The Confederate Flag.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

I'm sorry, but I don't want to hear this "it's part of the southern heritage" crap anymore. It's racist. Pure and simple. Why anyone would want to glorify one of the most shameful moments in American history is beyond me. It blows my mind that so many "liberals" are sitting there defending it as heritage and something to be proud of. The spin that is placed on this topic is unbelievable. I'm sure you've all heard it. "Well, Lincoln said that he would not touch slavery in the South but only didn't want it to extend to the Western states so the civil war was not about slavery." Bull. The southern states didn't want those new Western states to become free states because then congress would have been tipped against them and slavery would be a thing of the past WITHOUT Lincoln having to "touch it". Any way you slice it that flag represents men fighting for the right to own other men.
