy rallies and such. This is why sane, rational institutions and government officials are starting to remove these symbols from their "honorary" places/positions in our society.

My great grandfather fought for the North in the Civil War. My father in WWII. I have no ill wills against the South or their culture. The Civil War is over, and it seems that the South has become more "American" than the large cities up here in the North. That is sad...

The South was a threat, so it was destroyed.

They seem to be banning this rag, just about everywhere nowadays?!!

[FONT=&]One of the biggest country music festivals has put its boot down: No more Confederate flags.

The Country Music Association added “Confederate flag imagery of any kind” to the prohibited items list at the upcoming CMA Fest in Nashville, Tennessee.

The four-day festival is scheduled June 9-12 after a two-year postponement during the COVID-19 pandemic, the association announced online.

The association said the decision to ban Confederate flag imagery was an updated part of the policy to protect the safety of fans, according to a statement obtained by The Tennessean.

“This year’s CMA Fest is our first major fan-facing event in nearly three years. We have always had policies in place that protect the safety of our fans and ban discrimination, but we felt it was important to further refine our language to explicitly outline what will and will not be tolerated,” the CMA said in the statement, according to The Tennessean.

“In line with our first CMA Fest lineup announcement in early April, our event policy was published on our website, which states any behavior that causes one of our attendees to fear for their personal safety will not be tolerated, and that is inclusive of any displays of the Confederate flag.”

Actually, CONfederate flags or rags are not fit to be used as two day old toilet paper.

The South wasn't destroyed, it was defeated in the attempt to keep this country whole. The "woke" want to divide this country into groups that hate this country and us white men. When they push us too far and take away our freedoms, they are in for a rude awakening.

I am talking about what has been done to the South since the 60's....by what we now call the WOKE Cult.

Harassed demeaned and strangled.

Not just the South, it's being done to all us America loving citizens. Look at the hatred from the far left, they come from the South too. Banning flags, changing school and sports team names, etc. They are evil, hateful slugs determined to divide and destroy this great nation. They must be defeated at the voting polls. If not, they WILL be defeated when they try to disarm us.

that was my entire point Walt.

Based on their choice of words, CMA is not acknowledging this meaning they dont know or care about WHY they are doing this.
Or maybe they just dont think blacks or white virtue signalers are clever enough to see this.
Piss poor optics.

Or maybe Blacks see a meaning in the flag you have forgotten? You do know the supposed Confederate Flag was not the Confederate Flag. It is the KKK flag, and is meant as a threat to kill any Black who tries to get freedom.

 

[Whythink]

It appears the alt leftie malcontent s can't deal with the past. Let's all hold hands and erase our history.

The Confederate Flag is hate speech. It is equal to the swastika.
A private organization banning it is a good move. Smart and calculated.
There business model is likely strong enough to survive without hate-filled, anti-American, dumb asses.

I agree but the difference between us is, I understand it is still history whether we like it or not.

Yes, it's so sad when bigots and racist are harassed.

Geez you are so horrible.

The flag used to be a happy symbol of southern culture. The rednecks perverted it, however. They started brining it to their KKK and other ws rallies. THEY perverted it. So now THEY need to give it up.

Oh.. also there were several of them at the Capitol on 1/6. It's all about white fear to them. That's what this is all about.

IT DIDN'T USED TO BE! I need to reiterate.. before the Klan and the Proud Boys got ahold of it and twisted it, it was fine. I remember watching Dukes of Hazzard. The flag bothered NO ONE then. Shit the car was named after Lee.. one of the most awful people who ever lived.

Nope. It's not us "woke" folk that ruined the flag - it was THEM!!!

Owning slaves is history. So is preventing women from voting. So is making people of color use separate restrooms... you want to start doing all that? Like you said, "it's history".

Oh.. one more thing..

ZERO AND THREE, YOU TINY VAGINA!!! WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW0OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

woo!

zero for three.

Your childish name calling belies your repetitive challenged that was already addressed in the chronology of the posts. My response above settles this, your insipid stubbornness non-withstanding.

Now what you will do is just ignore what has transpired and Go for it.

The OP shows that the CMA officials finally had their "come to Jesus" moment. Pity YOU and your like minded brethren refuse to.

So you still don't have the balls to quote where I said slaves were traitors? Why am I not surprised, little pussy?

Thanks for doing EXACTLY as I said you would do. Now you can take your widdle Confederate rag and wipe your butt with it.

Say goodnight, Gracie.
