Thoughts about "Confederate Flag" being banned
« on: June 25, 2015, 07:05:39 pm »
So the Dixie battle flag AND NOT the Confederate flag as some people call it,has been banned. I would like to hear the NaS community's thoughts on this matter. I believe it is a disrespect for everyone that fought sporting that very flag. Apparently in today's US free speech is only allowed when it is "Politically correct" and just because a psychopath killed 9 people the flag has to be banned and a historical element of a nation has to be removed....

Well, as this is a touchy topic, I don't really want to say much about it. Living in the US right now with everything that has happened recently, the Confederate flag deal has really been emotional for some people. The media has really made the situation worse than it already is. I understand both side's views on the matter, but as a supporter of the Union, I'm with the removal of it. It stands for another country, not America today, but when the country was divided. When we weren't united as one, but when brother vs brother fought for what they believed in. As some people have mentioned before, it would be like the Nazi Germany flag being flown in Germany today.

Hmmm,fair enough.  I agree with you as it is quite a touchy topic with a lot of propaganda involved from every side in my opinion. I don't really support it being compared with the Nazi flag,they had different causes,beliefs and the Nazi's committed their fair share of War crimes and crimes against humanity. I just can't see they are compared.

I think the thought of banning the flag is just ridiculous. If I had a Mexican flag and went and murdered a group of people are we going to ban that flag too?

I'm not for banning the flag, as I don't really like the idea of the government suppressing the spirit of rebellion in the US, but I'm not really a fan of the confederacy and I think that the flag inherently represents a society of oppression under slavery. Obviously most people who live in the south and support the memory of the confederacy are not pro-slavery, but it's just sort of problematic to me imo that the flag of a country which supported slavery so heavily that it was willing to break away from its mother country is honored on a daily basis without the blink of an eye.

tl;dr I support the confederacy as a self-deterministic breakaway state, but not for what it stood for.

Like Ultimate General. I quite honestly think this whole banning could have been avoided and it would be for the best.

Ban all flags so people don't get offended.

If we're banning the confederate flag we may as well ban the American flag, and all other flags too.
