The Confederate Flag

Ok now. I know it has been a month since my last post. Life goes on.

Something that we have discussed in one of my classes, and I have discussed with other people in the past is: the confederate flag. Don't know what it is?

That's what it is. So beautiful right?

WRONG!

This is an ugly-ass flag. That is my first concern regarding this topic. First of all 19th century white men, we get it, you didn't have Betsy Ross or Tim Gunn to tell you your design was shit. I guess I shouldn't call it shit, but I mean when comparing it to the American flag it just looks so ugly. Super patriotic nationalist moment coming up: our flag is pretty great. So is our national anthem. So is our cheese. So are our movies. I like America, I like other places too.

But back to my point, the US flag is better than the confederate flag and makes it look like shit.

Next point, the implications and meanings of the flag are rude. Rebels use it to show other rebels how rebellious they are. Everyone who doesn't appreciate the flag just thinks they're a racist. I get it, the Civil War wasn't just about slavery and the oppression of a whole group of people... but that's what a majority of people think of.

I'd prefer this flag.

The sad thing is, they probably are racist. I mean when you hang balls from your pick-up truck (that the only thing you use to pick up is some milk for your mom) and talk with a Southern accent even though you live in New England and no one in your family has lived in the South ever.

-_-

Now I'm just passing judgment on people. Sorry. I'm a judgmental skeeze. You might love the confederate flag. You might want to be buried in it and get it tattooed in between your butt cheeks. That's fine, but I'm not digging it.

Much love.
