"It's a symbol of racism and hatred," said John Battle, president of the Dodge County NAACP.

After trying for years to resolve the matter and getting nowhere, the NAACP retained an attorney who sent a letter last week to the board of commissioners asking them to stand by the original resolution, passed in 2002, allowing the annual display.

On Monday, the board met in a closed session and decided, in a vote taken at their public meeting afterward, to keep the flag up 365 days a year.

The American flag is much more responsible for slavery than the Confederate flag.

I don't see tha "black racist" NAACP complaining about that.
 
The Confederate flag is a symbol of ignorance, bigotry, and hypocrisy. With that in mind, it seems quite fitting for a Southern state/county to fly it. :)
 
Is the confederate flag racist?

In: US Civil War, Society, Flags [Edit categories]

No, the Confederate flag does not represent and never has represented racism. It is a symbol of southern heritage, representing freedom, states rights, individual responsibility, and resistance to an out of control federal government.
It may be true that some racists have used the Confederate flag, but racists also wave the American flag. Consider this: No slave ship ever sailed from a Confederate port or under a Confederate flag. On the contrary, virtually every American slave ship was from either New York or one of the New England states and they all sailed under the United States Flag. Also, at the time of the American Civil War, slavery had been practiced in every state and colony in America and was still being practiced in several northern states, under the Stars and Stripes, even during the War Between the States.
Ulysses S. Grant, commanding general of the United States Army during the Civil War was a slave holder. Robert E. Lee, commander of the Confederate Army, was against slavery. The Confederate constitution outlawed the slave trade and Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America, proposed a plan to end slavery altogether. There were more free blacks, and also more abolitionists, in the South than in the North. Also, tens of thousands of black soldiers fought for the Confederate States of America in a war which they considered a second American revolution, "War for Southern Independence.
"
Unfortunately racist groups have used the Confederate flag in recent years, but those same groups, especially the Ku Klux Klan, have historically used the American flag for a much longer period of time.
The truth is, neither the American Flag nor the Confederate Flag is racist. If people who are racists fly either flag, that does not mean the flag itself represents racism.

The Confederate Flag represents treason, which is enough of a reason to hate it.

That's because you were not born, & raised in the south.

You may have another opinion if you were.

You do mean that it would also be treason for the USA to leave the United Nations.

And that the United Nations has a right to bring war to the USA to make us stay in.

With all the raping & taking of property that would come with that.

Don't you?

You do realize that this is what you're saying?

Most people in the south see no difference between the NAACP, and the KKK.

They both also wave the American flag when it serves their criminal causes.

No difference, eh?

Then tell everyone how many white people the NAACP has strung up from a tree since the inception of the group?

You're led to believe a lie if you think the KKK is a big deal here in the south.

I've only met one in my life and I told him to go screw himself. And that was in the 80's.

Why don't we talk about how union members, especially in the north, who have turned out to be marxist. Communist.
