I read all your posts. And i still cant fathom how you think people should "interpret" something that was already interpreted into a cloth when it was made.
everyone wants to ignore the ideals of what that cloth represented... and it was more than a "southern pride" thing.
Davis meant it to be the flag of the New World Order to being in the south.
how can anyone defend that piece of shyt flag and say it wasnt created frm a hateful superior mindset.
Maybe now it means something different, but thats like me saying i should rethink the NAZI flag and make the swastika mean somethin else.
Then your comprehension of my points is piss poor. I'm not telling anyone to interpret anything a certain way, my point is that there are many reasons for why someone feels a certain way about a symbol, and that's on them.
The Nazi flag was the symbol of the nazi party. It's not an offensive symbol, but because it's associated with radical neo-nazism and genocide and war and all that shyt, it becomes a horrible symbol.
The original swastika by itself is not an offensive symbol whatsoever.
As far as the national CSA flag and its derivatives, you're implying I'm defending the circumstances in which it was created. I am not. I am defending other people's freedom to honor it. I'm simply respecting the view that some people hold about a symbol, that again, is open to interpretation, because again, there are many interpretations as it is a symbol.
How Davis viewed the flag is different from how many others may have perceived it. N
Some people see the flag many of us honor as an offensive, disgusting symbol. Your entire world view is different from mine, and vice-versa. Our experiences, our upbringing—everything shapes how we perceive something as innocuous as a shape with colors and stars and shyt on it.
If someone chooses to honor a symbol without hurting me or my family, I believe they should be free of persecution of any kind.
