you don't want to fix it? Posted on 7/10/15 at 9:01 pm to LewDawg
It gets the job done. It's cool. I may fix it one day when I feel like searching for pics that are the right scale

There's a new # on Twitter #whitegirlsdoitbetter Is that true?
Hashtags can appear on Twitter whenever you want them to but /r/BlackPeopleTwitter is all about how young black men womanize and shite so they would probably promote something like that in order to show off how much side pussy they get.

All Cockopotamus and a few of us are saying is that the Confederate flag is nothing but some colors and stars on a rectangular sheet. The flag has no meaning, no symbology, carries no message and stands for nothing. Any black person who reads something into it is seeing something that isn't there.
A few years ago I saw a big poster featuring a picture of Malcolm X with a quote of his:
“We didn’t land on Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock landed on us.”
I correctly understood that what I saw was nothing but an image of a person with some words underneath the image. The poster had no meaning, the words conveyed no message and the whole thing might as well have been a big blank sheet of paper. In other words, what I was looking at was—nothing.
Why is this so hard for some of you to understand?

Not as long as that racist piece of shite, Barack Obama, is in the White House.

Dude that might have been true until the civil rights movement when southerners took that flag and used it as a symbol and rallying point for straight up racism and if black people see it as exactly that I can't blame them, but yeah it's an inanimate object that really does nothing more than flap in the wind, people fricked it up.

Just repeat after me–and Cockopotomous–:
Words mean nothing. Symbols mean nothing. The Confederate flag means nothing. The swastika means nothing. The ISIS flag means noting. A three-finger salute means nothing. History means nothing. Experience means nothing. Perception means nothing.
Nothing means nothing. Nothing, nothing, nothing.
Now, see how much clearer the world becomes when you see nothing?
Call it the Sgt. Schultz philosophy of life.

Look, it's been a rough year for the SC State House, bruh.
First those danged Aggies show up and hold their First Bi-Annual Desecration Shindig and yell and hoot and holler and stomp all over the place, then they get their losing flag taken down.
Let's cut 'im some slack

So, I guess it'll be ok for white women to cruise through west Jackson to visit the Jackson zoo with their kids once the flag is gone??
I'm not a proponent of the flag in the present day, but this whole thing is about certain white people getting offended by the beliefs of other white people. Political correctness has never been anything more than a copout and liberals always take the bait. I was black, I'd be laughing my arse off at the white people.

Where were all these people that love that flag so much when the kkk and segregationists were flying it in defiance of civil rights? I think your beef is with them and not those that are offended by it today.
Unless you live in or are from Northern Virginia it has absolutely nothing to do with your "heritage". Why wasn't the battle flag of the army of South Carolina chosen to fly over a South Carolina confederate memorial? The fact of the matter is, that flag has garnered it's reputation because of the unspeakable acts done in its name during the civil rights movement and has no place being flown on any government property, anywhere.
You however still have the right to fly that flag, wear it on your shirt or wipe your arse with it. However, I've never seen that flag used in anyway that was not intended to be inflammatory or shocking.

I've made this argument in ever thread about this subject and it falls on deaf ears.

Just trying to figure out what the point of taking the flag down was. Seems like everyone is excited and patting each other on the back for doing nothing constructive.
I wonder if the same thing was spoken back in the 1950's when it was going back up in defiance of the civil rights era?
