Civil War Erupts in Classroom over Confederate Flag Pottery Project
- Funny
- Offensive
Potter Burn
As for Bridgette, she maintained that she has “no sympathy for racists.” She went so far as to welcome any forthcoming punishment should school administrators decide to discipline her saying in a Twitter thread that’s since gone viral:
“The “worst” thing that can happen is that I get suspended I’ll happily take that lol……They’re probably gonna call the girl up too and tell me to apologize… nope I’m going to educate her about her “views.””
The overwhelming response remained one of support with congratulatory memes and messages praising the young “hero” filling her mentions.

Wasn’t meant to be offensive lol
While she shouldn’t have sent the project to the floor, why in God’s name did a “civil war” erupt over this?
Offense value: lost. At least with me. I find the picture quite funny myself (especially living in one of the more snowy regions of Canuck-land)
I don’t agree with her destroying someone else’s property. Perhaps she should have talked to the girl first.
What’s that thing rasict trump supporters love to say….. Oh yeah ” you lost get over it snowflake!”
Yep. That’s what I say! Sad to know I’m a racist . . .?
Wow, they do a good job. I tried pottery once. It was sad
Exactly.
Stupid bitch. She’d be in the hospital barely clinging to live feed of she did that to me.
I bet she’d kick your ass with no effort on her part.
Stars and Stripes….dont like it….leave this country.
Might as well make an ISIS flag….just another terrorist group that attempted to destroy our country
The confederacy LOST! That’s why its stupid and offensive to people. Slavery was a part but the southern losers refuse to acknowledge that their flag is a symbol of a failed attempt to leave this country. They lost and their flag is offensive to all those who died stopping them.
If your white you’re automatically racist in the eyes of all blacks and if your black it’s not possible to be racist because your black. Those have been the rules in America for a few years now.
Just a few?
For those too chickenshit to call someone a nigger we have the confederate flag!
Maybe she shouldn’t have smashed it, but if somebody is that big of a fucking racist asshole or just that completely stupid to make that fucking box then tough shit.
Please look up the definition of the word racist….education vs mass hysteria goes along way
Also, look up the true confederacy and what that flag actually means.
Wrong Arthur
Kerry being British isn’t an issue it’s that, to use your words, you are a “stupid slut.” Just saying ignorant shit like “look it up” doesn’t mean anything. You are such a stupid slut that even if you have actually read the definition you clearly have no comprehension of it.
Same for dipshit Tony. Actual historians and scholars have shown what the civil war was about using the Southern States own laws and words, hence what the flag symbolizes. It’s meaning as a symbol is even moreso then what the meaning of the word thug is relation to blacks. It’s the chickenshit way of saying nigger.
I’m British and even I know this stupid slut needs to pay more attention to history and maybe less time on social media listening to all this “racist” bullshit, no one of them even knows the meaning of the word, too dumb to look it up in a dictionary clearly
Should of smashed hshould of smashed her face then
A common THOT vandal.
You don’t get to destroy some one else’s property just because you don’t like it.
Ohhhhhhh the irony lol
It’s not ironic. I don’t agree with it on any level
Trying to see the irony…
Absolutely true.
Stefanie Defgh tötet es bevor es eier legt ….
Disliking the confederate flag is just like disliking the swastika
Both have a different history but is only seen from when bad people used it
I wish someone would break my flag in my front yard.
You asked for it

Like this so it can be top comment
Dude has a right to be rebellious
Stop being fucking stupid dumbass idiots. It’s not the Confederate flag. It’s the Rebel flag. Now the difference you dumb fucks.
So now this other girl has to redo her entire project because this snowflake threw a temper tantrum. Hate is in your heart, not in a flag.
I would chew a whole pack of bubblegum and slap it in her hair when nobody was around and blaim it on one of her friends if she did that to me.
Isn’t the correct confederate flag a white one?
Can’t we all just hate each other equally?
Stupid. Like most people who think like that.
Heritage not hatred is what flag is about the only hatred is people who act like this chic
Well woman or no…bitch woulda broke my pottery guess she would be goin to the dentist.
After she smashed the project the victim should have smashed her face
she’s a dumb cunt.
It is called malcious destruction of property. Hope this classless bitch knows she cant wear makeup in jail.
The south knew where this country was headed a long time ago and opted out. I cannot fault them for that. The only thing about the confederate beliefs that i don’t agree with was the slavery aspect.
It s all about heritage
If you look a little deeper you can see she supports la raza. That itself is inherently racist. She’s just mad because her own race doesn’t run things on a whole.
Lmao , some people evolve , while the big overgrown can’t communicate neantherthals with violent behavior and no responsibility or understanding of consequces eventually die off …..
Was it even a confederate state lol
How fucking stupid. Bet if it was a fag flag not a thing would be said.
I don’t like the confederate flag. I don’t like or agree what the confederacy stood for and fought for… with that being said, it is protected by the 1st amendment. Just because you don’t like something or someone does not give you the right or authority to break there property or assault them. You don’t like the confederacy or its flag, don’t buy one, don’t wave one and or ignore it. The confederacy was a part of our history, banning the flag, breaking property or taking down flags and or monuments is not going to change that…. grow up.
This bitch needs to mind her damn business
Id roofie this bitch, tattoo a confederate flag on er puss and see if shed ever take them panties off again. No fella gonna want a big bushy beaver.
Sounds like womansplaining to me. Im totally triggered lol
Fuckin nigger bitch.
You’re mother
What makes me mother? I’m a guy not a woman
Ok one the flag is not a symbol of racism we can’t help some racists use it for their agenda but it’s not what it means it’s a battle flag use by the army of northern Virginia it’s nothing more than that people do not understand the whole south did not fight under this flag yes it was the base of most of them but this is just a battle flag
This is a symbol of hate and genocide specifically designed to exterminate the black race…..the other one is a Rebel flag
A rebel flag that represents terrorists that killed hundreds of thousands of American soldiers.
Actually,the terrorists were wearing blue……
A planned parenthood flag that represents terrorists that kill over a million every fucking year……
Calling the union terrorists and shitting on one of the greatest presidents ever… wow, you’re such a free thinker, way to go. Said no one ever. Crazy idiot.
Such stupid comments here. That meme with the causes of death is absolute bullshit. You cannot compare the number of people killed by gun to abortion
Butt hurt snowflake alert.
Easiest way to know when you have thoroughly debunked someone’s bullshit……they start calling you names
Which one tried to overthrow the USA
Successionist terrorists lost the war, get over it.
If you dont like the confederate flag then you can just go fuck yourself
Pick up the shards of your box and slit her throat. Only reasonable response.
No matter what, she had no fucking right to destroy what was not hers. Maybe if they sued her for destruction of property she’d shut her fucking mouth
This lady doesn’t even understand America. That kid had the right to make whatever he wanted for pottery. Also, the Confederate flag isn’t even a hate symbol. Also, also, destruction of property and freedom of speech are two different things so…
A symbol of a failed three year war.
He still has the right to make it
bitch looks like she has caterpillars resting on her eyes
She shouldn’t broke some one else property though. That’s wasn’t even the confederate falg
and heres the third??
We have black people where I live flying the confederate flag. It’s more of a symbol of the south nowadays. Unless you’re a triggered pansy.
I had a mixed girlfriend born and raised in the south, she was not black enough or white enough. She rocks her confederate flag bikini.
Lol. Isn’t it “food for thought”? Maybe it should say “foo for thots”
I hate to break it to her but that’s not the Confederate Flag. It’s the battle flag. They really don’t know what it looks like. I see them flying in towns and nobody really know it’s there and it’s actually flag they supposedly hate.
that bitch looks 40, how she is school 🙂
I would’ve smacked her in the tits.
She looks like she getting ready to be handed off to her uncle….
Don’t pretend it’s not true.
F**k the inbred Confederate flag waving fools, you lost the war get over it
Its history. People do have family history in the south. They may not have made the best choices, but to call everyone from the south inbred is just retarded.
Oh no the snowflakes are melting!
So says a libtard democrap. # MAGA. We won you lost get over it.
Libtard? Okay Retard ?
Says the guy with an American flag upside down
A nation in distress, and we still have freedom of speech.
But if you new anything about history you might have understood that.
How many more butt hurt flakes out their?
The nation idiot what part of nation is hard to understand?
Apparently free speech is only for those that agree with this chick?
Free speech doesn’t extend to physical actions.
Meaning?
Fk the confederate flag. Bury that part of history and let it be known for what it was..traitors waging war America! This is AMERICA mother fuckers! Don’t like it go back to Europe where you came from.
Spoiler: Confederate soldiers and Union Soldiers (that’s the guys who wore the funny hats and fought the Confederates) kind of came from the same places….
All immigrants from Europe..except one side were traitorous bitches!
Free speech isn’t just for people that agree with your opinion.
You can’t just bury history because someone’s delicate sensibilities are offended.
The flag did not represent slavery. Guess what the north had slaves to. Also when the civil war brike out slavery was just one small piece of why it broke out. Slavery was not the only reason the civil war happened and it wasnt the biggest reason. The biggest reason was the north trying to force the south to industrialize. But lets just believe the half truths we are all taught by the government who also happened to be the victors of it. And i mean its not like the victor gets to write history or anything. Oh wait that is what happened
That is also why over 25000 free black men fought for the south durring the civil war.
Don’t bury history…teach it so it never happens again.
If he was real..
Can always tell when you have thoroughly debunked someone’s bullshit when they resort to name calling…….
Louisiana…nuff said
Actually the funny part is Lincoln was going to let the south do its own thing. It wasnt until his wife started to get on his shit and nsg the fuck out of him and deny the puss puss that war broke out. And you know why lincoln fought so hard? Because his wife went full savage and said this puss belongs to winners so you better win that civil war boy and it was on like donkey Kong. Lincoln lost his best military academy and some of his best generals when the south broke off. So he had UN battle tested generals leading green newbie recruits against veteran soldiers. But the power of the puss compelled that man to do what needed to be done to get them boys in shape.
Vp is a little bitch. Go cry about it somewhere else you pussy.
You do know Lincoln actually wanted to send all blacks back to Africa until he heard popular opinion of the north.
Trust me VP, Europe doesn’t want you back
1) freedom of speech is a bitch. If you have your right to express your opinion, they have the right to express theirs. If they want to make something with a specific symbol, that’s their business.
2) I’d like to know if this is just one kid making something with the Con flag or if they were forced to make something confederate themed. That’s an entirely different argument.
Yeah too bad speech and destruction of personal property diff
Destruction is a childish way to handle things. That won’t convince anyone of anything. Also, if it was a class project where everyone had to make something in a civil war theme, it’s just some kid being a dick.
Bag o dicks lol
Should have slapped her. Then again her hand would have been caked in glitter and makeup and her clothes ruined.
Bitch wearing more makeup than Bozo the Clown.
story said the assignment was for students to create their own ceramic boxes decorated in the theme they wanted it wasn’t something forced on them
But still, it doesn’t give you the right to break other people’s shit.
20lbs of make up and conture makeup ✔layers of insta and sc filters ✔ angled pics of face and body ✔no education ✔ false sense of self and reality due to thirsty men and pervs she claims to hate attention from ✔thinks she is grown, but still so young doing civil war projects ✔….now we see why her pent up frustrations and why the lack of education.
I don’t like her face does that mean I can break it?
One more over-entitled twerp. She needs to grow up and act like a contributing member of society. She needs to wash her face and take out the colored contacts.
Fuck this bitch. It wasn’t her place to “educate” her. Everyone has their own beliefs, views, opinions… that is why America has amendments. That is why we, as americans, have rights. If anyone ever did this to me, you’d better believe I would’ve rocked her right there in the classroom. Fucking stuck up ass cunt.
Right, like, she’s wearing way too much makeup and I don’t like it so I guess it would be ok to smack the shit right off her face ??
Like foreal. If you have to cake THAT MUCH makeup on your face, you might as well wear a mask because it don’t look like the real you lol
Yeah seems American,why don’t you just shoot her,or yourself….either way problem solved
Stephen I think you have some growing up to do.
Growing up lol….everyone has their own beliefs,views,opinions…..except me apparently
Says someone who doesn’t even live in America ?
It’s a flag get over it
That’s bitch would’ve gotten knocked out if that was mine. Stupid fucking hoe.
Skank ho Trashdasian wanna be
Offensive. Learn what that flag itself represents and means before making snap judgments and jumping to conclusions.
On that note. Be cool, stay in school… Lol
It means different things for different people. Either way this is America and people can like whatever they want.
I bet Muslims can say the say same thing about the ISIS flag it is just a symbol of terrorism here so if she was making an isis flag box that would be cool to right? just asking .
We’re talking about a piece of American history here. Fuck ISIS. Destroying other people’s things is bullshit. Period. Fuckin bullies.
American history of a group that wanted to continue oppression of an entire race. That my friend is terrorism.
Chris Schmidt no its a good point
https://authenticenlightenment.com/2015/06/23/no-the-confederate-flag-does-not-stand-for-racism-or-slavery/
Like I said before. Be cool, stay in school. You might actually learn something….
The flag represented the southern states that didnt agree with the political viewpoint of the north. Like the abolition of slavery because why? They were racists. I learned that by graduating.
if you put glitter on shit guess what?? its STILL SHIT ! ????
The original discussion was more geared towards the girl who decided to destroy her classmates project like a fuckin bully. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, it’s the actions toward a fellow classmate that I don’t condone. Theirs enough of that shit going on these days, respect others, their belongings and their beliefs. ( And no I’m not referring to fuckin ISIS. Lol)
Then if I see a BLM pottery I can smash the shit out of it too? Because that stands for racism too!
Right!? Lol. Smdh
Actually, if you want to be truthful, the Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in the South and the North kept theirs. I learned that by doing research because they don’t teach that in school
Also Lincoln wanted to free the slaves and send them (and all other blacks) packing to Mexico or back to Africa.
What a Cunt.
Look at the size of those hoop earrings. The bigger the hoop the bigger the hoe
You know that white people can’t wear hoop earrings anymore. It’s a thing.
http://www.dailywire.com/news/14887/hoop-earrings-are-racist-if-white-women-wear-them-joseph-curl
Man every thing white people do nowadays is racist we can’t win. If we tried to give an ethnic kid CPR we would be accused of sexual harassment and molestation probably be told to stick to our cousin or sister
That comment is hysterical. The only people that say stuff like that are the ones that are racists whether they know it or not.
Im a southern white male that does better with hispanics and black people because white people in the south are mostly racists even when they claim they’re not.
Anton Myers I’m no racist I just call it like I see it. I’ve had black friends and Hispanic friends even some Asian and Muslim friends. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I do however have a strong disliking for rudeness and stupid people so bottom line treat me with respect and I will do the same no matter what your background in life is
Bill Culpepper I can fully respect that. However claiming whites face racists treatments the way other demographics do is a far cry from the truth.
Anton Myers you may be right but we still face discrimination from reverse racism I’ve seen it first hand. And people talk about white privilege all the time then how do you explain the United negro college fund or affirmative action? Where’s my free college for being descendant from Irish Catholic slaves?
I’m not trying to stir the pot I’m just saying whites face injustices too everyone does. The human race is fucked up and not getting any better
We do in fact face racism but not near as often as any non white ethnicity.
Good job on the generalizations Anton…..sad really it is the ignorant comments like yours that perpetuating racism.
Please explain how.
Anton Myers I never said whites face the same injustices that other races face you said that. Don’t twist my words around
Maybe this bitch needs to be educated on what the confederate flag stood for.
Ummm….the South not wanting to give up slaves? I live in the south so please no southern pride bs.
I don’t live in the south nor am I from the south, but I still know what that flag means, so no stupidity bs please
And what pray tell is your brilliant response?
It represents it’s rebellion against the north trying to push it’s political views on them, i.e. the north declaring slavery unconstitutional and the south not agreeing, in other words, not wanting to give up slavery. So yeah, he’s right.
It stood for rebellion against the united States of America for wanting to do away with slavery. 11 Southern states sperated from the US. Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee. They become the Confederate states of America and their election ” President” was Jefferson Davis of Mississippi. This also led up to the civil war in with the south had lost and thus slavery was abolished. But now it’s stands for a symbol of hate, ignorance and racism. Am I correct so far?
it’s the Virginia battle flag , so no you are not right^^
And what was virginia battling for?
First off, the flag known today as the confederate flag was not the actual flag of the confederacy. It was first flown by the confederate general P.G.T. Besides it was first flown as a battle flag in 1861. The general believed that the first confederate flag resembled the American flag which made it harder to distinguish between forces in the heat of battle.
Second, the original confederate flag had 7 stars in a circle, later 13, in a blue box with 2 red stripes and 1 white stripe. The second flag consisted on the battle flag in the top left corner of a white flag and the third was the second with an added vertical red stripe on the far left.
Third, going back to the general. It’s express purpose was to help distinguish between the different forces during battle as it was a battle flag and nothing more.
Philip Ballerstein Oh stop it now with those facts and truths. Those are offensive.
They all had in common the disdain for the abolition of slavery. Whats so hard to understand about that?
Virginia was, along with the rest of the south, battling for their indepence. They wanted to leave the union, because they believed that the federal government was overextending their reach and infringing apon states rights on whether to allow new states that were to enter the union could have slaves or not. The civil war wasn’t an actual civil war. A more appropriate name for it would be the war for southern independence.
The independence to keep slaves.
Slavery may have been a motivation for the war, but the battle flag has nothing to do with it. What I don’t understand is why today’s population thinks that we were the only country to ever have slaves and that we invented slavery.
BRUTALITY Philip Ballerstein WINS!
Actually independence to maintain their states rights
All in all they stood for rebellion right? All in which wanted to separate from the country because it wanted to keep a certain people as slaves. But what I’ve seen so far that neither one of you disowned the fact that it now repersents racism.
Brutality where? All I see is two adults with differing opinions communicating. Stop trying to turn this into a fight.
It was a cause that the people that flew that flag fought for. Flags represent the people flying them and their values. If one of their causes was keeping slavery then waving that flag is just as much a statement for slavery as independence.
And the civil war was actually a war the Vietnam wasn’t actually a war for ten years because the US never declared it a war. So ten years of men going to war was pointless.
I never said it wasn’t a war. I said that it wasn’t a CIVIL war. A civil war is a war over the dominating power in a country. The south was trying to leave the country to take control of it. And, pray tell, what racism does a battle flag hold?
Anton Myers, that’s the thing though, yours is that, an opinion. I am simply stating facts about the battle flag.
Depends on what your battling for.
They weren’t battle for the right to be racist.
No they were just racists fighting the battle to keep slaves. Among other things.
Answer me this: what was the percentage of southerners who owned slaves?
About 6%. Still doesn’t negate the fact that the abolition of slavery was frowned upon by the south. I’ve gotta go. Work time.
Their motivations were actually more economical
Exactly their biggest reason for trying to seperate was the north try to forcefully industrialize the south which they did not want
It’s the symbol of domestic terrorism…anarchists who tried.. and failed to fracture our Union
Actually Lincoln didn’t involve slavery until after the civil war had already started. So actually the war war had nothing to do with slavery when it broke out. It was economical and about taxes
She’s no more Aztec than the other student is Confederate.
So, I guess according to this chick, if I see something I don’t like, I can walk up and knock it off the shelf and break it. That’s totally acceptable.
Now where can I find a fragile Green Bay Packers piggy bank…..
If you find one lmk I’ll break that shit with you
You leave my piggy bank ALONE
Brandon Lange Oh, I’m coming for it Brandon. I find it offensive as shit. I’m so tired of them screwing up my Detroit Lions’ season!
Comparing a sports team to a flag that belonged to a group that wanted to continue oppression on an entire race is absolutely ludicrous.
What she did isn’t right but dont minimize what that symbol stood for a how many people suffered and died.
I am going to minimize this. And let me tell you why.
This is some bitch in a high school who wanted to post on social media that she went off and destroyed someone else’s property. Period.
There is no social justice bullshit here. She was not threatened. I don’t care if it was a piece of pottery with Hitler fighting Harry Potter.
It wasn’t hers to touch. In the real world that is called vandalism. It’s wrong. Period. You’re not bringing anybody back from the dead by breaking this piece of art.
Again I say what she did wasn’t right. However someone being offended by a symbol of hate and oppression is far far different than your joking about a football team.
Lmao ive got a rebel flag in my yard and my cousin is black…Guess what…She bought me the flag….Come try and do something to it I dare you…?good luck sweetheart
That’s part of minimizing this. She doesn’t deserve attention for this. The flag is not a symbol of hate. Well, not to people who understand history.
The Green Bay Packers have oppressed the entire NFC Central for decades.
The flag represented the southern states that didnt agree with the political viewpoint of the north. Like the abolition of slavery because why? They were racists. I learned that by graduating.
How is the Confederate flag racist? It’s an inanimate object it doesn’t have feelings or any thought process. So how can it be racist?
Tyler Williams It soaks up fried chicken more than a standard American flag.
…. ok, THAT was a bit racist….
The Confederate flag doesn’t stand for racism…Yeah the south wanted to keep their slaves but that doesn’t make the flag a symbol of racism…ACTUAL RACISTS just like to pick out that one single thing and say that’s all it stood for cause their fucking stupid…Learn your goddamn history before you try to feed me that bullshit
Tyler Williams if we have to explain symbolism to you then you’re a few points shy of qualifying for this conversation.
Sean Wilson born and raised in the South. I know all about it.
I made this myself. It took 15 seconds. That’s longer than it took for me to realize that Anton is an apologist.
Can someone explain that slavery was an economic issue? I don’t want to end up pounding my head on the wall for 30 minutes.
Anton Myers….Seems like your all over this post spewing your shit…Tell me was the ONLY THING the South fought for was slaves….Was that the ONLY ISSUE?…no…No it wasn’t…So it doesn’t represent racism it represents the South and I will continue to fly my Confederate flag under the American flag and I would love for someone to call me racist…Then u can go and call every black friend I’ve got racist as well seeing as most of them have got a Confederate flag too…That they fly proudly btw….But you go ahead and keep running your mouth you won’t convince anyone who actually knows their history
Yes. I can maintain several debates over a single posts. Its called multi tasking. Keep saying history proves its not racists when it fact only blind racists can truly believe that. Just make sure you bleach the confederate flag to pure white so it’s more accurate.
Since it’s clearly a white thing (based on your bleach comment), explain the 25,000+ free black men who fought for the south. Are they racist against black people too?
This is stupid. This chick broke someone else’s stuff and I’m here arguing the civil freaking war with this guy.
The Union as a whole had slaves, even the northern states. So why isn’t the good old Stars and Stripes considered offensive? Oh, because symbolism. Right. Not everyone in the south owned slaves. Multitudes of free slaves faught for the Confederacy. If the Confederate States were so racist why would free slaves fight for them in the Civil War? It was about a way of life and the industrialization was threatening that way of life.
Also note that history books are written by the victors, so if they say it was ALL about racists and slavery then who is going to question them?
Right. Like even free blacks in those days were truly free. You would be amazed what youd do for a hot meal and a place to stay
So.. racist or not, Anton? Don’t trivialize food and shelter.
I just want to hear Anton say that the 25k black freemen who fought for the south were racist.
That’s like saying the swastika isnt a symbol for racism and oppression. The Confederate flag stands for more than racism, but it doesnt stop anyone. from only seeing the evil it represents. Clearly an inanimate object cannot be racist, but what it represents can be.
The Nazi sqastika and the Confederate flag have about as much in common as the LGBT rainbow flag and bacon.
I don’t even know what that means, but it STILL makes more sense than comparing a regime’s desire to wipe out the jewish population with an economic war in America.
The 25k black men were surrounded by racists.
That’s bullshit. They were free men.
My family heritage is neck deep in Gettysburg, up to the point where we have historical landmarks with my family’s name on them.
To cast a blank tarp over this war and deem it a racist war is both insulting to those who fought and died for the southern way of life, and a completely immature and inaccurate representation.
Just pointing and yelling ‘racist’ is moronic at best.
Do any of you really know what the Confederate Flag really represented? Because it wasn’t slavery!
I don’t see anything about slaves in this. Educate yourself.
LMFAO calling me racist is very cute…Tell ya what come bleach it for my sugar imma be here waiting ???
Anton Myers my family is mostly from Georgia, so they fought for the Confederation. But guess what they didn’t have slaves they weren’t like the Rich democrats who could afford slaves if anything they were middle class Republicans who fought to defend their home.
And don’t talk about me being a “few points shy” for this conversation when your a few points over the scale.
So…I have a question…Were the black people whom fought for the south racist?….Also the black people who proudly wave the Confederate flag in parades in the southern states…Do they hate blacks and support slavery…OH SHIT THEY DONT!?!?….This is truly eye opening…Your entire argument is completely invalid DUE TO BLACK PEOPLE…OK I’m done now?
As a Vikings fan I’m down for Fucking up some Packers shit!
Rob, you suck yourself into some weird discussions.
It wasn’t until three years after their declaration of treason, and a steady decline of confederate battle losses that the confederacy even considered having black people fight for them. It was even proposed by General Lee (who was one of a few that fought for a sense of duty to his state, spent his twilight years denouncing the confederacy’ attempt to secede) proposed that freedom be linked to service; he was rebuffed when the act passed the confederate congress without such a clause.
Now…the fact that black people fought is irrelevant. The 25k black people that fought made up only 10% of all blacks in the south (most were not free) and is just as much dwarfed by the number of Union black soldiers (200k strong and able to serve by the end of the first year; 80 of which were commissioned officers. The confederacy had maybe one.). Saying that any black person had a legitimate choice to do much in the south, and try to paint it as if it were just dandy for them is not only offensive, but soundly incorrect. Almost as incorrect as it is to say the Civil War had nothing to do with slavery. If it had nothing to do with slavery, why is it mentioned in all of the declarations of secession for all of the states, with Mississippi calling it “the greatest material interest of the world,” and Texas having probably the most disgusting declaration (SAMPLE: “We hold as undeniable truths that the governments of the various States, and of the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and their posterity; that the African race had no agency in their establishment; that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent race, and in that condition only could their existence in this country be rendered beneficial or tolerable.
That in this free government *all white men are and of right ought to be entitled to equal civil and political rights* [emphasis in the original]; that the servitude of the African race, as existing in these States, is mutually beneficial to both bond and free, and is abundantly authorized and justified by the experience of mankind, and the revealed will of the Almighty Creator, as recognized by all Christian nations; while the destruction of the existing relations between the two races, as advocated by our sectional enemies, would bring inevitable calamities upon both and desolation upon the fifteen slave-holding states.”)
Let’s not forget vice traitor, Alexander Stephens called it “Our new government is founded upon exactly [this] idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.”
As far as the connection to swastikas and ol’ Dixie; white supremacists fly both, side by side:
Man, you get here just as I’m about to take off from work 😛
My original point was that this chick shouldn’t break things that aren’t hers. Then I wanted to take a shot at the Green Bay Packers. I can’t win for losing.
All I’ll say is, White Supremacists are assholes.
The fact that the civil war wasnt fought over slavery should show you something
Crack a book, Junior. It most certainly was fought over slavery.
Offensive, what gives this bitch right to destroy another’s property.
Where’s /pol when you need um?
They already found out she was illegal and reported her to immigration.
Only cause you’re fuckin retarded.
