can someone tell me why these flags are racist without going in depth with politics because i dont care

some people say they are racist because the CSA had slavery (although so did many major nations at time and i think some US northern states too) although they're too thick to understand that the CSA flag is just a national flag and the civil war was actually fought over states rights rather than slavery. a moderator or chris could've sussed this out with a quick wikipedia check+logic in like ten mins, but instead decided to go into ---MAD--- mode.

Because they were used in the 50s by segregationists to show their "Southern pride". The original meaning of the flag wasn't racist (which is why people are now going mental and pretending to not be at fault in any way when they swing it around) but as everyone knows, meanings change

And then Dan comes along and is wrong about stuff and it all flares up

that's wrong actually as the KKK always used the US flag as it is now. it was the USA after all which had segregration until the 1950s yet we can rightly separate a flag from a policy. and yes though the CSA flag is used by some crackpots although on the other hand so is the British flag (BNP, EDL etc).

I didn't mention the KKK. This is why you were a crap debates manager, shame that now you'll get to go around pretending to be a victim of the evil liberals when you should have been fired months ago for simply not being any good at your "job"
