Should I throw away any reminder of my K-10th days? Because it's all covered in the stars and bars.

Meaning, I wouldn’t lose sleep over it either way. To some, it represents slavery and oppression in a country that was born to grant the rights, liberties, and freedoms others condemned.

To be honest, the only people I see flying the confederate flag proudly, are trashy as frick, and a complete embarrassment to what that flag actually does stand for.

I don't get the "in your face" trailer trash that wave the Rebel flag, I think they're way down on the food chain in general, on the other hand, I don't think we should try to erase someone's heritage either

ETA: 50 stars and 13 bars mister! drop and give me 50!!!

I think you are older than I am but it certainly wasn't really taboo in the little town that I grew up in back in the 80s. I'm fairly indifferent towards it but immediately branding someone as a racist over it is a reach too imo.

I think we are in agreement, I'm probably just not being clear

I'm black and my opinion about the flag is...that I don't care. It's never bothered me, Ive shared drinks with people with rebel flags hung in their garage and they were ok in my book.


We could drink beer together.

But why is it that I see the flag waving in poorer, or lower income areas but never in higher income areas?



Probably because of the blowback that the middle and upper class face. Poor people have less to lose with their careers.

Just my guess. Enjoy the game.

Meh... It's like a face tat. I assume the person with one is ignorant and trashy (and likely racist with respect to the rebel flag flyer). The individual could surprise, but my experience is he/she won't.

As a South Louisiana guy, I've never been called a redneck by someone from North Louisiana

You aren't totally inaccurate either

ETA - thought you were from Shreveport 777?
