 A reminder is never a bad thing. People seem to be reaching apathy/normalization mode now, so there really can't be too many reminders of what the deal is.mcgruff10 said:

 Yeah. And depending on your interpretation of history a Nazi flag isn't racist either. I'm never sure what point anyone is trying to make by pointing that out though.mcgruff10 said:

 Not in the context of my analogy it's not.... Or in any other context for that matter. I personally feel they aren't very different at all. The Neo-Nazis seem to agree. They love flying the Confederate flag alongside the Nazi flag. They do that for a reason.mcgruff10 said:

 Sorry - confederate flag represents racism. It did at the time. And it still does today.
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Tappan_ThompsonWilliam Tappan Thompson supported the Confederacy during the American Civil War. In 1863, as the editor of the Morning News, he discussed a variant of a design that would ultimately become the Confederacy's second national flag, which would become known as the "Stainless Banner" or the "Jackson Flag" (for its first use as the flag that draped the coffin of Confederate Lt. Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson.) In a series of editorials, Thompson wrote why he felt the design should be chosen to represent the Confederacy as "The White Man's Flag."- "As a people, we are fighting to maintain the heaven ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race: a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause."
 After the editorial was published, the editor of the Savannah Morning News received a dispatch announcing the senate had adopted the flag Thompson suggested.
 ...I'd say that's pretty f'n clear...not sure how else you would interpret that...0

 "A white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause"That's why it says "he discussed a variant of a design that would ultimately become the Confederacy's second national flag."
