Seems this is the final nail in the coffin for the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia. I would expect this generation will be the first to step up and fight for its removal from any public place.
What say you Getbig, flag of a defeated nation, or a symbol of Southern pride and heritage?
-
Flagnorfail bunch of pussified liberal brainwashing taking place.
-
The South will rise again!
Liberal douches have a need to blame something they don't like for every crime. This time the target is an old flag. LOL. Idiots.
-
The strange thing is that the Republicans are behind wanting to remove it this time.
The dumb white liberals and Republicans have been joining forces a lot these days.
-
They're are also calls for the removal of all state sponsored confederate museums etc. would this mean the Museum of The Confederacy in Appomattox? Could you imagine the already revisionist history on the subject, being wiped out of our books forever?

Isn't that the goal?

Its ridiculous really. Its not even at the request of black people at all. This is all done by white, Republicans and liberals. They started this whole thing of removal. Rick Perry even supports the removal. :-\
-

No. Read "An Un-Civil War". It's a bit over the top on the side of the South, but you get the picture. There is a lot written about the war now that doesn't tell the whole story. I'll try and get a bit more involved in the debate when I get to a computer. I hate typing on a phone.

Being a savvy Northerner... I find our nasty hypocritical tendency to concentrate all-things-racist in confederate symbols a bit irritating at this point.
The North failed to develop large-scale agrarian slavery, such as later arose in the Deep South, but that had little to do with morality and much to do with climate and economy.
There are reports of African Americans in New England farms working in slave-like conditions and not being allowed to leave the farm well into the late 1890s (way after the Civil War). Some even suggest that there REAL slaves in New England in the early 1900s.
So, to my Northern friends: Shove your fake Puritanism up your ass!

I didn't realise that flag was the confederate flag, I'll have to get a new bandana for back day.
-
Phony self righteous pieces of shit like Jon Stewart act like the flag just went yesterday. Yeah, I kind of always considered it a symbol of white pride while being a little obvious Latino kid going to school in an old southern town in the 90s. But so what? They didn't fuck with me so i didn't care. I just wonder when all this p.c. nonsense will come to a head.

Duh, it's because they have a lot in common, and it's not just the Confederate Flag either. I've said this before...ultra far left, is the same as right.

Keep the flag.

Just bought Four more Confederate Flags to add to my collection and to fly outside. ;)

Now, the white towel Kai was flying on his mast is of more interest to me and most getbiggers.

All things considered...that's an epic pic .
Goodrum smiling behind the wheel of the Gen Lee.
TA's ancestors just did a triple Lindy in their graves.
-
Remember the the white towel that Kai Greene used in his video?
They should fly that white towel instead of the confederate flag.
Nothing brings people together like white towel shenanigans.
-
Might as well get rid of Old Glory, too. Killed lots of Injuns under that banner, and it also tolerated slavery for close to a century. Lots of bad shit under her. Indeed, let's focus on these, the most significant impediments.

I don't want the flag being used in any state or federal capacity as its currently being used as a cheap prop. Other than that, I could care less what's on someone's bumper

Fine post, made in the spirit and attitude shared by getbiggers everywhere.
I'd follow that "Kai flag" into any thong battle of flexing, so help me RON.
Now I have a pretty good design for the official flag of getbig nation:
*white towel with a large grapefruit in the center.

This guy has the answers when it comes to racism ;)

Blame guns. Blame the flag. Blame anti-depressants. Blame God. Just don't ever blame the actual people responsible. That would be uncivilized.

So now they're not going to make die-cast toy cars of the General Lee either.
https://www.yahoo.com/autos/general-lee-from-dukes-of-hazzard-losing-its-122294326432.html
Following the move by Walmart, Amazon, eBay and others, and the steps by political leaders in South Carolina, Virginia and elsewhere to remove the flag from state capitols and license plates, Yahoo Autos reached out to Warner Bros. Consumer Products, the branch of the movie studio that licenses toys from the series, asking about the General Lee’s status. This was the official reply:
Warner Bros. Consumer Products has one licensee producing die-cast replicas and vehicle model kits featuring the General Lee with the confederate flag on its roof–as it was seen in the TV series. We have elected to cease the licensing of these product categories
-
The Stars & Bars are simply something the media can easily identify and take an action about. Its not necessarily a white supremacist symbol. I was born raised in the deep south, like hot black chicks but also like the Confederate flag.

Looky now, that pic of Goodrum in the Gen Lee went viral, so the classic car is no longer cool.

I was pretty sure that Warner Bros. said they wouldn't have it on the car after the last movie. It's getting ridiculous too. I don't know a single person black, white, or anything else, that has any hatred for the General Lee as a car. No matter what was on the roof.
Everyone loved that car.
I grew up and graduated high school in an area that had a very high percentage of black kids, and of course they were all my friends, and no one ever cared about the flag on that car.
We all loved The General Lee.
-
Yep, any guy over the age of 30 most likely had a matchbox or hot wheels of it at some point.

Totally Approved.
Did you ever think of the car as racist?
I know I never did... It was just a cool ass car. I get where people think of the flag in the negative light... It is understandable, but on the General Lee, it's just a cool paint job that matched the car.
If there's anything that it should be left on, it's that iconic car.
I get taking it down from government things, that's ok by me... It probably should be.
As far as not selling it and shit, that's crazy. People should sell whatever they want and buy whatever they want... I don't have one, I won't buy one, but that's me... The flag means nothing to me.
I do always look at people who fly it with some amount of interest though... There is definitely something there.
-
In government, it should be left up to each state.
In the private sector, it is not a government matter. I personally do not own one and wouldn't be caught dead wearing one or flying one myself, but it's not something the federal government should try to outlaw from private homes and private businesses like Hillary would do...

Clinton said. "It shouldn't fly there, it shouldn't fly anywhere."
In 5-6 years, the American flag will be outlawed because of militant idiots who insist it too is "racist", and who will shame and intimidate the white guilters into caving in.

Can I ask you why you wouldn`t be caught flying one? Are you scared or something? Do you know what the flag really was and its original intention?
-

Public relations.
I'm aware of the flag's history and am not in any way ashamed of the flag myself. But many people are not aware and have different views, whether rational or not.
I am a small business owner in a pretty small city in the deep south that is about 50/50 black to white where everyone pretty much knows everyone. Having such a flag flying in front of my home or office or even inside my home wouldn't be a good idea as long as I still choose to get up early and make a living in a business that is all about building and maintaining relationships. There's only one color in my line of work, and it ain't black or white.

Don't really consider myself a slave - I could easily retire today. But I still greatly enjoy what I do... and it's very, very rewarding and frankly not that difficult anymore.
I'm a capitalist. Marketing, public relations, image, etc - these things have to matter to just about anyone who does well or expects to do well. If I could have found a way to make a consistent high income year after year without having to care at all about what anyone on earth thinks or how I'm perceived, or without having to follow any rules or regs a decade or 2 ago, perhaps I'd be a little less image-conscious.
As for the Confederate flag itself, that's just really not me and not who I am. I've always known a few people here and there who had flags on their big 4WD pickups with the 350 or bigger engines, the dual exhaust, roll bar, etc, wearing their cowboy hats, wranglers, boots, etc - that's just not me. No more than hiphop or tattoos, piercings, and long hair are me either.
Maybe there are people who fly the flag publicly these days who don't fit those stereotypes. One of my grandfathers flew it along with the American flag outside his house for many years until he died a decade or so ago. But I don't seem to come across any who don't fit the stereotype these days who publicly wear it, fly it outside, or have it on their cars.
I demand the right to fly or wear such a flag, but I don't really have any desire to actually do so whatsoever. And it's not good for business anyway.

He's just being a dick. Easy to point fingers when you don't have a business, clientele, and a professional rep to consider. Sounds like you're doing just fine, sir.

If the confederate flag can fly then so should isis flag fly freely.

TA, would you say this is akin to the David Howard incident in Washington, D.C. in 1999?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/local/longterm/williams/williams020499.htm
For those that don't care to read, this individual was forced to resign because he used the word "niggardly", whose meaning has zero to do with race, and everything to do with being stingy, e.g. in his case, tight with a budget.

Considering today's ignorance and ultra-sensitivity, I don't know, maybe choose a synonym?
Had a history teacher friend get canned for using "Nicaragua" at work. Couple kids didn't like him, so they told their folks and his boss he used something else. Guess he was probationary or something, they let him go.
Yep, that's where we are.

Aren't the intolerant, free speech-hating conservatives coming after these now, too? They say certain novels just aren't fit for consumption anymore. Already calling Huck's pal "Guy Jim" in the revised Finn.
Wait, it's the Republicans, right?

Think they wanna come after these now, too. Certain novels aren't fit for consumption anymore. Pretty sure they're already calling Huck's pal "Guy Jim" in the revised editions.

Back in '91 my high school's flag was the confederate flag. There was a big ole conspiracy started by some of our black students and it garnered media attention and some public outcry. The confederate flag was done away with within a few weeks of the initial outcry of "RACISM!!" and some protesting and local news hype.
Now the high school football team's fight song has been historically been "Dixie" (since the 60's). The marching band played that for every touchdown and team introduction. As I understand it today, prior to the current national media attention about the Confederate flag, the current students of my high school were petitioning to have "Dixie" done away with.....again with the cry of "RACISM"!!
-
Good to know now that its been taken down, we have seen the last of racism, hate crimes, and white supremacist extremists. It truly is the dawning of a new era in peace and love.

i like how they rolled it up like a blunt and handed it to the black guy, who then walked away with it
