I don't understand why some people still respect the confederate flag

yes, a states rights to own slaves. if it weren't for slavery there wouldn't have been much to bother about in the first place.

Clearly, you don't know much about that war, or the South.

You know?

I mean that's why the Confederate states wanted to seperate, right? To make slavery legal, so their economy, which depended heavily on slavery, wouldn't collapse.

I don't get why sometimes, I see the Confederate Flag on cars or something. I mean, it's not like you've lost a slave or somthing.

1st and formost. The Confederated States, didn't leave the Union because they wanted to make slavery legal. They left because they thought that the states should have the power to enacte laws on it's own people and not be subject to a Federal government to oversaw and superceded the States rights. Slavery wasn't an issue in the war until Lincoln used it as a campaign tool to garner more votes and support for the North. Amazingly enough, 99% of the whites in the south didn't own slaves.

It pretty much screams, "I'm Racist", to people outside of the South who have no idea what it means to many people living in the South. Yes, it has been abused by certain segments of society and its meaning perverted to many as a result. This skewed opinion of the symbol does nothing to change how many other view it, including myself.

I went to a Southern military school, and it represents a great deal to me now since it was proudly carried into battle by the cadet corps in 1864 when they led the charge which broke the Union line and where 10 cadets ended up losing their lives. Do you see "slavery" anywhere in that bit of history?

The idiocy is those people who think that every Southerner went to fight in the Civil War to keep slavery when the VAST MAJORITY of the troops would never have been able to afford slaves in their lifetimes. Why would a poor dirt farmer fight for the right of a plantation owner to have slaves?

There are Hindus who view the swastika as a sacred religious symbol. Do they think of genocide when they see it? I've even seen the swastika in a Christian church, dating back several centuries. A symbol does not mean the same thing to everyone; therefore, you have to look at the meaning to the user of the symbol to ascertain what the intent in using it is. Assigning your interpretation to someone else is asinine.

I lived there for one year and saw it frequently. Depends on where you are, I suppose.

Ah, but the buddist swastika goes the other way.
