Still closer to the ultimate goal.

Out with the Confederate flag.
Let's do some word association:

Confederacy.
Con-Federate.
Kevin Federline.
Moronic and big-headed.
Confederacy.

So there's more gripe about "southern values" versus symbolism of slavery and bigotry.
Has no-one remembered to mention that the two go hand in hand?

The most recent unofficial poll that I haven't taken yet shows that a solid majority of Americans will agree that the American Civil War actually did take place, and mostly on the grounds of slavery and moral differences regarding it.

The commonly used "Confederate Flag" was created during the Civil War period in support of the southern states that, in turn, supported slavery. So by touting the flag, southern values, that of the Civil War period, are being represented, which is slavery.

It's funny that two sides fighting on the topic are actually agreeing with one another, but one side is just taking the logical process an extra step.

Some may disagree, however, and claim that the "southern values" that the Confederate Flag represents are not of slavery, but of more recent, reputable values. These people are wrong.
Here's the truth:
You can't change what a flag represents.
You most certainly can add to it, but the origins of that flag, and the blood and sweat for slavery poured into it, will always remain.

Apparently, after such a revelation, all we're left with is ignorance.


--But I barely care about the flag. I care about the people that actually are naive enough to think that the south is still a separate colony. By carrying that flag, you are representing just that, segregation of state.

Therefore, I propose a more important change in American Society: the removal of the south from the United States.
The Confederate Flag is just the beginning. And even if we can't remove the states themselves, we could at least deport the people.
