re: (Other Side) Powdered Alcohol

I sure was hoping this thread would die a lot sooner than now, but in light of this fact I would just like to make a few points about the flag picture I posted and what I feel it currently represents for people today in the present.

The Confederate Battle Flag portion:

The flag, far from being an artifact of the state's Civil War heritage, was introduced in 1956 (in a bill cosponsored by a man named Jefferson Lee Davis) as an act of defiance against the civil rights movement. It replaced the state's original flag, a version of the first Confederate national flag (the "Stars and Bars"), with a banner incorporating the much more familiar (and inflammatory) "Southern Cross" of the Confederate battle flag (a blue St. Andrew's cross with white stars against a red background).

Nazi symbol:

As it is predominantly used today by Neo-Nazi hate groups and the Ku Klux Klan of today. It's just one of many symbols but assuredly the most widely reconizable as you can see below in the reference link.

The white middle finger symbol is self described and binds the total package together in making a point.

I might have supported the original posting with this 'tid bit of info as I guess social studies is a forgotten subject and one which is Gone with the Wind. Bad pun sorry.
