well the story of the south is complicated, and the rebel flag, like most things, means different things to different people
Stuck in Cali.
but the only people that have ever made an issue of the rebel flag and racism has been white liberals
the story of our heritage is complicated, but so is the history and heritage of all nations
He said that the confederate flag was used in the times of Jim Crow.
well like people think that poor, uneducated southerners were fighting a war barefoot to keep black people enslaved, which is about the dumbest thing ever...
they always forget about the Tarrif of Abominations, which SoCar threatened to seceed over 10 years prior because it practically killed their economy because they didnt want to deal with the Norths bullshit trade policies of buying cheap and selling super expensive and instead wanted to trade with Britian and France because they payed alot more even tho they charged a small bit higher than the north did
It was originally about state rights
the politicians might have pushed for secession because they were pressured by the rich minority of slave owners; but the vast majority of people who were in the southern army were fighting because their states were being invaded and burned to the ground, and the Union committed a ton of atrocities like murder, rape, looting, etc.
the burning of Atlanta, a scar that is still felt today in the entirety of the south
my hope is that in the future that the North and the South can finally settle the scores, but it doesnt look like the case and the hate is only growing deeper by the day, especially with these riots going on now
i hope we dont have what happens after a countries population reaches critical mass of hyper polarization
but if it happens, so be it
i dont think there's any hope for california...you should see the f'ed up stuff in their history no one ever talks about
in the 1870s half of California's gov't income was from taxing the Chinese for being Chinese...just to give ONE example
dam
then again, California never wanted to be part of the US, they were just another trophy of a US Mexico war
California's entire history is the rich and elite, politicians, etc. absolutely screwing over everyone else...goes all the way back to the gold rush
unlike Texas, who voluntarily wanted to be a part of the Union because it did not want the full force of the Mexican army deleting them from existence after Texas gained its revolution
did you know that since before the civil war, California has tried to secede from the Union?
and it's not even a race thing there, it's a class thing, after the dust bowl they were lynching white farmers that immigrated from the mid-west (Okies)
dam
California's history is just pure evil
probably doesnt help that its about as dry as Texas and its only real attraction back then being the prospect of gold
California's got no moral ground on anythin, dont know why they got the need to tell everyone else how to live their lives
and they aint got any ground to speak communism
Getting got?

Fuck BLM. We need a new black rights movement that won't do something like this. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. changed so much, but he never and I mean never lifted a finger on anyone. Get someone who will peacefully protest and not riot and burn down buildings and businesses.
For the reason of being better than the people who had done it to African American's without consequence for decades before that too. Based very much on the teachings of the Bible and what it says about love. That's the difference.
