Lmao that's amazing. Another thing they should do is put a plat where people could read that tells the true story of what the flag and what it represents and how they were the bad guys in history and how the north/union kicked their sorry asses! Lol.

​@@Grizz270 1. Semi-correct. The Civil War started with the objective of preserving the Union as the rebelling (Confederate) states seceded before Lincoln's inauguration because they were afraid of slavery being abolished. The war started because they wanted to bring the southerners/Confederate states back into the Union. Lincoln needed enough of a victory to issue the Emancipation Proclamation (all slaves in/from rebelling states are free) which happened to be the Battle of Antietam. As a result, this changed the Northerners' objective of the war - to free the 'freed' slaves. 2. Lincoln only freed the slaves within rebelling (Confederate) states to keep the border states at his side. Note that the border states had slaves. Yes, you could say it's war tactic. The Northerners did need better morale or idea to fight for. Yes, he technically did not have the power over Confederate states, but he had a problem: runaway slaves fled to the Union from the Confederates. By issuing the Proclamation, this made runaway slaves from the south in the Union FREE, allowing them to participate in the army. Again, he needed to keep the border states at his side so he only freed slaves from the Confederate states. For clarification (thanks to brett knoss), Lincoln did NOT free slaves within the Union during this time, the 13th Amendment did.

@@Grizz270 that's incorrect the last northern state to abolish slavery was new jersey in 1804 60 years earlier

Or people who don't realize the South was incredibly hypocrital about "muh states rights!!" because the Dred Scott ruling said that slaves were still slaves in free states and therefore the states had no say in freeing Black people, and white southerners rejoiced? Or the fact that the South wanted to annex Cuba to expand their slave empire, not just content with keeping it within the South proper?

It's been an issue for years. The confederate flag had flown on top of the SC State House starting in the 1960's as a protest from the SC government for the Civil Rights Act(which btw blows a huge hole in any argument made towards the flag being about heritage) and then the flag was taken down from the top of the State House in 2000 after years of debate. The flag was then moved to the grounds in front of the State House, and still debate continued and even a boycott of the state that was active until it was removed last year.

They were still part of America since they were officially call the Confederate states of America. Also we still have the right to fly any flag we choose on private property. Just because it’s public view does not mean it’s public property. You may not like it but you still gotta respect their rights to fly it. My neighbor fly the Irish flag and I hate that flag due for the Irish Republicans killing my people and I’m sure they don’t like my British and Ulster flags flying but we still respect each other rights to fly them.

just as they have a right to fly their flag, i have a right to vociferously let them know how displeased i am with their decision. if they get tired of hearing it, they can always take it down....

connor watson Okay first, I’m using America and the US interchangeably and playing semantics weakens your argument. Second, the difference between your problem with the Irish flag and the Unite States’ problem with the Confederate flag is that Ireland is not a country that represents the murder of British people. The countries had beef in the past, but they make amends and continue on as allies because the countries are not inherently bad. It’s the same with the US and UK. The Confederacy on the other hand, was founded to continue the practice of harsh African slavery and as retaliation at the election of Abraham Lincoln, in other words in retaliation against the US’s representative democratic election process, one of the key parts of America’s government.

By that logic I can raise Nazi and Soviet flags as well?

Their is no pardon included but a Confederate soldier could seek a pardon by applying for one some time after the civil war as was legislated by Congress. General Lee asked for one and got one but that didn't make or allow him to become a union soldier nor did he get to collect a pension.

I thought of that, but it wouldn't work as the pole is directly adjacent to a public sidewalk. The restaurant could possibly block it from view on their side of the parking lot (although at significant expense, given the height of the pole) but they would not be able to put any blocking structure on the sidewalk or the two cross-streets from which the pole is adjacent and clearly visible. Here's what I mean: www.google.com/maps/@33.4834768,-80.8722497,3a,75y,91.5h,85.34t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s2Gx86VWB6Hb4IrM-_91Dxg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

YOUR NOT USING YOUR HEAD. DIG DOWN PAST THE POLES FOUNDATION. THE FLAG POLE WILL DROP THEN REFUSE TO ALLOW ACCESS FOR IT'S REPLACEMENT AND REFORTIFICATION. THEN JUST SUE FOR DAMAGES IN REGARDS TO THE FLAGS CAUSED TROUBLE. AS THE COMMUNITY FILES A FEDERAL CLASS ACTION SUIT. MAKE THEM PAY FOR THE TROUBLE THEY HAVE CAUSED. THE FLAG REPRESENTS TREASON RACISM AND DIVISION. Make it a national media event and issue. Put light on this darkness.

You can’t build something on public property aka THE SIDEWALK

I wonder how hard it would be to train a flock of pigeons to crap on it.

That's brilliant. A nice big sign saying "This is the flag of loser, racist, traitors." --->

It had nothing to do with restricting someones freedom Dumbass.

@@cliffordpearsonjr.9748 Your mama

Canada is nicer hehe

I live in this dead town and this town is almost full of NUTS

See that's why it's still a reminder of heritage and mistakes that we should be mindful to not make again I mean not like we gonna start having slaves again I mean like big mistakes in history like we shouldn't done that you know Cuba building missile silos way back when they probably shouldn't have done that

Yeah its pretty alright

WhyHackz why yes an open border, so much nicer.

People will judge it no matter what. If you pass by and see a flag flying outside someone’s yard, you are going to think that the flag belongs to them and that they support it

As a PoC, when I see the confederate flag on a car, home or business I see it as a sign that I am not welcome or safe. So based on the close proximity of this flag to his business, I would not venture in to check and see if he condones the flag or wants my business.

Christina Marsh I mean I understand completely what the flag stands for and don’t think they should be flown. But it’s not the guys fault, there’s nothing he can do about it, and knowing that you still wouldn’t eat at his place? I mean when did we loose our minds to the point that a flag that has nothing to do with someone would make them not do business there?

@@finaltwo I am hopeful that he figures out how to disassociate from the flag in some way, but until it was removed I would not feel safe and not shop there. I guess I lost my mind the first time that I was spat and called the n-word by a classmate who had rebel stickers on his binder. I guess I lost my mind when traveling in Arkansas and when entering into a gas station was greeted by the rebel flag and told that I did not belong there and was refused gas.... I have many more stories.... So in order to keep sane, I avoid potentially traumatic situations. It sucks that his business is not thriving, but the inclusion of a sign that says all are welcome and going to a few community and church meetings might change his neighbors perception of his business.

Christina Marsh I mean I sympathize with you, I’ve been a victim of a hate crime. I avoid people with “good old boy” mentalities. I very recently (last two years) got educated on the rebel flag, but and would understand why not knowing someone wouldn’t shop there. But knowing the owner doesn’t want that flag up, it’s not his flag, and wants it down should matter also. Unfortunately in America we have laws that are outdated and almost impossible to change. But this could literally happen to anyone, this racist made sure that flag would fly even after his death. The current owners livelihood is on the line because of forces outside of his control, I think that should be under consideration. It’s also like if the Westbro Baptist Church was out with a “God Hates Fags” sign in front of a restaurant. I know that they are not affiliated with the restaurant, if I want to eat there I’ll walk right past the bigots.

@Coloris_m Roblox Its not. Its merely a piece of the original flag. Triggered racist who believed anyone other than themselves didn't deserve basic rights and stretched out the stars and bars to protest it. It's the same with all of the "historical statues" they were erected in reaction to the civil rights movement in the 50's. There's no true history or heritage with it what's so ever, purely and 100% just racism.

Coloris_m Roblox it stands for 1. Treason 2. Slavery as slavery was the official reason for secession according to articles of the confederacy. Go read those. Then come back here, boo.

Coloris_m Roblox slavery “played a part in it” you say? That’s enough for me. Burn that flag. Also, do tell, what did the flag for the “confederacy of slave owning states” stand for? I’ll wait. “My guy?”! For f sakes. Stop trying to own people.

Coloris_m Roblox you still haven’t read the articles of the confederacy. Slavery is the chief reason for secession. Go read those. Stop giving me some lost cause revisionist bs. Besides, that’s not even the actual flag. Just give this up. Go read what your racist heroes wrote in their founding papers. Move on.

Coloris_m Roblox I don’t care about changing the minds of racists and bigots. The flag stands for “The Confederacy of Slave Owning States.” It’s a pretty linear logical argument here.

now im keep seeing u everywhere are u like justin y

I always cover my flag pole in lard and hook it to electricity. That way if they do succeed in climbing it some how, they won't be able to climb it because it will be like a bug zapper bbq the flies that drawn to my property. X^D

BlackRose So you are even dumber.

You fucking stupid

No South will do anything so it's history isn't removed even kill people if we have too

It’s still up and the shop owner sold his business in 2019 … no business is currently operating there now and any business beforehand didn’t stick around long

"Slavery" was the word for "socialism" during the era of the Confederacy. The ideologies are identical.

@@shouygui4955 that literally makes no fucking sense

White people have been more oppressed than anyone. They didn’t get jobs because of their color. When they break the law they go to jail. If they are fired they aren’t a “protected” class. Their schools don’t get special funding because they have black children.

@@eliweiss4118 Communism is the exact same thing as slavery you work for free you get free food you get a free house you get free everything you’re a slave to the government and that’s what our current Democrats want to push for Socialism

knijn So you support removing history over anything esle? You support surpressing peoples freedom of speech and expression? Thats exactly what i am seeing. The shop does not own the land, they have no say so as to what goes on the pole. They can legally put a sign on their property that the falg is not theirs, but thats it. There is not any racial profiling or anyhing else going on but a flag flying. Once again, it illinformed people being idiots.

Snipe Stud00 first of all how are we removing history by removing one of the millions of flags that excist in this world? Since I'm certain that that flag isn't even a genuine civil war flag but instead just a cheap Chinese made one so what history is excactly getting destroyed? Second of all you scream suppression of freedom of speech yet you ignore that the critisism against that dumb flag is also freedom of speech. I mean I know it's also the guys fault for not paying attention to the land he bought when buying the restaurant or for not just putting something like a giant billboard saying something like"I'm legally not allowed to remove this dumb flag" but that still doesn't change the fact that this whole situation is really weak and dumb.

knijn Lets see, try looking for the flag. They do not sell them anymore. I had to go to a vintage flag site to find it. A genuine flag wouldnt have lasted as cotton rots. All confederate relics are gone. Even statues were removed. Secondly, freedom of speech is everywhere. You can disagree, but ou cannot suppress my expression of it and representing it. Just because you dont like something dont be blaming racism when the flag never represented it to begin with. Its a BATTLE FLAG. The actual confederate flag is something entirely different.

Snipe Stud00 oh for fuck sake quit your bullshit it took me five seconds to find this link m.dhgate.com/wholesale/confederate+flags.html or are you trying to say those 80 cent flags from China are all old genuine flags from the war. And are you really implying that I am not allowed to state the obvious fact that is: the flag being a dumb flag from a losing side who supported slavery from an old civil war wich is used by dumb people to express what basacly is their "freedom of hate speech." It's just so ironic that people like you scream suppression of freedom of speech but when other used their freedom of speech you go on and tell them that they can't be doing that since it disrespect their dumb believes. Since listen buddy: freedom of speech isn't freedom of critisism.

knijn Look bud, when i said buy, i kent going down to the local store. Amazon, walmart, target, sears, ebay, kmart, ect. They do not carry them and have removed anything battle flag related. You can still get it, but you have to go to oddball sites and what not. Even they they are veyond cheaply made or altered. They are not made like an actual flag but a novalty. Now, were you not taught the old saying "if you cant say anything nice, then dont say anything at all". Trust me, i could go out and tell people thy are fat ass fucking slobs and so on. Thing is, i dont. Hell, i dont even tell a drug addict they are an addict. I dont care if you disagree, but same time you do not order me to remove something when its my right to display what i believe in. You dont know what politician i go for and you sure dont know my life to understand the way i present myself. To you im some hillybilly old POS driving, confederate flag lovin, idiot from the south. Thing is, im not. That restraunt simply could display that the flag pole is not theirs and leave it. Even join together with the camp and have them allow the sign or put another flag with it. But no, they are going legal battles for somthing they do not own and can not say somthing about. Hell, i highly dout you even know what the war was actually about. It was not slavery, or did the flag represent it. Maybe look up the founding fathers and see they were all slavery supportive. Hell, the south could have won, but it wasnt til old Ab popped off its slavery we are fighting for and even requested the help of britain. They knew the south could have won being surppressed like the north was doing. They had to pop somthing off to turn people against themselves. This is why illinformed argue. You dont knowbut what youve been told and take shit at its said instead of looking facts up. Hell, you saw it yourself. That there pretty black woman was happy to see it. Many blacks like the flag. Its the idiot ones that do not understand it making a fuss. Once again, youre suppressing people and demanding they change somthing they value and believe in. Its like me ordering you to be a muslim, budist, christian, atheist, or jewish as its what i believe in. Even me telling you to divorce your wife because shes too pretty or you too are too happy. What logical sense is that? Let sleeping dogs lie and move on. Let people express themselves. The only thing you should be standing up for are things that are wrong. Like littering or standing up for someone or animal. I dont see many of people going to save a kitten that fell out from a car on the road. Hell, i actually see people throwing animals out yet crying "thats animal abuse" when they see a neglecred cat on tv. Really? Pot that called the kettle black. Theres more important things than a flag you need to worry about.

So?

Go ahead just do it right

you should NEVER say that flag is fine. there is NO context outside of recreations that the flag is appropriate. they were traitors who wanted to own people and they lost. there is nothing honorable about what the south did.

​@@sebcw1204 Actually, you are very wrong, that is a battle flag in which had no relations to slavery or any of that. It was merely just to wave in the field of battle, please keep reading liberal and SJW propaganda instead of reading about the flag's meaning.

@@theurbanexperience6787 the civil war belongs in a museum, it's over, it's history. the south fought for slavery and they lost. let the past die. when asked about a proposed gettysburg memorial robert e lee himself said "i think it wiser not to keep open the sores of war but to follow the examples of those nations who endeavored to obliterate the marks of civil strife, to commit to oblivion the feelings engendered." okay, so it was a battle flag flown by people who thought it was okay to own other human beings. i just looked it up and yeah, that flag was just one of MANY flags the south flew during the time they shed blood for the right to own actual humans as slaves. the current usage of the flag really only became popular during civil rights, y'know, that period of time when we decided that, yeah, we should treat black people the same as white people. well, a bunch of southerners thought that treating black people the same was bad so they started flying that flag and putting up statues of famous traitors who failed to uphold slavery. why do you use SJW as an insult? why is social justice a thing to be derided? do you not want to live in a just society? that flag means slavery to the majority of the people who live there. a tiny minority of the population don't want it there. if it was voted on, it would go down. democracy demands it.

@@margaretnicol3423 Yeah, he could definitely do more to help himself. I think a sign that says "That's not our flag" would help.

@Derek Mitchell Wrong. The Supreme Court has ruled that freedom of speech (or expression if you will) extends to far more than talking. For example, art work, photography, signing, words on cake, etc, is all considered freedom of speech.
