    Do you have any concerns about the confederate flag ?

    Guess the city of Lubbock Texas will have to change its name. Named after Tom Lubbock, a Texas Ranger, signed Texas Declaration of Independence, oh , and a confederate officer. How racist is that. Flying it high.

    YES, I do have a concern with this flag, I think the blue colour on it should be a little darker, perhaps Royal blue, that's my favourite colour.

    I've seen a lot of Confederate flags and bumper stickers here, in the Detroit area for 50 yrs, b/c a lot of Southerns came up here to work in the bomber plants and in the automobile factories. They proudly displayed their Confederate Flags and bumper stickers to let people know they were from the south and they were proud of it. There's nothing wrong with that.!!

    So what does the Confederate flag stand for mcm? There must be more to it than "just being from the South"?

    I aways thought it was the flag of the southern part of America flown  by the Confederate Army during the American civil war, I didn't know that it had anything to do with race. Hopefully  someone will tell us where that, ie racism part comes from .

    Well here in England we never really learnt much about the American civil war, probably because we have so much of or own history to absorbe . I didn't know that it was just about slavery I didn't kow that the flag stood for slavery, I've learnt something recently.

    I don't think it stands for slavery but it's certainly associated with it.

    Yes I looked on the Web, it says that the civil war was partly about slavery. I have never been to America, both of my sons have and they were very surprised by the racism they saw when they were there, far worse than it is in the UK.


    The only thing I've seen is that as states and business's ban it- the more are sold!  Never paid much attention to it! Still don't except I see more now that all the attention seems to be on them!  Yea! May the USA always gripe about something!

    These days to be politically correct- Just keep your mouth shut! Don't seem like free speech to me!

    The Civil War, or War Between the States centered around the Confederate States' seceding from the Union, not why. It was a fight to keep the USA in tact. The issue of slavery was one of many.


    If the Confederate flag is banned, all non USA flags should be banned under the umbrella of racism. And zorro knows exactly of what I speak.
