What does the Confederate flag represent, and why is it all over this site?
I just tried to add a PS, but alas took a medication break and timed out first.
May I also add, for those whom are unaware, I am a Euro/Native American, with baggage and therefore possibly divergent views on domination and usury. Family records show that I had relatives on both sides of the conflict, as well as at least one Native American relative whom was a slave. Our black brothers were not the only ethnic group enslaved, which is commonly brushed aside and not typically taught in high school American history.
Mostly because Native Americans made poor slaves due to our attitudes, and for the most part we were shipped to the East Indies to keep us from escaping, though we seemingly just shriveled up and died disproportionately in captivity and servitude.
One side of my family as a matter of record in at least one case, literally murdered the other side out of predudice and financial gain, after they couldn't threaten or intimidate him into submission. Four generations later, whom do you hold responsible, with a town in Texas named after the town preacher man Bible thumping founding father and other family members committing the murder disguised as Night Riders?
I stopped flying the stars and bars as my youthful exhubrance faded, but will always salute their do not tread on me, or do so at your peril sentiment!
