Are you posting this to be sarcastic, or do you really want to buy Confederate flags? If it's the latter, cue up a classic "Scalabrine X" tirade in......

WOW!
First off - that's MR. D!ckhead to you, son
Secondly - do I have a problem with you owning a Confederate flag?
apparently you don't read many of my posts.
I say, fly it from the top of your house if you want. Heck, go buy a 1969 Dodge Charger, paint it bright orange, and paint one on the roof if you want...
As far as you "cheering for the South"? Like I said, someone (who scal remain nameless) will be along shortly with a nice healthy tirade for you calling you all sorts of hateful names....
Good Luck Buddy!!!

Do they not make the kids go to school in Canada. The confederate flag (as we know it today) was for the most part not even in existance during the civil war. It was not a symbol for the south, nor a flag at all.
The crossed pattern of the stars was a patch used on different uniforms, etc - but barely known or recognized at all in the period. It was almost a complete non-matter.
During the 1940's through the 1960's our great country went through the civil rights era. In the end, many southern states were told by the US Federal government that they cannot segregate schools, and such. These lawmakers were not so happy being told what they can and cannot do, and that is when they decide to make the confederate flag a symbol of resistance. They started to fly it on state property, etc.
The growth of popularity of the flag did not happen until the civil rights era. It was a big middle finger pointed at Washington DC.
There is nothing to get excited about in terms of the confederate flag in terms of the civil war. It was not the flag of the confederate army. It was and still is a symbol of racist defiance to the feds.
Why would you want to cherish that? Unless you simply disagree with the civil rights movement in whole.

I was kidding about the Canada/school jab... I didn't know about the history of the confed flag until I did some research recently. I used to think it was a harmless statement, but I changed my opinion recently.
I had a confederate flag on the wall of my bedroom when I was a kid cuz I liked the Dukes of Hazard

Yes. But then some folks' point is that you leave the racists with the symbol they have hijacked---almost allowing them to win. Even some blacks support the flag and state as much.

"I'm a white nerd from Canada and I don't have a problem with the confederate flag."Is it because you're Canadian that you don't have a problem with it.
I'd imagine because you aren't Jewish that you don't have a problem with a swastika flag either?
