(Anonymous) 2009-01-20 03:29 am (UTC)(link)Are you fucking serious, dude? That is not the same at all, not even a little bit. What you don't seem to be able to grasp is that circumstance is everything. If Mexicans had enslaved Americans all while flying their flag, you better fucking believe that that is what people are going to continue to think of when they see it. That's what it represents, whether you like it or not. Something just doesn't stop having extremely negative connotations just because you want it to. You may think it means 'oh hai, this is southern pride' but to everyone else the Confederate flag means something else entirely. So yeah, fly your Confederate flag all you want but don't be surprised when you get shit for it, and don't self-righteously whine about it because you're such a victim, people won't let you put up a Confederate flag in your dorm room, boo hoo. (Careful, your privilege is showing.)
It's about pride for the history you came from.
Yes. The history of SLAVERY. That means ENSLAVING PEOPLE. When people see a Confederate flag, they think of SLAVERY, and rightly so.
Everyone deserves that right, and I'm sick of being told that I don't because certain aspects of that history bothers people like you.
Yes. Certain aspects of history, like SLAVERY, bother "people like me." You know, people who aren't bitter assholes with entitlement issues.
You can say it's just a flag all you want, and it's not what people think it means so you can wave it because you're not trying to be disrespectful, you're just showing pride of where you came from, blah de fucking blah. But symbols change and take on a meaning of their own, whether you like it or think it's fair or not. Take the swastika. Nazis chose to use that as their official emblem, even though it was originally used as a symbol meaning good luck. That's not what it means today, obviously. You can draw that somewhere and claim you mean to say 'good luck' because that's what it was originally meant for your culture. That does not make it ok.
You can't redeem a symbol with good intentions, or just because you 'don't mean it the way people think you mean it.'
