Excuse me??

And you're complaining because someone is cyber-bullying you, then earlier you were whining about how when people fly the flag they usually do something "within minutes," according to your earlier posts... Then you were complaining that no one explained your correlation, even though a few minutes later you admitted you saw they explained it.

I feel like this is a topic that will NEVER be resolved.

I never complained about anything, and I said it was a LAME ASS ATTEMPT at cyber-bullying.

Go learn to read and look up the meaning of "complain" you dumb bitch

And I didn't say nobody explained it, I said certain users didn't explain it, an STILL none of them have. Only 1 person explained it, and he wasn't in the group that I set the parameters for.

Go learn to read and look up the meaning of "whining" you dumb bitch

So let me get this straight. If an southerner has pride in their heritage and region's history, which includes slavery, they are an ignorant, racist hick.

BUT

If a black American has pride in their African heritage it's cool, even though their own ancestors BOUGHT/SOLD/USED slaves too?

I can read just fine. You were dissatisfied that someone didn't explain your correlation.

com·plain
/k?m'ple?n/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [kuhm-pleyn] Show IPA
–verb (used without object)
1. to express dissatisfaction, pain, uneasiness, censure, resentment, or grief; find fault: He complained constantly about the noise in the corridor.
2. to tell of one's pains, ailments, etc.: to complain of a backache.
3. to make a formal accusation: If you think you've been swindled, complain to the police.

Um, you didn't specify which users didn't ever answer you, just the ones who called you an angry black man or ignorant -- which honestly seems to be a lot of these people. You made a general statement. Regardless, you were still dissatisfied and therefore you made a complaint.

whine
Noun
1. a long high-pitched plaintive cry or moan
2. a peevish complaint

Note the second part.

Best think twice before you mess with this bitch, Mr. Angry Black Man.

Get over yourself.

Who ever said that? I think you're trying to put words into my, or someone's mouth. I never said if a southerner has pride in their heritage it makes tham an ignorant, racist hick. That's just what you wanted me to say.

I can't agree with the higher moral ground argument. As has been stated on here numerous times the war involved many different issues other than slavery. in fact the emancipation proclamation only freed the slaves in the south. this was complete political posturing as it removed a strong formidable force. The blacks in the south were no longer focused on fighting for the south as a means to gain their freedom since they had already been freed. this single act reduced the numbers of the potential armed forces of the south thus weakening their position. meanwhile the north was able to keep their slaves.

furthermore, the flag of the united states is also a flag of slavery as the entire nation took advantage of the benefits of slavery and the north continued the ability to do so following the war.

one can hardly say that the north was a side of "higher moral ground"

First of all, I never said the north was a side of "higher moral ground," you took that out of a hypothetical that I posted.

Second of all

No, they lost and the confederacy doesn't exist anymore. Same with Britain's flag, which is why I said it would make MORE sense to wave that one."

You're not on my level, you can even comprehend my simple TWW posts. Seriously, where did "didn't see it" come? I told him he didn't apply because he wasn't one of the people who used specific words to attack me. Of course, you don't understand this, because you're a complete and utter retard.

Well, actually, they can. If more people were not afraid to fly the flag based on the potential misinterpretation of their beliefs then it could change. there are people who may wish to fly the flag out of southern heritage or pride who don't do so due to the immediate and unjustified judgments passed on people who do wave it.

If these people could wave it and use it in a manner that was not offensive to anyone then the connotation could feasibly change. however, these people are not afforded the opportunity.

You're right, I don't understand how you are saying he doesn't apply even though he answered your question. Why complain about someone not answering it when someone else gives you the answer, regardless of whether that person wasn't involved?

Ps, it seems that I have touched one of your nerves, due to all the retard comments. Silly. Goose.

Mr. Wyland: Well I certainly would like to thank all the parents for their support of our debate club. I r-realize that many of you are torn by the issues as well, so, perhaps the children can shed some light on us. We'll start with Wendy Testaburger on the "Flag Should Be Changed" team.
.....
Wendy: Yes. Now, the main point we would like to make is oftentimes it is prudent to change history. As times change we hope to grow, and as we grow our rules must change. It is a natural part of evolution. Thank you.
Mr. Wyland: Okay, and Kyle and Stan's team, your main point?
Kyle: Our main point is that the flag shouldn't offend anyone, because killing has been around since the bieginning of time. All animals kill. And the animals that don't kill are stupid ones, like cows and turtles and stuff. So people should not be so upset about killing.
Chef: Whoa whoa whooaa! You just missed the point entirely!
Kyle: Huh?
Chef: I'm not mad because the flag shows somebody gettin' killed, It's because it's racist!
Kyle's Team: Racist??
Chef: Children, don't you even know what this argument is about?! That flag is racist because a black man is being hung by white people.
Kyle's Team: Ooooooohhh.
Chef: Ooooooohhh?!
Kyle: W-we really didn't see it that way.
Chef: But that's a black man up there!
Kyle: Y-yeah, but... the color of someone's skin doesn't matter.
Chef: Well of course it matters when- ...Oh my God. Wait a minute. You children didn't even see the flag as a black man being hanged by white people, did you?
Kyle's Team: No.
Chef: Why, that is- that is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.
Mayor: What?
Mr. Wyland: What?
Chef: Don't you see? All this time I thought these little crackers had turned racist, when actually they were so not racist that they didn't even make a separation of black and white to begin with. All they saw when they looked at that flag was five people.
A Few People: Awww.
Some KKK members: Awww.
Kyle: Yeah.
Chef: I'm sorry, children. I was wrong about you. But I still the flag needs to be changed. But now I realize that I almost let racism turn me into a racist.
Jimbo: Yeah. You know, uh I suddenly found myself on the side of Klan menbers. I've never had anything against blacks, Chef.
Chef: Oh, I know you don't, Jimbo. I've known you for almost ten years. You're a good man.
Jimbo: We've been way too divisive over this, Chef. Maybe we can come up with a- compromise flag--something that everybody can be happy with.
Chef: I think that's a much better start than me tryin' to separate myself from all you wonderful crackers.
Audience Members: Ooh, huhuh. Oooh
Kyle: Oh. Sweet, dude. I don't think we have to do this stupid debate now. Stan?
Mayor: This has been an interesting week in South Park. We've all done a lot of growing this week. Everyone was afraid to take a stand on this issue. But now we have learned once again that black, white, yellow, brown, or whatever, we are all just people. And so, I am very excited to unveil our new South Park Flag!
Stan: Wait, I don't get it.
Kyle: No, see? There's people of all colors. And they added a black guy as one of the hangers, too, so it's not racist.
Chef: Hooray!
Jimbo: I have to admit it, that is a lot nicer.
Wendy: Phew. I'm sure glad that's over with.
Cartman: Me, too.

I think I made many valid points here, and never did I say that everyone who wears the flag is dumb or racist, and I actually said I like the flag's use on private property or persons.

My opinion is that, to show southern heritage, it's a valid symbol for some, but the smarter southerners wouldn't go to such lengths to show their southern heritage, because of the awful stigma attached to it.

Also, like I said, the US flag may at one time been a symbol for similar things, but the US remained a country, transformed, Brown v Board happened, the Civil Rights act happened, 15th and 19th amendment suffrage happened, and the kernel of the US flag symbol changed along with the country. This is something that just can't happen with the confederate flag because the confederacy no longer exists.

I'm being outnumbered greatly here, as I am on a North Carolina message board, this makes sense. So I'm done, and going to get to work. You guys can refer to my earlier posts if you want any clarification on anything!

^^ haha

the meanings behind symbols can change over time even if the originator of the symbol is dead or no longer exists, other than that you're argument is good.

but whatever. symbols lose meaning when folks stop knee-jerk reacting to them...

Okay, but you must agree that is meaning can't change the way the American flag's (and British flag) meaning changed... which is what I literally meant in context.

I always thought it was funny when people need to put words in your mouth in order to argue with you. It's like, they want to oppose you SO GODDAMN BAD, but they don't actually think what you're saying is false....so they have to make stuff up and argue with that.

It's even funnier when this happens on TWW, where one can always go back a few pages to see what has been said.

didn't read the whole thread.

I have been going to races for years, and I think it's safe to say NASCAR as an organization will lose next to nothing as a result of this boycott. If anything, this will do nothing but generate bad press for the NAACP chapter doing all the bitching.

I would liken this to me, a southern born and raised male, saying that I am going to boycott a rap concert because the rapper says something derogatory towards white people. No one will care.

terpball

as for you being angry and black, i don't think its the case. i think its more of an issue that you point out a lot of the race related issues that are in the background of an issue, which is a good thing and a side worthy of nothing. however, i feel that on occasion you aim so desperately to prove your point that the issue becomes exaggerated and turned into an argument of racism vs. not racism and acts of oppression.

i'm not saying you turn it into that conversation all on your own (hell you're even baited a lot of the time) but i think that is why people have the mentioned impression.

i agree with this sentiment. however, i think for a few of the points in this thread terpball was vague in some of his comments which led to some ambiguity in what he aimed to convey. so some things that people claimed he said were actual reasonable interpretations of what was typed and not a fabrication or words being put into his mouth.
