mputnal3 was just talking about mental illness and this photo appeared on my screen. Coincidence? I think not. You have to be a sad excuse for a human being to take pride in your hatred.
You called me a "sad excuse for a human being". Who feels superior over the other?Do you feel the people in that photo Poppy posted are mentally ill? I never said I was superior to anybody. And yes, I am judging the KKK based on the statements and actions they support. You are defending a flag that represents bigotry and treason. And I do have southern pride that has nothing to do with the Confederacy. That flag has nothing to do with being proud to be a southerner.
Lake View Too, You are a wonderful human being I am sure but you are not superior to me or any other person who has Southern Pride. The only hatred I feel is from those in this forum who are very good at judging and maybe hating others who do not agree with them.
Teresa I am all for flying the flag of understanding and honor but for you to believe that ALL people who fly the confederate flag for hatred and bigotry is not very understanding or even correct. I do agree with you about the debate. It was eye opening for me to feel all the hatred toward Southern Pride and realize that we as a nation have a long way to go before we heal from the wounds of the Civil War if ever. I think many people are just so dang reactive that they will not allow themselves to stop and think about what they are saying. Just read all the posts and tell me what side of this debate does hatred exist.
This thread has shown me that while alot of people accuse southern people that fly the Confederate flag of being racist against black Americans that they are just as racist against Southern Americans.
