[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tahna Los: [QB] One person's flag is another person's pain. Yes, I would believe that the Confederate Flag is a symbol of pain and suffering for the blacks. But it does not justify what those kids did. The article states that he was never a racist. Yet he was made to look like one. And he never wore a shirt that stated "Blacks must die". If he did, then, yes, he may have been "Asking for it". But it STILL doesn't make those kids any less liable for the beating. So fine. Let's get rid of the Confederate Flag because it is a symbol of slavery. While we're at it, let's get rid of the Japanese flag because it is a symbol of savagery inflicted by the Japanese during WWII. Let's get rid of the Chinese flag because it is a symbol of oppression and the Tiennamen Massacre. And gosh darn it, let's get rid of the Canadian Flag because it is a symbol of annoyance to the American people (damn Canadians). The Only exception is the Nazi Flag. Reason being is that it was the brainchild of the Party itself. The Confederate flag was the brainchild of the colonists living in North America long before the Civil War, and to what I have heard, long before the US existed. I don't think that the Confederate Flag was intended to represent slavery. And yes, I do understand how the Blacks feel about the flag. It will take time for all the pain inflicted in the past 300 years to subside. [/QB][/QUOTE]
