northbay and the confederat flag
- Thread starter WT SAVAGE
- Start date
The same way people criticize the kids for walking out and "not knowing what they're protesting" can be said about kids wearing the confederate flag. If the kids have a legitimate reason to wear the flag and know the history behind it, there shouldn't be a problem with it. But why do the majority of white kids in high schools walk around with the confederate flag? I doubt it's to pay homage Jefferson fuckin Davis...
Normally I'm all for free speech but...fuck them white kids. I wasn't allowed to wear red and yet these little mothafuckers are able to display a confederate flag? Fucking double standards. Allow them kids to be able to click up accordingly and to wear the colors they want and then others can have their confederate flags back for all I care.
^^ Good Point.
I couldn't wear Mexican soccer jerseys in school, blue or red, long belts, those shirts that they sell at the flea market with homies/virgen de guadalupe/jesus/ranflas, shirts that say brown pride, etc.,
As long as the same rules apply to everyone, I'm all for it. But these motherfuckers pick and choose and that's bullshit.

thats a dumb move there.... what fucking high schools are you talking about... because i havent ever seen white kids with confederate flags.... a lot of white people come from the south way back when... so why the fuck cant they fly a confederate flag but mexican americans can fly the mexican flag because their proud.... shut your white bashing loser ass up
The confederate flag has everything and nothing to do with race.
Sure, you can view it as white people making a statement that they don't like blacks or other races, and thats fine. However, not all people who display an image of a confederate flag feel that way. Symbols like that are open to interpretation, and when someone interprets it in a demeaning way, they get their feelings hurt and make a big deal out of it, even if the person displaying the image did not mean it in that context.
Furthermore, Abe Lincoln didn't give a fuck about slaves, he only freed them so they would run to the union and fight against the south. He decreed the Emancipation Proclimation out of necessity. To me the confederate flag is merely a symbol of rebellion, not of racism. Like one of the posters in the comments section said "I don't get why its okay for students south of our border to wear shirts with the face of murderer Che Guareva on them, while students from the south in our country can't display an icon that means something to them" (paraphrased).
Get your panties out your asshole, there's bigger issues to deal with than this.

I DIDNT.... i was comparing the wearing red(gang shit) to having a nazi tatoo(white gang shit) and comparing the mexican flag to the confederate flag.... a little hard to get i know i wrote it a little strange up there but thats the jist... he was saying y couldnt he wear red but the white kids could have confederate flags... i was saying well why cant white kids wear nazi symbols but mexicans can fly mexican flags... gang symbol vs flag in both situations....
Thats what i was referring to smart guy and again every hispanic i know and had the pleasure of being friends with was never banned from wearing shirts with the virgin de guadalupe.... and theyd seperate the brown pride shit because thats being color based which ALWAYS causes problems....

Color based?
It's funny that you never see white kids with confederate flags. I have no problem with the flag itself or people wearing it, but when schools choose what is ok to wear and what isn't, and are blatantly racist about it, I have a problem with it.
FYI, to some, the flag actually represents the Jim Crowe South and all the racist shit that went down in that era, which is why the flag is controversial in the first place. So like dude said, you can't compare the Mexican flag, nor Brown Pride, with the confederate flag. Sorry pal, you lose...
