Legacy Fan Posted August 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Nobody's comparing 2 flags. I'm pointing out that the notion a flag is responsible for murder is absurd. Maybe I'm expecting too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm expecting too much? Oh so you were not trying to compare the situations in SC and Virgina? Where there was an out cry over the confederate flag. My bad guess I read to much into your original statement. Flags are symbols, if people started using the Rainbow flag as a symbol of hate\aggression I could see an argument for removing it, kinda like you never see the swastika even though it has more uses than Nazism.

The Cysko Kid Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I got it. Blaming a flag, even the confederate flag is stupid and pointless. Side note I went to the erie county fair two weeks ago and the confederate flag was everywhere. The black people didn't seem all that offended.

Clevfan4life Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Ought to be hard at work seeking to ban the Rainbow Flag since the Roanoke shooter was gay. I mean this *has* to happen, right? Does the rainbow flag have the history that the confederate flag did? Was the rainbow flag institutionally flown over a group of oppressed and enslaved people? And I thought it was a cool flag and maybe we could just forget about the past and let it fly, but then i"m not black and live on streets in the south still named after some of the most utterly heinous human beings that walked this land. I would rather them have dropped some of the statues, streets and various other honoraries of some truly despicable human beings no matter the era...than drop the flag. Would have liked to see them take a mulligan on that flag and start over with it....but that wasn't my call and frankly my, or anyone else's opinion here, doesn't matter. When the rainbow flag ever comes to symbolize oppression and enslavement i'll be all for it to be taken down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slavery was a poor institution but your characterization of southerners as some of the most heinous people that walked this earth is pretty naive and just plain out wrong. History is absolutely filled with much more atrocious ways of being than the South even during the height of slavery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your last statement were true dickhead, then you could call any flag flying today belonging to a nation that participated in slavery "a symbol of oppression", including the stars and stripes. Go ahead, tell me I'm bad at reading comprehension again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
