I am a southerner, never flown the stars and bars in my life, figured it was mainly for Lynyrd Skynyrd concerts and country boys proud of their southern heritage. Never once have I looked at it as flipping the bird to black people. I am going to display it proudly any damn time I want now.
That’s how the overwhelming number of southerners saw it. The Stars and Bars was just the leftists first foray into removing American culture and identity. If you told folks back in the 2000s that supported the removal, that in 2020 we’d be removing presidents, abolishinists, Catholic saints and Christopher Columbus they would say you are crazy. And here we are. The slippery slope is real. Give the Marxists an inch and they will take a country mile.
The meaning has changed for me. Now it means, screw the establishment (globalists). The South will rise again!
And I'm serious about the South. We are the birthplace of true American culture. The Africans contributed to our music -- there would be no country music without the banjo, which came over from Africa.
There would be no rock without blues.
If these globalists would leave us alone, we'd all get along...and we do get along down here better than many people imagine.
Yeh bullshit, whites invented nearly every single instrument, recording device, mixing board, analog equipment, tape, casette, mics, audio effects. Also the banjo didn't come from Africa, it is very similair to Bouzouki popular in Greek music and likely had origins in Persia.
it’s just the regional flag of the south. I’m reminded of that video of Angela Markel taking away a german flag from a fellow german politician. He was waving it around and she snatched it up and put it away. Her loyalty is to the European Union, and how does she view the german flag? Does it represent the german people, ancestry, and countless years of german culture and tradition? No, to her Germany is just holocaust & evil nazis and that’s it, and to have national pride is just one step away from seceeding from the union.
Another similarity is that before the civil war America was referred to as plural rather than singular, so if we were going to war they would say “the United States are going to war”. Before the civil war America was viewed similarly to how the European Union is viewed, rather than as typical single country.

A-men. Nikki Haley symbolizes this weak unprincipled viewpoint.
Same here.
I want one.
