Fuck the Confederacy
STUPID BUMBLING REDNECK NEIGHBORHOOD, THE SOUTH -- I have a moron of a neighbor. Well, I have tons of moronic neighbors. This is about one in particular, the stupid fuck with the confederate flag over his doorway.
He claims it is an expression of "southern pride."
Let me put it in terms that nascar watching, cousin fucking retards can understand...
IT AIN'T ABOUT SOUTHERN HERITAGE, YOU STUPID FUCK!
Black Southerners
Consider the black southerner... yes, y'all call them "niggers." The rest of us call them "people." There are a HELL of a lot of Black people who are "southern." In fact, I'd bet that most African American families go back further than the birth of most of the "southern" states. So... lets not call it "Southern" heritage. It is "White Southern Heritage." Because I have yet to see a black man wave a confederate flag, no matter how proud of his heritage he may be.
White Southern heritage... lets get it straight.
Before I go any further that I'll say that I support this stupid fuck's *legal* right to fly the KKK flag on his house. And if you, dear reader, think that you have a right to fly the White Southern Pride flag on your house, your land, your car, your boat, tattooed on your back, or just carried in your hand anywhere you like, well dag-gum, you're right!
But that doesn't exempt you from being called a stupid fuck. (you stupid fuck).
Southern Heritage - What Bullshit
Lets talk a little bit about Southern heritage. First, read your history... lets go way back to the revolution. If the southern pride contingent had its way, we'd still be part of the United Kingdom. Aside from Virginia, the southern states contributed more headaches to the war for independence than fleas on a pig pickin. Yep, they started off as traitors. Tories. Loyalists. Fucking monarchists.
Aaaah... southern pride.
To appease the "southern pride" folks, the continental army (you know, the one that fought for our freedom from England) was forced to kick all of its African American soldiers out, and to not recruit any more. Southern pride... nice heritage y'all got there.
Did you know that the FIRST casualty of the revolutionary war was a black man? Crispus Attucks. But, because of the pre-rednecks in the south, Mr. Attucks wouldn't have been welcome in the Continental Army. His blood was good enough to fertilize the soil of liberty, but his brother wouldn't have been welcome in the South Carolina militia (nor good enough to drink from a water fountain in Jacksonville).
Southern heritage, mmm mmmm goood....
The Civil War (YOU LOST, GET OVER IT!)
The white supremacist flag that you stupid redneck fucks say is an expression of "southern pride" is the flag of a group of traitors. They raised arms against the United States of America, and were responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans. So, it isn't just a racist symbol... prior to that it was the symbol of a group of traitors against the United States. Remember John Walker Lindh? He was the idiot kid from California who went to jail for 20 years for carrying buckets of water to the Taliban. He never even killed anyone. Yet the entire white south (ok, most of it) says that the flag of organized traitors is an expression of pride.
It wasn't even the real flag of the Confederacy.
This traitor symbol was actually not even the flag of the confederacy, but was rather the naval jack, and (I believe) the flag of one of the armies of South Carolina. This was never the official flag of the confederacy. There is no actual "history" associated with the St. Andrew's Cross flag, unless you count the Dukes of Hazzard's General Lee car as a part of y'all's hertitage. (Which you "Larry the Cable Guy" worshipping cunts do...).
Its the Civil Rights movement, Stupid.
Prior to the civil rights movement, there was no palpable concept of "southern heritage" expressed by symbols of the Confederacy. Mississippi incorporated the Confederate St. Andrew's Cross into its flag early on (before 1900), but the next state to do so was Georgia -- which did so as a reaction to Brown v. Board of Education. You know, the case that said that black kids were entitled to an equal education. Damn closed-minded yankee liberal courts!
Other southern states followed suit as southern disgust grew in reaction to integration being "forced" upon them by the Supreme Court and the Federal Government.
Today, that flag is the preferred banner of white supremacists, neo-Nazis and hate mongers, and that is how virtually all African Americans see it.
I stand in solidarity with them.
The whole concept of southern heritage came to light just as America was ensuring African Americans their constitutional rights, embracing desegregation, and tearing down the KKK - a vicious terrorist organization.
Coincidence? I think not.
I am very supportive of any expression of pride in one's heritage. I myself am a proud Italian American of Sicilian extraction. I've even tattooed the crest of Sicily on my shoulder, and display Italian symbols proudly in my home and on my vehicles. Nevertheless, I have never (nor would I) displayed the battle flag of Mussolini's army, nor any symbol that is associated with the Sicilian version of the KKK -- the mafia. There is enough room for pride in one's heritage without also embracing hate, ignoble history, traitors, racists, and fascists.
To continue the heritage discussion -- I agree that the Confederacy was not *only* about the perpetuation of slavery -- although that was pretty much what it was about.
Nevertheless, I agree that states' rights were an important issue. In fact, I even agree with the right of the confederate states to secede, and I believe that Lincoln was wrong for forcibly bringing the south back into the union. With that as a backdrop, if the confederacy was about states' rights, then wouldn’t the historical pride of any southerner be more properly expressed by the flag of his or her individual state? When confederate soldiers fought, they fought for their *state*, not their new nation. Even Robert E. Lee expressed his loyalty to Virginia when he joined the traitor army -- not his loyalty to yet another strong federal authority.
Even the confederacy didn't consider itself to be a cohesive entity. You needed a PASSPORT to travel between the southern states during its four years of existence!
Yet now, the whole south is bound together by a common heritage? Oh, wait, the whole WHITE south.
This concept of "southern pride" is simply a vestige of resistance to the civil rights movement. Honestly, what does a Floridian not have in common with someone from New Hampshire, as far as their heritage may come into play? Does someone from South Carolina actually have a shared heritage with someone from Texas that he does not share with someone from Montana? No... it is a myth, a fabrication, and revisionist history.
The bottom line is that this symbol was born from the womb of traitors and treason. It grew up to become a bigot and a hate-monger. Despite any valid claims to some racially neutral meaning, it does not stand for that.
If anyone wishes to proudly (stupidly) display this symbol, I support the RIGHT to do so - so strongly that I would do anything to keep the authorities from taking it down. You have a constitutional right to express anything you like.
But it doesn't exempt you from being told that you are a fucking moron.
And that doesn’t change the fact that this symbol, even if it was unfairly co-opted, (like the swastika, which was not always a symbol of the Nazis), it stands today as a symbol of bigotry, hate, and fear.
Remember that the next time you hear some ignorant fuck proclaim the stars n' bars as a symbol of his "southern" heritage. (that is, if he can take his dad's dick out of his mouth long enough to say anything).
